Our experience at NR, was mostly positive. The Japanese fried chicken appetizer left us underwhelmed, lacking that special touch. However, the chicken soup curry stole the show with its amazing taste and generous portion size, making it a preferable choice over the ramen.Speaking of ramen, while it wasn't bad, it didn't quite justify making a special trip here for it. There are other spots in the city that excel in ramen. On the bright side, the service was excellent, and the ambiance had a charming speakeasy vibe, evoking the essence of old NYC.Overall, NR is a great spot to visit with a date or friends, offering a delightful experience with standout dishes like the chicken soup curry. However, if you're solely craving ramen, you might find better options elsewhere in the city.

An excellent cocktail bar with food that exceeds expectations! Possibly a reference for all other cocktail bars going forward! And the pickled strawberry was mind-blowing!

Cute Japanese-French restaurant run by Japanese staff! We were super excited to try as had been recommended by several friends. We were walk in with no reservation at Saturday 2pm and was greeted by staff.Ordered the apple pie and yuzu cocktail along with happy hour oysters and appetisers including wagyu tartare and chicken kaarage. All was outstanding and delicious!

When did bartenders become so important that they don’t even bother to assist you when you are at the bar and it’s not even that busy? There are too many interesting places in the whole city for them to be acting like this is the best thing since slice

Great for date night! Went there with my husband last month and it was really good.
Inspiring Japanese ramen bar with an on-point ambiance and delicious food options (including a well-made ramen) that matched with its affordable prices make it a “go-to” spot. $17 a dish. 5/5 stars as a dinner spot.

You might walk past without realizing it's even there but this Japanese restaurant has a sophisticated drink menu with speakeasy vibes. Appetizers offer unique dishes and flavors that you'll have trouble finding anywhere else. Highly recommend and make sure to get a reservation even on a night you might expect to be slow.
