About
Sushi Goda arrived on the Upper East Side as one of the neighborhood's most striking new dining rooms—featuring skylights, lush greenery, a fireplace, and a naturally lit back bar that create an indoor-garden atmosphere. The menu spans à la carte sushi and sashimi alongside several pre-fixe omakase tiers, including a classic 10-piece omakase that has earned consistent praise for its freshness and presentation. Reviewers highlight the extraordinarily attentive service, smart sake list, and the seaweed salad—presented with five distinct varieties—as hallmarks of a kitchen with real depth. Priced accessibly for the UES, it draws both regulars and destination diners.
