Best

I've gone to this restaurant once or twice a year since it opened and always wonder why I don't go more. It can be a bit cozy in there, but you never mind once you get your food....

Worst

I went to Cube 63 with some friends this past Saturday night for a casual birthday dinner. I called the restaurant to tell them that my group was running late due to traffic and t...

sushi so fresh it might swim from your plate 5/28/2005

amazing, tasty, byo, great value. Just some words to describe my numerous visits to cube 63. The owners, and chefs, Ben and Ken are not only masterful chefs but entertainers in their own right, making you feel as if they were cooking for you in their own home. Make a visit and judge for yourself! Pros: great value, wide choice of sushi, BYO more

Best Sushi in Lower East Side 4/22/2005

What a find!I'm originally from the area and boy has it changed. Clinton Street is restaurant row now with many new comers. My husband and I love sushi and decided to give this place a try. Boy did we love it! Although we did not have a reservation for Fri, we sat at the sushi bar and truly had a wonderful experience! Chefs are great! Very funny. Sushi is very well presented and very fresh! We will definitely be back with a bottle in tow next time! Pros: fresh sushi, ambience, inexpensive Cons: very small, byob, noisy more

Cube 63 is AMAZING! 4/11/2005

I found Cube 63 on City Search, and I'm so glad I decided to check this place out. This restaurant has everything: cool, relaxed atmosphere, extremely nice and knowledgable waitstaff, and some of the best sushi I've ever tasted! The food presentation here is amazing. I took two friends who were visiting from out of town to dinner here, and the three of us were delighted with our experience. I just made reservations for Friday night! Pros: great sushi!, BYOB, great atmosphere more

Can't go wrong 4/2/2005

I've been here a handful of times as a couple or with a group and it absolutely shines each time. The mood is cool and relaxed. The fish is fresh, and you can't the BYOB. Grab a sixer of Sapporo and go. more

GREAT FIND! 3/9/2005

Recently discovered this amazing find and have been back 3 times this month. Love the concept of BYOB and sushi! The table next to us brought bottles of greygoose and mixers...throw in some incredible and fresh sushi and it's a night to remember. The volcano roll & grilled calamari are my favorites but you can't go wrong w/ the speciality rolls. The sushi brothers are hilarious - bring them sake and you'll be their best friend. The staff are courteous, never rush you and the bill is reasonable since you can fill up on your own liquor. Oh and yes, it's a bit of a scene on the weekends...it's crowded so you need a reservation since it's a tiny spot. Pros: reasonably priced, BYOB plus sushi!, great staff Cons: off the beaten path, small restaurant, packed on the weekend more

Prepare to be CUBED! 3/6/2005

Was excited to try a new japanese resteraunt in my local vicinity. Highly recommended by city search I brought my appetite and my wallet . by the end of the meal both were empty. The portions were not just small they were miniscule , the worst I've ever seen. Seriously! Cons: tiny portions, bad decor, expensive more

Mmmmmm... 2/20/2005

Cube is a great place for sushi because it's oh so yummy and not so expensive! It's also BYOB, which I enjoy. Having been spoiled by some of the best sushi around (Blowfish Sushi in San Francisco) several restaurants disappointed us until this place. The waitstaff is always very friendly and accomodating. The ambiance is pretty nice (but it's small, and can get very loud on weekends). It attracts a younger crowd - dare I say on the preppy side. And for all the guys: last time we went it was all girls (i'm assuming single) so you might want to get in on the action. Pros: great sushi, friendly waitstaff, nice prices Cons: can get loud more

Amazing Sushi 2/2/2005

Cube has to be one of my favorite sushi places in NYC and I've been around. I go there atleast once a week if not more. You are also getting the best bang for your buck here in the NYC sushi scene. I have never been disapointed and have been there since it has opened. Cudos to the sushi chefs and the mastermind behind this operation. Now when I go somewhere else I think to myself ""We should have gone to Cube."" The Dynamite apetizer is amazing, and I love the Clinton roll! Pros: Freshness, Assortment, Creativeness more

love it 1/12/2005

i can't stay away from this fantastic place! intimate and cozy, yet totally fun atmosphere. staff is awesome, waitresses are so cute, and suzanne (owner) is the sweetest thing alive. i've been to MANY similarly priced (and more expensive) japanese restaurants and this one is my favorite by far. make sure to try the otoro (tuna belly) sashimi, tuna nuta appetizer, and bahama mama and 63 rolls -- not to mention everything else on the menu.. you will not be disappointed! added bonus: you can bring in your own bottle of wine Pros: sushi, ambience more

