6 Midtown Sushi Spots Named Among Best In NYC: Ranking

MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — Sushi lovers in Midtown Manhattan are spoiled, according to a new list by the website Eater, which says the neighborhood has a half dozen of the best sushi restaurants in New York.

Eater's list of "NYC's 31 Top Sushi Restaurants" was first released in 2016 and republished Wednesday with a number of new additions — and subtractions.

Stretching from Columbus Circle down to 28th Street, the six Midtown spots include high-profile, pricey restaurants like Masa as well as smaller, lesser-known places.

Here's a brief rundown of all the Midtown restaurants on the list:

Masa (10 Columbus Circle)

A mainstay of any New York City sushi ranking, Eater says the Columbus Circle restaurant has "what some consider to be America’s best, and priciest, omakase."

Uogashi (318 West 51st St.)

The only restaurant within the bounds of Hell's Kitchen to make the list, Uogashi is a new addition to Eater's updated story. The restaurant, famed for its "prestine fish," moved to the neighborhood from the East Village after a fire.

Sushi Ginza Onodera (461 Fifth Ave.)

At just eight seats, Sushi Ginza Onodera is linked with a Tokyo company and ships its fishi n three times per week, Eater reports. Unlike most omakase counters of its caliber, it includes a cheaper lunch offering.

Sushi Amane (245 East 44th St.)

A relatively young restaurant, Sushi Amene opened in 2017 in Midtown East. The standard omakase costs $200 and includes all wild-caught seafood, Eater writes.

Sushi Yasuda (204 East 43rd St.)

Far from young, Sushi Yasuda opened in 1999 and is "regarded as a bastion for fine fish." It is a cheaper option than others on the list, with a 12- or 18-piece omakase running $100 or $160.

Noda (6 West 28th St.)

Eater raves that this NoMad spot is "an all-out NYC sushi experience," served at an eight-seat counter separated by a curtain from a Japanese whiskey bar.

Just south of Midtown, Manhattan is awash with more top-tier sushi options, including nearly two dozen scattered throughout Greenwich Village and Lower Manhattan, according to the list.
