By Heather Cross, About.com

With so many Japanese businessmen and tourists, New York City has become quite a mecca for outstanding Japanese food and fresh sushi. From california rolls and unagi to udon and teriyaki, Japanese restaurants and Sushi bars offer a wealth of dining options.

1. Mizu

If tasty, fresh sushi is what you crave, check out this Flatiron sushi restaurant. Exposed brick and paper lanterns contribute to a perfect atmosphere.

2. Little Yokohama

Little Yokohama is a great place to grab a bite to eat if you're looking to avoid tourist traps and overpriced meals in Times Square and the Theater District. The simple Japanese noodle shop offers generous servings of soup at prices anyone can afford.

3. Sushi Yasuda

Often touted as the best sushi in New York City, Sushi Yasuda has a lot to live up to, but manages quite successfully. The fish is first-rate and there are few other places in the city that offer the variety of fish that Sushi Yasuda does.

4. West Side Sushi

From the owners of Jeollado and Sandobe, West Side Sushi offers a similarly extensive selection of maki on 9th Avenue. It's a great place to grab some affordable sushi before the theater or at lunchtime.

5. Tomoe Sushi

One of New York's most affordable high quality sushi restaurants, if you don't mind waiting at Tomoe Sushi (or showing up just before they open) you're sure to enjoy delicious sushi at a great price.
