"Square feet and pet friendliness are nice and all, but real estate websites should really list “proximity to a great neighborhood sushi spot” as a key search filter. In Harlem, that search would show you a bunch of places around Yuzu. Order from the long list of sushi, sashimi, and handrolls a la carte, or go with one of the set combos. And if you want to have a few things on the table besides raw fish, try some gyoza, or a bento box with tonkatsu or karaage fried chicken." - matt tervooren
"This casual neighborhood sushi place is delivering things like 12 pieces of chutoro, a bowl of grilled eel over rice, or a sushi set for around $30. You can place an order through their website." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"If you’re in Harlem, order from Yuzu. This is an overachieving neighborhood spot where you can either get 12 pieces of chutoro, a bowl of grilled eel over rice, or a sushi set for around $30. The fish here is very high quality, they serve a huge variety of rolls, and you can place an order through their website here." - team infatuation
"The fish at this Harlem spot tastes fresh enough to make a sassy quip at you before you eat it. Stop by their covered sidewalk garden patio for a sushi set for around $30 or a wide variety of rolls. You can book an outdoor table through their website ." - hannah albertine
"Adams flubbed a toast at the London import of the scene-y Japanese restaurant Zuma during a party for Jeffrey Wright, who was on the cover of Haute Living, according to Page Six. “I keep telling people, you bet on New York, you’re going to lose all your money,” Adams reportedly said at the event. A spokesperson responded to a Page Six inquiry, “as he has said hundreds (thousands?) of times, he meant to say ... ‘you bet against New York.’” Founded by Rainer Becker and Arjun Waney in 2002, the Japanese restaurant has more than 12 locations around the world and seven seasonal locations." - Melissa McCart
