Can't live without it – Bottom line, East is a staple of my diet. I used to live on 25th & 1st, so it made sense to go quite often, but now I live in Queens & still go--that tells you how great it is. You can either have sushi conveyor style downstairs or eat in style upstairs. Private tables, quiet, but not too quiet. It's great for a first date--amazing food for really great prices!

Fresh & diverse if you're there in primetime. – I live nearby and have been at least 50 times in the last two years. Consistently excellent, fresh fish at a great price, but you've got to go when they're good and busy or otherwise selection and freshness quickly deteriorate. The price to pay; Japanese restaurants are always strict about timings anyway, and I can accept that for such great stuff.

this is a fun place to go with your family or friends. if you're the type of person that needs to try all the flavors in an assorted chocolate box, you'll love to dine by the conveyor belt because you can try all the variety of sushi and rolls.

Conveyor belt sushi--such a novelty. I thought it was really cute. There is a pretty high turnover so the sushi was pretty fresh. They probably make them purposely small so you can eat more. Prices are pretty reasonably. I think they have the cheapest take out sushi in nyc. Also, you can sign up for an annual membership where u get 10% off. Service isn't that great though. It took them a long time to take our order and refill our water.

Recommended! – We opted to be seated upstairs because the downstairs looked crowded, and although it seemed like there were many people upstairs, seating was still very prompt. Very good atmosphere with lighting and personal rooms for tables. My boyfriend and I were seated at individual tables with another couple in the same room - so don't expect anything too personal! Food was DELICIOUS - we didn't have a conveyer belt from downstairs, but the menu is separated into sections and is very clear with pictures and good pricing... read more

Not fresh.. – Sure if you never had sushi before this might be a place you want to check out. There is a conveyer belt that goes around near your table and if you like what you see you take the plate off the belt. The problem with this is that if no one picks up the a dish it just keeps going around the room till someone does pick it up, therefore the fish I ate here wasn't fresh looked dry even. If you wanna check out the cool conveyer belt going around the room I suggest you go to their window and take a look from the outs... read more

Good sushi, great deal – If you love sushi, this is one of the best deals in Manhattan. The food is exceptional for the price. I had a wonderful meal with a friend for only $18.00 including tip. (hint: monday night is tuna night-- they have $1.00 tuna roll specials!)
