Sushi of Gari Upper West Side Location, as Gari Columbus. In 1997 Chef Masatoshi “Gari” Sugio opened the first Sushi of Gari and introduced New Yorkers to a new way to enjoy sushi. With the Gari style, no longer was soy sauce the only accompaniment, and in order to get guests to fully enjoy the fish chef added elements of surprise that came in the way of a sauce or other type of topping.

Please note: Sushi Bar reservation is not available online. Please contact the restaurant directly.

    Sushi Gari on the Upper West Side is a fantastic spot for lunch. The chef was terrific, showcasing incredible skill and attention to detail. The quality of the fish was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. Every bite was a delight. The ambiance is welcoming, making it a perfect place to enjoy a top-tier sushi experience. Highly recommended!

    I love this restaurant but they do nit serve nonalcoholic beer or cocktails. The only non-alcoholic beverages was sodas. I am surprised, particularly during this Dry January.

    While the food was good & the sushi fresh there are better places for Japanese food on the upper west side. I won’t go back.

    Excellent chirashi sushi beautifully presented. Possibly the best sweet egg omelette squares ever, and it’s not generally a favorite of mine.

    Gari is an essential sushi restaurant in New York. Whether you want an elevated omakase or supremely high quality a la carte sushi, they are the first and only option! Forget the gimmicky pop up and overly expensive omakases in the city!

    Thank you so much, Katherine, for your review and showing us your love for the Tribeca location. We really appreciate your review and look forward to seeing you again!
