Saishin

“Sushi anywhere else is ruined forever. That's how great this experience was. Each piece of Omakase was more and more phenomenal. The chefs are true artists and the attentive, familial service from Ria was just bar none, the best of the best. The atmosphere, view, and styling was so unique and high quality. The whole staff were so generous with everything they treated us with. We spent out engagement celebration here and it will be a memory we cherish forever. Worth every penny.”

“Went here for a late Valentine's Day dinner for the 19 course Omakase and Saishin exceeded our expectations!!! Chef Patrick and Server Sebastian were outstanding. Their knowledge of the food was beyond evident. The food was high quality, fresh and a spectrum of flavors. Even the eggs were imported from Japan. They made our dinner experience fun and intimate. We will absolutely be coming back. Oh and the view was spectacular.”

“Had an excellent time at Saishin! Service was excellent. Daniel was amazing. Service was only topped by the food. Everything was fresh and one of the better omakase experiences I’ve had. Only critique would be the drinks selection. I would’ve preferred more option’s particularly with standard liqour. Hope they get a more open selection of drinks. It’s pricey but the food and service are up to par.”

“I came and brought my parents here for a nice rooftop dinner in NY. However we ended up with an incredibly long dinner that wasn’t very satiating but still very expensive. The courses were standard with nothing really standing out. The kitchen had a huge delay that day so our food took what felt like an hour to arrive, so we started getting hungry between each course. This seemed like a one time accident though, since our following courses were slow but not nearly as slow as the first few. Considering the price point and most of the roof shuttered behind plastic, it’s just not worth it.”

“The service felt very rushed and we were told we had two hours (which is fine? And also it’s a set menu so I felt like the pace wasn’t really up to us) We went for the Valentine’s Day special, but the food seemed to have been catering style due to how lukewarm some of the dishes were. (Instance the fried fish). The ingredients didn’t seem very fresh and was overdosed with soy sauce. Furthermore I also got a bone in my amberjack sashimi AND a fish scale in one of my later nigiris. This has never happened in any of the other tens of other omakase shops I’ve been to in the city. I’ve also never seen ginger at any Japanese shop that is chopped like a daikon? Is this what they mean by fusion? (See attached) I’m not sure why exactly there was a ton of lime juice or equivalent in the panna cotta dessert, and overall the taste seems off. The chefs also did not follow the order listed on the menu. I’m not trying to be picky here but it seems like nothing went well? Anyway we left and decided to go home and cook another dinner instead since we were also still hungry 🤷‍♀️ New York has so many other restaurants that are not only cheaper, but won’t stab you in the mouth with a fish bone. I’d highly advise that you go elsewhere Valentine’s Day or not.”
