“It was a great show. I can’t imagine this as a great food but every thing is better with unlimited saki and amazing companies.My wife and I had a great time. It wasn’t hard to find just under staircase and you felt transported out of New York.The food is amazing. They put up a great show and quality is reasonable. I enjoy the food but you can really drunk with the saki.Amazing restaurant and definitely a visit if you are in town. Experience depends on the host.“
“This is by far one of the BEST Thai food experiences l've had in NYC! This is not your average Thai restaurant. The space is gorgeous and beautifully adorned with flowers everywhere (including the food & cocktails)!All vegan options are clearly labeled on the menu and trust me there are PLENTY. The drinks & vegan options we ordered:- melon & berry satho served in a watermelon- mojito in a coconut shell- japanese sweet potato tempura- veggie crispy rolls- vegan pad thai with tofu- basil pad krapow with tofu- mango sticky riceAmazing atmosphere and friendly service. Will 100% returnVegetarian options: Vegan options“
“The ambiance is stylish and comfortable, and the dishes are exquisite?We chose the ?$100 pp Omakase for 2 and also ordered a few appetizers and nigiri a la carte.The appetizers include a steamed egg—soft and smooth, with the sauce flavor just right—you can order it with added Uni.Since every ingredient was so fresh and sweet, we couldn't resist ordering more scallop, uni, and wagyu nigiri to satisfy our cravings～The cocktails were fruity and very professionally made?. The dessert's cheesecake has sesame flavor?Check this place out‼️“
“The environment is very warm and comfortable, the ingredients are fresh, and the shrimp in the sashimi is so sweet and chewy—I love it so much! The owner is very enthusiastic, and both my friends and I absolutely love it! We will definitely come often.“
“One of the most upscale vegan restaurants I've ever had the pleasure of going to. Terrific Asian foods with veggie flair, and unqiue cocktails to boot. Try the Bang Bang Broccoli and thank me later... its tempura heaven!Vegetarian options: An all vegan menu in midtown Manhattan!Dietary restrictions: An all vegan menu in midtown Manhattan!“
“Top 2 sushi restaurant around flatiron. More authentic sushi experience with a unique menus and seasonal selection. Omakase by T O W A - I didn’t “W” in the case of my photos. I was back in town for business and was lucky enough to walk in during looting rain. Overall Would eat here again.“
“We had a great anniversary. We got the 12 piece + 2 hand roll omakase set for $53. The fish was super fresh and the whole meal was about 45min. There’s about 12-15 seats at the counter, so if you want to guarantee seating book a reservation. It was absolutely worth every “
“An absolutely amazing experience. Every piece of sushi was meticulously prepared and so so delicious. Your mouth will go on a journey that will leave your taste buds unable to appreciate any other piece of sushi. This place is amazing and we'll definitely be back.“
“Great place to stop by for a simple omakase lunch. Theres a small seating counter in the back for about 10-12 people. We had 10 pieces of fish with 2 rolls. The fish of the day was mackeral and fluke. Some of my favorites were the torched sable fish and scallop. Service was great and the staff were friendly.“
“Izakaya MEW is such a gem in midtown. It's a busy spot for good reason! The entrance is easy to miss, but I felt like I stepped back into Japan once inside. It was quite busy for lunch on a Thursday and a reservation is probably recommended. Great food and quick service.“
“My friends treated me and my wife to dinner here as an engagement present. We all had a wonderful time and thought the food was top notch. On top of the fresh fish and impeccable presentations, I really appreciated that Don was so accommodating to dietary restrictions. Many restaurants serving omakase are unwilling to make changes. I would absolutely come back again and recommend this to anyone.“
“Ordered a salmon donburi lunch set (7 pieces) for about $20, found it to be about average if not slightly above average. There was a nice portion of salmon roe/ikura included with the donburi, as well as a small side salad. I think for the price, it'll be hard to beat this quality. Nothing amazing by any means, but certainly decent and far from bad - a great value and reasonable price for sushi, I will be back to try the nigiri and sashimi!“
“TL;DR: It was FIRE!!!This was by far the most amazing experience I have ever had. From the friendliest Chefs to the amazing flavorful melt in your mouth courses . Chef Ben and Chef Kong were very polite and educated us on what we were eating and had some lovely jokes. It was great to see everything prepared right in front of you and fresh. The pace of when the courses came out was perfect and not rushed at all. The place is small but understandable why they do the reservations the way they do it. I highly recommend going here!“
“By far the best omakase experience I've had in NYC. I went with my partner to celebrate our anniversary and we do omakase a lot since it's our favorite. This place blew our mind — you have to do the bougie omakase at the counter — SO AMAZING. The ambiance, staff, quality of food and chef was truly outstanding and so affordable. I'll be a regular here and can't wait to be back soon.“
