“Some of the best sushi and seafood we’ve ever had. Best yellowtail sashimi. Spicy tuna roll with some crunch was a little different than the norm and good. But the sea bass with the miso crust was absolutely unbelievable!!! Super fun, young (we were the oldest people there for sure on a Saturday night), lively, busy, high energy, loud. As long as you’re ok with that vibe, it was an amazing meal and highly recommend! I hope to eat here again.”
“Very quaint spot for a romantic date night or a pre-event dinner with friends. Mood lighting provides the atmosphere while the service makes the restaurant as welcoming as it is attentive. The food is also unique with excellent flavors and spins on traditional Japanese cuisine. Would highly recommend with the note that the prices are on the higher side but as always, you get what you pay for.”
“Outstanding restaurant definitely better than the neighbors directly next to them and also a way better value. Service was fast and attentive to all request. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything we had was five stars. Will be one of my must visit spots when visiting new york.”
“I had an outstanding dining experience at BONDST. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt both elegant and relaxed, creating the perfect setting for an unforgettable evening. The staff was professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making sure every detail was taken care of without being overbearing. The food was simply exceptional. The sushi was among the freshest I’ve ever had in New York, beautifully presented with a balance of flavors that truly stood out. Beyond the sushi, every dish we tried was crafted with precision and creativity, showing the chef’s passion and attention to detail. BONDST is more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Whether for a special occasion, a business dinner, or simply a night out to enjoy outstanding Japanese cuisine, this place delivers on every level. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a first-class dining experience in the city.”
“Hard to get a table even with a reservation. The food is so yummy and the rolls are BIG. One roll is more than enough for me. Get things to share, the appetizers ate so good and the sushi is delicious. The drinks are ok and the dessert is ok. Get the sushi pizza and the crispy rice! Food is consistent and the restaurant has the best vibe. Some of my favorite sushi in nyc but I wouldn’t call it authentic.”
