About this business

Amber offers delicious Japanese fusion dishes in an elegant atmosphere. The decor is distinctly forestal, and the chicken and sushi dishes are the star features on the menu. Service tends to be a tad slower than it should, but the staff makes up for that with friendly and co-operative demeanor. No matter what you order,make sure to have the famous Samari Martini accompany it. The place can get extremely crowded on weekends, so get there early. Call for details.

Excellent food and service – Amber exceeded our expectations. My wife and I are avid Sushi and Thai food eaters, not only was the food delicious but the menu items they offered are unique. We found the service to be excellent ; the servers were attentive and pleasant. I own a restaurant and give Amber my highest recommendation.

Hidden gem...better than Tao or Sushisamba any day! – I've been to a lot of sushi restaurants in NYC, LA and Boston. This by far beats any NY or LA place I've been to- including the ultra-trendy places like Tao or Sushisamba! And the price and service are much better as well! The spicy tuna rolls are perfect, as well as the shrimp and avacado! It almost beats Fugakyu in Boston, but not quite. But since its right in my neighborhood in NY, it reigns as the winner!!

BEST BAR DRINKS, BAR FOOD & FLAT SCREEN TV ON THE UPPER EAST – I eat out allot & love to sit at a bar & enjoy good drinks and food. Amber is the place for me. It has quick service, a full bar menu & the best drinks on 3rd avenue-upper east side. I love to watch sports on the large flat screen tv, enjoy the fine sushi & wash it all down with the best drinks in the city ! My personal recomedations are the Green Tea Margarita's & the Ocean Roll. Pure heaven.

Great "Crunchy Crunchy Crunchy" – I really liked their Crunchy Crunchy Crunchy tartar. It was so good! The sushi at this place is definitely great. Atmosphere also good. Only complaint: no service! Our waitress came by, took our order, brought the food, and that was all she did... we had to ask the bus boy for our check b/c she had disappeared. I think I'll give them one more try since the food was so good and hopefully we won't run into a bad waitress. Definitely recommended if you live in UES, and even worth a little trek ... read more

AWESOME PLACE, GREAT DRINKS & FREINDLY SERVICE – I live in the neighbourhood so its very convenient for me & i visit a couple times a week to eat and have an occasional drink.The manager Bo is a very nice guy, he takes time to interact with patrons and make them feel great. Lileyanne makes the best Mojito on the face of the earth and Shane (the other bartender) always is good for a laugh. I highly recomend going there, the place is clean and warm & it is full of good looking people. 5 star recomendation !

GREAT ROMANTIC, FUN PLACE! – Heard of Amber from a few friends couple months ago, couldn't help myself from going back since then! The decor is both romantic and hip, with AWESOME music playing in the back. The food is always fresh, from the satay to sangria duck to sushi, I've tried 'em all without breaking the bank! Service was average at first, but after seeing a few new faces, BIG improvement, more attentive (tho too much at times) and friendly staff, credit to the management! All my friends and I will keep on passing th... read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE..COULD CARE LESS ABOUT MAKING CUSTOMERS HAPPY!! DISAPPOINTMENT!! – Okay well, i am a frequent customer of this place, UNTIL TONIGHT. Not only did the waiter rush me into ordering, but he brought drinks to the table that I did not order, but he had the nerve to charge me for them! On top of that, he messed up my sushi order, but instead of making a big deal about it, I just told him I couldn't eat what he brought, and he STILL charged me for his mistake! And to finish the night off, I went to order dessert an... read more

The BEST Red Snapper – Went there for drinks and dinner. Amber has a pretty lively atmosphere, the right mix of energy and music that's not too low to bore you and not too loud to discourage. THe Red Snapper is absolutely amazing and come in a large portion, especially for seafood. Drinks are excellent. The decor is modern and sleekly clean, the bathrooms are some of the nicest I've seen in a while. A must try, I highly recommend.
