Amazing quality fish with a perfect view and seating area! The open kitchen was a nice touch making the dining experience more authentic. BBQ eel roll was by far one of the best eel sushi rolls I have tasted!

First time at this sushi place but my father in law comes here all the time apparently. They have a happy hour special so stop by after work. The sushi place has two tables that are on the floor style where you remove your shoes and then there are regular tables along with a rather large sushi counter. I really love the large Japanese flags that hang on the wall. The staff are super nice and attentive. They wear masks. We had some yummy appetizers such as the takoyakis which were very delicious, crisp and soft on the inside with not too much sauce. Had their crispy rice with tuna on top that was so yummy too. Beef Negamaki was just ok. The sushi was so good from the salmon to yellowtail to beef topped sushi and the lobster roll so good! I really think the quality of the sushi is good here. Will definitely be back.

I found Sushi Sen-Nin by walking across the street from my hotel (Hilton). They have an outdoor seating option on the street which is covered but I chose to sit inside. I'm dining alone and it felt comfortable eating at a table for two where I can check everyone out and what they're ordering! I first ordered Black Cod Misozaki (marinated in Miso & lightly grilled (I think). It was delicious and prepared with delicately sliced avocado and ikura eggs (salmon roe). Highly recommend as an appetizer. Then I ordered Ikura and Uni sushi (waiter said it was from California). Of course it was also delicious and tasty! I had it all with a glass of Pino Gris

Food/Drinks: 5/5 We stumbled upon this restaurant on a random weekday after work. Their sign advertised a happy hour that was past 6 pm and we were sold! Thee $$$ on yelp had me shook for a minute but everything is decently priced. It felt more like $$. Happy Hour is only on the beer and sake but it didn't disappoint. The cocktails were normal price and the lychee martinis is absolutely delicious! The presentation was also super cute - he shook up the drink and poured it out infant of us. My partner and I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki and 3 sets of rolls: set of Philly Rolls, California rolls, and Avocado Rolls. Each roll came in a tray of 6 small rolls but it was surprinsingly filling. Service: 3/5 We were greeted and welcomed into thee restaurant promptly. Our server answered all of our questions and presented everything nicely. Everything was great but it seemed like after we got our food, all of the wait staff disappeared. Eventually, they came back and we are able to get the check. Vibe: 4/5 Upon walking in there was only 1 other group seated, which contrary to popular belief was not SUS! A few more groups came in after we were seated. This is a great place for groups or also a small part of 2 or solo dining. There are these cute nooks that are slightly hidden in the wall like a cubby. We sat here and it felt like a private dinner. The interior is equipped with beautiful traditional Japanese seating and typical American seating.

Came here with a party of 4 on a weekday night and the place wasn't crowded at all so it was nice that it was on the quieter side. All the food we got is shown here and the sashimi definitely tasted great. The salmon and chicken teriyaki were alright and the appetizers were pretty good. The service was great as our server came back to check in and fill our waters at just the right times. Definitely recommend if you're looking for tasty sashimi and a la carte sashimi options.

This is one of my friends favorite restaurants. He's been insisting I come here for over a year. Last night I finally dropped by and was glad I did. It is a bit of a different vibe from other omakase centric sushi restaurants in New York but is delicious. The roles are gigantic, my girlfriend and I split an appetizer and three roles and were full. The service is great, very good neighborhood spot Seemed to be a lot of dates going on here, one girl next to us told her date she was about to get liposuction.

Solid family-owned sushi spot in Midtown (especially if you have a group!) I know everyone's in love with east village and wants to go to tiny izakaya counter bars, but, if you want some solid sake options and good fish, this is your midtown go to. Their unassuming front door opens up into a rather large and spacious interior, and there's well-made outside seating for open air dining if you're still worried about COVID stuff. If you've ever been to Japan, the interior may be a fun throwback. Sen-nin's menu runs from fun creative items like the fish tacos (my recommendation is the spicy tuna- not too spicy, and you do not need to dip in soy sauce. Consume as is, and enjoy the finely chopped fish and crunchy taco), to classic hand pressed nigiri sushi we all know, to some lesser known but equally classic Japanese rolls, like the kanpyo, a sort of marinated gourd. Simple but nostalgic, for many. My guilty pleasure is their oyster shot (shooter?) , and when they have it, the uni. The brinyness of the seafood with the delicate sweetness of the sake is...decadent. Take a deep breath, slurp it all in one go. Don't knock it til you try it ;) There are other fun Japanese flavor-inspired cocktails if oyster isn't your thing. Service may not be *the* fastest but it's always friendly and with a smile. Take your time, enjoy your sushi and your company.

Last minute search for sushi spot that's open on Monday brought us to Sushi Sen-nin. The large open room is decorated with large banners with fishing scenes. No one was sitting at the large sushi bar. We had a table that was separated from the adjoining table with a wooden screen. We were glad the guy left within minutes of our sitting down. We each had a Chirashi bowl. Each negiri had a topping of different spice levels. I took them off to enjoy the taste of the fish. I'd order no toppings next time. The fish quality was very good.

Ordered takeout from here as part of the covid version of restaurant week, and it was great! Every part of the sushi bento box was delicious, except maybe the plastic tray. I especially liked the gyoza, really flavorful and a nice warm contrast to the other cold dishes. The nigiri was also excellent, with interesting toppings for each type of fish. Definitely recommend this place!
