This is by far our favourite place to visit in NYC. The food and service is second to none. You will leave with a full stomach and purse..the food is very affordable and always fresh. Cannot wait to come back!

If God had a favourite restaurant in New York, this would be it!

Huge menu, tasty as hell, and a fraction of the cost of the high end places. Recommend the Seared Tuna, outstanding.

The only draw back is you cannot book - you have to queue and wait for a table.

Really fresh and tasteful sushi. The staff is friendly. You are not rushed even if there are people waiting, which is really nice. However,, this also means that you have to wait for a table. But after saying your name you can leave and come back. It is worth the wait. It is not possible to make a reservation.

There’s always a line, so plan on having a drink at the bar while you wait for your table. The food is awesome. Service is friendly. Try everything.

Wow! What a hidden gem. It’s so hidden that I had a tough time finding it. It’s in the basement! So, remember to look for the black curtain that says the name of the restaurant that could easily be found by everyone except me. Btw, this place is cash only. That’s right, what’s in your wallet and under your mattress? Bring your piggy bank!

Anyway, my friend suggested that we meet here for lunch and I said yes right away. The place was packed during lunch. I ordered salmon teriyaki and she ordered a bowl of chirashi. Both ordered from lunch specials. My salmon was good but I should have ordered chirashi because I tried it and loved it. Well, next time. The salmon is served with rice and soup plus some pickles and potato salad. Chirashi came with just the soup. The two orders were priced fairly. We got plenty!

I enjoyed looking at the decorations. Some old Japanese stuff are all around such as an old sewing machine by the restroom entrance. I found some sumo wrestling painting on the wall. They displayed some Japanese boxing equipment too. This place has a little bit of everything, about Japan. Neat!
