The team behind Crave Fishbar, NYC's first 100% sustainable seafood restaurant, is enhancing their reputation as the go-to fish brand by opening Crave Sushi Bar, directly next door to their midtown location of Crave Fishbar, and in keeping with the ethos of the group, have a focus on sustainable domestic fish.Items such as Local Sea Scallop Nigiri with beurre noisette and celtic sea salt; Kona Kampachi Sashimi - shiso yuzu pesto, topped with popped quinoa; Dressed Hudson Valley Steelhead Trout Sashimi highlight Chef Mitgang’s bold approach to the cuisine.Beverage program is overseen by Brian Owens with a large sake selection, cocktails paired for the food menu, Japanese whiskys, and tequila, which Owens believes is a great pairing.The space is centered by a sushi bar, comfy booths and banquettes with seating for 60 people. Their responsible and ethical sourcing practices carry over into the materials used for the design: weathered metals, textured woods, an oceanic color palette.

    The food was only ok. I ordered a few things that I’m told were best sellers, the crispy rice salmon app and the taro roll, both were really lacking. The crispy rice seemed to have been cooked previously and left to get hard and cold before serving. The taro roll was pretty sad and had an overwhelming flavor of the peppers. I think you could find much better sushi for a better price in the city.

    This is Sushi with capital letters, not your average rolls. Let their staff drive you with their recommendations but don't skip the scallop, OMG!
