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.

Cool spot for fresh fish. – I liked the fun retro-neo-post modern asian ' 2001' decor at Amber. My date and I sat at one of the casual bar tables at the front near the weeping pebble-stone wall. There's a brightly blue & red light lit bar, a main dining area and a lovely back (indoor) "garden" room. Thumping music played throughout our stay and the general noise level was high. We had seaweed salads, shared 17 pieces of sushi & sashimi, a tuna sashimi roll wrapped in cucumber, a bowl of edamame and some premium cold sake. Th... read more
Best Sushi I've Ever Had and Great Staff – We just found this place two weeks ago and have already been there three times. There is a great variety to choose from and specialty rolls are incredible. We've also had the same waiter the last three times and he has quickly asserted himself as "best of all time". Most attentive and friendly waiter in an expensive dark sushi lounge on the upper east side by far.
Terrible experience – My boyfriend and I went to Amber last night and had great drinks at the bar while waiting for our table. After we were seated we ordered some unfiltered Sake which was fabulous. Now the disappointing part. My boyfriend ordered Chicken Teriyaki and I ordered a sushi combination. His food was presented to him and mine failed to show up. 15 minutes after he was served (and almost done with his meal) they told me that indeed my food was still in the queue at the sushi bar. It's uncooked food! What possibly ... read more
Asian fusion on the upper east side – I've visited this place about 10 times now, and have been a happy customer since coming here a year ago. The sushi bar, hot appetizers and pan-Asian main courses are excellent. The place has a hip vibe you'd expect to find downtown, not on the upper east side. Its a welcome change to the somewhat conservative neighborhood. For appetizers, I'd recommend the soft shell crab, spicy New Zealand mussels, calamari and anything from the sushi bar. Its all very fresh. For mains, the crispy duck,... read more
Incredibly fresh sushi, great atmosphere. – I'm a confessed sushi freak. I have been to hundreds of sushi bars, and Amber consistently has some of the freshest offerings I've ever tasted. The chefs are true artists, and they take pride in their presentation. Many sushi bars have lost the artistic appeal of their craft, but not Amber. Everything I order looks like a masterpiece, and tastes like heaven. Seating is ample and comfortable, and the atmosphere is very appealing! Even the bathrooms are gorgeous. It feels very chic, ... read more
Great Date Sushi – I found this place to be an overall great restaurant, especially considering the neighborhood (many b-restaurants without much flair). It looked more like a chic lounge than sushi spot. The decorating was great, the lighting, the music, all great and relaxing. The food too, definitely better than average! A little pricy but I thought worth it and will definitely go back. A great date spot, not far from Central Park. Make sure to check out the room in the back too.
Great addition to the neighborhood – This has quickly become my favorite sushi place in the neighborhood. The atmosphere is nice, service is extremely attentive and the sushi is quite good. Some of the non-sushi entrees are a bit expensive and nothing special but if you're looking for a nice evening out for some sushi, this is a good place to go. Kudos for the service. Very good addition to the neighborhood.
Interesting, and attentive service – Walked in for an afternoon drink and snack. Very attentive service. We had ceviche and fried calamari, which are both quite good. Drinks menu is sufficient, and it's a nice place to chill in the neighborhood. Though, Asian fushion food often are not as good as authentic sushi or Chinese dishes. Worth a try.
Editorial Review – Pan-Asian entrees and sushi bar serving specialty rolls, sashimi and more on the Upper East side. Full bar, delivery available.
