Sushi Ishikawa Upper West Side New York Reviews from The Last Year
This place was phenomenal! I haven't had many omakase spots
This place was phenomenal! I haven't had many omakase spots but I think this is my favorite restaurant. These are some of my favs! The service was amazing! Be careful when you are looking for the location. It is easy to miss!
The quality and taste of each offering was sensational.
The chef and the server were personable, informative and gracious. My guest and I look forward to returning. I am a Sushaholic who has lived, worked and travelled in Asia.

This is by far my favorite sushi spot in the city and the place I take all my friends I'm trying to impress! Chef Don Pham has created an exquisite, seasonal menu that far surpasses all other sushi spots in the city. Each piece was decadent and unique with unique toppings (i.e. chili jam, miso-marinated barley, shiso tempura) and premium ingredients (multiple types of uni, truffle, wagyu, toro, caviar, etc). If you want traditional omakase though, this is not for you. You'll leave full after the omakase meal which includes dessert and yuzu sake! Highly recommend- the service and food is top notch!
Have been many times and love everything about it here.
The staff is always friendly and inviting. The space is great. The sushi is always excellent and a mix of their signature pieces and whatever is fresh and in season. All things considered, the price is super reasonable and I think is the best trade off of quality vs. price of pretty much anywhere. Looking forward to going back soon!
One of the best sushi experiences we've ever had, the chefs
One of the best sushi experiences we've ever had, the chefs were super cool and made the entire experience worth remembering. Highly recommended for anyone that likes a good omakase. We look forward to coming back soon!
Everything was fantastic.
I'm a big fan of creative omakase and this is it. Lots of aburi which I like. One dish was fried soft shell crab with uni on top. So good. Atleast 5 pieces had globs of Ossetra caviar on them. I think 4 had uni on them. There was wagyu powder. Lots of black truffle and truffle salt. There was torched foi gras. You get the picture, it's not traditional sushi by any means. But it's fun and inventive and very extravagant. You get a dessert and two glasses of champagne ( per couple) if it's your birthday or anniversary. Chef was very nice. Only complaint was the music was pretty lane. 2000s hits. Hey Delilah played. Overall a great opulent time.
Honestly.
this is the best restaurant in nyc. The sushi is the highest quality I ever had and the flavor combinations are 10x beyond anything I have ever experienced. I can't say enough about this place. The price per person might seem high but the quality of ingredients in each piece of sushi makes this place a complete steal. 15/10 do not miss out!
Excellent service and sushi.
Very unique experience and tasting menu. Small number of seats.
Absolutely no words for how good this place was- a friend
Absolutely no words for how good this place was- a friend brought me here for my birthday dinner & we were literally blown away start to finish. It's a super unassuming place - located below street level- but once you're inside it's a very intimate 12 or so counter seating. All the staff were so kind and attentive. We've been to a lot of omokase spots in NY, but hands down this is our new favorite. Every piece was a unique innovative combination of flavors but the best part was that none of it took away from the actual taste of the fish and you can tell that each piece was incredibly fresh. I also absolutely love uni & there were like 3 or 4 different types of uni throughout this meal so bonus points from me! The entire meal is 17 courses and we were STUFFED at the end. Writing this review a little bit after our meal so I don't even remember all the exact pieces but highly highly recommend everyone to check this spot out!
I have to preface this review by saying that I am usually a
I have to preface this review by saying that I am usually a boring, hidebound sushi traditionalist. I do not enjoy, and have never enjoyed, new fangled "American" sushi like Sushi of Gari or other places of that ilk, where toppings and sauces are often used to obscure less-than-prime neta. For perspective, uber traditionalist Eiji Ichimura has been my longtime favorite sushi itamae in NYC (though my Pardner is less fond than I am of things like shiokara -- salted fish guts -- that Ichimura-san likes to pull out on occasion for favored customers). But.... a recent meal at Sushi Ishikawa (omakase only, 17 courses; $175*) may have won me over to the dark side. Itamae Don Pham's food is not traditional, edomae-style sushi, but each piece is created with an understanding of tradition. Pham-san draws on all his roots -- training as a classical sushi itamae and familiarity with fine Vietnamese and French dining -- to produce food that is utterly unique and exceptional. He pays a lot of attention to textures and progression, serving milder-tasting, more simply-prepared fish first before moving on to fattier, more strongly-flavored and more complexly-garnished nigiri. A number of nigiri were as decadent as a dessert, with layers upon layers of umami-laden flavor (think foie gras, molecular gastronomy-esque wagyu powder, caviar, uni from San Diego and Hokkaido, truffles, etc...). Pham-san makes liberal use of his butane torch. (To be honest, I would, too, if I had one. Those things look fun!) I admit there were times when I just wanted to taste the fish by itself or otherwise deconstruct the components of an eight-ingredient piece of nigiri because everything was of good to excellent quality -- but in no case did the overall bite disappoint. Although most nigiri were made with run of the mill wasabi paste, several special pieces included real wasabi root -- freshly grated from a huge, beautiful, pristinely fresh piece -- and that was a lovely touch. Shari is cooler and pressed / compacted slightly more than some itamae serve it. I imagine that is in part for structural stability as the neta became more and more complex. Neta to shari ratios were perfect in my book. I can't end this review without noting that the staff's sense of hospitality is absolutely amazing. Pham-san is probably the most approachable, entertaining, kind, and non-judgmental sushi itamae and oyakata in NYC and it was as much a pleasure to enjoy his company as it was to eat his food. His right-hand woman in front of the counter (Nita IIRC?) was witty and wonderful, as well -- and also firm! She quickly reprimanded me for flipping a nigiri piece upside down to eat early in the meal. It doesn't work for this style of well-topped nigiri. At some point, we asked what some white powdery stuff was on a piece (wagyu powder). She joked that it was cocaine. The digs are unusual. It's a basement space that's wedged in next to a balloon specialist (fun to watch if you show up a few minutes early for dinner and wait at the door). Don't be discouraged by first appearances. Once you enter the sliding door, the restaurant within is a beautiful, elegant oasis of deliciousness and fun. :) We cannot wait to go again!! * No pun intended, but this is bargain basement pricing for an omakase meal of this quality.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been βmatchedβ with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
What happens if no one accepts your bid?

Getting a Refund
I'm reaching out for some guidance on a recent experience I had with a Resy reservation at 4Charles purchased Appointment Trader.
Upon arriving for my reservation, I was surprised to find that there was no record of the booking under the name provided in my AT purchase. I've already initiated a refund, but I haven't received any updates except the suggestion to check my purchase details and open a refund inquiry.
If anyone has successfully navigated a similar situation and could share their insights, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
