Green Tea Sushi - Manhattan

We have a mixed review. My son really enjoyed his hibachi chicken. I did not. I thought the chicken was overcooked and possibly old and reheated? I got a roll that I had to modify quite a bit and the staff and service was excellent.

This place is not maintained. The floor was sticky as soon as I walked in. Everything felt dirty which means it probably is. Even the entrance is not maintained. The food was very disappointing after all the reviews I read. The rolls were all falling apart. The sushi wasn’t even a whole sushi piece/slice on top it was a clustered mush of “salmon” on top. Most the rolls were rice and the fish that was used was questionable. I will not return even if it’s affordable because it was not worth the price.

So after reading all of the reviews I decided to take my husband here for Father's day instead of UMI. He loves sushi and ramen so I thought it would be nice to try something new. The outside of the restaurant is a little run down but most of the best places are. We walk inside and immediately the floors are so slippery and dirty that you almost fall. We were greeted by a very nice hostess and taken to our table. There were five of us and we were seated at a 4 top with a small table pushed up to it. Both tables were super sticky and dirty feeling. The chairs were gross and one was held together with duct tape. When we sat down there was music playing but after about 5 minutes the speaker died and it was dead silent in the restaurant. Our server was great. We ordered the dumplings for an appetizer and they were delicious! After the appetizer we were waiting for our entrees and the ac turned off and the restaurant got super super hot. Like uncomfortably hot, my husband was pouring sweat as well as my baby. Our entrees came after about 10 minutes and my chicken tempura bento box was delicious. My husband got a volcano roll and a side of ramen. He said the roll wasn’t rolled tightly and it had no flavor other than the wasabi and soy sauce he was using. His ramen had whole slices of Spam and a whole egg in it. He said it was okay. My oldest son got beef ramen and he said they were just okay and my youngest son got hibachi chicken and he barely ate any of it. It wasn’t a horrible experience but it wasn’t good. If the AC would have kept running and the place hadn’t been so dirty it would have been better. Our bill was 97.00 and I left a good tip for our server because he was awesome. But for that 120.00 we could have a more comfortable experience at UMI. Would I go back? Probably not.

Parking: Limited spots due to location and construction.

We ordered the Banana Mama sushi roll which featured tempura banana with crab it was absolutely delicious! A very unique taste. The service was top notch as well!
