Cozy UES kaisendon counter serving fresh fish bowls with a fun hot dashi finish; great value for NYC if you can handle tight seating and occasional service hiccups.
Our take
Suki Desu earns its A- grade through exceptional food quality anchored by fresh fish and distinctive hot dashi finishing, paired with attentive service that enhances the experience. Tight, dimly lit seating and occasional consistency variation prevent grade A territory, though strong value and loyal following position it as a competitive neighborhood favorite on the UES.
One caveat: Space is cramped and dim; seating can be uncomfortable for some
