What L K doesn't like about Kanoyama:
It’s fresh and nice sushi, but is it 100 bucks worth? I wouldn’t say so. Maybe years ago this place was rocking it, but there are better that are available now. View all feedback. What Helen Zhao likes about Kanoyama:
Quality of sushi is totally worth the price. Outdoor seating is tight but the staff are very professional. Got the soft shell crab special appetizer and sushi/sashimi for 2. View all feedback.

The dinner was astonishing. My recommendation is Nakaochi. This is some of the hidden gems sushi place you’ll find for the money in Manhattan.

The restaurant offers fresh and nice sushi, although some patrons question if the high prices are justified. Some diners have had negative experiences with the food, such as allergies being ignored and fish bones found in the sushi. Service also seems to be a recurring issue, with some guests experiencing long wait times and subpar service. However, the quality of the fish is highly praised, and the sushi is described as tasty. The Omakase option is recommended, and some patrons have had positive experiences with the staff and overall atmosphere. Despite some drawbacks, the restaurant seems to be a solid choice for sushi lovers in NYC.
