Sushi of Gari 46 — Restaurant in New York

I live in the neighbourhood but never visited this place so decided to give it a try last Sunday night. When I tried making a reservation on Opentable, it required credit card details with a threat of $25 charge for a no-show. Red flag! But given tables were available for anytime in the next hour, I opted for a walk-in since it was only a 10 minute walk from me anyway. To my surprise, when I showed up, the hostess told me they can't sit me at a table given they are fully booked despite the fact that the place was 80% empty! I asked for a manager and pulled up the Opentable app for him that showed plenty of availability. However he could not provide any explanation of why they can't sit us at the table. Red flag #2! Long story short, they sat our party of 2 at the bar. We opted for their most expensive special sushi and sashimi combo on the menu. But the food was mediocre at best. It tasted 'fishy', no pun untended, and did not seem super fresh. The fish selection was not too impressive either (no uni, no unagi, no rare/unique fish types). Red flag #3! We left pretty disappointed given the check-in experience and food was quality for the high price tag charged. I will not be returning to this place again despite being a huge sushi fan and living nearby. If you want really great sushi and customer service in Hells Kitchen area, just walk up to Columbus Circle and enjoy Blue Ribbon! They don't take reservations through Opentable but are so worth the...

I had an incredible dining experience at Sushi of Gari 46. From the moment I walked in, the service was outstanding. The sushi chef was exceptionally kind and welcoming, which made the experience feel personal and authentic. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that I had everything I needed throughout the meal.

The ambience struck a perfect balance between elegance and comfort. The minimalist yet warm décor gave it an authentic Japanese feel, and the atmosphere was calm and inviting — ideal for an intimate sushi experience.

Now, the highlight: the sushi. The variety of flavors and textures was truly remarkable. Each piece was beautifully presented and thoughtfully crafted, showcasing the freshness of the ingredients. The toro nigiri topped with caviar was a standout — the buttery richness of the fish paired perfectly with the briny pop of the caviar. The uni hand roll was another highlight; the creamy, sweet uni contrasted beautifully with the crisp nori and perfectly seasoned rice.

Every bite felt like a harmonious balance of flavor and texture. It’s clear that a lot of attention goes into both the sourcing of ingredients and the preparation of each piece.

If you’re a sushi lover, Sushi of Gari 46 is a must-visit. The combination of top-notch service, authentic atmosphere, and outstanding food makes this place a true gem. I can’t...

I have never written any food review but I can more bare to not write one. My husband and I came from Vancouver and had our last meal here tonight after watching the Lion KING. When we got into the resturant we asked for the sushi bar as we saw there was space, they said it's not avalible so we took a table. We asked for the omakase and the waitress told us because they are closing soon the sushi will all be in one big plate. Basically we were chowing down 12 piece of sushi in 30 mins and paid $300 for the meal that took 30 mins, faster than food court. The lady beside me had the same meal and was done at the same time...we both were very mad when we left.

This meal had left a big taste in my stomach for new york. I can not believe they decided to charge us $300 for that piece of junk and did not even offer us any complimentary.......... redicously.

It's not the first time we visited new York. We had a great meal there last time. I am not blaming the waitress but I blame the sushi owner or chef for not stopping the order. What kind of omakase experience is it of you force your customer to finish the meal in 30 mins......and make us pay this kind of money. This restaurant experience is so disappointing to end my trip this way. I would give it 0...
