Helmed by a Michelin-starred chef and praised by The New York Times, Sushi Saint is a hushed, luxe hideaway tucked into a discreet alcove in Long Island City. At the helm is visionary Chef Michael Collantes, a Filipino-American talent whose precise technique and imaginative flavor pairings have earned national acclaim. Here, every course is an ode to artistry, balance, and the quiet drama of sushi prepared at its peak.
Grab your $79 pulse (a $149 value) for a 3 Course Sushi Dinner For Two that includes 1 Appetizer, 2 Chef’s 5 Hand Roll Sets, 2 Desserts, and 2 Cocktails, Glasses of Wine, or Beers.
Before bringing his talents to New York City, Chef Collantes built a devoted following in Florida with Soseki Modern Omakase, which has earned a Michelin Star four consecutive years in a row. His culinary range stretches across multiple acclaimed concepts, from the Michelin Bib Gourmand-honored Sushi Saint in Florida to Bar Kada, a standout on the Michelin Guide, alongside beloved concepts spanning pizza, Filipino cuisine, and beyond.
Now, the chef brings that elite craftsmanship to Manhattan with the city’s only Sushi Saint location. Each hand roll is assembled before your eyes with exacting care and pristine seafood, creating an experience that feels intimate and elevated.
See why it's one of The Infatuation’s “Best Handroll Bars in NYC,” as you begin with indulgent starters like truffle salt edamame or honey chili garlic edamame, paired with the Silent Garden cocktail repping vodka, ceremonial matcha, lemon, raw honey, and edible flowers blooming atop the glass.
The Chef’s 5 Set delivers a symphony of texture and umami, featuring freshly-caught creations such as the Miso Butter Crab & Cucumber Roll, delicate Salmon with Lime & Miso, and Spicy Toro with Avocado and Tempura for a bold crescendo of flavor.
Finish with sweet mochi for a final whisper of decadence. Bliss awaits...
A sanctuary of flavor hidden beneath the street-level bustle of Long Island City, Sushi Saint is an intimate 10-seat jewel discreetly nestled beside the entrance to speakeasy The Newsroom. The space marks the New York debut of Michelin-starred Chef Michael Collantes, one of the most dynamic sushi talents in the country.
Chef Collantes’ journey is anything but ordinary. A Filipino-American chef with an expansive culinary vision, he built his reputation through a constellation of acclaimed restaurants across Florida, including Soseki Modern Omakase, which has earned a Michelin Star four times.
His growing restaurant portfolio also includes Sushi Saint (awarded a 2025 Michelin Bib Gourmand), Bar Kada (featured in the Michelin Guide), a beloved Filipino concept, a pizza restaurant, and even a Pan-Asian beach club destination in Dubai.
Along the way, his precision and creativity earned him a finalist spot on the culinary competition series Morimoto’s Sushi Master, where his talent for pushing sushi traditions into exciting new territory captured national attention.
Chef Collantes refined his craft in world-class kitchens, working alongside culinary legends like Wolfgang Puck, Joël Robuchon, Eric Ripert, and Masa Takayama while contributing to renowned hospitality brands including MGM, ARIA Resort & Casino, The Ritz-Carlton, SH Hotels, and 1 Hotels. These formative experiences helped shape the meticulous technique and global perspective that define his cooking today.
With Sushi Saint in Manhattan, his only restaurant in New York and the second location of the cult-favorite concept, Chef Collantes distills that entire journey into a remarkably personal experience. Guests sit just steps away from the chef as hand rolls are crafted one by one at the temaki bar, each assembled seconds before serving to capture perfect texture, temperature, and freshness.
Seafood arrives daily from local and Japanese markets, seasonal ingredients are chosen with reverence, and every roll reflects the philosophy that guides the restaurant’s playful mantra: “In sushi we trust.”
The result is a rare blend of Michelin-level precision and scrumptious indulgence, a place where world-class technique meets the joy of eating sushi at its absolute freshest...
All selections are made from the restaurant's full dinner menu.
