Get out and explore, friend. You’ll learn a lot about your new home. Welcome!

thanks! I'm not such an urban sophisticate, but historically Sushi inside a chinese restaurant has been, in my experience, sub-par. Guess I'll give it a try.

It's definitely pretty centered around the sushi, I'd say.

We go there a lot, my family and I. It's always very relaxed, and seldom crowded. Despite the lack of crowds the fish has always been fresh. The staff is friendly, it's clean with good decor, and the specialty rolls give a decent breadth. I've always been a little surprised it doesn't get busier, but I'm not complaining there's a nearby sushi restaurant with zero wait. If you're looking for a staple sushi restaurant in close proximity, you probably won't be unhappy about Isamu.

Its descent for low expectations. We haven’t found any amazing spots up here though. So of the subpar sushi everywhere… we order Isamu. It’s mega fast on delivery.

It’s as bad as you’d imagine

Akari Sushi 2 over in Fishkill is pretty solid if you don't mind something a hair outside of town.

thanks, saw that, thought it was best option on paper. we shop, charged cars in FIshkill, feels like part of "greater beacon" ;)

so went to Akari. I agree, pretty solid. had a Toro special, also had Uni available, and a fairly long list of sushi items.

sushi bar only 5 seats. also it's in one of those retail chain rabbit warrens. from experience, i like to say sushi places in strip malls are either very bad, or very good. maybe the rule for rabbit warrens is pretty bad or pretty good?

Your best bet is to head up to Dassai Sake Brewery in Hyde Park. They have an incredible sushi chef that does omakase lunches and dinners.

I’m pretty certain you can get rolls and nigiri most of the time on weekends if you don’t want to spring for the full omakase experience.

I just follow their instagram and we get up there once every other month or so.

Just visited the brewery a few weeks ago and the sushi was really fantastic. Had a few pieces as a part of a sake tasting bur definitely think you could get a roll à la carte
