About Jukai

Tucked away below a jazz club, Jukai offers a cozy and intimate dining experience. The restaurant is known for its delicious Japanese food, such as sashimi, braised duck, duck confit, tuna rolls, and Beef Sukiyaki Set for Two. The set comes with four appetizers and a dessert, providing a well-rounded meal. The fish and food are generally great, with some reviews praising the sashimi set, duck tartar, chirashi bowl, duck tongue, and desserts. The hotpot set and Sukiyaki are considered average and quite pricey, with some finding them not worth the cost. The appetizers are small and may not be very flavorful, and the broth in the shabu shabu can be bland. Recent reviews highlight the high quality and freshness of the seafood, with some calling it the best Japanese restaurant in NYC. The shabu-shabu is praised as really good, and the sashimi and sake selections are excellent. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere remains cozy and intimate, perfect for a quiet dinner. The restaurant also offers a selection of wines and drinks, including ginger ale. Overall, Jukai remains a hidden gem for those seeking a delicious and intimate dining experience, despite some dishes being considered expensive and average.
