Here is his ranking of the top 5 sushi restaurants in NYC:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sasabune NYC \u2013 When you enter the restaurant you are welcomed by a \u201cTrust Me\u201d sign, and trust you should.

In addition to the fabulous cuisine, this restaurant also provides great ambiance and service<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tanoshi \u2013 Another top NYC sushi bar is Tanoshi. Like Sansabune, Tanoshi serves an omakase menu, which features 10 pieces of sushi, one roll and one hand roll. If you\u2019re not in the mood for sushi, enjoy the great fish selection, including marinated salmon roe, scallop and uni.
