Decent sushi, but no presentation. It's a take out place with limited seats. I will try it again if I don't find anything else near the Grand Central, NOT.

The EWR shuttle stops right outside this little gem of a shop, and it's always my first and last stop in NYC. I usually have a couple of onigiris (kombu and mentaiko this time) and sit in Bryant Park for a bit. The ladies are constantly making fresh onigiris and I’ve never had a stale one. I have also tried their sushi, daifukus and other treats and Japanese soft drinks, and it’s just a place of comfort.

It’s such a nice cute shop/eatery in midtown. The location is super convenient. Only one street south of the Grand Central Terminal.
I tried their nigiri for the first time. I got salmon, spicy tuna, shrimp, chashu, and mentaiko ones. The size was perfect. You can tell from the generic shapes that they are most likely hand made. Overall, it’s a little bland. Good thing was that they cook the rice perfectly, and after chewing slowly over and over, you can taste the naturally sweetness of the rice. They also put somewhat generous amount of stuffing inside.
I also got a spicy fried chicken don and a box of sushi. The spicy fried chicken was indeed quite spicy. The flavor was nice. The chicken pieces were also nicely cooked. It was about average. The sushi was actually surprisingly nice. I got it because of the after 7pm sale. All sushi was 15% off. The box I got had salmon roes, salmon, tuna, some kind of white fish, cooked shrimp, and eel. It also came with tuna and salmon rolls. It was pretty delicious.
It’s not only a takeout spot. There is a ramen restaurant hidden inside. It’s also like a bodega selling goods imported from Japan, including cosmetic products, fresh produce, drinks, and snacks. It’s such a cute shop. I’d like to come back and try their other items.

Super fresh and sizeable omusubi! We went first thing in the morning before we started our day and they were still warm to the touch.

Went here for the first time for lunch. I was very crowded but the staff managed to maintain the place moving in a fast and orderly manner. Had a bento box which was good. Will continue coming here to try other Japanese goodies.

The store is small yet carries so many different things. I went with my friends on a picnic and we grabbed all the things we wanted to try. I saw this place on social media and the food looked tasty (it did not disappoint). The space was clean and the prices are reasonable. I’ll definitely be going back!
Found this hole in the wall after my bagel run. I got so excited just browsing through all the varieties of omusubi they have. I bought several of them and some drinks. I wish the ramen stall inside was open when I came in. For a quick bite or even lunch this place will definitely suffice. I will be back again when I visit NYC.

This is one of my favorite almost secret spots in NYC for a quick bite. Been coming since they opened. I dont even mind the line that now snakes around the whole place during lunch time because it’s worth it and it moves. But Im sorry, it’s the little things. It’s been 3 months now where you dont have soy sauce for your customers, and it’s pretty ridiculous. Feels cheap given how much soy sauce I throw away from every Japanese meal I order on a regular basis. Be better…bring back soy sauce for your loyal customers.

so so good I usually go earlier in the day when the onigiris are fresher but in the afternoon they are grab and go style. I tried the shrimp, tuna mayo, spicy tuna, chashu pork and they are all filled with filling. very cheap lunch spot.

Amazing selection of delicious handmade Onigiri and a wide assortment of bento-style food items plus snacks, drinks, the freshest Japanese seafood selection and various Japanese supermarket items. 10/10 value for your money!
