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 of Gari always amazes us with their beautifully displayed dishes and delicate pieces of the freshest fish in town! Outstanding wait service, delectable dishes and sensational ambiance. Headed to the Sushi of Gari on the UES later this week!

    A great place for a special occasion, but the food is so good you wanna make it a regular stop. Some of the best sushi on the upper west side. Fresh fish, innovative flavors and textures, and sumptuous presentation.

    Omakase is inspired. Entire staff — front entry hostess, service staff, master sushi chefs — is wonderful, helpful, and kind as can be.  Absolutely our favorite sushi place in the city, and has been for 15 years.

    Sushi of Gari was the perfect place to meet a friend on a Tuesday night. Smooth sake, tuna topped with creamy tofu, salmon with tomato, red snapper with Thai salad, and crunchy eel were among our favorite signature pieces. And a classic yellowtail with scallion hand roll was just incredible. Welcoming wait staff, excellent service, quiet and relaxing ambiance and fresh fish served elegantly.
