Sushi in Midtown

[lildiss73]

Hello everyone,
We are in midtown and looking for a mid priced yummy sushi restaurant in the 40's - 50's between 3rd ave and 6th ave. There are so many!

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

TIA

PS this is my first post, yeah!

Welcome - besides Hatsuhana and Sushiden, don't go to any of the other places mentioned.

Yasuda can in fact be affordable, it's just a matter of ordering. For instance, their $34 Sushi matsu gets you 12 pieces and 2 rolls.

Hi lildiss73,

Welcome to the board! For mid-priced sushi, you can try Hatsuhana. While omakase can be expensive, they offer some reasonably priced sushi set and the quality is quite good. They have 2 locations in Midtown.

Sushi Damo is our favorite dinner joint.

Out of curiosity, what do you usually order at Sushi Damo? Because I ate there the other night, and I was *really* disappointed. I got the sushi/sashimi combo and my friend got the spicy maki combo. I also (based on the waiter's reccomendation) ordered the spicy yellowtail sashimi and a monkey roll for an appeteizer. I was kind of perturbed because the $29 sushi/sashimi combo came with a California Roll, and I thought the sushi pieces were offensively tiny. Plus, I thought the quality of the fish, although pretty good, was rather mediocre for the price. The tuna, in particular, was very much sub-par, I thought.

Maybe I just ordered wrong?

Anyone been to Sushiden? It is too pricey?

it's priced on the high side...their sushi/sashimi combinations are in the 30-35 dollar range, so by the time you add in an appetizer and/or sake, it'll add up. it is very very good, however.

we usually get shumai & a couple rolls (monkey, dragon, salmon family...)

Sorry, for dinner, tonight. We were thinking Sushi Time or Seo, its just too far east.

For lunch or dinner? I gather there is a $25 prix fixe at Yasuda that is a great lunch deal.
