From Google Maps reviews.
A very good spot for sushi, with affordable prices and nice staffs. This place has been my favorite sushi spot in UES. If you walk by, you might think this is very boring/old place. However, if you taste its sushi! you will change your mind. They carry very fresh quality of sushi and other rolls. Also, offers lunch menu which has enough portions. Staffs are always nice, and I see regular customers all the time here! kids-friendly of course. Outdoor seats are possible when it's nice outside!
I’ve been here countless times already, and to say that the staff is very attentive to their regulars is an understatement. Atmosphere is lively when you come during busy hours and peaceful during downtime but the food’s worth the wait and price regardless. Their lunch special is very affordable too! There really is no miss on the menu but I personally like the Wagyu Roll and Pad Thai.
I had an amazing first-time experience dining in at Sushi Gama! The staff was friendly (Elvin & Elaine took great care of me), service was quick, atmosphere was relaxed and cozy and most importantly...the food was delicious (I had the Any 3 item happy hour deal for only $29 which included a drink)! I sat at he bar top and was able to watch the chef make fresh sushi in front of me while also watching TV. Overall great experience and I'd highly recommend this place to everyone I know! Come check
