BravoJanuary 26, 2010This modern impasse restaurant offers creative presentation with traditional sensibilities. Impeccably fresh fish is the star here. -Kevin Gillespie, Top Chef
Go Find AliceJanuary 30, 2018Food was good, but not Michelin Star standard. A bit disappointed with their sushi and sashimi omakase
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Harold Dieterle, chef of Kin Shop, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Duck soba noodles. Read more
Max BlekhterSeptember 29, 2012Sushi bar. Recommend sushi omakase & octopus, which is massaged 500 times.
Daniel KriegerApril 27, 2012The urchin I just had might have been the best I've ever tasted godddddam!!
Ivy LiMarch 13, 2011Not an eel fan? Get the Anago sushi and you'll be a convert in no time. Best eel ever. Amazingly fresh!
Daniel BouludJuly 30, 2014One of my favorite places to eat sushi in the city. I like their starter of 11 varieties of Japanese seaweed and the main course of cherry-wood-smoked duck, shiitake mushrooms and satsuma yam.

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
Gansevoort Hotel GroupOctober 18, 2010Get the Ribeye Of Colorado Kobe Beef celeriac puree, shiitake butter, seasonal vegetables
Nicole CascinoNovember 9, 2013Came in for a quick bite before class. I now plan on coming back and enjoying a longer meal at the sushi bar. Watching the chefs at work is a mesmerizing performance..and the fish is super fresh!!
NatalieJanuary 11, 2010try salmon 5 ways if you're a die hard salmon fan.also, their buckwheat tea is amazing and unique.
Piroon ShinawatraJuly 12, 2014Don't order oyster, some are not fresh. And service is very poor. It costed me 400+ which I gave them 500 usd, then they didn't return the change. After that I found out that they are over charge me.
Denis SosnovtsevApril 24, 2015Good sushi, but vastly overpriced for what it is and a general air of snooty pretentious attitude to boot.

"The seven-course kaiseki menus are a good way to experience the whole menu, including standout dishes like the miso-marinated black cod, uni egg custard and Japanese strip loin with truffle butter."
Village Voice - 8.9
"Omakase from the downstairs sushi bar is amazing. Don't leave without trying the hand rolls (go spicy tuna!). I was also digging the salmon-meets-blowtorch sushi. Ask for fresh wasabi too."
Dens - 8.5
"You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. Pricy but so good! Also don't need reservations and easier to access than regular Nobu. Less likely to see a celebrity though"

"Scandinavian rye loaves, airy cheese straws, tender poppyseed hamantaschen, city’s best chocolate babka. Sandwich: the harissa-fueled potato-and-tomato-studded Tunisian tuna on house-baked ciabatta."
