Great food, decor and service. To me this is the best Japanese restaurant in town. Pros: Great food!! Cons: price

not worth it 4/29/2004

bond street sushi is not worth the high price you pay to eat there. don't go there if you are hungary cause the portions are minute. if you have a special roll to your liking that you would like to order forget about it cause they will not make it for you. the ambiance was great but thats all bond street sushi had to offer Pros: ambiance Cons: , poor service, way too expensive more

Top Notch 4/18/2004

I've tried many highly-rated sushi places and this one is the best. However, I haven't been to Nobu so perhaps Bondst. is second place. I'm not sure if it's #1 but the sushi is delicious, fresh, and comes paired with wonderful, exotic sauces, which combinations are clearly well thought-out and executed. Pros: Sushi, Drinks, Service more

Don't Bother 3/29/2004

Went to Bond St. on a Monday night to try the sushi. Upon seating, was very rushed by the waitress. Tried the Omakase menu sashimi and although the fish was good, the portions were pitiful. Been to Nobu and Blue Ribbon many times and have always left full and extremely satisfied ... left Bond St. and wanted to go to Wendy's (ended up at Magnolia Bakery.) Especially disappointing was the otoro. All in all, this place is a joke. DON'T BOTHER ... too many other good Japanese restaurants in NYC. Cons: , Waitstaff, Seating more

They Were Right!!! 1/27/2004

I have a few well heeled friends that frequent all of the best that NYC has to offer...Il Mulino, Nobu, Etc...and they were right. I was told to prepare for an outstanding sushi experience and this place was a ""can't miss"". The staff and ambiance were understated, yet gorgeous. The ""front door"" staff was courteous and treated my party with more attention than I expect, and of course the sushi was second to none. I can now go to Nobu for the entrees and save my sushi ""jones"" for Bond St. Pros: food, ambiance, staff more

some w(h)ine with that? 1/20/2004

It was somewhere between our waiter not knowing what sushi came as part of the tasting platter and the copious amounts of wine that he spilt while trying to pour me a taste that I realized...the service here? not so great. This was followed by various wacky hijinks: overly sweet foie de gras, lack of extra ginger/soy sauce, minute portions even for sushi, appetizers arriving at different times...I could go on, but reliving the experience traumatizes me. just say no. more

leaves you feeling empty 12/21/2003

Well, this place was one of the selections for the girls' and I monthly G.N.O dinner....but it sort of sux that we wanted pizza after dining here. (well most of us) i guess if you're Cameron Diaz, a Supermodel, or simply watching your weight, then it's the place for you. But if you're a normal eater, well just pack a sub or something in your purse. The good thing is that it never fails to come up in conversation when we are all together so although, we were empty in the bellie, our mouths are full of talk about how hungry we were. Pros: Ambience, Taste of the Food, Service Cons: Portions of the Food more

seems played out... 11/30/2003

the sushi was good and the service was not as bad as some would have you think but the crowd was more business than hip, more wall st. than style. big tables in the corner were great for six of us. more

Wow 11/22/2003

Definately one of the best sushi restaurants in NYC. The blue fin tuna, good portion. The bleu cheese tuna was out of this world. If you go I would definitely recommend a sushi omakase. The live eel, lobster all excellent. Very creative rolls. The arugula roll is very creative and delicious. Also great sushi specials. The regular food was definitely not worth it. I wasn't sure if I was eating shortribs or cardboard. The chawanmushi was just wrong. The desserts were spectacular. I had a strawberry custard cake which blew my mind it was so good. Creme caramel was perfect as well as a sesame apple dessert. The Maitre'd was very polite. more

ON IT'S WAY OUT? 11/21/2003

Bond Street has been serving very good sushi for many years to an increasingly less hip crowd. The reservationists and hosts can be a bit off-putting and arrogant, given how uncrowded they can be, but the bar can be quite the scene and your date will be impressed. The sushi bar area is particularly fun to dine in because the sushi chefs great you loudly and cheerfully as you arrive and depart. Get points by making a reservation via Open Table (which indicates just how desperate they are getting but Bond St. will always be around). Pros: Food, Ambience, Romantic Cons: Service, Expensive, Losing Luster more

Awesome! 10/13/2003

The only problem I had with Bond Street was that it was hard to find, as a tourist. Besides that, I think it was some of the best sushi i have ever had. The service was great and we were seated promptly even though we were approximately an hour late. If you are single and hoping to mingle, I would definitely recommend sitting downstairs. Upstairs is nice but much quiter and the tables are too far apart to talk to any beautiful ladies sitting nearby. The longe in the basement was packed with beautiful people and we had a great time there as well. more

