About Us..
Kanoyama is a premier Japanese restaurant serving the freshest sushi in New York — at the counter, or at your table at home through take-out and delivery via our online ordering system.
The menu runs well past sushi: appetizers, entrées, soups, salads, vegetarian selections, and a considered sake list. What sets the room apart isn't decor or volume — it's the fish, the service, and the care behind both.

- MICHELIN -
Offering an impressive lineup of excellent quality and deftly prepared fish, this popular sushi den now claims greater capacity following a recent expansion.
In a space that is simply done but spotless and well-maintained, the focus here is on a parade of pristine cuts that are bolstered by a passage of daily items such as rich baby shad from Japan and tender, mild American white bonito. Also find a generous listing of oysters; starters such as wakasagi tempura (fried baby smelts) sprinkled with green tea-salt; and a handful of cooked entrees. The value-conscious omakase is highly recommended. Besides being tempting, the website is very informative: it presents diverse fish facts, photos, and recommendations for seasonality and preparations.
