    I’m forever grateful that Gu Japanese was able to accommodate this year’s holiday dinner for more than 30 of my colleagues. The service, prix-fixe menu, and food was amazing - my colleagues had nothing but great things to say the entire night. We also loved the atmosphere and privacy we were given. Easily a 10/10. Thanks so much again and happy holidays!

    Random but good. Sushi, bao and crispy appetizers with great drinks is all that is required for a night out in the city. And the prices were affordable, making it worth the time. Portions are generous, so be careful about ordering too much. Would definitely recommend for a feel of what’s available in the city

  • Review 3 (2024-03-27 - Rating: 5)

    I was having such a great time here that I forgot to take pictures. They have happy hours from 3pm-10pm, I believe every day. Beers for $4.5. Cocktails for $7. Appetizers were delish. Especially the fried rice one. We also order sushi and sashimi.

  • Review 4 (2021-09-06 - Rating: 4)

    Pretty good option for cheap sushi in New York. They have really good drink deals until 10pm too which is great (beers are $4 and cocktails are half off). I thought that the tempura and toro were good, but did not really like the rolls I tried. The fish itself was good but pieces were small. Also I would not recommend the yellowtail jalapeño. Most of the rolls were about $5-$8. The service was excellent and they refilled our water cups/got us new drinks very quickly, so my compliments to the staff. Overall a good option for sushi!

    A good selection of delicious and fresh sushi. Large Asian menu at normal prices.A decent bar list including good and inexpensive sake.

  • Review 6 (2020-02-10 - Rating: 5)

    First came here on a Saturday for a birthday lunch. My friend had to go into the office nearby on a Saturday. She wanted Japanese, I searched online and found this restaurant, it was close to her office and had a reservation available for 1PM on a Saturday.The food was so good that I devour some of them before remembering to take pictures. So of course I had to go back again a few days later with another friend to try more of the menu.So far my absolute favorite is the fried soft shell crab. It was lightly battered and super crunchy, best of all the fried soft shell crabs I’ve had so far. Highly recommend this dish if you like seafood. The second time I went to this restaurant, I made my friend place a separate order because I didn’t want to share any of the 3 pieces that came with my order.The Peking Duck buns were delicious as well. There weren’t a lot of fatty duck skin, which I liked. Perfect amount of sauce so you can still taste the rest of the flavors. Definitely one of the better versions I’ve tried.Dinner Bento boxes came with rice and miso soup, a choice of salads (we opted for the seaweed). Just a note, the first time I went to this restaurant at 1PM, my friend wanted something from the dinner bento box menu and it turned out they have those bento boxes available for lunch as well.I’ve also tried the Alaskan bass from the appetizer menu and the Chilean sea bass from the entrees between my two visits here. Both were good, but I liked the Chilean sea bass a little better, it seems more tender and of course came in a bigger portion than the appetizer. Salmon poke bowl with salad instead of rice was my attempt at a diet. It was fresh and light enough that I had plenty of room for other dishes. Chicken yakitori had a nice charred flavor to it. I could probably eat a whole order by myself, but decided to share with my friend so she could try it too.Every drink I’ve tried had been great so far. I’ve had the watermelon mojito and lychee-tini, my friend tried the blood orange margarita and said it was also good. Watermelon mojito tops my favorite drink list this year. I asked for it to be lightened so it’s not too sweet, the perfect option for the summer.Service was quick and unobtrusive. Empty dishes were promptly whisked away and empty drink glasses quickly replaced with new drinks.Prices are good for midtown. Happy hour menu is from 3PM to 10PM!!! Great news if you have to work late and miss out on most of the happy hour menus in midtown by the time you leave work. The drinks on the right side of the attached picture that are not part of the happy hour menu are very reasonably priced as well. I’m already making plans to come back next week, this is going to be my new favorite restaurant for the summer.

    Really nice place where you can eat good food and have a sweet service. Price/quality is really nice.

  • Review 8 (2021-09-02 - Rating: 5)

    The best part of dinner could’ve easily been the $5 glass of wine or the amazingly reasonable and tasting dinner, but it was the service and atmosphere. I would likely return because of the others, but the people here will definitely being me back. I got the dinner bento box with the white fish and paid extra for an upgraded roll. When I was full and asked for a container, my waitress politely denied and took my unfinished box of food and returned with a bag. When I opened it for dinner tonight she had packed each item in individual containers. Wow! I was just going to toss it all together and be happy to have dinner ready! It’s those little extra efforts that really do make a difference. Thank you and I’ll see you soon!

    Upscale sushi and dining experience in a casual setting. Beer and wine are about half price for happy hour. Emma was a lovely server!

  • Review 10 (2020-09-29 - Rating: 5)

    We came here by recommendation of the Courtyardd by Marriott we were staying at. We were in the city for my birthday and this restaurant definitely gave me a memorable birthday dinner! They had beautiful outdoor seating available and the service from the staff was easily some of the best I’ve ever received. The food was so delectable. We had the food pictured as well as a shrimp teriyaki bento box with mochi for dessert. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. The staff set us up at a great table out of the way of everyone since we had a stroller with us. I wished we lived closer because we would be regulars!

