Sushi of Gari Upper West Side Location, as Gari Columbus. In 1997 Chef Masatoshi “Gari” Sugio opened the first Sushi of Gari and introduced New Yorkers to a new way to enjoy sushi. With the Gari style, no longer was soy sauce the only accompaniment, and in order to get guests to fully enjoy the fish chef added elements of surprise that came in the way of a sauce or other type of topping.

Please note: Sushi Bar reservation is not available online. Please contact the restaurant directly.

    There are hardly enough superlatives to describe our experience at Sushi of Gari. Exquisite sushi with unique and subtle flavor profiles. No need for condiments! Cocktails were expertly prepared as well. And the service was excellent, friendly, prompt, but unrushed. Well worth the splurge!

    A great place for a special occasion, but the food is so good you wanna make it a regular stop. Some of the best sushi on the upper west side. Fresh fish, innovative flavors and textures, and sumptuous presentation.

    Omakase is inspired. Entire staff — front entry hostess, service staff, master sushi chefs — is wonderful, helpful, and kind as can be.  Absolutely our favorite sushi place in the city, and has been for 15 years.
