Sushi 35 West: Hole in the Wall Making NYC's BEST SUSHI!

  • NYC has some of the best sushi outside of Japan. Restaurants like Masa and Sushi Nakazawa are famous Michelin star restaurants. But what if I told you that NYC's best sushi was not at any of these fancy Michelin star sushi restaurants, and it was actually at a hole in the wall? That's right! Sushi 35 West is an absolute hidden gem. It's on the second floor of a retail shop and it's extremely hidden and inconspicuous. If you're looking for a NYC hidden gem there is no New York City hidden gem more hidden than this, or more of a NYC hole in the wall than this. Don't be fooled by its humble appearance though, all the chefs at Sushi 35 West used to work at the world famous Masa sushi. The three Michelin Star Masa in New York City was opened by the world renowned chef Masa Takayama and it is the only sushi restaurant in America to have three Michelin stars. It's widely regarded as one of the best restaurants in the world. This fame, however, has resulted in the restaurant charging a whopping $1,000 per person! Crazy!
    However, don't fret! You can eat food prepared by former Masa chefs at Sushi 35 West! This Hidden Gem, one block away from Penn Station, uses all of the techniques at Masa. The fish is meticulously selected, stored, and prepared. All of their menu items are amazing, particularly their salmon nigiri and their ikura nigiri. They also offer toro nigiri, a "toro toro" roll, and affordable omakase.
    Craving 3-Michelin star sushi in New York City? Don't want to pay 3-Michelin star prices? Well you don't have to! Sushi 35 West makes some of the best sushi in New York City. It also makes affordable sushi in NYC. Good and cheap is not necessarily mutually exclusive!
    So if you're craving cheap omakase but you also want some of the best sushi in NYC, or dare I say some of the best sushi in the USA, or dare I say some of the best sushi in the world even, hit up Sushi 35 West! It is one of NYC's best secret restaurants and one of the best NYC secret eats around. I hope you enjoy the NYC sushi review as well as the NYC sushi mukbang!

    the cheap wasabi from a tube is often nothing more than horseradish with a tiny bit of wasabi to make it appear green. sometimes theres not even any wasabi in them

      The green color is from food coloring.
      There isn't any real wasabi in it.
