Hooray! SUSHI DAMO has returned and managed to reopen since their needed covid closure in mid March.
Andy, their outstanding manager, sushi chefs and floor staff are back and ready to provide indoor dining, take-our plus delivery.
Last night, my girlfriend and I were so fortunate to get a window table. Andy took our temperature upon entering and everything was done with done with 'safe distancing'.
We started with their vegetable dumplings which were so delicious. Next a tuna sushi with avocado starter with a soy scallion sauce. Then, of course, we enjoyed several amazing specialty rolls from their menu. Being able to enjoy Sushi Damo once again brings hope to me, my friends and family--almost like an early Thanksgiving...especially as our daylight hours are getting shorter.
Thanks Andy and Sushi Damo for your valiant reopening in our pandemic and the hope you provide to the Columbus Circle neighborhood!!...

We ordered tea that was never delivered to the table, we finished the first bottle of Saki and a our waiter never came back to ask if we needed another. Not once during our entire meal deal she see how we were doing. I mentioned this when she delivered the check and she simply laughed. No kidding, laughed. No apologies, nothing! When we were leaving not even a thank you.
Not the best sushi in town, over priced for what it is, and the worse customer service I have experienced in a long time.
I will NEVER eat at...
