52nd Bro Sushi — Restaurant in New York

The food was delicious, but our experience was overshadowed by the service. The waiter seemed annoyed from the start and even rolled his eyes while taking our order. When we asked to split the check, my friend paid in cash, and I paid by card. I wrote $0 for the tip on the receipt because I planned to leave a cash tip. However, before I could explain, the waiter aggressively asked, 'Where’s the tip?'

I was caught off guard but calmly asked if he had change. He responded, 'No, you’re supposed to give me change,' to which I explained that I needed change to leave a tip. He dismissed me, saying, 'Now you know for next time,' despite my attempts to clarify.

There may have been a language barrier, as another customer mentioned the waiter didn’t understand me, but I don’t believe that justifies rude behavior. Unfortunately, this experience has made me...

So far I am a fan of this place. The dining area is very small. I read on Yelp that it was small but when I got there, it is really small. Maybe 2 tables and a bar along the window.

I'd opt for take out as they don't deliver. I ordered the Maki C combo which has crunchy/spicy tuna, crunchy/spicy salmon, and a sunny roll which is basically a spicy california roll. This combo was $16 for 3 rolls and comes with a miso soup. They also have a small Korean section on the menu which is pretty cool. I ordered the Bulgoki over rice from here which comes with a salad, miso soup, and edamame for $9. Overall for 2 people it was under $14 each. Not bad for sushi and korean food in one sitting.

I'd definitely give this place a try, maybe during the week since it doesn't have a big dining area and they do offer some good...

Mediocre sushi paired with hostile service. The restaurant's attitude is best exemplified in their response to a negative Google Review, where they defensively blamed the customer's "etiquette" rather than addressing complaints about their overly aggressive tipping demands.

They've managed largely due to being only on of two sushi options in the area. If you are willing to venture slightly further (Sunnyside, Skillman, beyond) you'll find comparable sushi (if not better) and pricing, without the unprovoked hostility.

With rising costs just about everywhere, customers shouldn't overlook or enable this establishment's poor service, especially when considering the prices...
