Bushniwa — Restaurant in New York

Great food and amazing service.

I went on a Sunday night with a large party (13 people) and they were able to accommodate for us as we had made a reservation and our order in advance.

Food was great - as we had such a large group, we had ordered many items and were able to try lot of foods. Out of all the appetizers we ordered, I'd definitely recommend the pork buns. The pork was incredibly soft and tender, and it went well with the fluffy buns and the sauce used.

We also got a large amount of rolls and sashimi (sashimi pictured below). While the presentation itself was certainly beautiful, more importantly, the fish was of great quality. The fish tasted fresh, had no fishy smell to it, and was super tender. The fatty salmon pieces were so soft and fatty that it was almost difficult to pick up, but the taste was fantastic and well worth the effort. The rolls were great as well - again, you could taste the fresh fish.

We also got dry aged rib-eye steak, and while you wouldn't normally trust steak in a restaurant known for their sushi, I would recommend that you try it here! It was well-seasoned and was cooked to a beautiful rare. It came with a large piece of broccoli and mashed potatoes on the side. A few members in my party couldn't eat raw fish, but they were quite satisfied with the flavors of the steak.

For dessert, we got their homemade ice cream, panna-cotta, and almond tofu. The green tea ice cream had what I think were matcha flavored bits, which added a nice textural and flavorful element to an otherwise creamy ice cream. The panna-cotta had a coconut layer, a green tea layer, and a strawberry sauce on top with some mango pieces sprinkled on top. It was soft and creamy and the coconut section has actual coconut pieces in it. A few members of my party thought the strawberry sauce was a little too strong and overpowering for the panna-cotta, but it's well worth a try if you're craving something creamy! The almond tofu is not for everyone as the sauce is more of a traditional flavor compared to the other desserts. It comes with kuromitsu, a black sugar syrup (like the sauce for the waterdrop cake). If you're into that type of traditional flavor like I am, then you're sure to enjoy this dessert. The flavors were simple but satisfying. If you're not into this type of traditional flavor, I'd suggest trying another dessert instead like the ice creams or the panna-cotta.

Lastly, the service was fantastic!! I could not be happier with the service. The food came out in timely intervals (keep in mind we had made our orders well in advance), our cups were constantly filled with water whenever low, and the servers were incredibly nice and welcoming.

While the food can be a bit pricey, this is a great place to celebrate a special occasion as you will have a great time trying...

They seem to either be extremely understaffed or not used to having to mange delivery orders. I ordered from the once and my delivery time kept getting push further and further back before it was cancelled with no explanation. When I called the restaurant they said my order was there but the delivery man had already cancelled due to the long wait without being given a warning of how long the wait would be. I ordered again a few weeks later, figuring based on the many positive reviews and lack of another sushi restaurant open in the area it was worth it to try again, a similar thing happened except after I noticed the delivery man was waiting at the restaurant for a while on the Seamless app I decided to go ahead and call the restaurant just to ensure my order was not going to be cancelled. I called three times and each time I got a dial tone. I also called the delivery man and he said he was waiting in his car but it seemed the order was still not ready. Seamless alerted me my delivery time had been moved back half an hour and when i opened the notification I noticed another driver was now waiting for my order. The food was good but not great, I don't think I will be ordering from here again in the future. It's not...

This neighborhood has changed a lot for past few years and a girlfriend of mine took me here to try this new place. Actually this restaurant opened more than a year and definitely a neighborhood gem. We arrived around 6pm and we are able to seat immediately, we ordered a Japanese sake to kick off the dinner. The wine, sake selection are good and the prices are decent. We ordered the grilled yellowtail collar and eel to begin with, and both dishes are nicely prepared and I will come back to order again. We shared a Sashimi combo (medium) as our main courses and they gave great quantity of Sashimi, very nice and fresh and good variety of different seasonal fishes too. The desserts menu are excellent too, they made their own desserts, Matcha Tiramisu, Coconut & Matcha Panna Cotta with fresh strawberry sauce and the homemade almond tofu. It is worth to go back again. The overall space is comfy and cozy and perfect for gathering or hang out at the bar. Street parking...
