This place makes really good udon. It's pretty small so there's usually a wait, but the cozy vibe is actually nice once you get seated. The food totally makes up for having to wait around a bit.

The Udon is quite good. Sashimi and rice is ok.

Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend the kimchi cream udonâso rich and flavorfulâand the gyu don and zuke salmon donburi, both packed with savory depth. The gyoza and yellowtail carpaccio were also standoutsâfresh, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. Iâd personally skip the omu soba and hotate carpaccio, which didnât quite hit the mark for me. Great customer service and a warm, welcoming atmosphere made the experience even better. Will definitely be coming back!

good food. gets really loud though and kind of overwhelming.

It may be Japanese style food, but certainly not Japanese style service.
Multiple staff members were rude and unhelpful. Second time.
Food is decent, but I'll be taking my business elsewhere in the future.
If you are looking for a pleasant experience with your food I'd recommend you look elsewhere too.

Unbelievably tasty and unique food, quick and wonderful service, and fun vibe. By far the best find in New York. Seriously soooo so so good. I donât usually care to leave reviews but this was amazing! Got the creamy kimchi noodles, the omelette soba noodles, ribs, and basque cheesecake. Everything was perfect.

Came on a busy Friday night. Waited about 20 mins to be seated. Food was delicious! Was reeding a lot about the kimchi creamy udon. It was ok. I wouldnât order again. Got the grilled mackerel, taponyaki, empire roll, and Kara age. The summer special drink, mango muse was delicious!
A little loud for families with young children but a good atmosphere with good service. Will be back!
I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was truly upsetting. We are Chinese, and while some staff were polite â especially the one who brought our food â our main server (a short Asian woman with round black glasses) treated us with open hostility from the start. After seating us, she never returned. When we politely asked another server about Wi-Fi due to the poor signal downstairs, she rolled her eyes at us and said ânoâ in a condescending tone.
What really hurt was watching how attentively and warmly she served the white customers right next to us â constant smiles, check-ins, and friendliness. The contrast was striking and impossible to ignore. It felt like racial discrimination, and the fact that it came from someone who is also Asian made it even more disheartening.
We still left a 10% tip, and this server came back angrily insisting we must choose one of their preset tip options â 20%, 22%, or 25% â saying if we didnât, it meant we were completely dissatisfied. When we explained our disappointment, she told us, âThen donât come back.â Iâve never been spoken to like that in a restaurant. If youâre a person of color, especially Asian, you deserve better than this.

This is a very good Korean bbq restaurant. The food is amazing and it is a whole experience have e selection of dishes cooked at your table. The menu is very good. From sashimi and wagyu tartare to bbq skewers and so on. All the dishes we had were just amazing. You order from a tablet at your table. Which eliminates the interaction with a server. But nonetheless the experience was awesome Wish some of the menu items had a little bit of description since it is already digital. The place was really noisy. Well I guess it was just the noisy patrons But all in all a great experience and absolutely amazing food.
