Loved this Japanese Restaurant. It is a beautiful space. The murals are beautiful. It is beautifully set up. The playlist they had on was very good. The service is wonderful. The food comes out quickly but at a good pace. You don't feel rushed. The food was 😋. I had the lunch special ($16) which includes choice of Soup or Salad, one roll (large selection) and an Entrée (choice of Salmon, Chicken, Tofu and Steak) they come with White Rice and Vegetables. I had the Miso Soup, White Tuna and Jalapeño Roll and Steak. The Vegetables that came with my Steak were Onions and Peppers. I don't know if it's the same Vegetables on all the Entrées. I would think it is. Everything was made to perfection and beautifully presented. They also have other lunch specials and an A La Carte Menu. We only had water but they do have a full bar. Dessert was not included but we ordered it anyway. I had the Mochi Green Tea. The Ice Cream itself was Green Tea and it tasted great but I don't think I would order Mochi Green Tea again. My friend ordered Tempura Cheesecake. I tried a little piece. It was interesting. The Cheesecake was very creamy and sweeter than New York Cheesecake. This place is good for dining with others and also for Solo dining. I have to come back to try some things from their A La Carte Menu and to try one or two of their Cocktails.

Great spot for sushi! The patio space was great, and the whole visual vibe of the restaurant was open, trendy, and accessible. Service was quick and friendly. We split the pork gyoza, charred edamame, and purple potato fries with matcha mayo and they were all AMAZING! The spicy girl roll was my favourite. All the sushi was fresh and colourful, and tasted so good. Definitely recommend, and will keep on a list for future NYC visits.

This place is 100% a GEM. I came here after an appointment cause it caught my eye. I ordered the katsu curry lunch special and what a treat it was. The plate came with a soft boiled egg which was boiled perfectly. It was marinated in mirin and soy, very nice detail. The katsu was fried nicely. The chicken was moist and delicious. On the side was Bulldog brand sauce. OMG!!! No restaurant serves Bulldog sauce. Curry itself could have been slightly richer. $16 is ultra reasonable. I needed a little bit extra, so I checked the menu and found chutoro and otoro. That's unheard of...I rarely find any restaurant serving either. Be aware that it is pricy, but it's worth a try if you've never had it before. Staff is super responsive and friendly. When any of the servers saw my cup empty, they'd come over and top me off. The decor is reminiscent of Japan. The wood furniture and amber light really sets this place apart. Glad I stopped in for lunch.
