Cafe 11 — Restaurant in New York

Since our office moved downtown, we have lamented the loss of Dainobu, the Japanese convenience store. However, I can get my sushi fix for lunch at an extremely reasonable price at Cafe 11.

This place is a quintessential hole-in-the-wall shop with sushi, bagels and more. As it is Kosher, it is not always open on the weekdays but be sure to check the holidays before you make the trek out and you'll be fine.

The sushi is always fresh, delicious, and super filling. For 11 dollars, I couldn't ask for a better place for sushi for lunch. Recommendations are the Alaska Roll, Mango Avocado Cucumber Roll and Black Pepper Tuna Roll.

The staff is always very nice and very quick. You can see the sushi being made right in front of you so you know it's fresh. Mendy, the owner, is very alert and always gets your order right.

Very good food and service. We've just visited there today with the family and everyone much enjoyed! Note: the place is not a restaurant and there is no place to sit so you can enjoy the park in front of the Broadway 11 next to the building. In addition, the place is hidden and is not an easy site to found!!! We've spent 20 minutes with asking several people until we found it. It is not have a front facing to the street and everyone easily mixed by the 2 non kosher restaurants on the street, both on the same address... You must enter the lobby of Broadway 11 building and then ask the guard for Cafe 11...

Really great, fresh sushi. Friendly staff. I rarely go out to lunch, and when I do this is my go to...it makes me crave sushi like none other. My coworker and i go weekly together. They even have a bunch of different homemade sauces to accompany your chosen rolls. My favorite rolls are cucumber avocado mango and the Alaska. Mmmmmm. Lunch special with 2 rolls is pretty cheap. 👌🏻

NOTE - as they are kosher they seem to be closed most Jewish holidays. So we’ve learned to check the calendar...