“Has such a yummy and pleasant omakase experience in Astoria on a week night, thanks to That Place. The restaurant is so beautifully decorated and clean. The host/server was so attentive and sweet during the entire 1.5hr experience - my water/tea was refilled almost automatically after every sip. Same is also included in the omakase pricing which is really nice for drinkers ! The chefs worked together and created really delicious pieces- every one was super yummy. Their matcha ice cream and cheesecake were also so good ! Overall, was such a great experience and will definitely be back again for a weeknight or weekend dinner.“
“This place is great. I came at 3 p.m. and waited in line for about 10 minutes. It was a new experience for me. Hand rolls here start at 18$. For me, an order of 6 hand rolls was just right. The service staff here are cute and friendly. They use good, clean, fresh ingredients. I like it “
“Good sushi, good place, good people. They have a very cute decoration and a kid-friendly menu, too. One of the best sushi places in North Jersey.Kid-friendliness: The choo choo train that carries the plates is a big attraction for kids. The owners communicate so well with kids. They make cotton candy in front of kids and with them. And they have many options for picky kids. My 7 year-old daughter loved everything about this place.“
“This sushi restaurant left a deep impression on me. Their sushi is delicious and soft and glutinous, which gives me an endless aftertaste. At the same time, their production process is excellent, and each sushi is carefully made and matched, will come back for sure.“
“My family and I went to the Lobster club for dinner and in short it was amazing. The food was so unique but soo delicious, there wagyu dishes especially. Of course we had to get a lobster dish which we ended up getting two orders of, the restaurant itself is so beautiful. As soon as you walk in you see a beautiful scenery. The service was good cant complain about anything they were able to accommodate for my moms birthday and bring out a cake which was very nice and there dessert selection is very unique as well! Overall I would definitely come back, this restaurant is definitely on the pricer side but it definitely worth it once you take that first bite!“
“Yesterday was our first visit to the Osaka Sushi Restaurant, today is our second visit. We came to the Osaka Sushi restaurant from Las Vegas to New Jersey on a trip. Their business is very good, We saw a lot of peoples eating sushi here when we be there. the owner of a warm reception for us, we came for the first time, gave us a lot of good recommendations, food is very fresh. The service is very good, the atmosphere is very good, we see someone's birthday, we are very happy. We'll be back!“
“We had a phenomenal omakase dinner. Pretty much all the dishes were fantastic, from start to finish. A special shout-out to the salmon nigiri with foie gras and the kobe beef nigiri, truly delicious. The sake chosen for the pairing was also very enjoyable, I would recommend that. Overall, a great experience, 5 stars with no hesitation whatsoever.“

“Truly enjoyed my first omakase experience. I got so lucky to have Yama-san to be my chef for the night. His skills were amazing and each nigiri was served with a smile and hospitality. I am sure there are omakases out there that deserve the highest praises but for me, I’ll hold this experience dear because each and every course I had were so heartwarming and I could see the integrity in Yama-san as a sushi chef. I came to this omakase alone but I did not feel as such because he made me feel welcomed. I did not think I would learn so much in an hour, while being served food. It was such a delightful experience. I hope to have him again next time I visit NYC.“
“AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! If you're in NYC you absolutely HAVE to go. The chef was absolutely amazing, you'll meet a wonderful gentleman who will help navigate the experience as well. The ambience was exceptional. Great music, people, and vibes. I would have eaten here several more times if we had the chance. Experience AND food was 10/10. Highly recommend and absolutely WILL be back next time we're in New York!“
“A good friend from South Carolina recommended this restaurant. I must say this was some of the best sushi I have ever eaten. The owner of the restaurant is extremely nice and I would highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you Wu for telling us about this wonderful restaurant.“
“We ordered the lower priced ($40/person) hot pot and sushi rolls option. They brought more food than we could ever eat! It was our first time there so we weren't quite sure what we were doing, but we had a great time and left very full. We'll definitely go back next time we're in NYC! Service was a bit slow at times, especially when wanting to get the check and pay. We were there early in the evening midweek and they weren't very crowded.“
“Food at Fushimi is excellent. Portions are more than enough. Price is very reasonable. Wait staff are outstanding. A shout out especially to Sara and her Thai colleague whose name I failed to get. Ambience is remarkable and memorable—in fact, instagrammable. Good for intimate and romantic dinner for 2 as much as for groups of 4, which we were, or 5, or 6. We'll definite go back and bring friends again.“
“First, the chefs let the fish speak for themselves- fresh, flavorful, inspired. Second, owner Eric and staff deliver personal attention- friendly, professional, elegance. Finally, atmosphere is intimate & friendly - whether you come alone, couple, or as a group, you’ll find friends and celebration - KANPAI!“
