    We’re British visiting for a few days and the reviews for this place are so mixed but what I can say from my experience is that you have to visit this place.The vibe there is great, we had the sushi at the chef’s table and weren’t disappointed. Once you get the chefs talking they really appreciate it. We course isn’t that filling but it’s more about the experience, we’re by no means sushi badgers but everything was delicious.I’ve seen reviews about music not being very loud and sounding like elevator music, there is literally a club underneath the bar with live music or a bar 3 doors down that will meet your decibel needs.We were hosted superbly from start to finish, cannot fault it.

    BY FAR THE COOLEST SPEAKEASY I’VE EVER BEEN TO!! You wouldn’t know it was there if you haven’t been there before. Black door, gotta ring a buzz to be let in, and then old school elevator type of door to enter. Once you do, it’s filled with amazing energy. It’s a sushi restaurant, where there’s live DJ’ing, but it’s VINYL ONLY! The food was amazing, literally took me into another dimension mentally. Our hostess, Jenny was amazing. She was very attentive, respectful and gave us amazing suggestions. It was my first place here, but I’ll definitely be back for a date. Thank you!

    Excellent vibes. Easily one of my favorite places in the city. The spot is a sort of casual lounge where you can order sushi (love the uni handrolls) and mixed drinks, all while enjoying excellent music from the really good sound systems.

  • Review 4 (2024-12-16 - Rating: 5)

    Really really cool vibes here. I loved the interior and the service was pretty good. Overall just a cool bar to be in. This place gets really packed after 11!

  • Review 5 (2024-12-13 - Rating: 5)

    Came with a group of 5. We got a private table and Had a really great time here. Sushi was delicious and fresh as well as the music and service. Certainly one of the most unique sushi dinner and drinks experience I’ve had in awhile. Really enjoyed the scallops and fish was extremely fresh. Cocktails were great for a sushi restaurant. We had a 7pm resi and stayed for almost 6hrs. After 11:30 it becomes a really cool bar/lounge with great Music. Would definitely come back here again.

    Had the omakase here on a Monday with group of 3. Stayed for the sushi party which turned out to be a great decision since Anderson Paak made an appearance. Vibes were immaculate. Food was pretty solid. Next time I’d just come for a la carte since you can actually order any omakase item a la carte.

  • Review 7 (2023-07-11 - Rating: 4)

    Really fantastic atmosphere and service. A mix of a low-key omakase bar with a speakeasy vinyl bar (as a result, the music set a really nice mood for the whole dinner). The sushi was great (not the best Ive ever had but very good!) although be warned that you will need to book a specific, non-hightop, table in order to get the full omakase. It was relatively expensive which is to be expected for a NYC omakase spot.

    Like if u went to a super rich person’s cool aunt’s place for a drink

  • Review 9 (2023-11-17 - Rating: 5)

    Studio 151 offers a unique experience that seamlessly blends the art of Omakase with a fantastic listening room ambiance. The sushi Omakase was a delightful journey of flavors, each piece crafted with precision and creativity. The intimate setting of the listening room enhanced the overall enjoyment, making it a perfect place for both sushi enthusiasts and music lovers. Studio 151 is a hidden gem where culinary excellence meets musical pleasure – a must-visit for those seeking a refined and memorable night out.

    This place is looked a bit sketchy. I thought it would be a large bar, it was kind of small.The foods were fresh. Not many options for foods. I hope they have something that not sushi type more like fired foods.

  • Review 11 (2024-04-26 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing. Incredible environment, amazing sushi, very friendly host and my sushi chef was such a cool guy. Also they threw in 2 free Sake shots for me and my date. Totally recommend!! Not only is it great, but it’s a really good deal given how expensive Omakase usually is.

  • Review 12 (2024-05-10 - Rating: 5)

    Not to be overly dramatic, but I love this place. No clue How anyone doesnt give them 5 stars.Dont brand it speak easy, sushi restaurant, or fun DJ music club, as it ticks a ton of boxes and I cant compare it to anything. The high top near the bar seating is fun and unique, the staff is warm, welcoming, informative and fun. The food is completely shareable, delicious and again, unique. Loved the nigiri, hand rolls, specialty rolls and apps.And while the server was great, dont sleep on the bartenders. Their signature cocktails or anything you want made-to-order will be a top notch drink. I wish I knew the name of our bartender as he made my wifes b-day, helping with an off-menu Sake bomb, including some fist pounding to expedite the plunge.Well definitely return.

    Very cool speakeasy sushi bar. Really enjoyed the vibe and interior

    Uber cool East village spot with good drinks, nice lounge seating, strong vinyl collection and plenty of standing room

  • Review 15 (2024-10-19 - Rating: 5)

    The vibes were great the omakase was incredible I will be back for another special occasion

  • Review 16 (2022-07-20 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing sushi and coolest atmosphere. You feel like you’ve been transported to a 70s lounge.

