REVIEWS:
This is for all you midtown lunchers looking for some cheapass sushi. Sushi Ya meaning sushi place is located on 28 W 56th St
b/t Fifth and Sixth Aves. This mellow semi contemporary eatery offers more or less a generic/ fusion on the classic sushi which some of you may or may not like. This is not for the deadhead sushi snob however this is a place to grab a quick and cheap eat on your lunch break. The dining rooms dim with some basic up to date style and dark-wood floors, the crowd is equally generic or mostly filled with business people.
I started with a miso soup it came lukewarm and not so miso-y not a great start, my entrée crunchy spicy spider roll ($10) was very good but I thought came with too many sauces all the good soft shell crab flavor was lost in the mist of it all. Both red in color and spicy but one was a base made with Sriracha and the other sweet Korean red chili paste- in my book neither worked.
So now we have 2 strikes, wanting to give it another chance I ordered white tuna ($10.95) with scallion on a bed of vinaigrette salad, this was a homerun! The tuna was lightly grilled and was like butter, just melted in my mouth I don’t know how else to describe it but sushigasmic! It was recommend by the sushi chef, should have asked him for other recommendations I guess you can't go wrong with the chef.

Overall the food ok can be better and the service is good.
During lunch hours it gets crazy packed so call ahead or get it togo.
