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

Great Happy Hour spot on 52nd street . There HH cocktails are $7 and that’s a great deal . I started with a Sakitini (sake with lychee liquor and 2 big lychee pieces in it.) Wow that was delicious, get one. My friend had a Watermelon Mojito and that was good too and tasted like Summer. We started with some sushi rolls. The spicy Tuna and the Osaka roll with fried salmon in it . Get the Osaka Roll – that was so good . Staff are nice too . For mains I got the Salmon Teriyaki Bento Box , this comes with shumai and sushi and salad. Good deal . My friend got the Hibachi Chicken and Salmon Bento Box and his came with some shrimp and fried rice. He enjoyed that . For our 2nd round of drinks my friend got the Blue Hawaii with rum and blue curacao and pineapple juice . Again it was so delicious. Passionfruit drink was ok . Yasai Gyoza veggie dumplings are alright. I would skip the Calamari though. Bathrooms are clean. Next time I would try a Sushi Entree but this is a great Happy Hour spot. Subway right around the corner. Recommended.

Nice inside. Food was ok. I didn’t care for the king lobster roll or the ufo roll. The diamond sushi tray was very good. All of those melted in your mouth. Tuna tartar was good. Miso sea bass was just ok. Made reservations but probably wasn’t necessary on a week night.

GU Japanese Fusion Sushi & Bar offers a calm and relaxing atmosphere with polite and friendly staff. The food is consistently excellent, and the slightly dim lighting adds to the peaceful vibe. While the tables are close together, the restaurant is spacious with two seating areas and a bar, so it rarely feels overcrowded.
One detail I really appreciate is the designated area for hanging coats—it’s such a thoughtful touch. I’ve been to this restaurant six times and have never made a reservation. Each time, the staff was kind enough to accommodate us, which is perfect for spontaneous visits like mine. Highly recommend for anyone looking for good food and great service!

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.

A solid sushi option in the city. I walked past and stopped in with an immediate table and fast service.
I had a couple of salmon rolls, spicy edamame and miso soup and all were good options.
They have gluten free options in the back and have a gf soy sauce on hand.

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!!

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.
