“This is my first time to eat in this restaurant today, and I found it very delicious when I ate in the restaurant. The food and service are very good and if you want to try good Chinese food, this is a good choice. Finally, I ordered some to go food. It is very good !“

“very kind people💕💕our favorite Chinese restaurant💕nice and always prepare good food's for the customer💕💕five 🌟⭐⭐⭐⭐💕“

“Today I called to order my food and when I went to pick it up I saw that it is more decorated, I always order my food at Osaka Lyndhurst because I like their special roll, I highly recommend this restaurant, it is the best sushi I have ever eaten ???“

“The Japanese and Italian flavors mixed well and are to come back for. I stayed in the hotel where the restraunt was attached. In the area, with a focus of cocktails and table service for an upscale environment, it was delightful.

I love cocktails, and the servers were personable. Nothing pretentious. They focus on service and taste! Our food was excellent and the drinks were even better. It's a pleasant experience.“

“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!“

“Very good food and for the value. From California and our prices for similar sushi would be much higher! Fish is fresh, had the hand rolls which were very good. My friend had the bento and the salmon was a bit dry but otherwise food was good! The sushi taco appetizer and sesame cucumbers were excellent!“

“Put this place on the map!!!! A tried a true, best of the best, MUST go to spot when visiting (or living in) NYC. No exaggeration, my boyfriend and I haven’t stopped talking about this place since we visited last year. We’ll finally be back in town next month and are beyond excited to be dining with them again. Did we book a trip just to eat here!? Maybe… probably… because seriously, this place is exceptional. The owner is the sweetest, most delightful human with an incredible story and the food/service is an unmatched experience. Plus, you simply can’t beat their affordable omakasi prices…but the bigger bonus??? BYOB. Bring your wine, bring your tequila, bring neither or bring both. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a party in the most intimate sense. I never write reviews, but Sushi YOLO is a 10/10, so please, do yourself a favor and go see them before they earn that Michelin Star!“

“The best homemade udon in town , strongly recommended“

“Ramen is good ! Soup is good not so oily Yakitori good with Asahi Beeru !“

“This is my 2nd time here. The last time I had a different chef and yakitori were just OK. But this time it is fantastic. Very well prepared and greatly executed! Attentive nice services. This time iI feel like I am in Tokyo! I had a great time to dine here. I recommend this place for a great yakitori dinner experience!“

“Great Service and the foods was delicious. Will come back here again.“

“Wonderful and friendly staff. Delish food.“

“Sushi Makoto was a very fresh experience. The selection of fish was standard but the other appetizers and dishes were unique. The vibe is awesome— with a little more intimacy than some other omakase spots in the city. As well, for the price point, the value here is great. I’ve paid more for less in the city and it feels like these days it’s hard to find “good” omakase for under $200 PP. Corkage fee is very reasonable, and their sake cooling decide is almost worth a visit in itself!

My only quarrel is that it took some time to get seated, for a reservation at 7, a lot of the guests from earlier were still dining and we weren’t sat until closer to 7:20. Which isn’t the end of the world, but something to perhaps note from a business side. Lastly, I would’ve liked to be offered more at the end of the meal instead of being given the cheque. Perhaps that’s standard protocol but it was not offered to us our evening there.

Regardless, amazing experience. Truly loved this spot.“

“Looking for the perfect spot to enjoy delicious ramen and good company? Look no further! This place boasts a cozy, inviting atmosphere that's ideal for chatting with friends. The service was outstanding, and the food was good. The ramen selection is extensive, and the appetizers and sushi were equally delicious. I especially loved the volcano roll, even with the surprising kick from the jalapeno. Highly recommend for a relaxed and tasty meal.“

“The meal is fast, the food is delicious, and the links are elegant and warm.“

“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!“

“In our opinion, a very nice coffee shop. The coffee tasted good, as did the other dishes. The prices are reasonable. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was great. We enjoyed drinking coffee there and eating a little something!“

“Chic, small restaurant with very good Yakitori Omakase at the dining counter. The food was excellent in terms of taste and quality. The drinks served were perfect. We were looked after very respectfully and politely throughout the evening. We had a very nice evening.“

“This is the best sushi in NY in my opinion. Amazing chef and Shari is just perfect. All Nigiri are great. There are so many mediocre, non-taditional sushi in NY. This place is amazing pure edomae. Highly recommended! I come here many times if I can get a reservation“

