Sushi slot with raw potential

Somewhere between Duane Reade’s drugstore sushi and topgrade toro at Time Warner Center’s Masa, there’s a middle market for decent fish.

Enter Sushi Shop, a reasonably priced chain that offers fresh and packaged onthego sushi alongside a sitdown dining room. The eatery, which opened its first New York location at 31 W. 52nd St. in 2013, plans six more this year, followed by four more in 2016.

The Upper West Side location, at 2191 Broadway between 77th and 78th streets, opens this week in a 1,500 squarefoot spot with 25 seats. In February, a Sushi Shop will open a 40seat space at 323 Park Avenue South at 24th Street.

By May, the group is slated to open a 2,200 squarefoot eatery on the Upper East Side. This will be followed by three more New York City openings in 2015.

Grabandgo lunch combos range from $12.95 to $14.95, while takeout or dinein dinner options include a luxury “black box” of 56 pieces of sushi for $79.95.

Sushi Shop, founded by Gregory Marciano in 1998 with a single eatery in Paris, has grown to 109 locations in countries including Italy, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Germany, the UK and Dubai.

Rock and Reilly’s, a popular Irish pub on West Hollywood’s Sunset Boulevard, is finally launching a New York City outpost at 218 W. 35th St.

The classic whiskey bar with pub grub food is slated to open by May. The Las Angelesbased operators have been scouting for Big Apple locations as far back as 2012.

A unique Middle Eastern hot spot is closing on the UWS to make way for — sigh — yet more luxury condos.

Gazala’s, at 380 Columbus Ave., boasts Israeli Druze food from chef/ owner Gazala Halabi, who hails from Daliat elCarmel, a Druze village in northern Israel.

Her first spot, Gazala’s Place, at 709 9th Avenue at 49th St., with just 22 seats, remains open.
