Located right off the R train on 4th between 86th and 87th, this hole in the wall provides the essentials needed in NewYork–sushi, cheap and fast. Now you might think those terms shouldn’t go together, but believe-you-me, when we say “cheap” we really just mean permanently discounted, as their menus shows a special price of $2.50 for all regular hand and cut rolls. That’s right–ALL. From your Cucumber Roll to your Shrimp Tempura, and they even offer Judochop’s favorite: Spicy Yellowtail. And each one is only $2.50. Simply great.
Another discount is that all specialty rolls are buy one get one free. There is a wide variety of these rolls listed, and there are at least 2 new rolls a week! In fact, a new menu was introduced last spring (around fashion week, we noted) including such delicacies as the Sexy Roll and the YSL roll. But for the truly dedicated sushi lover, try out Omiya’s boat platters. Offered in a range of sizes, these massive orders can feed a whole family or just one very hungry individual. These are definitely not for the faint of heart.
The interior is minimal with the usual Japanese decor while the service is quite impressive. It’s nice to eat-in as you get green
tea for free (notice a trend yet?) and the presentation of the entrees is 
lovely. The sake is served with a slice of cucumber, which makes a particularly refreshing drink. During the cold months it’s so great getting to-go. Sometimes we’ll get 10 rolls for just two of us (splurging on $2.50 rolls never hurt anyone–and this way we found out the Sandwich Roll is B.S.!!) and it literally takes them 6 minutes to bring us everything wrapped up tightly and secure for the walk home, with plenty of wasabi, ginger and soy sauce dippers.
What lacks in price certainly makes up for in taste, and we don’t know about you but that’s a fine trade for us. We could go on and on (like we do) and tell you about our experiences with this excellent establishment, but how about you tell us what you think? It’s gonna cost you at least $1–oh yeah, the final discount–for a piece of sashimi. And if you can’t afford that, then how are you online? Punk!

BAY RIDGE, BITCHES!

Well I certainly know where I’ll be eating dinner next week.
Additionally, there is a Japanese restaurant right off the R train at 4th and 69th that I find to be just as delicious and inexpensive as you thought Omiya was. In fact, I have stopped going to Bay Ridge Sushi (their rolls, when I order take-out, consistantly fall apart into piles of rice of ingredients before I even get them home!) in preference of this new place.
I’ll have to make sure I get the name and give them some sushi-love from the other end of the hood.

the worst sushi i have ever had!!!!!!!!!!!

I had it in June as a welcome back sushi (moved out of bay ridge! awz), and it WAS quite disappointing. The rice was way too mushy or something.
I guess they figured match quality to price? Either way, I’ll still make the 40 min trek for it!

Plese tell me where I can find Bay Ridge’s bestItalian and Moroccan Food.
I just moved to NYC from Syracuse.
Oh yeah. I heard that Owl’s Head Park has the best views of the Verranzo–Is there anything that I would find disagreeable if I went there after dinner (sewage?)?
Thanks.

This is the worst sushi place I have ever eaten at thus far. I went once and never went back it was so bad! I’ve been all over brooklyn and the two places that always seem great are Bay Ridge Sushi and Fushimi. Fushimi may be expensive but their lunch special is terrific! 2 rolls for 7 dollars with soup or salad or 3 rolls for 9 dollars with soup or salad.