“Randomly decided to dine here before a show at Webster Hall. Every single thing we ordered was absolutely delicious. Teppen gyoza, kimchi beef fried rice, dynamite roll, and mango martini. Definitely plan on returning.“

“My fiancé and I are always looking for pockets of home (Hawaii) wherever we are, and we’re grateful to have found Juban in New York City. Not only is the food authentic and delicious (yakitori and sushi are to die for!) but the atmosphere is welcoming and cozy and the staff is like family to us. The sake selection is also on point! If you can, stop by for a drink, some skewers and the vibes.“

“Typically Omakase restaurants are very formal and proper. I planned, we walked in and what a great time. We laughed with all and they gave us free drinks.

Food prep was done with artistically done.

Want to experience a fun Omakase, stop in“

“Our 1st omakaze experience & def not the last! I love the smallness of the place, it makes it special! Everything melts in your mouth! The best Christmas gift ever!“

“Omakase room by maaser for me is the best restaurant in the world.
All Sushis prepared by the chef are heaven on earth.
I eat here since the inauguration and always is absolutely marvelous and perfect.
Thank you so much chef for bringing such joy to my soul with your wonderful sushis.“

“This is a very pleasant restaurant. You can take your family and friends with you... My sister and I had a great time and ate everything we could... The food is very fresh... The place is very clean, and the staff is very enthusiastic and great. I got five stars... You must have a try.“

“Party of eight and we all enjoyed everything we ate and drank. 👍 for the kitchen staff on doing everything perfect and quick. The staff was amazing and service was great. I highly recommend the burger 🍔. Will definitely go back.“

“Great Sushi and Ramen place on Hudson Yard, been here many times. I love their new ramen Shiromaru Classic, signature maki, Suram bowl and Omakase. Their staff very friendly, helpful, great recommendation. Special thanks to Cristian and all his team, fast service.

The place is clean, and surprisingly they got bigger room inside. Cristian explained to me, the room can be booked for special event. Very nice and comfortable. ??? definitely will be back and inform my friends“

“This was amazing! The omakase was reasonably priced and the quality of everything was superb. My favorites were the unique, unagi, oyster, and A5 wagyu. Out chef Wei was so kind and communicative. I also liked the fact that you could order a la carte after the omakase.“

“We spontaneously stopped by Kuu on a Thursday evening and immediately snagged a table. Both the sushi and the two vegetarian ramen soups were delicious and filling.
The service was also very attentive and friendly. We would definitely come back!“

“I’m from Chicago my son and his girlfriend attended your lovely restaurant. We had dessert. The Parfait which I had the Presentation was actually how I seen it instagram it was Delicious and They had the ice cream they also enjoyed it.“

“I am a local from New Jersey now living in Germany, came back to visit and was in the mood for a Poke Bowl. I have to say I have been to many poke places and this is THE BEST ONE. Everything tastes fresh. I love that you have many options on creating your bowl. I also had a taro bubble tea and it was delicious! Employees are very friendly and welcoming. I will be stopping here a few more times before I head back to Germany!“

“The food is just too delicious. Was trying to order the 13 courses since it is our first time to be here but changed it to 17 courses right after the first bite of our first course.
The combination of the piece of sushi is also a piece of art. I am impressed by the creativity the chef has put on the dishes he has made for us.
Thank you so much for this unique experience for our marriage anniversary, Chef DC!
You have made a special dining experience for our special day! Hope to see you soon !“

“This place is just a GEM in the neighborhood!
I love the chef counter and the Omakase experience
I can't get enough of it
And the fresh Uni mmmmmmmm

So so special
Love the ambience atmosphere service food everything!!“

“New places can be hit or misses these days. This one was a big hit. In order to succeed in that location you pretty much have to become a destination spot, and that requires another level skills. These guys got the experience and created something fun and different (for most NYC). Get the fried chicken, cabbage, steak, and spicy tuna on crispy rice. Full report on EatingwithZiggy[.com]“

“Great Sushi, absolutely fantastic, well done guys.“

“It’s really great food especially for the price. I got the chicken teriyaki special for 9.99 and it comes with veggies and fried or white rice. I got no veggies and did half and half rice which they were very accommodating with. I definitely recommend !!“

“Sushi onakase Shinzo best“

“I highly recommend Toriya.
Delicious authentic yakitori with so many options it's hard to choose.
They also offer larger plates and smaller appetizers as well. I had their seafood okonomiyaki which was wonderful.
The drink menu is wonderful offering a good selection of Japanese beers, soju, and a very extensive and well crafted sake menu.
Also I was seated immediately despite dropping in at a prime time on a Friday evening.
The ambiance is very nice, well decorated with excellent choices in music that is not overly loud.
The staff were all lovely and very attentive as well. Truly top notch all around.

