Perhaps one of New York's most unique & exciting sushi experiences. For veterans, lovers, and those who are new to the art , this is a must do and the Omakase special is a great place to start!

CB

Quality of sushi is outstanding- would rank Gari at the top of the places in Manhattan. There are no bargains here. Get salmon sushi with roasted tomato and spicy scallop hand roll .

The Corcoran Group

Like it’s sister restaurants , they’re serving some of the freshest and tastiest Sushi in all of Manhattan – it’s like you’re in Tokyo. Splurge on the chef’s omakase .

Nic Cope

They do vegetarian omakase upon request! Get the omakase at the bar . 14 veggie pieces for ~$50 or 14 seafood pieces for ~$90. Friendly service and the best sushi I've had make it worth every cent.

Adrian L

Only come here if you can budget about $100 for omakase . You will not be disappointed. My favorite was the double uni - one from Japan, one from Cali, stacked on top of one another. Supreme.

Halstead Property

Freshness is the name of the game when it comes to sushi . The lobster tempura was outstanding, and for those who aren’t fish-lovers, the breast of duckling was extremely tender and perfectly flavored.

Andrea Weiss Weiss

Would eat here every day if I could! The fish is extremely fresh and you can taste the difference. cute/cozy atmosphere too. Hajiki seaweed salad is great.

Jane Chu

The tuna here is really good and overall the fish are all fresh. However, I go mainly for the tuna . This location is the best imo of all the Gari restaurants in NYC.

Jason H.

It's very good but IF you're going to do the omakase go to the East Side location. Much more wow factor there. At this location - just order off the menu .

Jenna

Sensational! The. Best. Sushi . Ever. And do not fail to try an utterly amazing seaweed salad either. End your meal here with mochi and smile all the way home.

Alana Frankfort

Salmon Tomato sushi is a must... and if you really want to splurge, it's worth getting the omakase ... an unforgettable experience!

Raymond Mann

Get the omakase . But also ask them to surprise you if your still hungry. Easily one of the most inventive sushi houses in NYC.

Ben

Best sushi in the upper west side, hands down. Great selection of sake - expect to pay for it though.

JL

Delicious, Cousy, service is excellent. They will charge your phone if needed.

Nathan

If you couldn't manage to snag a seat at the sushi bar , the sushi deluxe does the trick.

Christopher Cocchiaraley

Tender and tasty sushi niigiri await you at this energetic, yet overpriced, neighborhood favorite. Bring your appetite and a credit card. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Best salmon skin roll in the city . Super crunchy. Yum. Gari's sushi are creative and yummy too.

Alina Alya Gruzdeva

Highly recommend: chapped eel with avocado and salmon with hot tomato !!

Roman Tyrsin

Omakase ! Omakase ! Omakase ! It is so scrumptious!!! If you come here you have to try Omakase !

Jennifer Nyp

must order: fried oysters , salmon with hot tomato , squid , yellowtail and they have a pretty good rose .

Alex Kesling

Try the chef 's tasting menu ... it's amazing.

Brandon

Freshness is amazing but $150 for a 12, single piece, omakase is just crazy.

Yasser Masood

Free hot green tea after your meal to help the digestion. Water refilled are free and unlimited.

Damian Corbett

The omakase tasting menu sushi and shashimi is a must. My first time here surely won't be the last.....

Sulee

Salmon skin , squid/shiso, spicy tuna all delish!

Benjy Weinberger

The omakase is very pricy but more than worth it. By far my best sushi experience outside Japan.

Lucy H.

"Fusion" omakase meant one piece of sushi had a warm tomato topping. Good pieces didn't make up for the bad ones IMO.

Evi

Amazing sushi . Pricey but worth it!

Nadim Jaber

Amazing! Order the omakase ! No questions asked!

Pat Nakajima

Sit at the sushi bar , by yourself. Order a bottle of nigori. Get the omakase .

Serena T

i liked all the gari style sushi except the tomato/salmon

Linds

The wait staff are literally depressed if you sit at the sushi bar and try to ask for anything other than sushi . Don't make them sad, it's DEF worth it to just go with whatever they recommend.

Chiara Pedroni

One word: omakase ! it's divine

NY Waterway

The seabass here was one of the best dishes we have ever had! Delicious!

Kristina Korhonen

The omakasse is to die for!

Margot

Salmon with tomato , sweet tuna with pinenut and spicy scallop handroll are my faves!

Verna

Faves: salmon tomato , snapper with salad , tuna with tofu sauce and spicy scallop roll

Baly

Don't be fooled by the disposable chopsticks and paper napkins. This is good stuff.

The Fun Consultant!
