As atmosphere and settings go this place is up there for cafes in New York. The Japanese style is elegant and perfectly done, excellent service as well. As for coffee, slightly less impressive. They have a limited menu based on pour overs. Their house blend pour over was a 8.0, slightly better than the third wave cafe scene standard but not by much.

The prices may be a little high, but it’s very worth it. The Moonwalk green tea was THE best tea I’ve ever had.The Kossa Gesshe pour over was alright, I found it to be over-steeped though and lacking in the listed notes.Ambiance and decor was hella nice (Japanese inspired obviously), providing a wonderful atmosphere to chill with friends.

Loved this spot! The food was delicious and super reasonably priced. Drinks menu was stacked. The staff were very friendly and the overall place was cozy and a great place to share a meal for any occasion.

So cute cafe really gives the vibe of traditional Japanese! I personally love the food, tastes incredible! And the straws are earth friendly unlike some cafes! Metal straws instead! Although it’s a bit uncomfortable near the back I think the kitchen vent gives a rumble around the walls! Other than that me and my family loved it!❤️??? ??

It is a place tailored for a romantic dinner or with friends, it is not very big and for that reason the service is excellent, the food is delicious and the prices are very affordable. The drinks are very delicious and they also offer breakfast. If you do not speak English, they also have service in Spanish so you can enjoy the experience of a good place 100%. An excellent option for those of us who enjoy Japanese food.

We arrived around 12, they seated us very quickly. We tried the original omurice, the hayashi omurice and the mixed berry hotcake. My favorite was the hotcake, would definitely go back for it!

Really busy spot for comfort Japanese food. The hayashi rice hit the spot and was very flavourful. The egg Sando was really good!

Beautiful and delicious food, efficient service and wonderful ambiance. My group of friends made a reservation for 8. Unfortunately upon being seated, we were told we would only have an hour. For our group size, this made everything feel rushed and hard to enjoy the food and company. It's understandable that they need to be able to keep business flowing, but they should have more flexibility. Each dish was beautifully plated and their menu has a wide spectrum of sweet and savory dishes. All the different teas were flavorful and just the right temperature. Other than being rushed, the service was good and efficient. Pricing felt reasonable too.
Excellent service and delicious food. The house blend coffee and the curry are highly recommended but you cannot go wrong with anything from the menu!

This places get a whoa from me. After every bite of food I said “whoa” because it was so good. The pork belly is a life changing experience. Also amazing bathroom.

Atmosphere was very nice and service was good too.The food left a lot to be desired though. Hayashi and curry, which tastes a bit weird, were barely warm. The kushi katsu was pretty chewy and very small for the price. Tonkatsu was also sorta small and dry as well.White rice and the omurice omelette were cooked well. The hayashi also tasted pleasantly stewy (red wine, tomato paste, etc). Matcha hotcakes were good, still pretty expensive for what it is though.Overall, not worth my money. Sadly, I've had better at fast food joints in Japan for much much less.

The ambiance towards the back of the restaurant was amazing, the food was delicious (pancakes, omurice, siphoned coffee) but above all, the service was remarkable. I accidentally spilled my coffee all over my pancakes and they immediately offered to remake the entire dish for me. Very happy with the experience.
