Sakana Sushi & Hibachi Steakhouse: NYC

In addition to dining in, this locally owned spot offers catering and private rent-a-chef backyard parties. The menu features well-seasoned hibachi mains served by humorous chefs alongside sushi lunch specials like the crispy "money punch" roll. The pace of the service tends to match the crowd; it is swift during quiet hours, but diners sometimes encounter inconsistent wait times during busy shifts. The venue also provides parking, making it an easy drive for visitors coming from New Jersey.
