Why go
Sushi Beauu is a practical Midtown pick, not a destination splurge. Book it for an easy lunch or early dinner near the Empire State Building, especially when convenience beats ceremony; cross-shop nearby Korean and soup-dumpling options if the group wants more energy, sharing, or a sturdier takeout plan.
About Sushi Beauu
Sushi Beauu is a New York City venue with hours that include a midday window on Monday through Saturday and evening windows on Tuesday through Saturday. The dress code is smart casual, so plan for a neat but not overly formal meal.
Use it for timing, not unconfirmed details
The clearest planning signal is the schedule. Sushi Beauu is open Monday from 11 AM to 3 PM; Tuesday through Thursday from 11 AM to 3 PM and 5 PM to 9 PM; Friday and Saturday from 11 AM to 3 PM and 5 PM to 10 PM; and it is closed Sunday. That makes it a practical option when those windows match your plans.
Avoid building the visit around assumptions about price range, seating count, chef detail, award record, dietary policy, takeout or delivery service, or beverage program. For anything beyond hours and smart casual dress, confirm directly before committing.
Who should choose it, and who should cross-shop
Choose Sushi Beauu when its New York City location, schedule, and smart casual dress code fit the plan. If your group is comparing other New York City dining options, Barn Joo 35, Cho Dang Gol, Nan Xiang xiao long bao, Soju Haus, and Yoon Haeundae Galbi are natural places to cross-shop depending on the occasion.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Sushi Beauu positions itself as a high‑end omakase counter that leverages an unmistakable address to shape the experience. Set inside the Empire State Building, the restaurant reads as a deliberate, destination dining choice rather than a neighborhood discovery. The emphasis is on a refined, seat‑by‑seat ritual: focused service at the counter, elevated ingredients and technique, and an atmosphere that prioritizes the meal as an occasion. The location’s architectural weight and the per‑seat framing make the room feel like a staged, sophisticated moment—quiet, compact, and built around the choreography of the chefs and their counter.
Best For
This is clearly aimed at milestone dining: anniversaries, birthdays and other celebrations that benefit from a memorable address. The copy stresses that the Empire State Building location itself becomes part of the story, so guests are booking more than food—they are buying an occasion. It also fits date nights and small, important business dinners where the conversation and the meal are the point. The sit‑counter omakase format makes it less appropriate for casual group hangs or rushed daytime lunches and better suited to intentional evening bookings.
Ordering Tips
Sushi Beauu operates as an omakase counter experience, so reservations and the multi‑course format shape how you order. Expect a per‑seat tasting (the lineup notes an 18‑course omakase) and a fixed progression rather than à la carte choices. Signature moments called out include seabream with soy, torched barracuda with lime and salt, the ESB roll, miso soup and imo yokan—good markers of the menu arc. Book well in advance and plan for the counter service rhythm: arrive on time, be prepared to take the omakase, and treat the evening as a single curated dining event.

Where to go if this does not fit
Choose Cho Dang Gol if the group wants Korean food with a clearer $$ price signal. Choose Nan Xiang xiao long bao if takeout resilience, sharing, and comfort-food value matter more than staying with sushi.
Restaurant context
How it compares for Midtown meals
Barn Joo 35 and Yoon Haeundae Galbi are better fits for groups that want a louder Korean or Korean BBQ meal. Sushi Beauu is the easier call for a lighter, more contained Midtown lunch or dinner near the Empire State Building, especially when booking difficulty needs to stay low.
Cho Dang Gol has the clearer value signal because its $$ tier is listed, while Sushi Beauu has no published price range here. If price certainty matters, Cho Dang Gol is easier to evaluate before committing; if location and a simpler sushi-leaning meal matter more, Sushi Beauu is the cleaner pick.
Soju Haus reads as the more casual drinks-and-group alternative, while Nan Xiang xiao long bao is the better cross-shop for shareable comfort food and off-premise sturdiness. For takeout, dumplings generally travel with less risk than sushi, so Nan Xiang is the safer order when timing is loose.