  • Review 17 (2024-05-20 - Rating: 5)

    Simply superb! The omekase was excellent! Unadulterated, clean and clever sushi.The atmosphere is amazing and the music was great.

  • Review 18 (2024-01-12 - Rating: 4)

    Great local spot for drinks and sushi. Around midnight the vibe changes from chill dinner to louder/party - both are fun. Host was somewhat uptight, which didnt fit the overall vibe

  • Review 19 (2023-02-26 - Rating: 5)

    Good whiskey selection, the eggplant appetizer and the sushi varieties were great too. Definitely recommend as a date spot or weekday casual night out. The dj/music booth has a nice vinyl selection surrounding it, speakeasy vibes.

  • Review 20 (2024-09-11 - Rating: 5)

    Currently my favorite spot in the city! Nice lowkey speakeasy vibes.

  • Review 21 (2024-12-20 - Rating: 5)

    ありがとうございます!!!Our experience here really was great, we would highly recommend this place. My boyfriend really loved the Omakase experience - it was his first time. Kristina went out of her way to ensure everything was taken care of with our reservation when we had some trouble with the system. Chef Kamui? Phenomenal. Absolutely incredible experience at the counter with him - very friendly and made things so fun. Staff were very very attentive and the drinks were all top notch.Try the Otoro - its 🔥🔥🔥

  • Review 22 (2021-09-19 - Rating: 5)

    This is my absolute favorite place in downtown NYC! it has a speakeasy feeling when you walk up to the second floor and buzz to enter. The sushi is top quality, simply amazing. The interior design is beautiful and its just a wonderful room that you want to sit in with friends and listen to the great music while sipping on a cocktail in their fancy coupe glasses. Love it

  • Review 23 (2024-09-08 - Rating: 5)

    Great music

  • Review 24 (2023-06-22 - Rating: 5)

    Great food and service, we loved it.

  • Review 25 (2021-08-20 - Rating: 5)

    Low key atmosphere. Not for those looking for the new music. I personally love escaping here for some great fresh food, cocktails, and a vintage sexy flow. Reservations are required. Just come as you are. It is far from stuffy here and I love that.

  • Review 26 (2022-08-13 - Rating: 5)

    They spin their own vinyl, comes at the cost of hearing a record skip every now and then, but so be it. Sushi closes at 10pm I believe. Gratuity added automatically. Yes this is literally a loft apartment retrofitted to be a bar.

  • Review 27 (2023-10-05 - Rating: 5)

    Great vibe and delicious sushi - highly recommend the omakase at the counter

  • Review 28 (2021-10-26 - Rating: 5)

    Come here before you cant. There is no such thing as a more cool new york vibe than this. Nor is there better sushi outside of midtown. Enjoy this hidden gem with wonderful records played live and then see the actual band downstairs at nublu

  • Review 29 (2017-12-09 - Rating: 5)

    Great new undiscovered bar with dance floor. music is not too loud. perfect when you want a night out but don’t want to bother going to a club.

  • Review 30 (2023-05-24 - Rating: 5)

    Such a cool vibe, really tasty food. I went on a Tuesday so it was chill, I don’t know is the weekend would be too crazy but reallly pleased by the experience

    The vibe of this place is so good! Good place to chat casually and sip on some tasty beers and cocktails. I recommend this place for large parties because there is plenty of seating! Also recommend for music heads because the playlist was bumping :)

    We had the Omakase. The chefs were also great hosts and took the time to explain to us everything. We had a few cocktails and Sake. Worth a visit! The vibe is very cozy and “artsy” . I would definitely come back for a drink or two.

    One of my favorite spots. Awesome tasteful vibe. Great music, it can be hip, mainstream, underground seamlessly, love it. Very nice, cool staff. Delicious hand rolls. Nice drink selection. Being next to Nublu is a plus if there is anything live going on.

  • Review 58 (2021-09-05 - Rating: 5)

    Ah I will definitely recommend here. The music is the best. I love those jazzy and funky songs.

  • Review 59 (2021-08-16 - Rating: 4)

    We went there for a friend’s birthday party. The music was nice and not too loud even though it has a club vibe. The sushi bites were ok. Their nigiri was good but I can’t say the same for the other sushi types which had too much rice and a very small amount of fish.Overall a cool place to come with friends.

  • Review 60 (2022-05-31 - Rating: 5)

    Has to be one of the coolest spots in nyc. I celebrated my 30th birthday here and loved every minute !!! The atmosphere is sexy, the food and drinks are so tasty, and the music is unbeatable. We had a group of 27 for dinner and the staff could not have been more helpful with the reservation and service the night of. Everyone had so much fun - thank you to Pinar, Ayami, and everyone at Studio 151!! I would definitely recommend for a party, date night, or just to have a good time. :)
