Restaurante de sushi · Turtle Bay · 256 tips y reseñas
DailyCandy: The twenty-piece omakase menu doesn’t skimp on quality: Rice takes a bath in Japanese charcoal-purifed water, and fish is scrutinized for quality before being served.
172 Thompson St (btwn Bleecker & Houston St), New York, NY
Restaurante de sushi · Greenwich Village · 217 tips y reseñas
DailyCandy: “Crowded” is an understatement. Once inside, find what you’d imagine a wooden shack on the Japanese coast to be: strangely cozy and stocked with fresh fish of every variety.
119 Sullivan St (btwn Prince & Spring St), New York, NY
Restaurante de sushi · SoHo · 294 tips y reseñas
DailyCandy: Fish is flown in from Japan and listed by ocean of origin. It’s unpretentious and offers a healthy selection of fish-free options for vegetarians: natto (fermented beans) and yama gobo (baby burdock).
331 Flatbush Ave (btw Park Place & Prospect Place), Brooklyn, NY
Restaurante japonés · Prospect Heights · 80 tips y reseñas
DailyCandy: Appetizers (pork gyoza; submarine tartar with salmon, jalapeno, and mayo), soup specials, and a copious sushi platter for two prove why this place has been a Brooklyn institution since 1985.
Restaurante de sushi · North Slope · 92 tips y reseñas
DailyCandy: Bypass the lines at Geido and mosey down Flatbush Avenue for equally satisfying sushi at Taro. Dark, wood fixtures and minimal design provide a moody backdrop for indulgences like toro tartar.
136 W Houston St (btwn Sullivan & MacDougal St), New York, NY
Restaurante de sushi · Greenwich Village · 71 tips y reseñas
DailyCandy: Precision and detail are Ushiwaka Maru’s modus operandi. Gourmands love it for the vinegar-laden sticky rice and unusual sazae (sea snails) and shiroebi (mini white shrimp).
15 E 15th St (btwn 5th Ave & Union Sq W), New York, NY
Restaurante japonés · Union Square · 136 tips y reseñas
DailyCandy: At 15 East, the sushi is as clean-cut as the sleek, white interior. Try the omakase (“I’ll leave it to you”), for ten pieces of chef-selected sashimi. Tuna fiends can delight in a flight.
Restaurante japonés · Cobble Hill · 156 tips y reseñas
DailyCandy: This comfy spot is as close to authentic Kyoto-style as you can get. Daily obanzai (tapas) is a must; the chirashi — a heaping bowl of sashimi, veggies, omelet, and rice — is one of the best around.
DailyCandy: Tokyo-trained chef Eiji Ichimura churns out classic, Tokyo-style sushi. Bridging the gap between experimental and traditional, each meal is customized to the diner’s cravings.
Restaurante de sushi · Central Slope · 44 tips y reseñas
DailyCandy: Look past the fake bamboo and focus on what matters: affordable, high-quality sushi on Brooklyn’s Fifth Avenue. Go big with the Three Famous Sushi Platter, a combo of salmon, tuna, and yellowtail.
6 Bond St (btwn Broadway & Lafayette St), New York, NY

Restaurante de sushi · Alphabet City · 25 tips y reseñas
DailyCandy: Chef Sho Boo’s tasting menus change based on the day’s finds — but it’s consistently delicious. Start with a toothsome bowl of plum salt-flecked edamame and leave the rest to her.
Restaurante de sushi · East Village · 98 tips y reseñas
DailyCandy: The folks at Kanoyama are a head above the rest, with specials like hamachi carpaccio with yuzu juice and sea salt, sea conch sashimi, and Tasmanian ocean trout.
130 Saint Marks Pl (btwn 1st Ave & Ave A), New York, NY
Restaurante japonés · East Village · 65 tips y reseñas
DailyCandy: The menu exists in the chef’s head, and you can watch him as he works. The majority of Kura’s fish is shipped straight from the motherland. Specialties include squid sashimi and giant clam.
Restaurante de sushi · Upper East Side · 113 tips y reseñas
DailyCandy: Tanoshi bends traditional sushi to please contemporary tastes, but keeps its integrity with top-quality catch. Feeling lucky? Nab one of ten seats and indulge in an unforgettable omakase tasting menu.

Restaurante de sushi · 88 tips y reseñas
DailyCandy: Don’t let the electronic music and LCD lights distract you. Instead, focus on inventive rolls like the Wasabi (bursting with four types of caviar) and the Humble Bee (topped with mango).
