Sushi By M - Upper East Side

“Came here on Friday to celebrate my fiancée’s birthday with a group of four, and Sushi by M absolutely delivered. We opted for the $100 omakase, and it was a masterclass in freshness. Every course felt unique, and we even discovered a few new favorite fish. The hospitality was a highlight. The staff was incredibly attentive and surprised us with a heart-shaped sushi creation while playing "Birthday" by 2 Chainz, which really made the night. The atmosphere is pleasant and welcoming. We will definitely be back!”

“My boyfriend and I dined here back in September 2025, and it was nothing short of an outstanding, professional experience. The fish quality was thoroughly impressive--unique dishes with variety and such freshness to every piece. We let them know we were celebrating a special occasion, and outside of our personalized interactions with the chef, they provided us with an extra course to celebrate. Such a great experience, and I will definitely be back for more!”

“I had an exceptional omakase experience at Sushi by M – Upper East Side, and a huge part of what made it memorable was Chef Leo and his mastery of the craft. Chef Leo brings an impressive depth of knowledge that clearly comes from his 10-year culinary journey. Every piece he served reflected precision, intention, and a deep respect for ingredients. The 12-piece omakase paired with a hand roll was beautifully curated—each bite distinct, balanced, and thoughtfully paced. What truly elevated the experience was how engaging and welcoming he was. It wasn’t just about eating sushi; it was about understanding it. Getting to know him, hearing about his process, and even recording parts of the experience made it feel personal and immersive rather than transactional. You can tell Chef Leo genuinely loves what he does, and that passion translates directly onto the plate. If you’re looking for an omakase that combines technical excellence, storytelling, and warmth, this is absolutely the place—and Chef Leo is someone worth sitting in front of. Highly recommend. 🍣✨”
