Angela WangelaJune 7, 2010Everything is exquisite here, but try to save room for dessert; I especially like the chocolate soufflé.
Great food, great service, great place. The miso soup is delicious.
JM ChilgrenJuly 11, 2010Awesome. Try everything you can! Definitely save room for dessert...souffle is amazing.
Christina RheeOctober 8, 2018Just sake is good. The food is not that great. Sashimi is not fresh enough! Only today's special was. But, still not worth $60 for sashimi.
Jen LeeMay 13, 2009Order the Ebi Shinjo, Saikoro Steak, and Black Sesame Cream Brulee. Don't forget to take home some homemade truffles.
Timothy CareyDecember 2, 2009Make sure to make reservations for dinner. Hard to find since it is in a basement, but worth the trip.

"Great bar snacks, smooth sake, and the nightly soundtrack is dope."

"The tonkatsu and grilled fish are great. Order them as a "set" and you can skip any need for a appetizer. Their house made tofu is out of this world."
Ernesto Gutierrez - 8.4
"Adorable underground Japanese spot with a wide selection of options (sushi, ramen, teriyaki, etc.) and FAST service. Apparently it's a jazz club too?? Ssshh don't spoil the secret."

Thomas Belousek - 9.5
"Amazing park. Tiny, but lively and packed with activities. Ping pong, reading room, and a carrousel to name a few. Plus lots of great food options. My favourite spot in Manhattan."
