Tanoshi Sushi Sake Bar: A Culinary Haven for Japanese Cuisine Lovers

Came to Tanoshi for my first omakase experience and was not disappointed. We brought a bottle of white wine for the byob too. Not a walk in so be sure to book. By far the best ratio of fish to rice on a nigiri I’ve ever had. The fish itself was incredibly tender and flavourful. The nori was perfectly crisp on the rolls. My favorites were the shrimp, scallop, salmon, and uni. We had a total of 13 separate courses. They also had many additional items that cost extra. Definitely an incredible experience albeit certainly on the pricey side.

Amazing sushi counter! The quality of the fish is next level and it remains very affordable. I highly recommend!

Delicious sushi in a no frills atmosphere. Service was very good. A bit pricey but well worth the experience given the quality. We opted for the chef guided selection coursed one at a time, then added a few more pieces at the end. Some pieces are traditional and others are very creative, but the fish shines here, not overwhelming sauces, as you may see at some other sushi places. This place is BYOB. Would definitely return.

I had one of the best experiences of my life here. Decided to book myself an early birthday solo adventure and it was worth every penny. The intimate setting made for a more interesting dinner and the fish was top notch. Can’t recommend Tanoshi enough.

This is literally my favorite restaurant in the world. I've been here four times and each time has been amazing. Each piece is better than the last and every time I have left pleasantly full and fully satisfied. It is also BYOB which is great. They provide ice buckets for whatever you've brought and allow you to select from a number of different cups before the meal starts.

I Dream of...Tanoshi Returned last night (after our first visit 4 years ago) and was still blown away by quality and flavors of each piece. I didnt want the meal to end! BYOB and minimal decor really makes this such a NYC best kept secret (altho NOT that secret bc res can be hard to get!) Yes, we trekked from deep Brooklyn to far Upper East Side just for this meal! Thank you, Tanoshi!

This BYOB counter-service authentic Japanese omakase restaurant was everything we hoped for. Our 10 course dinner featured fresh, perfectly seasoned pieces of sushi, served with ample helpings of marinated ginger. We opted for two additional pieces at the end which further reinforced our opinion - this place is the real deal and every bite they serve is truly special. Check out the photos of our meal (only one not taken was the hand roll, last of the 10 courses). Already looking forward to coming back!

My favorite spot for edomae style sushi in NYC now that the jiro place has (sadly) fallen off. Everything in the omakase was great, topped off with my favorite, the XXX (ikura, quail egg and uni). They have a nice selection of additional nigiri you can supplement with after the omakase (some of the choices are repeats from the omakase menu). Service is excellent - it's all counter service with one chef per 4 diners. I also love that it's BYOB so make sure to bring along a nice sake or wine pairing for your meal. They provide glasses and ice buckets.
