Sushi 456 offers several menu items that deliver value. The “special sushi” with eight pieces of nigiri plus a cut roll priced at $50 includes some distinguished fish. Though the selection varies, on a recent visit medium fatty tuna was included, some maki rolls using the same tuna in a spicy mash-up, and a marinated scallop that stole the show. At $45, the chirashi — a selection of fish offered in a bowl over sushi rice — was an even better deal.

This very modest, mainly carryout spot concentrates on sushi at bargain prices, turned out by a pair of busy sushi chefs with few kitchen dishes offered (great appetizer fried chicken is an exception). Sushi deluxe comes in at $30 and includes ten pieces of nigiri sushi plus a California roll. Unusual for this price point, many of the sushi pieces are pre-seasoned with a marinade, a sear, or a dab of flavored mayo, so look before you dip a piece in soy sauce. Lunch specials of two or three rolls are another highlight.

Just to the left of the lobby desk in the Hotel Henn-na, as you hurry past the animatronic Tyrannosaurus in a glass cage, find combination sushi bar and tempura parlor Gosuke. This compact, well-lit restaurant offers good quality fish, including some unusual varieties in a more expensive omakase that often make their way into the inexpensive assortments. The sushi dinner called joh ($40) includes eight pieces of nigiri sushi and one maki roll, while others will opt for the chirashi for $10 less.

Sugarfish is a 14-year-old Los Angeles chain that emphasizes high-quality fish. It arrived here in 2016 and now has four branches in Manhattan. Assortments are available at several price levels, beginning at $27 at lunch and $30 at dinner, typically starting with a piece of sashimi, then proceeding to seasoned nigiri sushi delivered one or two pieces at a time, ending with a hand roll.

Deep within Rockefeller Center lies a minor offshoot of the Blue Ribbon empire — the original on Sullivan Street made famous by its late-night chef patrons. This small storefront with eight seats along a sushi bar is mainly for carrying out poke and sushi, but eating in is also a relatively inexpensive proposition. Sushi combinations that include six nigiri and one maki roll ring in at $24, and though the range of fish is small, the quality is high. Richly fat-streaked belly salmon was a recent highlight.

Regular sushi dinners at this Bushwick stalwart start for as little as $35, with a very big chirashi available at $38. It is also a full-menu Japanese restaurant with plenty of kitchen options (including a splendid broiled yellowtail collar) and a very wild list of specialty rolls if you are a maki fan. The Bushniwa, for example, features spicy scallop crunch, smoked yellowtail, and jalapeno sauce.
