One of my favorite spots in the city! The sushi pizza is an underrated gem and in my opinion, one of the best things on their menu. The cooked spicy tuna, mozzarella, and Indian pancake topped with various sauces make a heavenly combination… That being said, the crispy rice volcano will always be a staple though. Food and service are amazing, will definitely be coming back soon!

I ate here two days in a row while I was working in the area. The lunch specials were really good—fresh and affordable. I had sushi one day, the next I had thai coconut curry, and both hit the spot. It’s a chill little spot, perfect for a quick break

We eat Sushis and noodles. It was delicious and also very affordable considering the new york prices. Service was nice. I recommend you to reserve because the inside tables are limited.

We went with my friends to eat sushi. The place is very nice, I like the decoration, they have tables inside and outside. We ordered sushi: Golden Dragon and Manhattan tempura roll. They were delicious!

My girlfriend and I took some sushi to the park for a picnic. She kept commenting how delicious the fish was. It travels well, it’s not too much rice and the ratio fish to rice leans towards protein. A huge fan and would def recc! I get their takeout often and the quality is always high! Delivery is always quick too.

It was amazing, the food was delicious and the place was casual and homey. There are all types of Asian cuisine, and it's all really good. The staff there are kind and awesome, and the dessert is yummy. I recommend trying the Salmon Lover Fans sashimi platter. It was so delicious. Highly recommend going here!

Updated January 2021: Been coming here weekly for the last 3 years now! No better place to be honest One of the best sushi lunches I have had in a while. Very fresh sushi served with a delicious miso soup and ginger salad. Very fairly priced for 3 rolls at 14.95...I will definitely be back soon

We ordered a series of nigiri and the scallion pancake. Everything was delicious especially for the price. It seemed very much like a local favorite. Me and my partner always sit at the service bar wherever we go and that’s the reason why I’m writing this review. The bartender gave us some of the best service we got in city. Doesn’t linger too long if you want to be left alone but if you want some good conversation or recommendations he’s there for you and can guide you on what to order based on seasonality. We were out of towners and also got incredible advice on where to go next. 10/10 service.

Amber is beautifully appointed in a black and brown color scheme rendered in wood, brick, stones and shells. The sushi-centric menu features other Asian cuisines. The basil fried rice for brunch ($17 plus tax) was mildly spicy and included salad, a side (my choice was the vegetable dumplings), and a drink. The shrimp tempura roll ($8.75) was quite good. The only negative critique for the meal was that the suggested tip amount was computed after tax.

Been going here for years. There’s a good sushi deal for dinner and it’s always good enough. Nothing amazing but not bad at all. I’ll keep going back.

First time trying this place during early dinner. Place not crowded coz not dinner time yet. Friendly staff and very attentive. Sushi was good for quick bites. Ordered crispy calamari and found something on one of the calamari piece. Investigated the piece and found a strand of wire (assumed it from the wire brush) on the batter. Glad I did what I did before eating the piece. Told the staff and they didn't charge us that order plus 20% off our tab. Hmm, not sure if I want to go back there tho.

Placed a 50$ order for sushi & forgot to add spicy mayo. I returned to the store to purchase however; the minimum to purchase is 10$. Spicy mayo is $2 bucks and the male hosts couldn’t make an exception, despite me being a LOYAL CUSTOMER and previously placing an order. Considering that I’m a picky eater and can’t eat my sushi without it, I decided to just throw it all out. —a waste of my money. This store offers cheap service & they lost out on a good customer. 0 stars if I could!
