The team behind Crave Fishbar, NYC's first 100% sustainable seafood restaurant, is enhancing their reputation as the go-to fish brand by opening Crave Sushi Bar, directly next door to their midtown location of Crave Fishbar, and in keeping with the ethos of the group, have a focus on sustainable domestic fish.Items such as Local Sea Scallop Nigiri with beurre noisette and celtic sea salt; Kona Kampachi Sashimi - shiso yuzu pesto, topped with popped quinoa; Dressed Hudson Valley Steelhead Trout Sashimi highlight Chef Mitgang’s bold approach to the cuisine.Beverage program is overseen by Brian Owens with a large sake selection, cocktails paired for the food menu, Japanese whiskys, and tequila, which Owens believes is a great pairing.The space is centered by a sushi bar, comfy booths and banquettes with seating for 60 people. Their responsible and ethical sourcing practices carry over into the materials used for the design: weathered metals, textured woods, an oceanic color palette.

Multiple dates available
Sun - Sat - 5:00 PM - 9:45 PM
Introducing our Hand Roll @ High-Ball Cocktail Happy Hour every day 5-6:30pm centered around open-style sushi hand rolls (think sushi tacos) that are two bites of locally sourced and creative genius delivered to your table within seconds of being rolled up. All of our hand rolls are $8 and we feature daily specials of what just landed in our local waters that our fishmonger sources seasonally. We also feature a Wagyu bao bun sourced from our friends at New England Wagyu farms. And what is happy hour without a great deal on drinks? Our bar team has created a fun selection of High-Ball cocktails focused on using high quality spirits topped with Badger Beverages, a local craft soda purveyor. All of our High-Ball cocktails are priced at $10

A very thoughtful restaurant the waitress was super friendly. She asked if we need some rice before starting ordering(we brought our three-year old girl) because they understand kids can’t handle being hungry! The seafood was very fresh and delicious. Highly recommended especially bring your kids!

Fresh and flavored sushi. Nice ambience and all items are not too seasoned and too covered with sauce.
