Alex GuevaraJune 28, 2012Friendly service and old school Japanese decor! It's surprisingly bigger than I thought. Try the deep fried veggies and meat! (Kushiage katsu)
- Favorite Japanese restaurant near the office. I'd recommend sitting at the back bar for 1 of the 10.75 daily lunch specials or the front bar for green tea, ebi tempura rolls, & niku udon for dinner.
- David WNovember 11, 2011Possibly the best and most authentic Japanese restaurant in NYC. Attracts a Japanese clientele but welcoming to everyone. Food is fresh and excellent and service is impeccable. Try chefs suggestion
Silene LimJune 26, 2019Enter into the zen ambient peaceful surroundings of Azusa which is JAPAN. Owners have been around for the past thirty years and make you feel like family. Authentic Japanese cuisine.
Christen DuongOctober 5, 2012Hang a right at the entrance for the front bar. Find a seat among the Japanese salarymen and trust the staff to provide comforting food and conversation.
Simon ΛιεςSeptember 19, 2018Old world goodness. The kind of Japanese restaurant where Japanese would seek out to dine
One of my fave Japanese lunch spots. Daily specials are a great price,the Oyako Don is huge & yummy (one of my top 3 in NYC). They have a fantastic "fried dishes" menu that won't disappoint.- Adrien LAugust 25, 2015Daily lunch specials are now $14.95, and they are amazing! Old school decor that does the trick as well.
A great place in midtown for a reasonably priced, delicious Japanese meal. Lunch specials are a great deal.
Liz MackAugust 24, 2015This place is great, but eat at the bar - the main part of the restaurant itself needs a renovation.- The Yosenabe is unbelievable for you seafood lovers out there :)
Cam CrossAugust 1, 2009If you have the $$ consider buying a bottle at the bar on the first floor that will be tagged with your name for future visits. Otherwise, order a selection of kushiyaki. No sushi!
KaydeeMay 22, 2010Sit at the front bar and order some sake. Really friendly staff with great recommendations.
Holly StaleyAugust 22, 2013Terrible sushi- floppywarm w/ bad avocados. Don't pay for spicy mayo bc it has no flavor. It's honestly so bad when you complain about the food they don't offer to get you something else or a refund

"Try everything -- especially tako (baby octopus), chicken skewers with plum sauce, and grilled rice cake. Slurp some ramen and sip a soju cocktail. Order more as you go and feel like you're in Tokyo,"
