Perhaps one of New York's most unique & exciting sushi experiences. For veterans, lovers, and those who are new to the art , this is a must do and the Omakase special is a great place to start!
Quality of sushi is outstanding- would rank Gari at the top of the places in Manhattan. There are no bargains here. Get salmon sushi with roasted tomato and spicy scallop hand roll .
Like it’s sister restaurants , they’re serving some of the freshest and tastiest Sushi in all of Manhattan – it’s like you’re in Tokyo. Splurge on the chef’s omakase .
They do vegetarian omakase upon request! Get the omakase at the bar . 14 veggie pieces for ~$50 or 14 seafood pieces for ~$90. Friendly service and the best sushi I've had make it worth every cent.
Only come here if you can budget about $100 for omakase . You will not be disappointed. My favorite was the double uni - one from Japan, one from Cali, stacked on top of one another. Supreme.
Freshness is the name of the game when it comes to sushi . The lobster tempura was outstanding, and for those who aren’t fish-lovers, the breast of duckling was extremely tender and perfectly flavored.
Would eat here every day if I could! The fish is extremely fresh and you can taste the difference. cute/cozy atmosphere too. Hajiki seaweed salad is great.
The tuna here is really good and overall the fish are all fresh. However, I go mainly for the tuna . This location is the best imo of all the Gari restaurants in NYC.
It's very good but IF you're going to do the omakase go to the East Side location. Much more wow factor there. At this location - just order off the menu .
Sensational! The. Best. Sushi . Ever. And do not fail to try an utterly amazing seaweed salad either. End your meal here with mochi and smile all the way home.
Salmon Tomato sushi is a must... and if you really want to splurge, it's worth getting the omakase ... an unforgettable experience!
Get the omakase . But also ask them to surprise you if your still hungry. Easily one of the most inventive sushi houses in NYC.
Best sushi in the upper west side, hands down. Great selection of sake - expect to pay for it though.
Delicious, Cousy, service is excellent. They will charge your phone if needed.
If you couldn't manage to snag a seat at the sushi bar , the sushi deluxe does the trick.
Tender and tasty sushi niigiri await you at this energetic, yet overpriced, neighborhood favorite. Bring your appetite and a credit card. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Best salmon skin roll in the city . Super crunchy. Yum. Gari's sushi are creative and yummy too.
Highly recommend: chapped eel with avocado and salmon with hot tomato !!
Omakase ! Omakase ! Omakase ! It is so scrumptious!!! If you come here you have to try Omakase !
must order: fried oysters , salmon with hot tomato , squid , yellowtail and they have a pretty good rose .
Try the chef 's tasting menu ... it's amazing.
Freshness is amazing but $150 for a 12, single piece, omakase is just crazy.
Free hot green tea after your meal to help the digestion. Water refilled are free and unlimited.
The omakase tasting menu sushi and shashimi is a must. My first time here surely won't be the last.....
Salmon skin , squid/shiso, spicy tuna all delish!
The omakase is very pricy but more than worth it. By far my best sushi experience outside Japan.
"Fusion" omakase meant one piece of sushi had a warm tomato topping. Good pieces didn't make up for the bad ones IMO.
Amazing sushi . Pricey but worth it!
Amazing! Order the omakase ! No questions asked!
Sit at the sushi bar , by yourself. Order a bottle of nigori. Get the omakase .
i liked all the gari style sushi except the tomato/salmon
The wait staff are literally depressed if you sit at the sushi bar and try to ask for anything other than sushi . Don't make them sad, it's DEF worth it to just go with whatever they recommend.
One word: omakase ! it's divine
The seabass here was one of the best dishes we have ever had! Delicious!
The omakasse is to die for!
Salmon with tomato , sweet tuna with pinenut and spicy scallop handroll are my faves!
Faves: salmon tomato , snapper with salad , tuna with tofu sauce and spicy scallop roll
Don't be fooled by the disposable chopsticks and paper napkins. This is good stuff.
Omakase is a must????????
Sushi is outstanding !!! It's insatiable, can't get enough.
Read in a guidebook it was top 5 sushi in nyc, the book wasn't lying! Some of the best sushi I have ever had!!!
Save yourself time. Just sit at the bar and tell them when to stop.
I haven't had ordered anything bad from Gari so come try it out
Go to the bathroom . You're welcome.
Best sushi . Try the spicy tuna roll . Wow!
Omakase is an incredible experience.
The salmon pieces with tomatoe on top is original and a must have!!
Try the @gari - Spanish Mackerel with mushroom
ive been here over 200 times... salmon tomato is still the best piece
The best sushi in my life.

The tofu chop is delicious! And the crispy rice maki is my all-time fave. - Leigh Sansone