“I made a reservation and went for lunch on a weekday.It seems that you can order the same menu as at night, but we ordered the lunch-only value menu.10 pieces of nigiri and one roll cost about $58 including tax and tip.The taste is absolutely delicious!This is Japanese sushi! That's what it feels like.The size of the rice is just right, neither too small nor too big.The grip is perfect, and it feels fluffy when you put it in your mouth. I'm grateful for the sushi that doesn't have too much sushi.The ingredients were also fresh.10 kan and one roll may seem like a small amount at first glance, but you'll feel full after eating them. Just the right amount.We also offer roasted green tea when you pay.The atmosphere inside the store is calm and the restrooms are clean.In addition to counter seats, there are also table seats. This time I was seated at a table, but next time I would like to sit at the counter.The service is courteous and frequently refills your glass. I think the staff are probably only Japanese.I found a good store that I can recommend to others.I would like to go with friends who are not Asian.It has become my favorite store.“
“Server Xin from Sushi Gama has set a high standard for restaurants in the East Side area! Our server, Xin, was the best part of our experience. Xin displayed wonderful customer service and is by far the best server we've ever encountered. A big shout-out to Xin! He was a wonderful waiter because he provided amazing service and was very attentive. He kept changing out any dirty plates without us even having to ask. We would definitely come back for him!“
“Simply superb. The fish and shellfish are pristine. The chefs are skilled and approachable. The servers are helpful and gracious. While not “inexpensive,” I believe it’s a value for what is delivered. I’ve been three times—just last night for the first time, I’m sorry to say, since COVID—and each time was exquisite. Beyond highly recommended. A treasure.“
“An Omakase that surprised me‼️Both the presentation and taste of the dishes are satisfying, and the cocktails are great?Watching large slices of truffle being shaved off, my truffle-loving heart blooms with joy The Uni has premium quality - rich, creamy, and sweet with every bite leaving me intoxicated?The AMADAI with its crispy skin, something only a professional chef can achieve?The experience of smoking King Salmon was fascinatingThe seaweed tofu in the Miso soup was also quite specialA very enjoyable dining experience - Must-try‼️Cocktails?✨Pearfection ??????highly recommend✨Sakura Blissa berry-flavored mojito?“

“This is our second time here. We thought about it all week and had to come back here. We don't always repeat restaurants because there are so many try, but we will definitely keep coming back. We got the crispy rice with tuna, the Hakkaido roll, the chase roll, and the passion roll (wow). This is by far one of our favorite restaurants. The staff are great too.“
“This place definitely deserves more recognition!!! The atmosphere is super nice and serene. It’s usually on the emptier side when I go. The gyoza and udon are my favorite and I would definitely recommend! Their sushi tastes fresh and they have a pretty good selection of rolls but also cooked dishes. My only con about dining here is that it is on the pricier side. They do have happy hour specials but you have to sit at the bar and there is a smaller menu.“
“1. Fish quality is good. Tuna could be better at least the day I went.2. Signature Futomaki is my pick on this place.3. Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken) is ok, but I would not order this again. Cooked well but not real Japanese style.4. It’s BYOB so make sure to bring your favorite sake.5. Friday evening is busy so go early if you plan being there.“
“BEST OMAKASE IN NYC. The quality here is as good as it gets. The service is incredible always. The chefs are extremely talented and accommodating. The fish they have is always fresh and different. They do have speciality fish some nights which you can try. The price is more than fair you truly get what you pay for here. The experience is always 10/10.“
“Omakase style sushi bar which is absolutely delicious. Reservations are a must; each round has space for about eight people. Two chefs prepare one piece after another to be enjoyed. Best ginger I’ve ever had at a sushi place! You can get green tea but they serve no alcohol or drinks! So bring your own bottle - they supply a silver ice cooler :) we paid around 280$ for a great evening. We didn’t say it was my birthday dinner but the women next to me got this amazing sushi cupcake creation with a little candle (and her bday was 3 days prior - so a little jealous ;) ) - tell them!“
“This restaurant opened a couple weeks ago, right next to the Baccarat Hotel ground floor! I have tried many Omakase places, but the chef Anthony Inn served dishes I have never tried. Presentation, Balanced flavor, Texture, Aroma, Execution, all there! Taru has everything from Omakase, Cooked Dishes, and Fantastic Dessert Selections. The Pastry Chef Natsume Aoi is perfection! Her deserts are must try! Also, there's a beautiful bar at the front with a great selection of cocktails, wine, sake, and scotch! The staff is attentive, and I loved the real bonsai tree in the center. I would highly recommend it, so definitely try it!“
“Impressive quality and value for both the omakase and handroll bar. Though, I think the best time to visit is for $10 handroll happy hour prices on weekdays from 2-5pm.For handrolls, the salmon pate and grilled yellowtail pate are so unique and delicious - I’d highly recommend giving a try.“
