Leigh Ann H.: Amaaaazing sushi and throwback hiphop👌
Steve Kaliski: If you can handle a big meal, go for the kaiseki. You get the omakase and some amazing additions. Milk bread with tuna tartar with caviar 😮😍. And they play mostly hip hop. Pricey too.
Austin Vegas: I’ve had both sushi omakase and kaiseki and continue to go back for the sushi. Great rice! Hip hop music. Great selection of sake, beers and cocktails. Tops, recommended.

Jeff Tomczek: Easy to get to off the 6 (20 min from Grand Central) and entirely worth the trip. Beautiful building and timely special exhibits like Hurricane Sandy photography and City as Canvas. Shop is cool too.

Andreas Kleiner: Great burger, fries and classic hip hop tunes. Def. a contender for best burger in NYC. Don't forget to tag the restroom!
AmateurConcierge: First of all the burgers are great and heathy as far as burgers go. Produce is fresh, onion rings stellar, excellent sauce selection land the hip hop is legit the best in the city. No lie. A+
PureWow: The classic burger is great, but we’re more about “the Mexican”: a chorizo burger with jack cheese, pickled jalapeños and chipotle mayo. Followed by a decadently thick milkshake, of course. Read more.
