The Chrysler Building branch, open 7 days, is actually on the 43rd Street side of the Chrysler Building, between Third and Lexington Avenues. We were quite pleased to find that the conveyor belt sushi was not in a bar setup (as it is in most photos on their website), but runs between booths for two or four people. So, you can go with a larger group and enjoy conversation, rather than be limited to whoever is sitting to your left or right, sushi-bar style. Two points of interest: (1) On Sundays and holidays, sushi is half price. (2) Across the street, a bit closer to Third Avenue, is The Blue Pig, featuring excellent homemade ice cream. Unfortunately, it doesn’t keep late hours, so you may have to have ice cream before your sushi dinner. By the way, we did eat at Sakae Sushi and thought it was a good value—affordable and fun.
