Welcome to Sushi of Gari Upper East Side! This restaurant is the first restaurant specializing in the wonderful taste of Gari Signature Sushi. This restaurant is rather a small establishment, but we offer an amazing Sushi as well as many traditional Japanese dishes. In addition to many very fresh authentic Japanese Sushi, let us surprise you by Gari's originality: some area slightly cooked, or marinated, and served with a variety of home-made sauces or other delicacies which enhance the daily market's freshest seafood, many of which are from Japan especially for Sushi of Gari.

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

    A very nice place to go for conversation and nice meal. I suggest the sushi sashimi on rice piece options. The handrolls are all rice no fish. I got the scallop handroll and there was no scallop in it. The price isn’t great. The fried options were too breaded.

    The best sushi restaurant in NYC bar none. I do prefer the “old way” of serving the omakase, whereby the chef makes exquisite sushi or sashimi and when you are full…you stop vs the 12 piece menu as you will always want more.

    Sushi of Gari is amazing - it’s one of the only high end sushi restaurants allow you to have only part of your table do omakase - and there are multiple omakase menus! Absolutely love this place and will be back!
