SUteiShi

We really like Suteishi which is a great option if you're feeling like fresh fish when you're in seaport. It's located on a fairly quiet corner and in the warmer seasons it's nice to sit and look out at the view of the street and Brooklyn bridge. The food was great, we ordered a variety of sushi and everything was very flavoursome and innovative. They also have great cocktails. The staff were friendly and had a chat with us during dinner which was great.

One of my favorite sushi restaurants, hands down. As a self proclaimed sushi snob, I've frequented SUteiShi about a dozen times and have never had a bad experience. I wouldn't necessarily say I have a favorite, but will note the consistency of very fresh fish, speciality items and overall ingredients being top notch. I've fallen in love with the avocado Kani salad and this has become mandatory for any visit. Don't let the price point or size of the portions derail you from this amazing sushi experience.

A Pleasant surprise.The food was great , the grill eggplant starter was excellent as well as 3 large roles .Fantastic service and cool off the Fidi location .If you around I definitely recommend !!!

I have heard of this spot for several years, and I finally ordered takeout for dinner. I ordered the Salmon Yaki Udon to go. The dish was very freshly made, and it remained warm after my 90-minute commute home. The dish was a good portion for two people and tasty even for the toddler. A few days later, I had an impromptu omakase dinner 8 pieces of sushi plus a specialty roll for under $60 as I try to figure out how to get home since downtown express buses were canceling and rerouted thanks to the UN Summit. I enjoyed my meal plus the staff and Yelp offered free sake. I had the cocktail sake, hot sake made in-house, and the overflowing shot of Soto sake. The specialty rolls are definitely worth trying. I had the Orange Dragon Roll, which was very good. I also ordered the blue crab dumplings. It was ok but much needed after all the sake consumed. The next day, I ordered takeout for lunch, and I just had to get the SuteiShi Pearl Roll made with fried oysters, cucumber, Kani, and House spicy mayo. This roll hit the spot, and the oysters were perfectly fried. I'd definitely return to take more of their specialty rolls and maybe explore their happy hour, if available.

I would give a 3.5 if I could, but rounding up since nothing was particularly bad about the meal. My partner and I stopped by as we were in the area and in the mood for sushi. We ordered shrimp shumai and 3 rolls, which were all good but a bit overpriced.The prices on their website are a little outdated, so when we got there, it was a bit pricier than we had anticipated.

It's absolutely amazing. Best sushi I've ever had. Never had sashimi before. It wasn't bad. A bit interesting.

Highlights: service and ambianceLowlights: the foodLocated on a very cute stone street near the south street seaport, SUteishi brings a trendy flare to basic Japanese cuisine. And while we weren't impressed, we did appreciate the kind service & fun location. This is my 3rd time coming here and I will say that they are consistent! The quality has not dwindled and things seem to improve each time I dine in. However, the food never leaves a memorable mark on me. It's good! Not great. Definitely not bad. The chicken teriyaki was a great portion size with white breast meat. Not my favorite, but the presentation was very nice. Rice bowl was little dry unfortunately. Edamame and fried oysters got the job done. The sashimi platter was eye catching and super fun. The fish was fresh - not the best ever though. It didn't melt in my mouth like I hoped it would. I found myself chewing a lot and pulling apart stringy pieces at times. The sushi rolls were also good but not great. Everything was prepared so well, but we just weren't into it. SUteishi will fix your Japanese food craving & it's a great date/meetup spot. However, the food was nothing to write home about.

We stopped here after we sat down for a few drinks at pier 17 and we were craving sushi. It was a perfect summer evening for outdoor seating. Tip: remember to check in on Yelp and claim your free hot sake. We ordered the orange Dragon speciality roll and two regular rolls. The sushi was fresh and well put together. I'd definitely go back. The pricing is fairly decent too.

I was shocked by how bad this was tonight and how poor the customer service was. We've ordered from here many times and it's been fine. The raw fish tonight tasted like it came straight out of the Hudson River, sat around for 3 days, and was sold by SUteiShi at an egregious price. We ordered spicy salmon, salmon skin, spicy yellowtail, and the King of NY rolls ($28!), on top of some pieces of raw sushi. Yellowtail tasted like it came out of a can of tuna. Even the cooked crab roll tasted horribly fishy and inedible. The salmon skin was NASTY and you could smell it before you even put it in your mouth. Being fairly loyal customers, we called to ask if we could get any type of refund or acknowledgement as we spent $130 on our order and it went in the garbage. They said the chef says he handled the fish by protocol.... Whatever that means. They also said the manager wasn't in so they didn't know what to do - mind you, it's a Saturday night. Side note - they put a piping hot miso soup in with the raw fish when I went to pick it up so the fish was warm when we got it. Disgusting. There were 2 tables in there when I went to pick my order up. Figures! Will not be back and will no longer be suggesting this place to anyone in the area. For these prices, you're much better off going to Blue Ribbon Sushi down the street.

Food was very good. Specialty rolls were A+Service was informative and friendly. The outside space is
