Sushi Jin

Thanks for another wonderful visit! My dad enjoyed talking to Satoshi and asking tons of questions about the preparation of the sushi and the process of selecting fish. Thanks for having patience with his numerous questions, he loved the experience and the sushi! I will definitely return and my dad plans to return the next time he visits NYC.

I was looking for an under $200 Omakase place for my visit to NYC with my brother and we decided to go to Sushi Jin.

The restaurant is a cute tiny place with only around 10-12 sushi bar seats and a couple of tables. The service is great, very intimate and personal service without any long wait times.

This food was amazing. One of the best meals, not just Omakase, I've had in NYC. Everything was super fresh and delicious. And it is not just the fish nigiri that was delicious, the oyster and scallops were some of the best I've eaten. I've been to places like NOZ and Nakazawa in NYC and I thought this was better than both.

My only negative comment would be about the pacing of the dishes, I think they could have waited just a little bit more between dishes, it was a little too quick for me but it wasn't a big deal.

At the $145 price point this place is a damn steal, and well worth the trip to the UES if you want an amazing omakase experience

Sushi Jin has always exceeded expectations and I hope they will stay in the neighborhood. We heard that the lease is up in February 2024, and they will no longer be there. We are praying they will continue to stay in the upper east side! Please go and support this excellent omakase restaurant !

Surprisingly best quality sushi I've had in a long time. They were very sweet. Loved every bit of my experience here. Well worth it

Me and my mom went here and it's really nice! The waitress was great to us, Ambiance was nice and peaceful, and the Food was very good! Sushi Jin deserves 5 stars since their sushi's are awesome! Give it a try sometime!

Sushi Jin is a cosy omakase gem in UES. There's limited seats with 12-14 seats at the bar and a small side table that probably fits 4 people, so call them in advance to make a reservation. I went with a group of friends and the overall experience was remarkable. I made a reservation 2 days in advance and was seated relatively promptly. I also asked if I can book the entire place for a larger group of people, and I was told that is possible but at a later seating of 8/8.30pm, which I think is not bad.

Food was great: everything was fresh and there were so many pieces I lost count. We had 3 different nigiris with uni, which I think is a lot more generous than other omakase places. However, the unis were from Maine and not Hokkaido (IMHO the gold standard for uni) because it was a public holiday in Japan. Nevertheless, I loved every piece served that night and we also added seared wagyu A5 beef and fried baby crabs which were delicious.

I would definitely return to Sushi Jin.

Went for dinner on 4/30 for 7pm, we arrived on time and to our surprise there was no wait, usually even with a reservation you have to wait. As usual we sat at the bar and watch chef execute his omakase menu $145 per person, right before us. My wife and I make it a point to only have Sushi here as anything else would be a total disappointment.
The food and the experience was totally amazing we order a bottle of Pinot Grio, to pair it with dinner.

This place is basically undiscovered greatness. While the $145 obligatory omakase might seem a bit punchy, one hardly looks for a bargain when dealing with the Picasso of Sushi. The range of tastes and textures was a tour de force for the senses. Only way to do this is at the sushi bar where you can watch the master and apprentice at work. They answered questions, taught us new things, and left a strong impression of pure perfection of the craft. Bravo.

Tonight was our third time visiting sushi Jin, and I hope that tells you what you need to know. This is an incredible quality for the price for omakase in the city, and every time is excellent. In the past we got add ons like uni from Maine () and today topped everything off with sujiko (fresh salmon roe). I think our favorite tonight was the chutoro (medium fatty tuna) or the scallop.

Today's excuse was a birthday celebration, but it doesn't take much of an excuse to come by sushi Jin.

Came here with a few friends after hearing good things from several friends and is definitely worth checking out. Made reservations via phone about a month in advance, but definitely would have been more convenient if it was on resy/tock in my opinion (easy to cancel and confirm).

Enjoyed having all the appetizers, nigiri, and dessert at the end. Good variety of fish for sure, quality and freshness were there. Gave two types of uni which were both good. Great value - only $125 for a substantial meal.

We sat at the short end of the table, so there was less interaction with the chef and we didn't get to watch them make nigiri in front of us, but we didn't really mind since we were on our own having our own conversations.

This place seems to have regulars, who the chefs know personally - definitely makes the experience a lot better.

One thing that disappointed me was the rice. For some of the pieces, the rice started to fall apart when I picked it up.
