" This was my first time trying omakase, and I must say it was quite the experience! The freshness of each piece was noticeable, and I loved the creativity of the dishes. Everything was presented beautifully, especially the severed pieces of sashimi. The only drawback was that the service felt a bit slow, especially waiting for the first courses to arrive. However, the staff was charming, and I loved chatting with the chef about the dishes. Would definitely return to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in New York and searching for a sushi experience with a view, this is your spot. The omakase was really nicely done, showcasing seasonal ingredients with a few surprises along the way. I would have appreciated a faster pace, but overall, I left satisfied. Nearby bars made for a fun chance to continue the night after dinner. Will consider returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" During my visit to Saishin, the views were the standout feature! However, the food was a bit hit or miss for my taste. Some pieces were fantastic, while others just didn't spark joy. The service was friendly but a little scattered, leading to longer waits than expected. I enjoyed my time there but wouldn't put it on the top of my list for sushi in NYC. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to try Saishin last week, and it was a fantastic experience overall. We opted for the 19-course omakase, and every dish was a pleasure. The tuna was particularly memorable! While the service was a bit attentive at times, it was still friendly and welcoming. You'll definitely be paying a premium for this experience, but if you're looking for an intimate evening with great food and spectacular views of the city, this is the place to be. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! The sushi was incredibly fresh, and the chef was delightful—very knowledgeable about each fish and the story behind it. The protein variety in the omakase was exceptional, especially the salmon and uni. The view from the rooftop is breathtaking and really enhances the experience. The only downside was some courses came a bit slow—but overall, an unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommend for those seeking high-quality sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" I celebrated my anniversary at Saishin, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The view from the rooftop is breathtaking, especially during sunset. The omakase was artfully presented, featuring a variety of fresh and interesting flavors. Every piece was delicious, and the staff was incredibly attentive. I highly recommend trying the uni if it's on the menu—it was divine! The only downside was the drink selection, which could be improved. Otherwise, an amazing experience that I intend to repeat soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an enjoyable evening at Saishin, even though we were faced with several hiccups. The view is stunning and the atmosphere is trendy yet relaxed. The omakase was diverse, but I found a couple of pieces to be too adventurous for my palate. Our server was warm and friendly but appeared overwhelmed at times—creating unexpected delays. All in all, I may return for the ambiance but would likely try another sushi establishment before this one. " (*Curated Review*)