Vegetarian options: Numerous vegetable only Yakitori options as well as vegetarian friendly large plates.“

“Gorgeous atmosphere and friendly staff. I loved the open wall concept. Additionally the service was quick and delicious! Can't wait to come back! Edit:
Drinks were Lychee Soda mocktail, Mixed Berry Mocktail. Food was the Wonton Chicken Ramen. I asked for it spicy, if which they gave me some pepper on the side :).“

“You feel welcome once you step into this place. Service is top notch. 12 course dishes are all with very fresh ingredients and very delicious. I would say their Modern Kaiseki is very good even compare to those you find in Tokyo or Osaka. Last, if you are into Sake, you have to try their pairing and the staff their are very knowledgeable on what they pick.“

“Awesome food, atmosphere and service! Place is clean, food is delicious and servings are plentiful. The owner and staff are friendly and very attentive. We were served miso soup which was very tasty and nice and hot. Then came the BonChon. Everything was so fresh and delicious! My husband had the Teriyaki steak dinner and I have the galbi bbq ribs. The owner even brought us a bowl of freshly washed lettuce and gochuchang sauce. We just cant wait to go back!!!!“

“Great spot for a unique omakase experience! It was my first time there, the staff was very friendly and everyone treated us like family, we went with the 18pc course every single item was yummy, We were told some of the crab/fish were even flown in from japan that same day, everything was super fresh. Thank you for a awesome dinner!“

“Amazing intimate tempura omakase experience from start to finish. Considering how small the restaurant is, the reservation only dining, and the attention to detail and to patrons, the pricing is more than fair. Came to celebrate husbands birthday and Daiimu, our waiter was nothing short of giving us the best experience. My husband really enjoyed ten-don in Japan and nothing we had in the US could compare until this experience. All tempura were lightly and perfectly fried. It’s a long meal yes but it’s because you’re supposed to enjoy the meal as well as the company.

Highly recommended and hoping to return in the future.“

“Small restaurant but big flavor.

The chicken teriyaki box is a great deal served fresh with fantastic flavor and came with so many delicious sides. I also tried a couple of sushi rolls and seems like you can't go wrong with any options. I haven't had fresh cuts of fish like that anywhere else! Definitely recommend!“

“I wish I took before pictures of our food. We stopped in after a very long day out and about and the food was so good that we left feeling energized. We got the ocean roll, pork buns, tonkotsu ramen and a spicy tuna onigiri. Everything was delicious!!

The ocean roll was fresh and tasty, the pork buns were just delicious, the ramen was so so amazing- the pork was tender, the broth was so flavorful and all the add ins just did wonders for the the flavor and the spicy tuna onigiri was hands down one of the best we’ve had.

The service was also great! The staff was so friendly and the atmosphere of the restaurant was on par and so cute! We cannot wait to come back and are so happy we found our new go to spot 🤗

“Hole in the wall sushi spot. It’s a small and cozy spot in the LES. The size allows you to enjoy the food and chefs on a personal level. I also genuinely have not had fresher fish than here, every piece was mind blowing, the fact that it’s only $68 for 12 pieces! I’m so impressed and I truly can’t recommend it enough. Better than any Michelin I’ve ever had! Also if you love uni like I do, it’s a must.“

“Such a beautiful spot, of course the best Japanese, with great service, love to come here!“

“This was an incredible Omakase experience. I loved the creativity and uniqueness of each dish. At first you will be surprised on how much Wagyu you will be eating by the display but you will finish it. Each slice melts in your mouth.

Service is warm and attentive. The price was very reasonable. Highly recommend.“

“Incredible. I’ve been a few times and am continually amazed.

It’s a small setup with 6-8 seats at the bar. The fish is top notch and the chef is knowledgeable.

The price is quite reasonable and they offer a wine pairing that will leave you toasty. Can’t recommend enough.“
