MakiMaki Sushi

This Financial District counter in the 1 New York Plaza concourse makes fresh sushi to order, with a patented wrap that keeps the nori crisp and a rotating cast of cut rolls (maki) and handrolls (temaki) that feel a bit more casual—and cheaper. The hot grilled salmon rice bowls are a standout, often praised for their tender fish. The crew is famously friendly and efficient, especially with big office orders, and they'll even throw in an extra piece sometimes. Inside, sushi arrives on wooden plates to a calming soundtrack, which gives the quick-service stop a touch of ceremony. A rewards program and daily specials keep prices friendly, and regulars swear by the freshness you can watch being assembled.
