Sushi Ryusei

Perfect date night!

Nice food. It was OK. Pricey for what you get.

Wonderful sushi

Birthday dinner for my mother. I indicated it was for a birthday on Open Table while making the reservation and without asking, they brought out a candle on an extra dessert. Nicely done. I was happy enough with the unique and delicious array of sushi pieces in the Omakase and this was the cherry on top. Sushi Matches quality you would get in Japan.

I appreciate the great service and enjoyed the quality of food.
Thank you

Delicious melt in your mouth sushi and excellent service. One thing I do not like at any restaurant even before COVID is when the waiter also clears the dirty dishes. Our waiter was really good. Except I couldn’t help but notice when he cleared the dishes his finger and thumbs In gloves went into the soup bowls. Then minutes later out came our sushi platters and he was wearing the same gloves. If waiters need to also bus tables they should constantly be changing gloves
Otherwise the gloves are just for show.

Service was excellent. Sushi was quite good for the price. I would definitely come back and recommend it. Better background music would be nice.

It’s a hidden gem and by far the best sushi around.

This restaurant is very good and nice area!!
I wanna eat sushi again!!

The sushi & sashimi omakase is easily worth the trip, and the money

I love Sushi Ryusei!!! From the omakase to the Tuna Special!

My wife and I came for a special evening and had a wonderful dinner. We chose the Omakase and the chef took great care of us. Our server was wonderful and we had just a perfect evening.

Great fresh Sashimi served. Recommend to order their Calamari Salad - dressing is really good. Very attentive service.

Excellent Japanese spot in midtown. Freshest ingredients, sushi and entire menu really. Neighborhood gem.

Rui Sei is one of the best quality sushi restaurant in the city. Food quality is fine. Service is good too, very attentive. I recommend here for all real sushi lovers from sushi quality point of view. The restaurant itself is also nice and clean. Maybe it is not enough to say as fancy or cool spot as destination though.

Excellent sushi quality and good value.

Great food and service

Always extraordinary. Best quality fish. The scallop is one of our favorites. Sublime.

Omakase was outstanding, attentive friendly staff. Very good experience.

Fantastic - Kai is a great manager and amazing food

お誕生日でお食事をしたのですが、最後にサプライズのデザートをサービスしてくださいました。お心遣いが嬉しかったです。

Best omakase in NYC. End of story. Exquisite preparation, perfectly served, superb sake selection. Haruki greets you like family, assisted by attentive staff. You will return again and again like me and always find Sushi Ryusei your favorite.

Great spot in Midtown for exceptional sushi. The waitstaff is veryfriendly and hard working . Everyone wears masks and gloves.
The restaurant has outdoor dining in a tent with separation screens and heaters.
We sat inside and felt very safe with the tables very well distanced.
Great spot. Great staff. Great food.

Amazing food, fresh sushi, exceptional Japanese hospitality

One of our favorite restaurants. Amazing food and service

loved it. perfect for outdoor dining during covid and quality is so good

Sushi and experience is good, but nothing amazing. Sushi pieces are on the smaller size and I was disappointed that the 3 piece sashimi as part of the omakase only includes 1 piece of fish; the other 2 pieces were clam and something else (I would have expected 3 pieces of raw fish). Service is fine, but not great. Our waitress didn't ask if we wanted to check out coats and she just seemed very rushed everytime she came to our table. That's all ok in any other sushi restaurant, but this is a higher end sushi spot and our bill came to about $350 for 2 omakase orders and a couple of beers. Spending that kind of money you deserve top service and ambience. I've had better sushi and would only come back here if I'm in the area.

The service was amazing, they were on top of it all night, water, sake, ginger 🥰. I cannot recommend this place enough. I had the omasake and my partner ordered seperate items off the menu. He loved it just as much as I did! He couldn’t stop raving about how much he loved the salmon with the light torching. If you get a chance we highly recommend making this a must try!!

Great variety of fresh cuts of fish in a beautiful, cozy environment. Traditional style japanese cuisine including the hospitality, culture and traditions. Highly recommend!

So happy to have this new sushi gem in our neighborhood! The private, heated igloos are so comfy & the sushi is fantastic!

The service is so good - waitstaff is knowledgeable and very helpful and courteous. Every single thing we ate (had Omakase and a few things from the menu) was the best we have had anywhere and we eat sushi often. This is our absolute favorite spot for sushi in NYC.

The mini bubbles are great you feel warm even in lower temps. Service was top notch. Freshest sushi around. Wish they had larger portions and special rolls. E
Great night out

Excellent as always. We sat outside in a ‘bubble’. So safe during the pandemic.
The service is always friendly.
The food is delicious. Perfectly prepared.
Freshest sushi. So lucky Sushi Ryusei is in midtown.

Okay, here's the bottom line: Sushi Ryusei serves the finest sushi, sashimi and drop-dead side dishes in NYC. Would some diners find it a little pricey? Yes, but the quality, the attention to detail, the presentation, completely eliminates pricetag woes. I am serious. Haruki greets you like a dear friend coming into his home. The service is impeccable. Never deviates. I have been to Sushi Ryusei many times and it is always, always, always top notch. Fabulous sake menu. If your taste leans toward dry, I recommend Denshu Tokubetsu Junmai from Akita Prefecture. For the menu - omakase is a must. Let the Chef decide what you eat. You will not believe this cozy place. I realize I am setting myself up for not being able to get a reservation, but when you find something stellar, you have to share it.

Fantastic experience even with the COVID restrictions. Will be back!

Abolitely delicious. Fantastic omokase. Our server was delightful
And we loved dining outside. We will be back.

Amazing Sushi - Hole in the wall, so you would never expect it --- but HOLY SHMOLY this place is really really really good!

The large premium Omakase was amateur at best. The fish was fresh, but Overall lacked creativity and variety. The chef served 3 fishes multiple times showing limited skill and/or product availability. The wine list is horrible. The staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean and used Covid precautions.

Had the omakase sushi and sashimi combo which was pretty good but did not quite match the hype I felt after reading reviews. Nonetheless, it was not extremely expensive for omakase. The yuzu cheesecake was good.

Amazing food, incredible service. Very friendly and welcoming. Delicious food. Highly recommend.
