Sushi by M-East 4th st 75 East 4th Street, Manhattan, New York 10003

"Exceedingly friendly staff are very interactive out of their way to make the experience a pleasant one. Omakase was a fun experience and sushi seemed to be of high quality. I will plan to return!"

"Top notch omakase. Excellent quality and service and they also have great sake selection. The uni rice is out of the world. Check out the a la cart menu. They are sooooooo good."

"Look. There is a difference between a 250$ omakase and a less than 100$ omakase. For a sub-100$ omakase, Sushi by M is a 5 star. But overall 4 from me. Sushi By M definitely has a more fun and modern vibe. The music was bumpin. The host was so fun and welcoming and the chef talked to us quite a bit! I really enjoyed the service- they did kind of push the pricier option a few times but yknow. That's capitalism and show biz for u babey! Anyway. The fish was really good quality and fresh. I really enjoyed the pieces, many were memorable and they added some bougie pieces as well. I could definitely see the chefs taking their time on the pieces. There were unique flavors- I really liked the garlic chili crisp on one of the pieces. My favorite was the truffle piece that I added on cause I just had to. The uni was also incredible, coming from someone who doesn't like uni too much. It was also my BFs bday and they gave an extra tuna/salmon tartar(?) and i thought it was really sweet!!"

"Wanted to enjoy a nice omakase during my short trip to NY and found Sushi by M on some on-line searches. $121 including tax and 20% tip is very reasonable. The food taste was good and the chefs were very friendly, even giving me extra Uni. Why 4 stars and not 5? I’m biased and want a more “authentic” omakase experience and comparing to other experiences throughout US and Asia. Some missing elements for me were: the rice was average and sushi rice is very important. Green tea was not brewed tea but a “cheap” tea bag. One of the chefs used wore plastic gloves…I’ve never had a real sushi chef wear plastic gloves. There was no tamago served as the last piece. Overall decor was more a Chinese restaurant style ca a Japanese restaurant. So overall it was a good experience with really nice people. I was just expecting a more authentic experience."

"BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! Food quality was insane. My brother and i didn’t want to swallow because we were savoring each bite so much. The service was immaculate (special shout-out to Andy and the chef who didn’t judge me for not knowing how to use chopsticks). I feel very blessed and privileged to have experienced this place. I felt the perfect level of full after the meal and would come back here again and again. If you have Andy has your server, give him a 30% tip!!!!!"
