A Canaan

Best sushi in the neighborhood… hands down! How this place only has 3 stars is beyond me. The fish is always fresh, the price is on par with what other’s are charging in the neighborhood. Their lunch specials are a particularly good deal; two rolls of your choice with miso soup or salad for $ 9.55 incl. tax. I’ve never eaten in the restaurant (always take-​out and the occasional delivery), so I can’t speak to dining in, although it strikes me as more of a quick meal spot rather than a place you’d go for ambiance. Always delicious and friendly service. My go-​to sushi spot!

Ordered the nasu miso, duck teriyaki, and white fish katsu bento box. When I entered, it was busy. By the time I left, it was empty.
The nasu miso consists of four slices of eggplant grilled with miso on top of veggies. It was quite hot when I start eating it.
The duck teriyaki consists of slice of duck and mushrooms in teriyaki sauce. It was my first time eating duck broiled in teriyaki sauce.
The bento box consists of three pieces of shumai, six pieces of sushi, seaweed salad, and salad with dressing, similar to the other inauthentic Japanese restaurants.
While I was enjoying my lunch, the waiters was putting another party’s leftover sushi to go. They were trying to put the sushi and decoration carefully to the dishes so that the takeout can be visually appealing.

Placed a lunch order for pickup via seamless. I was surprised seamless told me my order would be ready in 10 – 20 minutes at the height of lunch hour… less surprised when I arrived after 20 minutes and then had to wait another 10.
But that’s just sour grapes considering they substituted brown rice at no charge, even though it’s not an option on their seamless page. They also threw in a complimentary side of edamame (free w/​order of $ 30+) even though my order was under $ 30.
So far so good. As for the sushi…
I ordered the sashimi & roll lunch combo w/​lobster salad & alaskan rolls and yellowtail & king salmon sushi. The lobster salad was an artificial orange color but each piece of the roll contained a sizeable chunk of actual meat. Salmon and yellowtail was fresh. And all of that plus brown rice and edamame for $ 12.50 + tax is a sweet deal. When you’re biggest complaint is that your free edamame appetizer filled you up too much enjoy all your sushi, that’s a winner in my book.
A final note: despite being practically across the street from Penn Station, most of the lunch-​hour diners here were businessmen and women not tourists. That’s nice too.

Ok, it is official. I LOVE Canaan. The sushi (raw) is high quality and the service is top-​notch. Proof positive because on my 2^nd order, the quality of the sashimi is superb and the service is wonderful: Attention to detail, attention to customer-​service, attention to freshness. This is now my go-​to sushi place for sure! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the sweet raw ama ebi (raw shrimp)– thank you Ricky! And the King Salmon is perfect. Uni is amazing… everything is perfect. Best sushi in NYC for sure.

I’ve only been to A Canaan once and ordered a lunch bento box to go. The place was bustling, with a full house of customers as well as plenty of to-​go orders including seamless and mealpass orders. My box included a small salad, miso soup, rice, California roll, edamame, seaweed salad, shumai and 4 large shrimp tempura — all for $ 10! The value is a steal and I’ll be back to try more.

These guys are the BEST! I always order from them for catered lunches, always on time and delicious. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Good sushi, especially for the price.
They don’t overload it with rice like other places do.
Fish to rice ration — on point.

I ordered lunch combo with 3 maki. The taste was not bad, portion was okay, delivery was quick, but a little pricy. I paid $ 17 in total including taxes and tips (15%). I know it’s Manhattan, but a bit over price for a quick lunch.

Never eaten here but great delivery sushi for the price. Good lunch specials and quick delivery. I order here for lunch often.

It’s a local go-​to sushi place. Close enough so when I have a craving for sushi, I know what I am getting. 4 stars because it is reliable and the lunch special is good for the price.

Best Kani salad, other places in the city suck. Fast delivery, and great lunch special prices. I got a Cali roll and chicken tempura roll, and that as well was really good. Their food tastes fresh and is over all a good place. Definitely recommend this place. Will order from this place again!

My team and I order from here constantly for lunch. They always get the orders right and get them done quickly. Very reasonable lunch specials and the staff is very nice. I have been ordering from here for a year and will continue to do so.

I just ordered the special veggie roll and the mango avocado roll and both were REALLY good!
I ordered from seamless and the time estimate was right on target too. Will definitely order again. Thank you!

Lots of menu there are! Usually I go there when lunch time, it is quite good. I can enjoy many kinds of dishes. But, I rarely can use my cell phone here. I don’t know why, hard to capture signal.

This place is a joke. The sushi looked like someone first chewed it and then spit it on the plate. Couldnt eat more than two pieces. If i will still be alive tomorrow I will let you know how i feel because I’m definitely not feeling good right now wishing I didnt eat it and threw it straight to garbage after seeing what it looks like. I want everyone who reads this review to pray for me. My stomach feels horrible

A hole in the wall sushi restaurant that serves up fast and fresh rolls. The lunch time specials can NOT be beat! I ate here 3 of the 4 days I was on vacation in NYC and it served its purpose. Don’t go here expecting more then a quick reliable meal, that’s all it is, and all I really needed!

AMAZING sushi, incredible service, and the price is beyond great. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a Dragon Roll.

I feel like this place is trying because all of the negative reviews don’t match the experience I had. I ordered on seamless where they have a great rating and I picked it up 15 minutes later on my way to the train.
They were so friendly and my order was ready and the sushi chef told me he had put an appetizer in my order as a courtesy. I am a total sushi snob and this place was good. It’s no BOND st, but for a standard sushi evening I would go back and recommend it.

One of my favorite sushi place around here.
Every time very fresh, reasonable lunch special price
Not to mention, this place is hell busy at lunch time
So I usually place the order 1hr early.

Pretty busy during lunch, better to order for pickup or delivery. Never eat in so not sure of their service.
I like it because it’s fast when I order online, and the food is decent with this kind of price (lunch special). If you want really good food, go find some place more expensive.
I usually get their bento box lunch, their salmon with garlic and the beef with red wine are my favorite. Their Katsu don was not that good. I had their teriyaki bento couple of times, but the meat is usually a little hard.
But I’m giving them 4 stars because I’m eating with a budget and I think that their food is good especially with their price in this area.