YeaBrah 12/7/2004

You have the best personalities behind any sushi bar. Ken and Ben: Great chefs, enthusiastic, and they love sake! The seafood is fresh. I love any seafood restaurant that closes it's doors on Mondays (seafood is usually delivered on Thursdays to NYC for the wknds). Dynamite roll is great. Perfect white tuna! Bring a big bottle of COLD sake in, along w a few Saporos (It's BYOB) more

Fantastic Time 11/21/2004

I had one of the best times I have ever had at a restaurant. My friends and I had a great time, the food was excellent, and the service was better than I have ever received at a restaurant. Plus I didn't even enjoy sushi until I ate here. I started out with the salmon teriyaki but before you know it I was eating octopus and the volcano. Let me say it is a great place for both friends and family. Pros: Inexpensive, Service, Food Quality more

Love the BYOB 7/30/2004

If you're looking for a quality semi-fusion/trendy sushi scene that's easy on your wallet, this is the place. Although I prefer traditional/authentic sushi places, I love coming here. The fish is fresh and the prepared plates are excellent. This is a good place to take sushi naive folks because they have some really good rolls and cooked food too. And I love that it's BYOB... I can get a really nice bottle of sake for $35 that would easily run minimum $80 at a restaurant. The staff is warm and friendly (maybe because I share my sake with them). Ken, Ben, and Suzanne, ""Kanpai!"" Pros: Inexpensive, Good food, Service more

Hawaiian Quality, New York Style 7/27/2004

Cube 63 is one of the few restaurants in New York where the sushi rivals that of the finest Hawaiian sushi houses with a value that exceeds expectations. The talented chefs offer traditional sashimi and sushi dishes to daring and delicious contemporary combinations. My favorites are the Wasabi Shumai, traditional tuna belly sashimi, Spicy Tuna Roll (gotta love their special sauce) and the Tuna Tataki. The American inspired Philly Roll is also a winner, as are many of their combos. As for service, you get New York professionalism without the attitude and the diverse crowd keeps the experience exciting. Pros: Food is excellent, Value is terrific, Service is caring more

Jerk Haven! 7/25/2004

The sushi here was excellent. However, I expected a hip crowd considering its distance from anything normal and cool LES spot. Instead what I found was a restaurant literally filled with out-of-town (i.e. B&T) college kids. If you're into polo shirts with the collars up, prada bags with abercrombie tops, and diesel jeans than this is the place to get sushi. Otherwise, don't bother trekking all the way here. Pros: Sushi more

A Perfect LES Addition 5/15/2004

This cute restaurant will surely spark your tastebuds and heighten your senses. The dimly lit room proves romantic and the food is fitting for a discerning food fanatic. The soft shell crab appetizer was light and crispy and the sushi just melted in my mouth like butter. It may be hard to get a table, as there are only less than a dozen total, so make a reservation and the pampering waitstaff will take care of the rest!! Pros: Romantic, BYO, Fresh sushi more

Simply -- great food! 3/8/2004

Headed to Cube 63 a few weeks back (right after it opened): cute, funky little space, and such fresh and wonderful food, I was kvelling! Only drawback --- it was BYOB when I went, and I didn't *know* beforehand so I had to bust my rump down to Essex and Delancey for a bottle of bubbly. But it was worth it -- complemented the excellent food nicely. Imaginative chefs! Pros: Food, Cute more

  • The cramped quarters of this Lower East Side sushi spot, packed with small square tables and steel chairs, aren't much to gawk at. But judging by the rotating cast of satisfied diners, the draw is...
