Bondi Sushi — Restaurant in New York

Ah-Mazing! My new go-to spot. What was intended to be a quick bite turned into a real moment to stop and savor the experience. Had the lunch special on a Thursday $34 (choice of app , 6 nigiri pieces , and 2 hand rolls ) The service was EXCELLENT, watching the chef cut the fish was watching an artisan. The fish was the most tender I've ever had, it simply melted in my mouth. (and i've been eating sushi for several decades) We both commented our teeth didn't have to work. Friend ordered $34 special as well: Tuna Tataki; Wagyu, Chu Toro, Ikura; Spicy Tuna, Wagyu

The mochi was delicious- first time i've had mochi and liked it. Had Dragon Fruit, and Mango. The mochi outer layer was super thin, smooth, and creamy. Not at all chewy/gummy.

Had we had time we totally would have returned for the Happy Hour 3-6 where everything is $5.

I was stunned that we were able to walk right in, find a spot to sit and eat. Chain or not, this place is incredible. I am most definitely returning, if I was closer I'd be...

HUGE SAFETY RISK— I want to give it zero stars but it wouldn’t let me!

We had a huge scare with sushi ordered from this place on Saturday. While chewing on the spicy salmon roll, I felt like there was something hard to chew on inside the roll. I was hoping it was just maybe a bone of the salmon (which shouldn’t be there in a roll) so I spit it out. I discovered two tiny pieces of shards of either very sharp plastic or glass. I notified Uber eats and bondi sushi immediately due to the SAFETY concern. I also sent the picture below (note tiny pieces of shard on the left hand side) to the manager. No one has called me back from that place.

So to top the SAFETY concern, it feels there is negligence too. To be fair, this isn’t the first time I or my family have ordered from here. We’ve never had a concern before. But we will not be ordering from here ever...

The location is kind of confusing. I wish they’d have a host there to ask if you were there for takeout or if you wanted to dine in. I didn’t realize there was a dine in place until after i ordered. I would never take out from this place again. The takeout was subpar. There was absolutely no love put into this food. Completed in 5 minutes? The seaweed was so chewy. Like beyond chewy. Kind of disgusting if you ask me. The price is ridiculous, could have gotten better quality and it would have been cheaper at kazunori. To top it off, their beverages options are limited. They charged close to $5 for a can of sprite? Like what? High way robbery. You can already tell that the dine in process was probably better. Maybe would try again but it has to be dine in because take out, this place...
