What people say, in short
Sendo is recommended across its New York locations, with Greenwich Village shown here. A visitor explicitly praises that branch for a simple, unembellished sushi meal and strong value, while repeat customers elsewhere also report enjoyable omakase. Not everyone shares the enthusiasm: one diner was underwhelmed by the value and another prefers competing counters. Historical comments about booking or waiting at an unspecified branch are not instructions for this location.
