🐼 JackieJanuary 29, 2017Been coming here for 10+ years! staff is really friendly, the service is good (they keep my hot green tea cup filled) and the food has always been consistently good. Chicken sharaku is my fave!Upvote2Downvote
Misook JiJuly 21, 2014This place has been here for a long time even before NYkers knew what sushi is. Not fancy but solid. Great place to hang out & enjoy food at sushi bar when you are alone. Great for big groups too!UpvoteDownvote
Rebecca LiMay 30, 2013I've been coming here for ten+ years. I love this place!!! Food and service is great. I'm a huge fan of the carrot ginger dressing.

The new beverage menu features an appealing and shorter sake list, 4 by the glass, 5 bottles. A personal fave, Onigoroshi, made the cut.UpvoteDownvote
Holger LüdorfDecember 17, 2010Solid sushi. Saba and Uni were great quality. Trust me, I loves in Japan for a few years and this place serves good sushi!Upvote5Downvote- Sushi lunch has morped for the 3rd time in recent months. It's expanded to include 2 pieces of salmon, yellow tail & tuna.UpvoteDownvote
Matt HantzMay 9, 2013The spicy mayo is very different from other sushi joints: very little mayo and a consistency that resembles grainy mustard. Still good, but be forewarned.

Sunnie ParkMay 12, 2012The pre-fixe dinner (2 entrees, choice of miso or veggie soup), rice and salad is about 15.00. It's a great deal. Definitely worth it.Upvote1Downvote

David HollandsSeptember 28, 2011Service can be slow when busy, but overall, a great value at one of the few Sushi places that also has a large kitchen menu. Sukiyaki!UpvoteDownvote

Ina LiAugust 28, 2015Reasonable dinner deal. Two entrees meal for only 17(go for salmon steak and mushroom tofu). The taste is okay and sashimi is so so

$8.95 miso soup, salad, spicy salmon, main dish, bottomless green tea cups and fruit for dessert... Until 4:45!UpvoteDownvote- Sharaku has new management and a new sake list to go with it. Gone is Wakataki Onigoroshi, for one.UpvoteDownvote

Anyone who knows sushi, knows this place is pretty much garbage, fortunately for them, most of its patrons are college kids from middle America that don't know any better and write glowing reviewsUpvoteDownvote
