" Saishin is a solid choice for sushi lovers. The omakase was quite good; fresh ingredients paired together perfectly. The chefs were knowledgeable and friendly, which added to the experience. The seating area is quite unique. However, the prices are rather steep, and it didn't feel quite as incredible as I'd hoped it would based on the reviews. Nonetheless, I'd recommend checking it out for its views and fresh fish. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited for a work dinner and the entire setup was perfect for an elegant evening. The omakase was top-notch, with fresh fish to die for. Our server was kindly and attentive throughout the night, ensuring our glasses were full. While a little on the pricey side, the quality of the food and the experience were well worth it. A great place for business meetings or special occasions! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Saishin was overwhelmingly positive! The views were stunning and the ambiance was cozy yet elegant. The varying flavors and textures in each course of the omakase kept us excited for what's next. The fresh wasabi was a delightful touch that you don’t see often. My only criticism would be the pacing of the courses; I felt a bit rushed at times. Still, it was a memorable meal that I'd recommend to anyone looking for an authentic sushi experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Saishin for a special celebration and it was fantastic! Once we were at our seats, the service was attentive and the ambiance was very romantic with the city view. Each course in our omakase was a new delightful surprise, all super fresh and beautifully plated, particularly the seasonal fish. The only hiccup was the slow drink service, but not enough to detract from such a memorable night. Definitely a place I'd return to! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our dining experience was a mixed bag. On one hand, the atmosphere is fantastic, and the view is stunning. On the other hand, the service was lacking and the waiting time between courses was excessive. The omakase itself was somewhat forgettable, save for a few standout pieces. Overall, while I appreciated some aspects, I doubt I'll return with so many other better options in NYC. " (*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*)
