Sushi Azabu’s cool, subterranean ambiance is paired with some of the most authentic Japanese sushi in all of New York. It is truly a dining experience unlike anywhere else in the city. Read more

Can't go wrong here. Grab a bar seat & leave it in the hands of the capable chefs. The flavorful black throat fatty snappy, buttery Hakkaido uni & best o-toro anywhere are absolute must haves.

The fish used in Azabu’s seafood platters is shipped from Japan, then sliced into dishes like Shime saba. Sushi Azabu’s subterranean ambiance creates an experience unlike anywhere else in the city. Read more

Michelin one star, good selection and authentic sushi. I would recommend the omakase and follow their fresh taste of the day to make the most of your tasting experience!
Joe DMarch 9, 2016
Come with your +1. Ask to sit at the sushi bar. Make sure one of you gets the uni tasting. Get a bit tipsy and soak in the experience.

Awesome sushi speakeasy. Came here for my 30th celebration with zeina. Loved the nigiri sampler and the the crab (ok) and the seaweed salad
DesireeJune 18, 2014
My very first omakase. Nice small intimate space. Very tradtional, super fresh...especially the tuna, sea urchin, and salom roe. Excellent service. The heated toilet seat was pretty awesome too.

Call in 2 weeks ahead for reservations. Neck to neck with Yasuda, but Azabu edges out on the rice this time. Chef's omakase is a must. Uni from Hokkaido is the sh!t, so don't bother with Cali uni.
Margarita KrupDecember 20, 2016
Tasting menu was AMAZING! The Uni melted in your mouth. Reserve a spot at the counter and watch the magic happen.

This stealthy sushi shrine—tucked away in the basement of Greenwich Grill—attracts solo diners who happily hobnob with the talkative chefs while popping exceptional nigiri morsels into their mouths. Read more

Very expensive. Avoid the Uni Tasting. The Local Uni (Santa Barbara) was better than the Japan Uni from northern Hokkaido. The Wagyu Steak was excellent. The King Crab (pictured) was good.
DanwenAugust 26, 2014
Good not amazing. Though first time having Hokkaido uni here. Will be back for live uni nights.
Alice M. HuynhSeptember 14, 2014
Head to head to Yasuda, definitely worth the money! Make a reservation for Omakase and enjoy every single bite! Also try the apple sorbet as dessert ! Awesome!
Princess Abigail BacaniJanuary 23, 2013
Inside the Greenwich Grill is another restaurant hidden within. Head for the waiter station, swish through a black curtain and descend the stairs to a secret sushi den. Reservations are required.
Michelle WilesMarch 1, 2017
If you're gonna come here you gotta do the tasting menu. Some of the best I've had in the city.
Matty CitoMay 10, 2015
An experience. One of my true Uni wake up calls with @joh and the inkman. I dream of it weekly
Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 2, 2013
Faithful renditions of traditional sushi are a highlight. Also try tender Wagyu beef tataki or chawan mushi with crab. – Green Guide Editor
Nathan YuenAugust 6, 2014
Authentic omakase experience!!
Grace S.January 16, 2011
Highlights were the fatty tuna and king salmon sashimi, butterfish grilled collar, smoked wagyu nigiri and fruit meringue roll for dessert. Everything was out of this world!
Village VoiceSeptember 12, 2013
Order the Bakudan-Nattō topped with a quail egg, with homemade soy sauce and scallions. It's a local's favorite!
No Leftovers Jackie GebelJanuary 11, 2017
Amazing omakase! On the quieter side for an NYC restaurant, in a good way
JadeApril 6, 2016
Amazing omakase. Sit downstairs at the sushi bar. Reservations in advance.
Grace S.January 26, 2014
+Wagyu beef nigiri, king salmon, fatty tuna, Red snapper collar, avocado uni, meringue roll
Ofra OfritaJune 15, 2020
Best order-in sushi ever! Better tasting than most dine in sushi in nyc.
Michael OhrDecember 14, 2013
Best sushi I ever had. Go for the Chef's Omakase Course, you won't be disappointed!
Serious EatsMarch 3, 2013
Must-Haves: Red snapper collar, medium fatty tuna
DragondenisJune 20, 2013
They won't allow you to order sushi without a reservation. But if you are getting sushi - definitely do the koi menu - absolutely worth it.
S. FanAugust 14, 2013
Santa Barbara uni vs. Hokkaido uni on the house. Friend with the chef, Terado San, now :)
Santa DimopulosJune 10, 2014
Get the table downstairs. Best uni and sashimi I have ever tried!!!)
Rafi RomeroAugust 9, 2015
Got the 10-piece nigiri. It was ok. Tanoshi in the UES is still my favorite sushi place in the city by far.
S. FanAugust 14, 2013
Just go with the omakase! Terado San never disappoints.
Charles BJuly 24, 2019
not the best value in town, but a really delicious omakase if you’re looking for something in this hood.
Joan ParkJuly 19, 2015
amazing value for lunchbox deals and lunch specials.

let terado san wow you with the variety of sushi. end the meal with matcha meringue roll that melts in your mouth.
Moto NakamuraDecember 28, 2011
This is best Sushi restaurant in NYC I ever had. Please order "Omakase course". That is very reasonable.
Ron GFebruary 19, 2011
Very uneven service and food. Far from the best in NYC. I would settle for sometimes the best below 14th St, but not reliable enough. Not much competition in Tribeca.
cynthia wangApril 25, 2017
omakase at the sushi bar. exquisite!!

Awesome sushi- total hidden gem. King salmon nigiri is off the charts.
Fan Loretta BuFebruary 3, 2016
Sushi is really good!
Russell EmeryAugust 7, 2012
Get the omakase & sit at the bar! Be sure to buy the chef a beer.

Omakase. You won't be disappointed.

Kurt Gutenbrunner, chef of Blaue Gans, eats here on his nights off. He loves the "Wagyu" beef tataki. Read more
KaydeeApril 23, 2010
Sit at sushi bar downstairs in the comfy tall chairs for a more intimate experience. Order the Koi course for a great sampling of nigiri.
Eugene AuhAugust 5, 2010
Go on your birthday, get the omakase or pretty much anything, get a special cocktail from barman upstairs, leave happy
JenFebruary 20, 2014
Their nigiri set doesn't compare to Ushi's. Don't spend your money here if you are looking to get your piece of uni and toro scallion rolls
Jeff ChaFebruary 22, 2012

Sit at the counter. Toto-san in the man!
Drew 5September 28, 2016
maybe there is something magical on the menu... just ask...
Warren ChangMay 31, 2014
Omakase, no doubt about it. Do the Uni tasting if you can.
