Incredible, intimate dining experience. The anago, ikura, and marinated albacore are amazing.
10 piece omakase + BYOB. Triple X (uni, ikura, quail egg) - everything good in a bite
Great addition to the neighborhood. Delicious bento box with unique sides. Can't go wrong with the chicken teriyaki or the shrimp tempora. And definitely try the salad dressing-- incredible!
My favs are: house salad and ikura saki. Mmmm. If u like pure salmon maki, simple, not mix of everything in small maki piece ...this is it.
Try the Sushi Deluxe - Albacore, fluke, yellowtail, tuna, eel, ikura, horse mackerel, salmon and a spicy tuna roll
Try the Ikura Sushi - So good here
Aburi Salmon and Ikura don was delicious!
Try the Sake and Ikura Don Set. Comes with miso soup, daikons and egg and soy sauce custard.
Best authentic tonkatsu in the City hands down. Waiting for the new West Village outpost to open up.
order the mini ikura don for a side dish!
Special lunch set: shrimp tempura, soba, ikura rice, salad, salmon, stewed eggplant, lotus root, & yam & a mini milk tofu dessert-all for $17! For $3 xtra, get the Fri special cocktail.
Try Uni and grated mountain yam with wasabi and crispy toasted nori, Warm soba, pickled oysters and mountain yam garnished with cilantro and tempura root vegetables & Goma Tofu
Ikura oroshi soba noodles (grated daikon, shiso, and salmon roe that pop in your mouth like cool, tiny bubbles).
Silken tofu with bonito flakes. Cold ikura oroshi soba with scallion and grated radish is heaven in a bowl.
Start with homemade soft tofu and then yuba dipping soba. Finish with green tea affogato (green tea ice cream with concentrated green tea sauce and corn flakes).
Kakuni Ramen, Miso Ramen, Brisket Rice Bowl, Ikura & Salmon Cold Soba and Hijiki
Delicious food, good music, relaxed atmosphere and an unreal level of service. Top spot.
Spicy tonokatsu, gyoza, pork buns
Get the Oyster Uni Ikura- it's ridiculously amazing
The folks at Kanoyama are a head above the rest, with specials like hamachi carpaccio with yuzu juice and sea salt, sea conch sashimi, and Tasmanian ocean trout.
Sit at the bar and ask for the 'super omakase' (not on the menu). Chef Nobu is wonderful so sit strategically to watch him prepare and discuss the sushi!
Great for a fancy, authentic Japanese meal. Enjoyed the sushi omakase, Uni flight, and fresh soba with ikura, uni, and caviar
Indulge in Master Chef Masato Shimizu's stunning seafood and try the seasonal spiny lobster tasting.
get the soba noodles with uni (sea urchin)only thing is it takes a while to make them so order them as soon as you get there
Omakase is amazing !! Freshest sushi I’ve ever had!!!
Sushi for two was tasty. Service is great, place is also really clean.
Get the omakase. Very good fresh fish and relaxing atmosphere! Worth a visit in the UES.
Very quiet and intimate shochu & saké bar near London Terrace Gardens. Mini Uni Ikura Don & Aji cucumber sashimi salad r my best 🍣🍶.
put your name on a bottle of kappa no (a sweet potato shochu) and have them keep it behind the bar for future visits. drink on the rocks when you're in the 'hood with a friend (good for three months;
An excellent Chelsea izakaya; grab beers before you dive into the menu's cooked dishes, like takoyaki or monkfish liver.
One of the best Japanese restaurants outside of Japan. Ask for any special sushi/sashimi options of the menu -- they may have something very nice. Also the Ohmi beef is amazing (but $) nocheap :))
With 82 seats, Kappo Masa is a comfortable space that also looks to be making its mark in the field of industrial design. Aside from the decor the food is second to none. Be sure to try the truffles. Read more.
For those looking to treat themselves, there is a lunch omakase created by the chef for $175, which includes three appetizers, five flights of sushi, dessert and tea. Read more.
Amazing sushi omakase. Chirashi's presentation was wonderful (and tasty also!). Loved the poached egg over musa, uni and ikura ❤️
Chirashi and omakase are to die for! So tasty.. The atmosphere could be better: it's has a quiet Japanese attire with dimmed lights and wooden tables... And rock music, for some reason.
Amazing but expensive. Come sit people who like to share food so you can try everything. I especially LOVED the foie gras sushi (drooling). So many great uni options. Not a huge space so make RSVPs.
I am certain that Tempura Matsui is the best Japanese restaurant in New York City. Maybe even one of the top three restaurants of any kind in New York.
Dobin Mushi was beyond perfect. UMAMI!!!!!
Everything . Menu degustation
Try the Yuka Hand Roll - There is a $1.50 surcharge for this with the AYCE, but it's worth it. It's loaded with lots of ikura and salmon, and it's delicious.
If you are in the mood for sushi, this place is a best kept secret. All you can eat option for about $20 also. Personally, I go with the Tuna & Salmon Sashmi dinner. The Salmon is amazing.
Get the all you can eat. I ate $75 of sushi in 5 minutes. For $20.
I usually go for the mild Scottish smoked salmon, the king salmon fish eggs (ikura), the smoked trout mousse, and the dill cream cheese. Sometimes I throw in a herring or two.
Amazing smoked fish and other appetizing specialities. Try the Gaspe Nova and belly lox, and don't forget to grab some pickles and whitefish salad (or their wasabi roe!) to go with it.
