Japonica is quite possibly my fave sushi restaurant in the city. It can be kinda hard to narrow it down when there are soooooo many places to choose from, but they are consistentl...

GOOD SUSHI NICE SETTING 7/3/2008

The sushi is very good, in a nice area, the setting is very serene and low key, they give u a hot towel when u come in. Very expensive, well not the sushi but the dinner items, I believe. Pros: Service, setting, sushi. Cons: Price. more

overprice suishi, poor service, not recommended. 2/13/2008

My girlfriend and I spent over $100 still was not good enough to be treated nicely. They can wait to drop your check and get you out. Worst ever experience. Food wasn't fresh, over crowded, unfriendly staff. Pros: if your in a rush, and want your check for expensive meal, this is your place. Cons: if you don't want to talk to your date and listen to table next to you. more

Very disappointing 2/4/2008

Japonica used to be one of my favorite sushi places in the Union Square area. Went there last Saturday night for an early dinner with my husband before the movies and was EXTREMELY disappointed. Prices seem to have been jacked up considerably since last year and the sushi was not the freshest. A spicy tuna roll was inedible and we were afraid we would actually get sick. Presentation and quality was on par with (or worse than) supermarket sushi. No interesting specials and very confused/rushed service. It breaks my heart to give Japonica a bad review because I've had such great meals there in the past, but I really can't recommend the restaurant in good conscience. I hope they pull it together... Pros: Great location Cons: Expensive and poor quality sushi more

Overpriced for average sushi and pseudo-japanese food 8/21/2007

Sushi was just very average - much better can be had at comparable prices elsewhere. The chicken teriyaki and the eel rice dishes were huge - the largest I have ever seen for a 'japanese' restaurant. Unfortunately, the teriyaki chicken tasted like some generic chicken stir fry that happened to be in teriyaki sauce - hey, let's add teriyaki sauce and then it will be japanese!! The eel, well, there was a lot of it and you can't really mess up eel. Neither dish came with classic japanese sides typical of these dishes. The food was uninspiring - oversized, no presentation, no 'harmony' between the sides and the main dish, none of the hallmarks of japanese food. Pros: kid friendly, big portions (if you're into this sort of thing), close to better restaurants Cons: overpriced, mediocre pseudo japanese food more

avoid, not worth it, overprice. 8/3/2007

seating was quick. i consider this place overprice for what it is, am not sure y they charge so much, udon should not be over $20, at most $16.99. Service was ok, needs improvement. seating very tight, not comfortable at all. Pros: good location Cons: over price more

Average 7/13/2007

Being and east indian I love sea food, and that keeps me searching for new sea food spots, I was recommended by a friend to try this place and I did. The sushi was nice and the servings are BIG...but the quality however wasn't all that, may be it was just a bad day. This place has large portions so even if the prices are high, one can actually share an entree with one more person, so it doesnt really pinch, but the Pros: Big portions Cons: Pricing !! more

Focused on quantity rather than quality.. 8/1/2006

The fish portions are very large, but the quality of the fish is definately not the one somebody would expect for that price range. A great place if you are HUNGRY and you want sushi. However, if you are looking for high quality sushi, better try something else.. Pros: large fish portions Cons: ambience, rather flat fish taste more
