The food was absolutely delicious. Each dish was perfect. The restaurant has several “rooms“ which is perfect at keeping the noise level down so that we were able to enjoy conversation with our table mates.

Fugu is not so amazing as it is said (at least not worth trying in the risk of being poisoned), but sashimi combo is still exceptional. I love so many different kinds of raw fish! High price, but authentic food!

One of the best vegan/vegetarian meals in the city. Everything was meticulously prepared and highly flavored. Incredible performance by the chef! To top it off our waitress was so attentive, thinking about what we could need before our asking. And always so pleasant. Great great value!!!! We will see you again soon!!!!

Friendly staff. Authentic, delicately prepared Japanese cuisine. You get what you pay for. We topped off our meal with delicious dessert and were pleasantly surprised when they took it off the bill, knowing that we were celebrating our birthdays. It was a nice touch. They paid attention to the reservation notes!

Nippon is the greatest. The soba is the best in NYC and a bargain at that. The sushi is traditional and wonderful. The service is perfect and very respectful. The restaurant floor is split into sections so you don't have to yell to be heard by your companions or get bumped into by the next over table. AWESOME ‼️

When coming here I came from the knowledge that Beef Negimaki was invented in this restaurant. It was a blissful starter for my meal. After I had the Godzilla Curry as my entree and it was perfect. Just the right temperature for rice and curry with a hint of spice that just relaxed me with my green tea by my side and a water. I will come back for more with my family to try more dishes

The food was good. I had Shokado Bento Box. The price? I think overall foods are overpriced. My guest had a Sushi lunch. That was $60 worth $40 at most. My lunch box was $45 worth $25-30 at most. I looked at the pictures before going to the restaurant; therefore, I knew the prices. I reconfirmed my sense of monetary value to the dishes today. Maybe I am a cheap person, but I don't think so.

Excellent all around. The sashimi was on par with what you get in Japan.
Good business lunch location that has the feel of Tokyo on the inside. Not amazing service and very few frills, but the food is good and served in traditional style, including a large number of fish options flown in. The restaurant is a staple in midtown and somewhat famous for being Michael Jackson’s favorite sushi spot in NyC, so there is definitely a bit of mystique and nostalgia to it, but not really a social atmosphere.

I visited a few years ago to try the puffer fish, and it was a great experience. The food was good, and the management took the time to share the history of puffer fish with us, which made the visit even more interesting.

So far the most authentic place I’ve found in the city. Excellent and courteous service very much in the Japanese way. Stopped in for lunch and was seated at the high top and got to watch sushi and tempura being made (So cool) had the bento box for lunch and it was exactly as a bento boxes ? are in Japan. I will absolutely be returning (must try the tonkastu next!)
