Sushi Ishikawa

my favorite place for sushi

My friends and I were celebrating my birthday at Sushi Ishikawa last weekend, and unfortunately I was quite disappointed with my experience. The quality of the sushi was lacking. The fish tasted stale and lacked freshness, which is a crucial aspect of any sushi restaurant. The presentation of each course was over-compensating, heavy toppings, mix flavors. Furthermore, the service was rushing and inattentive. We didn't get our drinks until 30 minutes after we ordered. Our chef was professional, but seemed overwhelmed. We tried to ask for more details for each piece of sushi we had, but the staff seemed distracted and unresponsive to our questions. We didn't know what we were eating the half of the time. My favorite course is the dessert... The overall experience is 1.5 star. I wouldn't recommend here to others. The quality of the food and service here do not match its high price point.

Absolutely amazing omakase on the UES, the best I've ever had anywhere. The staff were masterful, knowledgeable and good humored. The whole experience was fantastic, I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a top-tier omakase experience in NYC.

A+

These pictures capture the essence of this extremely hidden gem, making the experience akin to a treasure hunt. The effort put into finding it is rewarded with an exceptional Omakase. The pricing is very reasonable, especially considering the quality, which ranks among the best I've experienced in NYC. I will definitely be returning.

Phenomenal food and service