Shabby Street 8/22/2003

For what you pay, Bond Street failed to impress, the Sushi on the night was average. The wait to get a table was outrageous, and the waiters need to start using what few brain cells they have instead of hoping to be asked to be the next Calvin Klein model more

delicious 7/21/2003

I always come here with a frame of mind. First of all the sushi is great and with that i can understand the place can be crowded and busy. So i can live with a little wait, especially with the cute guys waiting by the bar. Pros: great sushi, cool people Cons: little wait, reservations a must more

Fancy Sushi 6/27/2003

This place is one of my favorite sushi places but not because of the sushi. The atmosphere is very trendy and the people very chic. The sushi is pretty good but not what you come for. You come for the scene and the people watching. Tables are really close together but that shouldn't stop you from chatting up the cuties next to you. Of course with any ""Hot"" scene, its gonna cost you a pretty penny. Pros: Hot Scene, Calming Decor Cons: Expensive more

A Bit Overrated 6/5/2003

As far as the food goes, it is inventive, but certainly not excellent. And the service was indeed shoddy. We asked for a birthday cake for a friend, which was completely dismissed. When we asked the waited what happened to the missing cake, he shrugged his shoulders and walked away... It's unfortunate the service can ruin this place. more

The service sucks! 6/4/2003

I took my significant other to this place for a birthday dinner the other night, and it was a disaster! Anyway, the food was admittedly delicious, but during the meal a waiter accidentally slammed my significant other in the head with his elbow. He barely apologized and when we confronted him about it, was very defensive and tried to say that it was our fault. We called over the manager, who was apologetic and sent over a free dessert and free drinks, but this did not make up for a ruined birthday dinner and a sore head. Even putting this incident aside, the service was at best, spacey and indifferent, and at worst, arrogant, and full of itself. They need more professionals and fewer black-clad actors with self-consciously mussed haircuts. This place needs to get over itself. It isn't 1999 any more! Cons: service, service, service more

A Great Night! 5/18/2003

Went to Bond Street last night and had a fantastic time. We were seated promptly and were honored, without any trouble, a table change. We did not have the same experience other reviewers have had with the service at all. Everyone was prompt and more than polite, particularly the manager, although I can't remember her name. The food was incredibly good and the portions were hardly stingy. No one at our table was able to finish their meal! After at least 15 drinks for 4 people, two appetizers each, two entrees, scores of sushi and caviar, two desserts, and expresso the bill came to 400.00 without tip. I'd highly recommend it for a special birthday! Pros: Close Parking, Prompt Seating, Service & Food more

Incredible!!! 3/30/2003

Bond Street has some of the most incredible sushi you will ever put in your mouth!! Ambiance could be better, and it is pricey, but the food makes up for all of this. INCREDIBLE! Pros: FOOD, Service more

Hip and Fun 3/13/2003

Lots of fun at this trendy, hip restaurant. I've heard of the bad service but it actually was incredibly good. They seated us and actully added 1 more to the table last second. The bartenders were friendly while I waited and the food was good. It was spaced out (we had the 80pp), toro appetizer was so smooth, we had quail, numerous sushi, soup, pumpin puree and more. It just kept coming. All in all for 4 people w/tip came out to $500, not bad at all. more

'tude maki 3/12/2003

Perhaps I was there on an off-night, but I had a terrible experience at Bond Street. While at first glance the ambience appears chic, the obnoxious service and cramped seating destroy any and all luster of ""coolness"". The hostess ""didn't know we still wanted to eat"" after we waited at the bar for over an hour and she skipped right over our name on the list. After being seated and what felt like an eternity for us to receive our food, the sushi was surprisingly decent. It was enjoyed, however, on a 2 x 2 table for 3 people as 2 of us sat crammed on the end of a bench and the third on a mini-stool. The crowning moment, however, was when the hostess rolled her eyes at us when we asked for change paying our bill. I was wholly unimpressed with this place. Pros: Sesami shrimp roll Cons: Service, Service, Cramped seating more

Editorial

  • BondSt has been in Noho long enough to have earned a reputation. Some know it as the celebrity hangout it was in its early days. Most know it for the exquisite sushi of Shigeru Mikami. But few realize that executive chef Marc Spitzer's catch-driven menu of modern Japanese cuisine is the main event. Whether it's Hama-Hama oysters lightly smoked in hickory or pork belly braised in miso and served with artichoke foam and powderized olive oil, his dishes feel inventive and intuitive--different approaches to a familiar food that make you wonder why it isn't always served that way. Spitzer also collaborates with barman Warren Hode on the other best reason to visit: the cocktails. Ingredients you won't find at any other bar (cherry blossoms, shiso, shisito peppers, candied seaweed, pickled ginger) are mixed with inventive spirits (nori-infused Yamasaki whiskey, toasted sesame rum) in re-inventions of classic cocktails, like an old-fashioned made with agave nectar and yuzu bitters, that, like the food, instantly make perfect sense.
