Chill place to eat. Prices can be high depending on what you get. Taste is pretty good. If you forget to tip they will most definitely remind you...

Lunch special is great. Fast and efficient and friendly. The miso soup is a lil bland.

average new York sushi, okay price but there's better

I believe there’re more better sushi places than this. The rice is separated from sashimi, which is different from what’s shown on the menu. The sushi is more Americanized, so it might not be your type if you’re looking for a more classic Japanese sushi restaurant.

Didn't expect such a tiny sushi roll for $12 (pick-up order). And the rice was too hard.

Ordered take out. Was not fresh at all. Tempura was greasy.

Came here for dinner with friends. Expensive, and small portions for very mediocre sushi, rice was a bit hard. Unfortunately, not worth the visit.

“On Friday, July 21st, 2023, I had a frightening experience with blatant racism at JR Sushi in Manhattan. After leaving one of my accounts following a presentation, I arrived at the restaurant around 9:30 pm feeling hungry. JR Sushi appeared uncrowded and open, so I decided to dine there. Upon entering, no one approached me to seat me, so I assumed it was a casual seat-yourself place. I approached the man at the bar/counter area to ask for a table, but he rudely handed me a menu and seemed uninterested. I insisted on a table, but he dismissively shooed me away. Despite this, I decided to seat myself and proceeded to order a glass of wine and vegetable soup. As the same man came to take my order, he condescendingly questioned if that was all I wanted. I remained polite, stating I might order more later. This uncomfortable situation made me feel like I needed to prove myself, assuming they might be stereotyping me as a Black person. Later, a White couple entered the restaurant, and the employees rushed to greet and seat them, but I didn’t receive the same treatment. When my small soup arrived, I realized I needed more food and politely asked for the menu. The man snatched my wine and soup, telling me to ‘GET OUT.’ I was confused, embarrassed, and hurt. I recorded the incident, giving him a chance to rectify the situation, but he continued telling me to leave. Other customers also witnessed his rudeness. As a Black person in America, I know the importance of raising awareness about mistreatment. I’ll report this incident to the neighborhood committee board and inform the surrounding businesses. Such behavior shouldn’t be tolerated, and I won’t patronize JR Sushi again. This hurtful and offensive experience should never happen to anyone. -DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS RESTAURANT-JR. SUSHI!!!”

The restaurant appeared unclean ( dust on surfaces and equipment). I took a chance and ordered a garden salad, miso soup, and yogurt lychee drink. The salad was iceberg lettuce that were packed in a plate with 2 cherrie tomatoes and what appeared to be dried out carrot (spirals). As I ate the salad, I had to use my hand as it was not chopped up. I also noticed what appeared to be an insect after eating the top portion. I was grossed and proceeded to start feeling ill. This location is not sanitary and should be closed for in depth cleaning. I do not recommend anyone from eating here and plan on reporting as this is a health hazard. Outside of the restaurant says “A”. I am unsure when was the last rating. I really hate wasting money on food. I have to throw it away. I plan to take it to the restaurant to ask for my money back and if that doesn’t work. I’ll dispute with my bank. But def reporting to health department.

Have been one time before. The first time, lobster sushi was *not* worth $25 for a daily special roll (it was a once in a blue moon mini-splurge.) Lobster was flavorless, and chewy. I'm guessing it was frozen and is defrosted in individual roll-size portions. Shrimp tempura roll was decent, but a little high as well, since it is on the "lower tier" roll list ($7.95 instead of the usual $5.95 or $6.95 at other places.) Other items on menu were normally priced - $5.95 and $6.95 for common rolls, and $7.95 to $12.95 for more elaborate rolls on the regular menu. Special rolls seem to be collectively overpriced a bit. Lobster roll, shrimp tempura roll, and a soda ended up being $42, after tax and tip. I could have had a nice sit-down meal with table service for that, instead of 2 regular size sushi rolls. . Move forward 2 months, and I was down in the area again. This time, I didn't get to order. Manager refused access for a well-identified service animal (well-marked vest, registration card, tag on collar, etc) a few steps inside the restaurant, to the spot inside where you have to go to place the order. Disgraceful. Ordering was inside and eating outside, with no table service outside, but he insisted the dog be left outside for me to order inside for eating at an outside table with no table service. The manager could have at least agreed to come outside and take the order (inside is extremely small - 2 tables on the left and a couple of bar stools on the right, with the cash register/order spot directly inside on the left.) Manager was belligerent and dismissive. Will not be back. Reported incident to 311. No one should be treated like that.
