"I came for the first time for just uni initially, since it's hard to find Santa Barbara variety in NYC. Then the owner recommended the ootoro and scallop. I couldn't order at the time since they were backed up and about to close. I slept on it and decided I might as well try the ootoro and their sushi, since I haven't seen my friends in a while and uni alone wasn't going to be enough to fill us up. I call at 9 AM on a whim thinking, "There's no way he's going to pick up, right?" And he does! So, I made a pre-order for sushi for pick-up at 11:45 AM. You have to pre-order the sushi because the sushi is always high in demand, but it's ABSOLUTELY worth it. I have never had sushi and sashimi so high in quality in my entire life. I actually cannot believe it is even possible for eel to taste so good. Even the wasabi is high quality! And the owner is so sweet and gave excellent recommendations! Highly recommended! For that matter, I came from Brooklyn, lugged around the big sushi tray through public transit and went through a gigantic crowd in Soho before finally taking the express bus to Staten Island to share the meal with friends. It was extremely stressful, but the fish was so good that I would do it again without hesitation. That is how highly I recommend it!!!"

"5/5 Sushi and Sashimi Set ($26) -- great bang for your buck! Quality nigiri and sashimi pieces were very generously sliced! Only wished there was counter seating to enjoy indoors! ______ 4.5/5 Roy's Special A Set ($19.5): superb quality fish, especially loved the salmon nigiri pieces! Only -0.5stars as other reviewers alluded to, it is a bit pricey for the serving size. I do think the sashimi platter looks like better value, so I will be sure to order that next time"

"Small party platter ($102 total) was gorgeous, fresh, and fed three hungry people! Called in the morning to place an order for 6:30pm pickup same day. Loves the variety of rolls, nigiri, and sashimi - Roy’s never disappoints!"

"Ordered from them twice in one week cause the fish was so fresh and delicious. Definitely call and order ahead and expect a wait cause Roy receives a lot of orders in a day. We typically order 1.5hr before we plan to eat. The owner/chef is actually a really nice guy so don’t be intimidated by his demeanour."

"The worst sushi ever. $60 for 2 rolls and 2 deluxe sets and the sashimi was inedible. I got cuts of fish I’ve never seen before, literally random scrap parts sold as sashimi and the sushi was also suspect. This place is a health hazard. Disgusting and a waste of money. Editing to add the fish smelled bad as well and we are burping gross fish smell."
