Village VoiceNovember 26, 2012Top-notch sushi at a good price. Every bite of raw fish on rice is a joy, but you'll miss out if you don't try one of the hot dishes, like the silky uni porridge. Critics' choice for best sushi bar.
Elizabeth BursteinNovember 11, 2017Awesome fresh fish rolls + great service. Loved the spicy salmon roll, the scallop roll. The unagi avocado was a bit overwhelming in size. The neta was same size but not as overwhelming. Jasmine tea
Marines MendezMarch 19, 2016The Spicy salmon canapé was amazing only to be topped by the shrimp tempura and szechuan salmon roll. This is definitely one of the best rolls I've tasted.
Paula BuzzoJuly 24, 2018Start with sushi, very fresh. As second, ask for the Umami Donburi. Excellent prices for Restaurant Week, but make sure to book a table. Excellent attendance.
- Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014Every bite of raw fish on warm rice is a joy, but you'll be missing out if you don't order some of the hot dishes, like the silky uni porridge. Read more
Ruby AnayaApril 30, 2017Unique omakase at three price points - $110, $150 and $230. The first one is more than filling, and the dishes are super creative! Great cocktails too.
One of the best sushi spots in NYC. The service is fantastic and the food is even better. Try the Szechuan spiced salmon!
This place was awesome. Tough to get a ressie but a real hidden village gem. The wok fried lobster was the best dish I've had in a while!
Time Out New YorkJune 4, 2013The nontraditional omakase (featuring Americanized novelties like spicy salmon, and is punctuated with ultracreamy peanut-butter ice cream) rivals even that of the staunchest of sushi classicists. Read more
- Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014Top-notch sushi doesn't have to be prohibitively expensive or posh. Neta's prices are reasonable, the portions are generous, and everything is delivered with minimum fuss. Read more
Cyndi BerzowDecember 13, 2012The chefs from Masa and Bar Mas old up their reputation here. The omakase is the way to go and the uni porridge was fantastic. Only thing that worries me is the cursed local..
Angela IsabelOctober 16, 2016Small plates/tapas are truly special, rolls and nigiris are not. Omakase includes all of those styles and is priced based on number of courses and quality of ingredients.
CezaryAugust 1, 2012the uni is to die for, the toro sushi is heavenly (even if it's expensive) and the shubui cocktail is a beautiful blend of gin, lime, peppercorn and (yes!) scallions
Benjamin PalmerJuly 28, 2013Omakase for sure. Amazing fish, everything is really interesting and delicious. Hands down the best uni I've ever had (fyi it's from santa Barbara )
Serious EatsApril 20, 2013One of our favorite restaurants for upscale Japanese sushi and more (cocktails, too). Though prices are far from cheap, Neta offers a much better value than Manhattan's sushi giants.
Ernesto GutierrezMarch 7, 2018Your mileage may vary depending on what you get. The uni porridge and wagyu uni sushi are a must. The rolls however disappoint. The salmon canapé roll tastes very pale and lackluster in comparison.
Cynthia LinMay 27, 2017A great non-sushi part of their omakases but the sushi segment is a bit lacking. A bit expensive at $230 for 14 courses
- DesireeApril 14, 2015Very filling omakase. Mix of appetizers, hot dishes, sushi, and rolls. The peanut butter ice cream at the end was amazing!
julia tNovember 16, 2014Tasting menu a delight. Uni / scallop so smooth and tasty. Tequila / shiso cocktail sharp and tasty.- Every time I go to Neta it's such an incredible experience. Waygu + uni = absolutely.
Tobin Schwaiger-HastananJune 9, 2012The menu has a lot of awesome offerings, but the omakase is the way to go! Also say hi to Chef Nick! Amazing staff to boot!

Eaters HeavenDecember 2, 2017My 5x and it breaks my heart to say this time it was just ok. Some dishes were too salty&other dishes were underwhelming. I ordered the $150 omakase. High note, Crémant was delish&service was great
Nichole HortonNovember 19, 2017The sushi is all super fresh and delicious but crispy duck rice is my fav!
Get the omakase and a cocktail followed by glass of sake then finish it off with another cocktail.
Jenny MDecember 28, 2012Great sushi, wonderful vegetarian selection. Hip music! Benches are super comfy but view is better from bar.
Elena V.April 14, 2012Toro tartar w/ toast points is spectacular! The sakura sparkling sake makes a lovely spring aperitif.
ShivaniJanuary 9, 2015Get the omakase & sit at the bar. Skip the super fatty pb ice cream though - your bootay doesn't need that shizz.
Miguel de LeonOctober 10, 2014Bar seats should be de rigueur. Omakase is good, saké selection is strong.
Emily ForrestJune 22, 2013Sushi and peanut butter ice cream? Does it get any better? Don't miss the omakase menu here.
Colin M. FordOctober 2, 2015If you like your sushi inventive and accompanied by gangsta rap, make your way to Neta
Paola ViscogliosiJanuary 27, 2018What upset me was that they refused to accommodate my request to stop serving me the omakase after I told them I was full. This was after we ordered an expensive bottle of sake.
Juliet FrerkingFebruary 2, 2014Delicious but TEENY portions. Left with a hungry rumble in my stomach
Jun HamMay 22, 2013The wet napkin they give you, do not remove from the bowl. It's meant to just clean your fingers.
