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.

Brown Rice Sushi – So my girlfriend came home from dinner one night with her friend and told me we had to have dinner at Japonica. So I went with one thing in mind - brown rice sushi. I was pleasantly surprised. We are avid sushi eaters and brown rice is definitely a healthier alternative to white. The fish was very fresh and the pieces were a very nice size. The owner/manager was super friendly and the waiters were very attentive. I would highly recommend this restaurant although it is a little pricey. Rolls are about $10. ... read more
Pretty Feeble – This place might have cut it when there were no other sushi places around. It feels like 80s sushi- old! Way to overpriced for tiny, slimy rolls and completely lacking any kind of creativity. I understand there is such a thing as traditional sushi, but this is just boring and stale.
japonica is great. – food/value: portions are large. fish is very fresh and well-cut. the menu is extensive. dishes other than sushi are varied and well-prepared. beautiful soup. service: swift, friendly, and accomodating. they went out of their way to bring extras, including complementary treats. we once had a wonderful birthday celebration there. i hope to one day be known as a regular here. ambience: the tatami room is pleasant and quiet--perfect for an intimate gathering. the rest of the restaurant feels cozy and friendl... read more
Yummylicious – Very generous portions - the largest pieces of sushi I've ever seen. The beef terriyaki is another favorite of mine here. Good for the money. I've eaten here quite a number of times - what I don't get is why the place is never crowded.

The biggest sushi pieces ever! – Love this place! The pieces of sushi are tremendous and so fresh tasting! It is worth what you pay here because again, the pieces are so big! I have never seen any place serve bigger pieces of sushi! Atmosphere is causal, nothing too zen like. There is usually a wait but they get their patrons in and out pretty quick. Last time I went here, my husband and I had a quick sushi and cold sake lunch, then went for a massage! Awesome saturday afternoon!!
Japonica - Nice! – This place had both a nice ambiance and good food. the service was excellent - but in all honesty I did go on a sunday night so it was less crowded. The fish was very fresh though and I thought they were making an effort to give you a meal worth the price they were charging. Unlike Nobu's small pieces for 33% more $$, Japonica is worth the cost ...
Ehhhh... so-so – It's really hard to find good sushi, and just because you throw money at it, doesn't mean that you'll get what you paid for. Japonica is just that. I went, threw lots and lots of money on average food that I could've eaten anywhere else for way less. Plus, everything comes in small to average portions, so the next time you get a sushi craving, I don't recommend that you go here.
Good Sushi, but expensive – Japonica is a quite place to eat delicious, jumbo-sized sushi. The dinner usually costs you around $35 - $50 per person. It is pricey, but the service and the qulity of food is consistent.
