Sushi Gallery is a compact Clark Street storefront where loyal Brooklyn Heights regulars come for fresh fish, friendly service, and specialty rolls that feel more personal than chain sushi. It’s a low-frills dining room but an overachiever on quality for both dine-in and takeout.
Must-Try Dishes:
Marshall roll or other house specialty roll, Assorted nigiri sushi set, Salmon sashimi with ponzu
What Makes it Special: Tight, unfussy sushi counter with quietly excellent fish and local-regular energy.

Sushi Lin brings a slightly more refined, omakase-leaning approach to the Clark Street strip, with a tight space centered around carefully plated nigiri and chef-driven specials. It’s a step up in polish from most neighborhood spots while still feeling intimate rather than formal.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chef’s omakase nigiri flight, Fatty tuna nigiri, Seasonal maki roll special
What Makes it Special: Small, chef-focused sushi bar emphasizing nigiri quality and omakase-style experiences.
