About this business

This Upper East Side sushi bar is not one of those places where pseudo or watered down versions of sushi make their way to your plate. You get to eat the real stuff here. The sign displayed at the entrance says "today's special, trust me". And you will more than trust the chef for the delectable fresh seafood. The Omakase menu changes daily but has some regular favorites. The decor is minimalist, almost non-existent except for some bamboo that serves as the only adornment. Sasabune is the place to be for authentic sushi.

Best sushi I have ever had anywhere – The combination of incredibly fresh sushi, warm rice and the occasional of some subtle sauces and flavors makes for wonderful dining. It's all omakase (chef's choice) although they'll customize the offerings to avoid or include certain favorites on request. The decor is not special and unimportant. Go for the food.

My favorite place! – The fish here is so fresh and the quality of the preparation is really wonderful. The place is very small and sometimes the service is not very prompt, but they certainly make up for it with friendliness. The staff seems genuinely enthusiastic about the food they are serving.

Why Y's?? – Because Y's is AMAZING. The seafood is incredibly fresh. The service is excellent. The atmosphere is serene and pleasant. Both the sushi chef and head chef demonstrate their artistic skill and food preparation prowess in each and every dish. We are regulars, and over and over again the fare is consistent, innovative, and delicious. The quality of your meal will equal its price. Choose to eat here and you will never be disappointed.

Great Sushi; Great Price – Great Sushi for a great price- The Sushi deluxe includes fish that you don't typically find in platters. All dishes are fresh and well presented. Appetizers are creativity assembled. The maki is delicious because of the abundant amount of toasted black sesame. Desserts are great- Green Tea ice cream actually tastes like green tea. Staff is courteous and attentive. Overall a great dining experience. We are becoming regulars!

So fresh – My friends and I enjoyed an amazing dinner here the other night. The fish was the freshest I have had in a long time. We had no idea such a gem was in the neighborhood.

OSHII!!!! – The food is excellent, great quality and quantity. The service is very friendly but a bit slow. However, they make up for it in complimentary sake and appetizers. A must eat at restaurant if you like Yasuda and Sushi Den.

Good find of a small sushi place. – Hiden on the side of first avenue at 73rd St, this small delightful Japanese restaurant is a surprise find! We visited at least ten times from New Jersey and value is consistently there. Run by an owner of a major fish wholesaler, this place has all the fresh ingridients needed, including "toro", fatty tuna often hard to find in a smaller restaurant. Good friendly atomosphere and cozy ambiance makes it such a delight to be. The food and presentation is well balanced with the price. The res... read more
