Shobu Sushi — Restaurant in New York

My boyfriend and I are big on Sushi. We've been to so many spots all over Brooklyn and Manhattan. We ordered from shobu on grub hub once just because it was the only place with good reviews close to home and we've been absolutely obsessed ever since. It really is the best sushi I've ever had and so far no place compares. We've also gone in to eat there and the staff is so extremely friendly. They're always smiling, they're always welcoming, and they always remember our order! I always stick with sushi but my dad (who hates raw fish) ordered a seafood soup once and was blown away by how good it was, and he's not easily impressed. My skeptical sister (who thrives off disagreeing with me), also admits this is the best sushi she's ever had. We've moved from the area but still will go out of the way and drive here at least once every couple weeks. I love this place!

P.S. I've tried almost every sushi roll they offer and I have yet to be disappointed. The special rolls are definitely worth the extra $. Everything is...

I don't know how long this place has been here but it has been at least 7 years. That alone should let you know that it is pretty good since it withstood the test of time.

As with all sushi places, the price can be a bit steep. However, I really had a hankering for sushi so planned to have a late lunch one day. I wandered in at about 3:45pm and was very pleasantly surprised to find that their lunch specials run until 4:00pm. For $11.50 (and of course, that price may change in the future but it likely won't jump too high), you can order three rolls and you also get a small salad or miso soup. Since not all rolls are designed for all pallets, this is an awesome way to experiment.

One of the biggest downsides to this place is that it is closed on Tuesdays.

This place is a good choice (especially during lunch). I give it my seal...

Watch out, they'll change your order without asking, and you'll be stuck with it.

We ordered one green curry, and one red curry (yes they have a small portion of their menu that is Thai).

We asked for the curries to be more spicy than how they usually make them.

They sent two red curries, but labeled one of the dishes "Green Curry".

Excuse me ???

So, we are so stupid that we won't be able to tell that they are both Red Curry?? REALLY???

Wow.

Upon making the bloody phone call to ask them what the hell they were thinking, they replied with the INCREDIBLY feeble excuse that they were just trying to do their best to give us what we asked for. Are you SERIOUS ??!!

You MUST be joking. But no, she...