  • Review 11 (2023-02-09 - Rating: 5)

    Its a cool spot with a nice happy hour. Its in the heart of midtown east so its not too bad to get to. The drinks are good and the service staff is friendly. We didnt have food this time but we went for cocktails. Id definitely go back to give their other drinks and their menu a try.

  • Review 12 (2022-10-02 - Rating: 5)

    August of 2020, I was back in the office and looking for some place open for lunch and found Gu Japanese Fusion. Their food is delicious, staff so friendly and the price is right. You get a lot of food in lunchbox specials. What I like is, when you order, you have options to choose from, i.e. no salt. I have hypertension and I clicked on no salt. Picked up my order, brought it back to work to eat it and it was delicious. Ive been back there several times, as I like their food and appreciate their attention to their customers. I highly recommend GU, and a lot of my colleagues have ordered or gone there.

  • Review 13 (2023-03-11 - Rating: 5)

    Great place for dinner. The food iss amazing and they have an adequate drink selection. The wait staff is very professional and attentive. The dessert is delicious, although there is a limited selection. Overall, Id recommend this place.

    Absolutely exceptional. I used to eat in the most refinest and best sushi places in USA and and this place is fantastic. Food melts in a mouth. Cocktails are amazing and very strong. It took me 40 minutes to pick a place in ny for sushi and I am proud of ny decision. Obsessed

  • Review 19 (2021-09-28 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic takeout for lunch. Bunch of different foods in this nice and compact bento box. They prepared the order and nicely packaged out before you come to pick up. The chicken is juicy and the salmon option is also very nice. Would definitely recommend friends to come here.

  • Review 20 (2019-01-01 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 23 (2024-02-04 - Rating: 5)

    The restaurant is extremely beutiful, I enjoyed very much the salmon dinner the items were high quality and the price was just right!!! All the staff is really friendly the hostess got us to our table quickly and we didn’t had to wait long until our server Lee got to our table, she brought everything in a timely manner and got us a dessert menu at the end, the mochis were delicious and they are different from the cheap ones you can buy at a store they felt more authentic. I’ll be coming back on my next trip to NYC definitely a place to pass by

    Pecking duck was awesomeGodzilla roll was probably one of the best sushi rolls I have had

  • Review 34 (2023-09-28 - Rating: 4)

    Good lunch special. Yummy roll was yummy and fish was fresh

  • Review 35 (2023-04-28 - Rating: 4)

    The sushi is very fresh and the decor was very modern. The only slight issue was it took like 6 minutes to fet my check. The price of the sushi is relatively standard 20 to 35 per entree. The 2 person chef special was slightly expensive but delicious. Pity I forgot to take pictures haha

  • Review 36 (2024-09-24 - Rating: 5)

    I always meet my Dad and friend here for lunch whenever Im in the area. 🤌🏻

  • Review 37 (2021-04-19 - Rating: 5)

    Formerly known as Asian Station, the proprietors changed the name but the food is still outstanding! I don’t know another place in this neighborhood or most others to get the freshest, most creative sushi at prices less than they should be.Katy and Benny are the most kind people and truly know hospitality.If you’re in or near the neighborhood, stop by and you will enjoy.

  • Review 40 (2022-08-07 - Rating: 5)

    I love this spot! The ambiance is great for dinner with friends or SO. Service is always wonderful and attentive, and the food is so delicious. Love that they have a late night happy hour because it helps make the meal very affordable.

  • Review 41 (2021-01-22 - Rating: 5)

    Delicious, really reasonably priced, and pretty quick service. The cocktails are good and theres a lot of variety. The specialty sushi rolls are the real reason to come though. The outdoor seating is nice and youre protected from the elements so you can still go out if its rainy/chilly/windy.

  • Review 42 (2020-01-30 - Rating: 5)

    Love this place! Such a great happy hour! The rock shrimp and garlic edamame are amazing. My friends and I come here weekly to catch up. Great sushi too! Strongly recommend. Cant beat it for any price!

  • Review 43 (2022-12-27 - Rating: 5)

    The food here was moderately good. We ordered pork ramen, peking duck and habachi shrimp and steak fried rice. I didnt realize the rice and the shrimp and steak would be separately served. Back home (in Shreveport, LA and parts of Texas) when I order habachi rice with a protein it is coupled together. However, as I said the food we ordered was moderately good. So, if u visit here, please ask questions regarding your order. Happy Eating!

  • Review 44 (2020-02-12 - Rating: 5)

    One of my favorite sushi places! My boyfriend and I come here all the time because the food is amazing and they have the best happy hour deals in the city. The wait staff is always so nice and are very accommodating to my gluten free preferences. Highly recommend!

