We love fresh sushi and this spot is excellent! We loved the $100 Omakase! It was delicious, creative and had an amazing variety of fresh fish and wonderful flavor! Leo was our chef and he curated and prepared a phenomenal experience for us that was awesome and fun! Annie was our server she was very attentive. We had so much fun and they were very sweet with their birthday surprises for me! I highly recommend Sushi by M!! We will definitely be back!

I had an exceptional omakase experience at Sushi by M – Upper East Side, and a huge part of what made it memorable was Chef Leo and his mastery of the craft.
Chef Leo brings an impressive depth of knowledge that clearly comes from his 10-year culinary journey. Every piece he served reflected precision, intention, and a deep respect for ingredients. The 12-piece omakase paired with a hand roll was beautifully curated—each bite distinct, balanced, and thoughtfully paced.
What truly elevated the experience was how engaging and welcoming he was. It wasn’t just about eating sushi; it was about understanding it. Getting to know him, hearing about his process, and even recording parts of the experience made it feel personal and immersive rather than transactional.
You can tell Chef Leo genuinely loves what he does, and that passion translates directly onto the plate. If you’re looking for an omakase that combines technical excellence, storytelling, and warmth, this is absolutely the place—and Chef Leo is someone worth sitting in front of.
Highly recommend. ✨

Was excited to see that Sushi by M made its way to the Upper East Side as I’ve been to the other location in East Village before. Came here to celebrate my friend’a birthday. Place is spacious, clean and modern looking. The waitress and sushi chef were super attentive and checked up on us from time to time. We opted for the $100 omakase course and added on the Big Mac at the end. Each sushi was fresh and the toppings complimented each piece well. The chef made a special sushi cake for my friend’s birthday. What a surprise!

I really wanted to like this spot, but it was just meh. I felt the service was overly attentive in the sense that they were trying to rush you out. The servers hover with iPads trying to take your order. I also found the atmosphere and lighting offputting. I felt like I was in a waiting room at a dentist or a bank definitely not relaxing vibes. Sushi was ok but nothing notable.

Soo happy to have this place in the ues! Everyone was so nice and every course was SO fresh and delicious. Chef Kevin was the best, he really hooked us up and Christina made us feel so welcome. It’s a big spot and love that they have a private table for 6 in the corner so you can have a more intimate experience with friends and a chef. The pricing is great too. Will def be back!
