Sendo occupies the second floor at 43 W 8th Street in Greenwich Village, one of two Sendo locations in Manhattan (the other on 6th Avenue in NoMad). The restaurant serves Edomae-style sushi from a counter-only setup, pairing traditional Japanese technique with a faster, more casual pace than a full multi-hour omakase house.
Pricing sits in the affordable tier, and reservations are not required — walk-ins are accepted, which suits the counter-only, quicker-turnover format. A bar menu is available for those who want to eat without committing to a full sushi progression, and takeout and delivery are also offered for diners who prefer to eat elsewhere.
Hours vary by day. Lunch service runs Friday through Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Dinner is served nightly: Monday, Sunday, and Wednesday through Thursday from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. There is no lunch service Monday through Thursday.
Given the walk-in policy, arriving early during peak dinner hours (Friday and Saturday evenings especially) is worth planning for, since counter seating is limited by nature of the format. Confirm current seat count and any chef details directly with the restaurant, as they are not listed here.
