Weeknight dinner with kids in Manhattan is a math problem. One person wants real sushi, one person wants something cooked, one person wants edamame and only edamame, and nobody wants to spend an hour cooking. Atto Sushi delivers across Midtown East, the Upper East Side, Lenox Hill, Murray Hill, Sutton Place, Turtle Bay, and Kips Bay through Toast — and the menu is built to solve exactly that problem in one order.
How to Order for a Family
The most efficient family order looks something like this: one chef-selected nigiri platter for the adults (or for the kids who already eat raw fish), a couple of cooked rolls, a side of shrimp tempura, edamame, miso soup, and a house salad. Add a serving of rice or two for the kid who just wants plain rice and chicken-or-shrimp-only sushi. Everybody gets fed; nobody negotiates.
If you have a kid who eats sushi but only specific pieces — salmon nigiri, tuna roll, that's it — order those à la carte alongside the platter. The full menu is available on Toast for individual pieces.
What's Kid-Friendly on the Menu
- Salmon nigiri — the gateway sushi for most kids
- Tuna nigiri — clean flavor, easy texture
- Shrimp (cooked) nigiri — for the not-yet-raw-fish crowd
- Edamame — the universal pre-meal pacifier
- Miso soup — warm, mild, comforting
- Shrimp tempura — cooked, crispy, kid-approved
- Cucumber and avocado rolls — the all-vegetable starter pack
For the Adults at the Table
Once the kids are sorted, the grown-ups can eat real sushi. Select fish at Atto are aged in-house under controlled temperature and humidity, drawing on Edomae curing and aging traditions — the aged tuna varieties in particular travel surprisingly well and are worth ordering as a small luxury inside the family order. Toro tartare, yellowtail carpaccio, and a sashimi platter all hold up beautifully in delivery containers. Pair with a beer or a small bottle of sake (sake by the bottle on request; call (845) 421-4967 for availability).
Timing the Order Right
For a weeknight family dinner, order 45–60 minutes before you actually want to eat — allowing for delivery time and the inevitable "we'll be there in five minutes" stretch. The fish is best within 20–30 minutes of delivery. If anyone is going to want leftovers, sashimi and cooked rolls hold up overnight better than nigiri does (rice is the limiting factor).
Delivery Coverage for Families
We deliver through Toast to the residential pockets where most of our customers actually live: the Upper East Side, Lenox Hill, Sutton Place, Turtle Bay, Murray Hill, Kips Bay, and all of Midtown East. Apartment buildings with doormen, walk-ups, brownstones — the courier handles standard NYC delivery situations. Enter your address in Toast to confirm delivery and ETA.