  • Review 45 (2021-07-16 - Rating: 5)

    This place is a hidden gem! I’m used to eating sushi at exclusive restaurants in Los Angeles, which means I’m picky with my sushi. I’m not exaggerating when I say this place is phenomenal! Highest quality fish! Melts in your mouth! Cocktails are delicious, especially the Peach Fizz (I believe that’s what it’s called) absolute must try. We ate dinner here two nights in a row. The atmosphere is beyond pleasant! Clean and cozy! Highly recommend!!

  • Review 46 (2019-09-01 - Rating: 5)

    This restaurant is worth visiting for sushi lovers. Their sushi was great. Flavors were amazing and the price is also better then most around. Beer selections arent great but, decent enough.Service was great and kept checking in from a distance.Overall this a great restaurant and I will definitely recommend to anyone who likes sushi/sashimi.

  • Review 47 (2018-10-03 - Rating: 4)

    Very nice space, seemed quiet on the weekends which was great, allowed for pleasant conversation. All day happy hour on Saturday & Sunday. Food was good, service was quick and friendly. May have overstayed our welcome due to the extended happy hour but staff didnt mind and kept serving. 👍👍

    They were outstanding! I had the Salmon/Tuna Poke bowl with a piece of Tomago, and my girlfriend had the Tiger Roll. All delicious! Service and atmosphere were excellent!

  • Review 58 (2018-10-24 - Rating: 5)

    I left this place thinking, is it just the sake or did I just have the best sushi of my life? After another visit, I gotta say it was the sushi. Theyll make any roll fast and fresh, but my favorite was hands down the sea urchin. I know random, but I think its a must order. Fatty tuna and chefs special roll was also very high on my list.

  • Review 59 (2024-08-17 - Rating: 4)

    I liked the vibes but expected a bit more from the food. Solid options nonetheless!

    I came to Gu Japanese Fusion Sushi for a work lunch and was happy with my meal. The restaurant has a rally nice atmosphere for a date night.The sushi quality was pretty good, but my friend ordered the bento box which came with teriyaki which was really good.Overall it was a good meal, but I probably would not choose it over my go-to sushi restaurants.

  • Review 61 (2018-03-18 - Rating: 5)

    Killer sushi rolls. They are really so creative- you won’t find these special rolls elsewhere in manhattan.Really yummy cocktails. Loved the pork bun appetizers. Definitely recommend coming here!

  • Review 62 (2022-05-31 - Rating: 5)

    We came here a few days before Christmas in 2019 because this spot was only a 5 min walking distance from our hotel, and we were starving.First and foremost, they have a daily happy hour from 3-10 pm which was incredible! I ordered a white peach sangria which was delicious. For dinner, I ordered an avocado roll + sweet potato roll and both were super tasty! The sushi was inexpensive, and the place got packed about 30 mins after we got there. I would definitely recommend!

    Fish is really fresh here. Service is pretty good as well. Ordered agedashi tofu and a sashimi plate. The agedashi was really good. Light and crispy but not oily. The sashimi was fresh and the selection was pretty varied. Came around 9pm on a Sunday night and the happy hour was a good deal for drinks, 3.5 bucks for Japanese beers. The only thing that wasnt good was their soy sauce. I dont think its actually light soy sauce, but regular soy sauce cut with water.

    Food, service and prices good for casual afternoon lunch in midtown. Selections, other than maybe Sushi, could be a bit broader.

  • Review 140 (2018-10-13 - Rating: 5)

    Came for a late dinner and at first, was worried because the place was relatively empty. I was pleasantly surprised! First, they had happy hour specials so I was able to take advantage of lower prices, service was friendly and attentive and most importantly, the food was delicious! I had two pieces of yellowtail sushi, soft shell crab appetizer and a special sushi roll. The soft shell crab came out first and the sushi was timed perfectly to come out later. I had a great experience and loved the food highly recommend!

  • Review 143 (2020-02-20 - Rating: 5)

    What can I not say about this place? My wife and I were staying round the corner, out of town from Scotland and happened upon this place. It really is a real jewel in the NYC dining scene. The sushi is some of the best I have ever tasted. I highly recommend the Godzilla Roll and the Suzuki Carpaccio. Mata was our server and he was wonderful. Attentive but not persistent and he was just a genuine nice guy who cared about the work he does. It showed. Well done to all the crew at Gu. You have a great thing going.

  • Review 148 (2019-09-16 - Rating: 5)

    The best sushi in my life. Miso soup was delicious. The seaweed in their rolls is packed with flavour. The Godzilla roll was something out of this planet. $3.50 good beers during happy hour 6-10pm. Highly recommend.

  • Review 150 (2019-10-31 - Rating: 5)

    Lovely experience on a rainy Fall Wednesday. Happy Hour covers pretty much any diners hour except maybe an Argentinean. Food was awesome. I watched the chefs. They really know their craft. The daikon was not great, but I think Im the only person in the world who chows that anyway. Fresh fish, great portions, excellent service, superb price. Will definitely make this a go-to destination!
