Sendo

8.4/10Japanese

AI-generated summary

This is the cheap people recommend, with around $3 a piece and sets in the $30s and $40s. Walk in only, no reservations, and a Friday night wait can run two hours. The repeated complaint is too many repeat pieces and small ones. Lunch is much quieter.

  • replying to u/ervsve: Yeah, as a nerd who’s visited Tsukiji multiple times (both before and after the move), it’s always hard for me to get excited about sushi in NYC. Honestly, when I’m in a sushi mood these days, I usually just hit up Sugarfish or KazuNori—yeah, I know, basic bitch vibes. I get that it’s not omakase, but to me, omakase should be reserved for special occasions. I don’t need the whole song and dance every time—just give me delicious fish and a cold beer, and I’m happy.

    just yummy and fresh fish, and don’t insult me with warm mushy rice. I like the fast seatings, counter, the set options, and no magician tricks like flames or smoke

  • i think its great value sushi tbh. i dont know anywhere that is selling nigiri of that quality at ~$3/piece.

  • Super fresh but pieces were small and there are far too many repeats and not stand out pieces. Not bad but just meh.

  • overall not a fan. i also wouldn't call this edo style which is their main selling point. overall not a bad spot per se, but i wont be going back

  • replying to u/dancetothiscomment: I’ve gotten it before and they gave you way too many repeat pieces and not enough variety I feel like it’s random even when I’ve dined in once it was a ton of different pieces and then another time it was like 10 things of tuna

    The fish quality was fine actually pretty good. But you’re 100% right on the repeat pieces.

  • replying to u/ervsve: HAHAHA, you’ve definitely come to the wrong thread, buddy! But hey, I think someone shared a highly-rated spot further down. Omakase is great, but as we’ve discussed, the market is super saturated right now. If you’re going to drop the cash, make sure you pick a really good one. Or, you could just be lazy and basic like me and hit up KazuNori or Sugarfish. They’re cheap, easy, and always delicious. That said, please don’t flame me for mentioning them—I know they’re chains and definitely not the best. But honestly, $40 for six rolls and a beer? Hard to beat.

    Sendo is on another level at the same price.
