    If you are debating on where to eat tonight, don’t think twice just book the reservation. My husband and I have been to the top Omakasa restaurants in NYC and this place tops them all. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is calming, and the service is top notch. I swear that you will be talking about your dinner for weeks to come. You won’t regret it.

    Quiet Sunday evening and perfect! Excellent service; amazing fresh sushi. Rolled beautifully with lots of fish and thin rice. Started with two of their house special miso soups- excellent. Simple seaweed salad was anything but simple; delicious. Had one other appetizer and specialty rolls. There were lots of choices on the main menu as well. Something for everyone. I have eaten sushi in every major city- rarely do I post reviews; but Nare Sushi, I definitely recommend.
