Extremely Disappointing -- overpriced, overhyped
Decided to order the Omakase because everyone raves about it. It was extremely disappointing. And at 96 dollars per person, the tastelessness created a pall over the dinner. If I am ordering a dish like this I expect to be awed. I was extremely disappointed. The rolls were the saving grace. Spicy tuna, spicy scallop and salmon rolls were above average. If you go, don't trust the chef unless you're willing to throw away money on an underwhelming experience.

Good food but Head Chef is a big loser
The food is very good but the head chef at the bar does nothing to make me return to Gari!!

Great sushi! Sit at the bar.
The sushi is excellent. The east side is much more fun, low key, easier feeling. This one, seems rushed, not relaxed, and the servers look really stressed. Theres a lot of tension here. But if you sit at the sushi bar you will be much happier. There is also nice sushi at tenzan and neo for this neighborhooh. They need a calming envirmentalist to come in and help out, and the sound. Bad for biz convo , cant hear. Sorry. Noise, Servers look stressed, intense experience, not relaxing , not fun at all..no one smiles here , even the customers.

Great sushi
I love Gari, though only eat there for special occasions as it is so expensive. (Well, I only order the Omakase, and at unlimited sushi, it gets pricey.) There have been off nights, but they are unusual at this place. Overall, I think it's fantastic, and you get a special kind of sushi that is unique and wonderful. The seared fatty tuna and the smoked Cod are amazing. The Snapper with salad and pine nuts is refreshing. You won't find an omakase serving quite like this anywhere else.

Fresh, simple and refined; No surprises here
Gari is the modernist's haven. The minimal decor, bright lights, large windows and neutral colors made me feel like I was at the MoMA. The beef short rib appetizer was pretty tasty, but was a little tricky to eat with chopsticks (bits of bone weren't substantial enough to handle). After much effort, we were rewarded with its intense sweet and tangy flavor. The sushi deluxe platter was a simple presentation of 9 pieces of sushi and a toro roll. For $37, you would think to get a bit more "flair." However, I could appreciate the fact that most of those dollars were probably spent towards higher quality produce. The pieces were crisp and clean; they finished nicely and without fishiness. Overall, I had a nice meal. Given the price, it was nothing over the ordinary (in terms of technique or styling). It is definitely a sushi purist's kind of place.Worldwide > United States > New York, NY > Sushi and Japanese Restaurants
