Frolla Cafè New York Reviews
First time here . Nice and cozy . Our table was ready because we had a reservation . The server was friendly and quick with taking our orders . Drinks and appetisers came quick and so did our mains . Everything was flowing quickly and smoothly . Food quality was pretty good especially the rock shrimp. The sushi platter was nice with variety and the drinks were nice as well . Overall we had a great dinner experience . 👍
Really enjoyed our experience. The restaurant is quiet and there were 5 sushi chefs so the service was quick. Nice variety and very high quality. Reasonably priced compared to the very high end sushi establishments in NYC. They also have entrees as well.

The restaurant itself is spotless, with a clean and inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious sushi and great service! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ fyi:I ordered the crispy rice twice because its so good!!
My friend lives in the area and recommend this place for sushi. The sushi rolls were good and the fish was fresh and fatty. My favorite was the fantastic roll.
That crispy rice with spicy tuna on top was amazing. The environment gives me a super chill Vibe. Whereas I naturally feel hyped to try everything here out. The sushi rolls are made really nicely I couldn’t hold myself to take a picture. Overall the staff here are all really nice, the foods super tasty, and the design of the restaurant is so comfortable.
Love this local sushi spot! I’ve been about ten times now, and every dish has been consistently delicious—from the miso soup to the nori tacos and sushi rolls. The staff is super friendly, the vibe is trendy, and the food never misses. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend the sushi & sashimi combo, the fish here is exceptionally fresh and flavorful. The servers are super friendly and efficient, making the whole meal time relaxing. I’ll definitely be coming back!
We stopped by for a quick bite at the bar and enjoyed the atmosphere! Can't wait to come back once for a proper dinner!
Stumbled across this place as our other go to sushi restaurant was closed. But I could easily say, this will be my new favorite go to sushi restaurant. From the food to the atmosphere to the friendly service I give this place a 11/10 if I could. The sushi / sashimi was extremely fresh and tasty. My personal favorite was the toro. Even a basic dish that most restaurants have is rock shrimp tempura and that was the best rock shrimp tempura I had as it was not heavily drenched in sauce and had a crispyness to it. The service was excellent, friendly, and attentive so my glass was always filled with water.
Great addition to the neighborhood! Sushi and drinks are very good and the staff is extremely friendly, sincere and accommodating. Service is a bit slow but I’m sure it will only improve with time. We will be back
Best sushi place in the area. Amazing food, extremely friendly staff, very enjoyable atmosphere. I highly recommend the shrimp dumplings, the buns, the Kani salad. the summer roll.
I’ve tried a lot different sushi restaurants in NYC,the fish here is definitely fresh,people are nice too,very friendly,no doubt I will come back again and again.
Came in hungry, left happy. Food was really good and fresh. What made this experience better is the quick service and very welcoming. They assisted me with the selection and didn’t fail at all.
Absolutely amazing food! Fabulous cocktails and great wine list. Service was great. Our daughter lives nearby and took us here and we were incredibly impressed! Everything we ordered was outstanding! Very highly recommend!!!!
Stopped by for lunch. Slightly more than I usually budget for lunch, but well worth it. The sushi was fresh and delicious and the miso soup was the best Ive had in the city so far. The service was great and the atmosphere is lovely and welcoming!

Awesome new spot! Busy for a Tuesday evening and the hostess was able to sit us at the sushi counter within 15 min, without having a reservation. Tom the owner was really nice and gave us free sake at the end of the meal! Compliments to the chef also, the food was great - got the yellowtail jalapeño appetizer, pork gyoza, “fantastic roll”, some extra sushi pieces and a crab nori roll. All the fish was so fresh, definitely will be back!
Very good sushi spot, plus a lot of other great dishes. Went 30 minutes before closed food was phenomenal. Been multiple times always great. Beef negamaki, hibachi fried rice, real miso. Really nice and cozy.
Lovely Sushi restaurant! Spacious seating. Enjoyed Sushi and other dishes. Fast service. Helpful staff. Definitely worth a visit. Good neighborhood Japanese restaurant. Busy and loud.

Ooof this was one of the toughest dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Everyone from the hostess to the waitress was chaotic and had the worst energy despite us being as kind and patient as possible. The food overall lacked flavor and was overpriced for a neighborhood with so many sushi spots. We went here because it looked pretty, and wanted a nicer dining experience but it seemed clear you were paying more for the aesthetic of the place and not the quality of the food. The waitress kept coming over asking for the order despite us having just sat down and when I said I needed just one more minute, she physically waved her hand like “ugh” and walked away. I’m not sure if I read that wrong but we were all kind of surprised at the response to needed just another minute. Also - One of us didn’t receive the correct order (Which isn’t a huge deal, it happens) so when they went to fix it(it was only 1 roll) it took so long everyone else had finished. The restaurant didn’t make it right in any way other than apologize but they still had her pay for it despite it being almost 40 minute late. It seemed clear the waitress just didn’t want to tell anyone of the mistake so she wasn’t going to take it off the bill. Overall it was wildly overpriced and a terrible experience. Super bummed since it looked like it would be a nice place to go to frequently.
Such a pity as it’s my neighborhood local Sushi spot but it just doesn’t hit the mark. I have eaten in and I have taken out. Small portions and prices online are incorrect to what they charge when you go to pick it up!! Wouldn’t recommend! I would rather walk the extra few blocks to get better sushi!!
I don’t usually write reviews, but my boyfriend and I went to this restaurant on weekends and we were very disappointed. The service was very fast, and the place is nice , but we are sushi taste and we were very disappointed when our $ 4.5ea sashimi salmon came frozen. For that price, something like that should never happen. We ordered 4 of them and when the bill came, only the two that we had sent back were taken off the bill so we had to tell our waiter that we didn’t want to pay for the two that were frozen. Keep in mind that it is a pretty expensive restaurant and that is not acceptable to serve that quality of food for that pice. I do NOT recommand .

A tip has to be earned. If you serve with a bad attitude, what do you expect? That I leave you 20% or 30%? The receptionist had a bad attitude, and so did the waitress. She never came to ask if everything was okay. When it was time to pay, she just stared at the card reader and questioned the percentage we left for poor service—and literally for just 15 minutes. Learn to earn the tip if that’s what you’re working for. You’re in the wrong country if you think you’ll get it with a bad attitude.
