Amber

When I came too early to a strictly fancy restaurant and they did not have seat available at that time, I needed the place to stay during cold weather outside. Amber west Village was nearby but I found this place to be so welcoming and easy going. I sat at the high-top table because we didn't have any reservations. I ordered some appetizer and drink and had nice enjoying time. Because I was enjoyed so much so I feel time went by so fast and my waiting time wasn't anything. If I didn't have to go to another place, I will probably be hanging out here until the end of the day.

Amber Sushi is a hidden gem on Christopher Street! The food is consistently fresh and delicious. Their yellowtail carpaccio is my absolute favorite – light, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The pork dumplings are perfectly cooked, and the tangerine chicken is so good – crispy, tangy, and just the right amount of sweetness. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, but what really stands out is the service. Manager Amy is incredibly nice and attentive, making sure every guest feels taken care of. Highly recommend this place for a casual dinner or a night out with friends!

We were loooking for a cute place for a date night in the area and this place was recommended by TikTok was easy enough to get much busier the longer we were there and it did get much louder. The space was cute and enjoyable, and it was a perfect spot for a catch up with a friend. However, when it came to the food, it just kind of fell flat. Everything kinda tasted similar. Nothing really stood out. We did one of the group 2 people meals in order to decide of a roll. Nothing was mind blowing or stood out, and no one really finished their plate. I finished all the sushi for them. I would never let sushi sit on a plate. I probably won’t come back here, but it’s still a cute spot in a cute area but nothing really stands out the staff however we’re fantastic to check in on us. Make sure we’r

It was a truly "lucked out" situation for us - while in a rush to see a show on Barrow street on a Thursday evening, we parked in a nearby garage and didn't know what we would get in terms of food, so just tried our luck with this eatery. Although its Yelp reviews are not top-notch, we were more than satisfied with our experience. It was apparent that sushi is their main stay, but we decided to order two Thai dishes and a Chinese appetizer. The flavor and taste were authentic enough, and the portions were so generous that we had trouble finishing them. It was such good value! In hindsight, we could have skipped the steamed dumplings - I did find their wrappers a bit too thick, but that didn't chip away any of my delight. Service was prompt and attentive. The decor was also very tasteful, a

I’ve been a loyal customer of Amber, always appreciating the food and prices. However, my recent experience with the pineapple fried rice for takeout was incredibly disappointing. The dish was missing its main star—pineapple. The pieces were so microscopic that they were barely there, and the dish lacked any flavor of pineapple. Instead, it was loaded with cheaper vegetables, which felt like a cost-cutting move. I understand that the cost of ingredients has risen, but compromising the quality and authenticity of dishes is a major mistake. I would rather pay a slightly higher price for a robust, flavorful dish than pay the same for something subpar and unrecognizable. This experience has made me reconsider returning, and Amber may have lost a loyal, high-quality customer.
