Upper East Side

About the restaurant

Welcome to Sushi of Gari Upper East Side! This restaurant is the first restaurant specializing in the wonderful taste of Gari Signature Sushi. This restaurant is rather a small establishment, but we offer an amazing Sushi as well as many traditional Japanese dishes. In addition to many very fresh authentic Japanese Sushi, let us surprise you by Gari's originality: some area slightly cooked, or marinated, and served with a variety of home-made sauces or other delicacies which enhance the daily market's freshest seafood, many of which are from Japan especially for Sushi of Gari.

Please note: Sushi Bar reservation is not available online. Please contact the restaurant directly.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this sushi of Gari Upper East Side restaurant, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The sushi was absolutely delicious, with each piece meticulously prepared and bursting with fresh flavors. The variety and quality of the fish were impressive, making it clear that only the finest ingredients were used. What truly stood out, however, was the service. The staff was incredibly polite, attentive, and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. They went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy top-notch sushi paired with excellent service in a low-key environment.

This was our first time and from the moment you enter to the time you leave you feel welcomed. The customer is the main focus here and it shows in the service. The food is excellent and made as asked and for the value it’s well worth it. I recommend this place and will visit again in the near future.

An outstanding experience from start to finish. Upon entering through the curtain and being first warmly greeted by general manager Eric, the hospitality and service procured by his well trained team is second to none. Omakase curated by chef and expertly crafted a la minute of seasonal, utmost freshest ingredients is best in the city, and the country. A must when you visit NYC.
