About this business
This neighborhood sushi spot has been around since 1978 and through those years, it has seen many spots come and go, especially with the constant onslaught of NYU land-grabs. Nonetheless, it remains in the Village for a reason. The menu has all the usual rolls, sashimi and other teriyaki options; two other reasons for its longevity include moderate prices and convenience to Union Square.

over price, not trendy – the food is overprice for what it is, suishi wasn't even fresh, rude waiter staff, drop check before i was finish. not recommended, save money.
Over priced and very average food. – I just don't get why this place seems to be well regarded ? Overpriced food is the order of the day. $ 3.75 for a miso soup ? $14 for a shrimp shumai appetise ? If the food was spectacular then maybe but it is not. There are a plethora of good well priced Japanese restuarants in this city that leave this place for dead. Put simply the sashimi was not fresh, the shumai the same (told the waiter this and we were still charged for it) and the service ordinary. My advice spend half the money ... read more
GOOD SUSHI NICE SETTING – The sushi is very good, in a nice area, the setting is very serene and low key, they give u a hot towel when u come in. Very expensive, well not the sushi but the dinner items, I believe.
can it be anymore overpriced? – someone please explain to me why this resturant is so expensive? decor was poor, seating was uncomfortable, food was ok, expected better for that price. save your money.
overprice suishi, poor service, not recommended. – My girlfriend and I spent over $100 still was not good enough to be treated nicely. They can wait to drop your check and get you out. Worst ever experience. Food wasn't fresh, over crowded, unfriendly staff.
Very disappointing – Japonica used to be one of my favorite sushi places in the Union Square area. Went there last Saturday night for an early dinner with my husband before the movies and was EXTREMELY disappointed. Prices seem to have been jacked up considerably since last year and the sushi was not the freshest. A spicy tuna roll was inedible and we were afraid we would actually get sick. Presentation and quality was on par with (or worse than) supermarket sushi. No interesting specials and very confused/rushed service. It... read more
Why is this place recommended? – For the price they charge for the food they serve, I would have expected: - FAR better preparation. The sashimi was far too large. - FAR better service. Slow, unclear, disinterested. No info on specials or any decent engagement upon questioning. - More rice. In fact, just give us a bowl regardless. When I order sushi, the amount of rice should be more than silver dollar size. Overall, totally nonplussed. Service was lame, presentation was boring and confusing. The prices, relative to what you... read more
Overpriced for average sushi and pseudo-japanese food – Sushi was just very average - much better can be had at comparable prices elsewhere. The chicken teriyaki and the eel rice dishes were huge - the largest I have ever seen for a 'japanese' restaurant. Unfortunately, the teriyaki chicken tasted like some generic chicken stir fry that happened to be in teriyaki sauce - hey, let's add teriyaki sauce and then it will be japanese!! The eel, well, there was a lot of it and you can't really mess up eel. Neither dish came with c... read more
avoid, not worth it, overprice. – seating was quick. i consider this place overprice for what it is, am not sure y they charge so much, udon should not be over $20, at most $16.99. Service was ok, needs improvement. seating very tight, not comfortable at all.
