“Small shop in a convenient location for locals. The sushi is fairly priced, especially if you choose one of the deals. It’s nothing extraordinary, but definitely better than the average hole-in-the-wall spot. Overall, it’s good enough that you won’t have any issues, just not particularly impressive.”

“An amazing experience with great food and textures. If you’re a lover of food, good ambience and being educated on cuisines. This is the spot. Our chef Sato was amazing and explained everything really well. The sake was also 10/10- served in a beautiful contraption”

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!”

“Had a great experience at Meijin Ramen! The miso ramen had a rich, flavorful broth, and the wagyu yakiniku was delicious. The appetizers were crispy and tasty, and the green tea cheesecake was a great way to end the meal. The restaurant has a cozy Japanese atmosphere, making it a nice spot for a meal with friends or a date. Would definitely come back!”

“We absolutely loved our dinner at Secchu Yokota! Every single dish was delicious and so thoughtfully prepared. You can really see the care and attention Chef Yokota puts into his food, and it was such a treat watching him work his magic throughout the evening. The tempura was incredible, and each course somehow seemed even better than the last. The service was just as wonderful. Daimu was so warm, funny, and welcoming, and really made the evening feel special. We loved the intimate setting and how personal the entire experience felt. Chef Yokota and Daimu make such a wonderful team! This was easily one of our favorite meals during our trip to NYC. If we lived in Manhattan, we would absolutely be regulars! Unfortunately, we're based in San Francisco, but we'll definitely be back whenever we're in town. Thank you to Chef Yokota and Daimu for such a memorable evening!”

“Best omakase I’ve ever had in my life and we’ve had omakase all over across the country! We only did the 12 course and regretted not doing the 17. We came for lunch at 12:30 on a Saturday and it was empty! Not many places open for lunch so I appreciated that they have lunch service. They also gave us some mochi for dessert to celebrate our honeymoon. I’ll always recommend this spot and plan to visit every time I’m in New York.”

“Lingo was the perfect choice for a special celebration. I brought my daughter here and the night was great. It’s a beautiful space, genuinely warm and personable staff, and excellent Japanese-inflected food with a creative twist. We did have one miss: the ribs were too fatty for our taste. But here's where Lingo service stepped in. Without any fuss, they took the dish off the bill and were so gracious about it. That kind of hospitality is rare and says a lot about how they run their restaurant. Everything else was delicious and the vibe was just right for a celebratory dinner. I'll absolutely be back.”

“First omakase experience and it was amazing 💖 my friends and I did the “endless series” omakase. Tbh it was already a lot of food, so by the end of it, we barely asked for additional sushi 😅 service was friendly and welcoming. The sushi was DELICIOUS (I am still dreaming of all the buttery fish we had). All the seafood was fresh and clean. Can’t wait to come back!”

“Really enjoyed Mikado Sushi while visiting Manhattan. The salmon ikura don was amazing—the salmon was fresh, the rice was perfectly seasoned, and the ikura was salty and delicious. As a sushi lover, I was really impressed. Honestly, it tasted better than my dad’s sushi, and he’s a professional sushi chef. Big compliments to the chef! Definitely coming back next time I'm in NYC.”

“Phenomenal food exceeded by even better service and hospitality. We've been to their sister restaurant Konban and this spot is just as good if not better. Music was dialed in for the Brooklyn crowd. Request the back patio for a cozy vibe. We got the crudo, pork loin, mandu, scallop, and ramen and each was a hit in their own way. Really loved the mandu for being equally Korean and Japanese stylistically (the tuile is very clever!), and the scallop was the best I've had in a long, long time. Shoutout to our server Cheer and the rest of the Konya team for the great experience!”

“Great sushi, fun vibe! Sushi YOLO was a great find. The fish tasted fresh, the rolls were creative, and the portions were generous for the price. Service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere was relaxed and casual. It's a good spot for a night out with friends or a laid-back dinner. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu! Since I don't know what you ordered or how your visit went, please change anything that doesn't match your experience. If you tell me the dishes you had, the rating you want to give, or the tone (short and casual, detailed, or critical), I can tailor it.”

“My friends and I decided to visit Tomoni after a Japanese chef recommended it as one of his personal favorites in NYC, and I am so glad we took his advice. Standing outside, the restaurant immediately stood out because its sleek, modern facade was such a striking contrast to the surrounding worn-out exteriors. My initial impression was that if a place invests this much care into its presentation, the food is bound to be good. If this spot were located in Manhattan, there would undoubtedly be a line wrapped around the block. Stepping inside, the interior felt incredibly deliberate and well-designed. Every single detail showed intention, from the rich maroon furniture and deep green brand colors to the playful squiggly logo, displayed vinyl record albums, and even the tactile texture of the menus and plates. The staff and servers were also super sweet and welcoming throughout our meal. For our food, we ordered the two seasonal specials (the Double Thick-Cut Katsu Don and the Cream Udon), along with the Assorted Sashimi, Una-Tama Donburi, and the Mixed Fry Set. Every dish was outstanding. The sashimi was exceptionally fresh without a hint of fishiness, and the eel in the Una-Tama Donburi was perfectly balanced rather than plastered in heavy sauce. It was a well-executed lineup that I cannot imagine disappointing anyone. While I did not use the restroom personally, my friend mentioned it was spotless, which completely aligns with how impeccably clean and well-maintained the rest of the dining area is. I am already looking forward to returning to try the rest of the menu.”

“After going to this place a second time for my anniversary, it only made sense for me to give a review to this omakase place. The place is convivial, quiet and enjoyable. The chef is talented, friendly and knowledgeable about all types of fish and recipes. It is always a treat to savor some of his preparations. The service is also quite thorough and personal. I appreciate how diligent and attentive the service staff is to our every need. Overall, it is a marvelous experience each time and I would definitely be back if I am in the city again.”

“We went to Shogun Omakase in New York yesterday for lunch. My son loves sushi and it was his birthday present (our first time experiencing Omakase). We were blown away! Seriously the best sushi experience (and to be honest, one of our top restaurant experiences) ever. Chef Ryan was an amazing chef and artist, and provided top notch customer service. We highly recommend Chef Ryan and Shogun Omakase to anyone who loves sushi and appreciates fine cuisine. ❤️🎉”

“A lot of good things about this place such as decor and our chef. Loved how he actually cares about each piece he makes and has such a pleasant mannerism (tho the overall vibe of the service was awkward and slightly cold in the beginning). We liked a lot of the pieces: quite fresh and diverse altho some of them taste Americanized and heavier (the truffle and the heavier sauce applied, for example). The service improved along the way tho. And the restroom can def be a bit more aligned with the decor outside.”

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Fushimi Restaurant! The food was delicious, from the appetizers we ordered to our main course. Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. We also enjoyed a couple of drinks, which perfectly complemented our meal. What truly made our visit exceptional was the incredible service provided by our waitress, Ohmie. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Her warm demeanor and professionalism truly elevated our dining experience. We strongly recommend Fushimi Restaurant, especially because of the outstanding service we received from Ohmie. We’ll definitely be back!”

“We ordered the Duck Shio Soba and Salmon Ikura Soba. The food was overall good. Wished the Duck Shio was sent out hotter as it arrived lukewarm and took quite some time to come out. The Salmon Ikura Soba on the other hand was great and tasted fresh. Service was alright. I don’t think our server realized we were waiting over 30 minutes for our food. The overall cost was also a bit steep.”

It's the only ramen joint to make it into the Technomic Top 500 restaurants list. What's their secret? Founder Tomo Takahashi reveals.
