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.

Average – Being and east indian I love sea food, and that keeps me searching for new sea food spots, I was recommended by a friend to try this place and I did. The sushi was nice and the servings are BIG...but the quality however wasn't all that, may be it was just a bad day. This place has large portions so even if the prices are high, one can actually share an entree with one more person, so it doesnt really pinch, but the taste could've been better.
Focused on quantity rather than quality.. – The fish portions are very large, but the quality of the fish is definately not the one somebody would expect for that price range. A great place if you are HUNGRY and you want sushi. However, if you are looking for high quality sushi, better try something else..
Good sushi. – I don't like the ambience at all. The sushi, however, is quite good. Their entrees aren't so bad either. But honestly though, every single item on their menu is overpriced. You can get the same quality food elsewhere for half the price. At least the service was good and attentive.
Good sushi/service - ok ambience – Good restaraunt. The sushi is quite good. The waiter was friendly and pleasant. Will go again.
Average sushi with good service – We dined here tonight and the sushi was average...probably will not return...the service was excellent
Excellent Food and Impeccable Service – There are a lot of good sushi places in NYC, but something about Japonica's highest quality food, impeccable service, and warm and inviting interior that makes it a special trip even for a neighborhood haunt. Its my favorite sushi in NYC and I love their cooked food, too. The hardest part is deciding whether to get a warm entree or sushi (I usually get something of both!)
A casual sushi spot a stone's throw from NYU. – In Short With its soft lighting, intimate banquettes and low noise level, it's no wonder this casual spot is so beloved by NYU students and professionals for lunch and dinner. On the extensive Japanese menu, servers steer guests to lesser-known specialties such as the teriyaki yellowtail cheek, tuna tataki and buri (young yellowtail sushi). Diners traveling in groups have the option to sit at the restaurant's one traditional low table.
Oishi – Excellent seasonal fish. Omakase included some imported fish from Japan. Knowlegable Japanese staff. Very Japanese.
Super Sushi – While this restaurant is slightly pricey for what you get, the sushi is superb. The atmosphere is pleasant except for when the restaurant is overly crowded and therefore noisy on weekend nights. Service however, always remains top-notch.
