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.

    Delicious food in a calm atmosphere. Love the "Gari's Special Sushi" -- unique. The "Sushi Deluxe" very good, but not as individual.

    Excelente lugar, muy chico, austero pero con una comida sobresaliente y una atención de excelencia. Valor alto pero al que le gusta el durazno que se banque la pelusa.
