Sushi Ryusei,

216 East 39th Street, Manhattan, New York 10016

"Premium omakase has numerous delights at a very reasonable price point- hairy crab, snow crab, abalone to just name a few. Botan ebi was delicious, the head fried perfectly. Japanese uni luscious and sweet. Spicy scallop handroll was fabulous. Two minor feedback- when explaining the fish, use both Japanese and English names, sometimes we non-Japanese do remember the Japanese names! Secondly, if someone is ordering sushi a la carte, please offer the choice to let the chef apply the soy sauce! My wife and I, I had omakase and she did not, and it was a bit weird she had to put her own soy and mine was already perfect. In any case, I highly recommend this place for omakase and sushi!"

"Best sushi I've ever had. Be sure to try the fatty tuna. Absolutely worth it. Dessert was just as good. Fried ice cream and creme brulee were the perfect treat to the end of a delightful meal. Service was very good. We stayed until close and they cleaned absolutely everything."

"This is an excellent, intimate, sushi restaurant with some limited menu options for those guests who are not inclined to the delicacy. I like sushi, but I'm not given to Uni, so I ordered the sushi platter with a spicy scallop side. Excellent. We're not big drinkers, so YMMV re: the $ per person with cocktails. The real star here is the sushi. Also notable: the desserts! Delicious cheesecake and fried ice cream!"

"Edit: Restaurant called me to make things right and apologized for the experience. I think the sea urchin was ultimately the culprit. In good conscience, I can't entirely overlook the quality control, but also I don't want to subjugate the place to something that may have been an honest error or out of their hands, especially given the customer service. Thus, revising to a 3/5. --- Original: Ordered the Sashimi and Sushi Premium Omakase. Tasted great, but got food poisoning a few hours later. For $180+tax+tip per person, I got to say... this was a huge letdown. Not worth the gamble, and there are other Omakase places I've been to for cheaper that tasted as good or better and didn't make me sick. Sad. Service was great, and ambiance was also good. Location is alright, not the best. If the food didn't make me sick, I'd have given this place a 5 star review."

"Good food, if you get counter omakase the chefs make it in front u and you eat it 1 by 1. The fish are fresh and tasty. Price is about 100-180 per person for omakase. There are a variety of sushi in the omakase combo and each tastes are unique. Over all good experience."
