About Chikarashi

Chikarashi is a hidden gem in an unusual location, offering exceptionally good food and fast service. The ingredients are quite good and the bowl recipes unique. The menu features delicious dishes like the goma shoyu tuna and bluefin tuna poke bowls, which some consider the best, and the negitoro and tuna chirashi bowls are especially loved. The portions are generous, and the furikake topping adds a satisfying chewiness. The food is fresh, full, and delicious. The small, cozy space can accommodate around 8 people, with seating available along the walls. The minimalist space keeps the focus on the food. The staff is helpful and friendly, providing excellent customer service, even in complicated situations. While the price hiking has been disappointing for some, and there may be an extra charge for additional sauce, the overall dining experience at Chikarashi is highly recommended for its quality, making it a great spot for poke lovers in Chinatown and a great spot for a quick yet refined bite in NYC.
