The food is good but not so impressive that it's worth going through your contacts and calling people to get a referral. NYC has so many great restaurants. You are not going to miss much if you can't get a referral.

Went here for an early Valentine’s Day dinner with the lady and had an awesome time. Luckily I had read that there were no markings outside and you have to walk down a hallway to get into the restaurant or else I would’ve been lost lol. This contributes to the restaurants super specific, very cool ambiance. I thought the Mac and cheese was good, I thought the chicken karaage, and the truffle creamed spinach were very good, and the wagyu tartare was great! But the main event was the Miyazaki Wagyu steak. This steak was possibly the best I’ve ever had. Upon eating it my girlfriend turned and reported “This is the best piece of steak I’ve ever had.”Drinks were all awesome, experience was great, and I’ll definitely be bringing people to this place. Absolutely loved it.

Came here as it was recommended from friends who have been a few years ago. The restaurant was empty, and we quickly found out why. Starters tasted low quality, and the sushi we ordered (which was incredibly expensive), was horrific. We were going to order the waygu, however after the sushi, we asked to cancel this dish. They then had the audacity to cancel the order, and still charge us $120 for it! Eventually they agreed to take it off the bill, but I have never experienced service like this, especially at a very expensive restaurant. The drinks were great, and the bartend was very nice.

Privileged to have came to this restaurant twice. Intimate setting, laid back, great food and very attentive staff.My love partner brought me here for Valentines Day and recently for my birthday. It’s one of his favorite restaurant. Their tasting menu were exquisite and their ala carte menu is actually really reasonably priced. Definitely holds a lot of food memories here.And special thanks and shoutout to the very well appreciated handwritten greetings with my birthday cake!

An exclusive referral only restaurant that caught our attention. The cocktails were good but the food was adequate. I don’t know if it was because I had my hopes up too high, but definitely planning on returning for more cocktails. Hope to seat at the bar sitting next time when I visit.

The ultimate of speakeasy dining. This venue has special place in my heart as a Warhol and Basquet art lover and foodie for Japanese Waygu and delicacies.

Food was great, but I found the price too high for its portion, even considering inflation. On another note, not sure if it’s exclusive anymore since their menus are on display outside the restaurant.

Amazing service! We walked in for our reservation our waitress worked with us to explore the menu to find things we would like. She would extremely helpful with the options I could eat as a vegetarian. The atmosphere was very midcentury modern, with cozy, & candle lit. I loved the attention to detail and the focus on customers.The mac and cheese was amazing.Would definitely go again and recommend to friends.

Great experience. Food was good and drinks were on point. This speakeasy restaurant was Andy Warhol old apartment. Really cool vibe and overall fun experience

A charming hideaway inside of Basquiat’s former work/live space. Book ahead - there are no walk-ins partially because this is an in-the-know place and partially because the space is small and intimate. The staff is very attentive, the plates are expertly prepared and the cocktails are inspired. Plan to share. Most plates are bite-sized and packed with flavor. Menu items are French-inspired like fondue, tartare, and roasted vegetables with heavy Japanese influences. While sushi was on the menu the night we visited, we stayed focused on the wagyu beef, which was outstanding as a sashimi dish.
Great place to go but only if you have been before. You need to get someone who’s been to take you.Great vibe with a small setting and never crowded. Bar is very fun too with some great drink options and Saki choices.Service is fantastic and very attentive.Food is fantastic from the sushi, to beef to pick rice and so much more. Strongly recommend this place.

I used to love bohemian. But unfortunately after the recent visit, I won’t be back.Everything went downhill after covid. Quality, amount of food, and even service. The price went up significantly. I wonder if owner or management changed? This place won’t survive with current offering, price point and quality.Menu items changed a lot as well, lots of sushi on the menu (which doesn’t reflect their personality, nyc doesn’t need another sushi place) and most of their westernized menu with Japanese twist are gone.It takes so long to get server’s attention. Every food item were about 30-40% portions less with increased price but with low quality produce and poor execution. I understand about price hike due to inflation, but this is quite ridiculous - I posted some photos from my visit so you can compare with past pre-covid bohemian dishes.I won’t be back nor recommend the place to others any longer. I used to visit bohemian at least once per 3-4 months prior to covid and extremely disappointed about the recent visit. I’m very sad- bohemian used to be my favorite restaurant in the city.

Just trying to search for bohemian sets the stage for the wonderful experience you are about to have. The menu is made fresh every day and the entire staff is so focused on ensuring you have a wonderful dinning experience. The food was outstanding, our favorites being the salmon rice and pork belly rice. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful and took our dining experience to the next level.

The most magical place— a solace in the city, and a second home for visitors from Japan. This is more than a restaurant.Attention to detail in all facets, boundless kindness from staff, incredible, purposeful bartending, and the best food with the freshest ingredients.

Prior to Covid, bohemian was one of the hardest reservations to get in the city. It’s a little easier now with outdoor dining now so you need to act fast! I’ve loved this place for years and happy to report it’s still fantastic after my recent visit.This was stop number one of an epic food crawl with my friends. We had planned to only get a few items here to get our palates excited. But just when we thought we were getting the check, Kadoi-san surprised us with a Washu Beef Steak! This steak is honestly better than many other steaks you’ll find in the city. The pork belly rice was also amazing, but the best bite of the night for us was the foie gras sushi. It was seared to perfection and melted like butter in the mouth.We’ve got another month and a half of outdoor dining here in NYC, so go out and support the restaurants you love and help keep them around forever!Swipe through to see what we had!-1. Washu beef steak w/ crispy sweet potatoes2. Conger eel sushi3. Foie gras sushi4. Burdock pork belly foie gras kamameshi - rice steamed with pork belly and burdock topped with foie gras soy sauce and chives5. Kadoi-san6. Same as number 4