“I love Anytime because the vibe is a bit more fancier than other regular pochas you would go to in Fort Lee or Palisades Park.The servers are always nice and attentive.The food is top notch.If you order the honey makgeolli (rice wine) the servers will slice up real honey and put it in your glass.“
“i was blown away by the attention to detail and mastery/execution of every single dish that came out from their omakase. i didn’t take pictures of every piece of sushi that came out but i will simply say that the chef has taken their time to understand the complex flavor profiles of each fish and carefully paired them with the perfect sauces/marinade to best complement their nuanced flavors. every single item served to me that night was delicious and carefully/methodically crafted to delight all the senses.“
“We went to Shinpi Omakase last weekend and had a great time. The chef at was super interactive which made the experience really fun.We got the 15 course omakase for $139. The meal included super cool cuts, the most memorable being Snake Belly Tuna. Our favorite bite was the King Salmon, so fresh and melted in our mouths ?“
“Food was fresh and delicious. Service was prompt. The folks that work here are very friendly and generous. They offered us seared tuna which was delicious. We ordered a couple of rolls and again you can taste the freshness of the sushi. We also greatly enjoyed their beef ramen. Beef was tender and tasty and was the broth. Will be back again.“

“Had a late lunch here with a friend while visiting Cliffside Park. The service, food and atmosphere was good! I really enjoyed my time in this area. I will return when in the area again. I had the spicy ramen, spicy tuna rolls, hot tea and tempura fried ice cream for dessert ?“
“Nestled in NYC's Upper East Side, Me Jin Ramen delivered authentic Japanese flavors. The cozy ambiance and welcoming staff set the stage for a memorable dining experience. I had the Meijin Miso Ramen and ate the whole thing. The broth, simmered to perfection, harmonizes with the chewy, house-made noodles and exquisite toppings like tender beef, bean sprouts, green onions and sweet corn. As a local, I treasure Meijin Ramen for its consistently exceptional quality and comforting atmosphere. For a taste of Japan in the heart of NYC, Meijin Ramen is an absolute must-visit.“
“Suram is one of my best kept secrets in Hudson Yards, but I'm no longer gatekeeping! Setting: Centered near the Hudson Yards Shops and the Vessel, Suram features a dimly lit ambiance with tones of black, silver, and gold. Service: Kind waitstaff and the food came out at an expected pace for a sushi/ramen spot. Food: I got the sake don (salmon bowl - $29) and the spicy avocado crunch roll ($10). Both were at a great value, especially for the location and the flavor. Can't wait to return!“
“Delicious food, love the convenience of just ordering a set and the gratuity already being included. It does feel like the staff is overworked, which has sometimes led to confusion in bringing items to the table but not a big issue. Staff is very welcoming and helpful.“
“The sushi and sashimi were amazing! The Tamago, miso soup and matcha iced tea were wonderful. And the staff here is fantastic! I asked to buy a cup to take as a souvenir for my son- who loves sushi - and they gave me one! Thank you all so much!“
“We went out last Thursday with our friends for an omakase experience in the wonderful place.Located in the heart of the Times Square. There are two restaurants there so dont get confused when entering.Plenty of street (if you lucky) and indoor parking.Seating available by the window or even at chef’s table to watch them cook.All sushi were very unique and tasty. I even ate uni (which i typically dont like)..Drinks were plenty and based on a fact that everyone kept ordering more (i dont drink) - they must have been good.Service was pleasant and not overbearing with “do you want another drink”A la carte menu available if you are not interested in omakase. Prices are very reasonable as compared to similar places in far less busy and popular locations.Check them out.“
“My first omakase experience We got the Omakase $78/ per person and it was very delicious and filling! The chefs were excellent and friendly. Cozy and near indoor space. Fish was high quality and fresh. Melt in your mouth like butter. Definitely check it out! The highlighted ones were our favorites ?“
“If I have to choose one Korean sushi/sashimi restaurant in NJ, then Bada Story Englewood Cliffs is the one. The staff are extremely well trained. The back of house staff knows a thing or two about culinary excellence. And the owner/executive chef has put together an awesome items in the menu.Bada Story’s dinner feast boasts the most extensive assortment of appetizing sashimi in the tristate area. No, it does not come cheap. But the quality of fish they bring out totally justifies the pricing. Even the side dishes (aka tskedashi) is consisted of noteworthy seafood items. Dessert - the seafood soup - is the only thing that’s disappointing, but you are probably 120% over your capacity by the time you get the soup. By the way, isn’t it funny that Koreans eat a bowl of rice and seafood soup for their dessert?Their lunch special is outstanding as well. Whenever I crave sashimi, but I don’t want to spend $250 for a meal, I go to Bada Story for their lunch special. Nicely priced, but not compromised in quality.When the warm drinking water is exceptionally tasty (aka seung-nyeung) you know you are at a well operated restaurant. Highly recommended.“
