Douska, conceived by acclaimed Japanese Chef Koji Kagawa, is a neighborhood gem in the Lower East Side. Initially celebrated for its hand rolls, Douska has expanded to include a curated selection of crudos, traditional sushi rolls, and crispy rice dishes. Pair your meal with an array of Japanese sake or beer for a complete experience. The service is quick and attentive, with hand rolls delivered directly by the sushi chefs. Douska is also a great spot for a reasonably priced omakase. Conveniently located at the corner of Delancey and Allen, it's the perfect casual first stop for a night out, any day of the week.
“My favorite casual hand roll spot on the Lower East Side. The music is always bumping, the vibe is laid-back, and the food is consistently fresh and delicious. It’s one of those easy go-to spots I keep coming back to, it just always hits. If you’re in the area and want something quick, fun, and really good, this is the spot.”
“Douska Sushi is absolutely amazing! The freshness and quality of the fish are top-notch, and every dish is beautifully prepared with attention to detail. The atmosphere is cozy and modern, perfect for a dinner with friends or a date night. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes every visit feel special. Easily one of the best sushi spots around — highly recommend!”
“I love the handroll focus of this place. Every item came out with perfectly crispy nori and super fresh fish. Some really fantastic flavor combinations - pastrami style trout, Hamachi with black truffle, tuna and foie gras.”
“A neighborhood restaurant recommended to me by a Japanese friend. The ingredients are pretty good and is solid for the price, but still a bit more expensive than I expected for a casual spot. We went on a Friday night and they were soon filled after 7pm with people waiting in line. They have a lot of Japanese alcohol available too so I think some come for that.”
“came in here to use the restroom but i at least wanted to buy smth to be a paying customer. cheapest item was edamame $7, so we went with that. we tried asking about other menu items but they didn’t understand so we were left to google as an answer. when we went to order a hand roll we were told we’re supposed to to order before 10pm.. it says douska after hours 10pm-2am. it was overall confusing. then when going to pay the lady said it was a 10$ minimum.. everyone knows they make that up for their tax cut, and nowhere did it say on a sign that theres a minimum with card. luckily we had cash but they missed out on the opportunity of a tip.. why have an item for 7$ if its a 10$ minimum? just make it 10$ lol. took pics to show that nowhere does it say a minimum. staff was nice but if there was more clarification then it would be a better experience. even for the edamame i asked what it comes with, he said salt and its sweet sugar?”
