Best sushi in New York City, 2026

  1. Blue Ribbon SushiRestaurant · SoHoThis is where chefs eat after their own restaurants close.
  2. Daigo Hand Roll BarRestaurant · MidtownIt’s small. It’s efficient. The fish is fresh.
  3. JukuRestaurant · West VillageJuku (32 Commerce Street, West Village) is relatively new and already one of the best in the city.
  4. KatsueiRestaurant · Park SlopeKatsuei (210 7th Avenue, Park Slope) is the sushi restaurant I tell every Brooklyn friend about.
  5. Nami NoriRestaurant · West VillageThe lobster hand roll is obscene.
  6. SugarfishRestaurant · FlatironIt’s the place I recommend more than any other sushi restaurant in the city.
  7. Sushi NakazawaRestaurant · West VillageThe prix fixe is $150+ per person before drinks, and it’s worth it in the way that any truly great meal is worth it.
  8. Sushi of GariRestaurant · Upper East SideI’ve had pieces here that I’m still thinking about years later.
  9. Tanoshi Sushi Sake BarRestaurant · Upper East SideRead that again. BYO omakase. In Manhattan.
