    The quality of the food was impressive. It’s very expensive so not necessarily your neighborhood sushi place but when you’re looking for some high-quality food, it was really delicious. The yellowtail sashimi tasting starter was $40 and came with six pieces of yellowtail (no rice). And while it was very high-quality it’s going to be expensive to get full The waiter was so helpful in explaining the various dishes and very patient.  There are not many tables, maybe 10, primarily large banquettes, which made it feel pretty calm and open.  We will definitely go there again.

    Just what we needed, an excellent sushi and Omakase restaurant on the Upper Eastside. We have been here twice. Once for the amazing omakase experience, and again for a mid-week sushi dinner. Both were outstanding. The fish is high quality, the service friendly and professional, and the atmosphere inviting. I can't wait to go back.

    Sushi Goda was a great experience, sitting at the counter top having done the premium omakase. The chef told us every piece and gave us a little info on pieces we really seemed to enjoy. There were a few pieces I haven't had before, with some pieces being seasonal fish, which were delicious. They did a complimentary happy birthday dessert for my girlfriend, which was a very nice touch and showed how great the service was. I would recommend anyone to Sushi Goda and definitely will be going back.

    We did the Omakase. Amazing. There were no combination items, only pieces of sushi or sashimi but each taste and texture was different and wonderful. Amazingly fresh and the whole experience was fun and interactive and yummy.

    This is by far one of the worst NYC restaurants we've ever been to. I chose it because we wanted sushi, and for some bizarre reason, Goda has 5 stars on here and rave reviews. The portions are beyond skimpy, the food is bland and the prices are outrageous. We had to ask for ginger and soy sauce. It was like a twilight zone episode. No ginger, soy and wasabi?? When we told the waiter we were disappointed, he was very nice, but then said that their food was meant to be "simplistic". So if you like tasteless cuisine, by all means, go to Goda! The bonus was that their napkins left lint all over our pants. You can't make this stuff up LOL.

    Everything was delicious! We ordered the amazing red miso soup, crispy rice with tuna, hamachi sashimi, salmon maki and the grilled cod. The tuna on the crispy rice was my least favorite,as the tuna was fine,y chopped into more of a pate or dip, rather than having chunks of tuna. The others were definitely winners. The cold sake was perfect with the meal and our server was lovely. Place was very quiet,- maybe just bc it was a Tuesday.

    My friend and I had dinner at Sushi Goda last night and it was amazing! Go, there right now! :-) So good. We did the Classic Omakase and also had the rock shrimp and the white fish roll. Everything was amazing. The Omakase was superb and I want to go back and sit at the counter. We were at a table and it was wonderful but next time I want to watch the Chef work his magic! The service was great and the space is beautiful. I loved it. Can't wait to go back.

    We had a group number that was changing up to the moment we walked into the restaurant - the staff there were accommodating and very patient. They welcomed a last-minute addition without any issue. From the moment we walked in until the moment we left, we were taken very good care of. The food was mouth-watering delicious, drinks were as well. The service was efficient without making you feel rushed. The price point for our meal was comparable to neighboring restaurants. We look forward to going back again, and ordering deliver from them, when/if possible. Thank you for a memorable experience!
