Jess Kono: Feels like a restaurant in Vegas. Delicious asian fusion must get the sushi!
Ilse: The signature lunch is excellent, exquisite combo of fish, tempura, tataki, sushi, gyusashi, and a spectacular dessert
The Corcoran Group: This hip, London transplant is just what Midtown needs. The cocktails, service, and food are all on point - come for specifically the beef tataki, prawn & black cod dumplings, and the miso chicken.
Phil Probert: Amazing staff and amazing sushi. Say hi to Linda when you walk in and enjoy some food from the sushi gods !
Elegran: Intimate Japanese fusion place serves up a variety of sushi and sashimi dishes with a distinct flair. Try the lunch special with Grilled Lemongrass Shrimp for appetizers, and the Sesame Crusted Salmon Read more.
Sara Sylvester: Beef teriyaki so good. They also have good rolls. Most importantly - do the 12.95 or whatever all you can drink deal if you're also eating there.
