Inase Sushi - New York

This place is consistently delicious! The food is always fresh, and the cooked dishes are equally fantastic. Although it may seem a bit unassuming when you first walk in, the warm welcome you receive makes it worth venturing out, even in the rain.

The sushi at Inase is absolutely delicious we had some salmon belly nigiri, chutoro nigiri, and amber jack nigiri which were all phenomenal. The fish is such great quality and have a melt in your mouth feel. They also use some special ingredients that make the sushi more unique, but the flavors all blend together so well. We also had some of the best soft shell crab lightly crispy but still juicy and tender. Finally, the owners are so friendly and warm we were the only ones dining at the sushi bar and had such a great time talking with them. It was really the highlight of our day in NYC.

There’s no better quality sushi to be found in New York City. Additionally, the warm and friendly hospitality provided by Jun and Shoko makes you feel like you’re among long-time friends. I highly recommend trying the omakase sets to experience Jun's finest creations. The ikura served on scallops instead of rice, as well as the aka uni, are highlights among the nigiri. The octopus tempura is also exceptional. The decor has a cozy feel, with much of the space utilized for storing kitchen supplies.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant! The sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious! The ambiance truly captures the essence of Japan, and above all, the staff were exceptionally friendly! We will definitely be back! You won't regret visiting this place.

Banging Sushi restaurant with fresh, inexpensive seafood imported directly from Japan that on dishes alone would be a 5/5 but unfortunately is complemented with an absolutely awful indoor/outdoor dining layout. Better served as a takeout spot. $10 a roll. 4.25/5 stars as a dinner spot.
