If you are a fan of cute things and bomb sushi this is the place to be!! I visited here because I’m a huge fan of the kawaii monster cafe in Japan and have always wanted to experience a little part of it ? Now I have and my heart is so happy
The decor is breathtakingly adorable, the servers / hostess’s put their all into their outfits and it really makes you feel as if you’ve been transported to harujuku! The vibes were wonderful as well, lots of laughter and singing and dancing
Food was 10/10, the presentation and thought that goes into each thing is honestly so cool! I got the imagination Experience and honestly didn’t realize how filling it would be!! Drinks were delicious as well and they had adorable merchandise from kawaii monster cafe as well! ?❤️
A Five star experience from the host (Lovely and Tipsy Kat) all the way to the management staff it was incredible. The best sushi I’ve had in New York City hands-down all my drinks in food came out on a fun conveyor belt, and I was always return to with smiles and friendly conversation. the host taught me about the culture and origin of culture. This Tokyo style sushi spot was an absolute joy even got to see fireworks from their signature dessert will return anytime I’m in the area.

The food tastes just as good as it looks. I highly recommend getting the omakase and enjoy the experience by the bar Kawa style ? ? ?

The restaurant is just a gimmick with awful food. Myself and 3 other guests of mine got sick after eating the sushi. It didn’t taste that great either, so everything is just about the aesthetic and the server was so so. Drinks were okay as well, both too great and for mediocre food the prices are exceedingly high.

Cat themed sushi restaurant with a beautiful ambience. Servers dressed like cats. Everything was pink and pretty. Conveyor belt bar was unique. Nice music playing in the background. Great place to celebrate and party. The sushi was good. Cute place. Decent food.

I was recommended this place by a family member that lives in NY and being that this was my first time in the city I was SUPER excited to try this restaurant out.
It did not live up to the hype or I at least did not receive the experience I was told I’d get. While the ambiance is nice, the food and service were very subpar. For the amount of money I spent, I was not pleased with the taste nor the amount of food provided; I left still very hungry. The rice seemed overcooked, the food was not seasoned well whatsoever and the assembly was pretty messy. It genuinely felt like the food was rushed although I went on a pretty calm day.
As far as service, it wasn’t the best I’ve ever been tended. Due to the food, I requested I speak to the manager and they came off extremely passive aggressive and I wholeheartedly believe my concerns were not taken seriously.
All in all, this restaurant left a bad taste in my mouth (no pun intended) and I would not come back.

The food is terrible and the managers are awful Waiters take forever to assist you and have horrible service The food concoctions are made by someone who clearly has poor taste. The sushi rolls are way too chewy they have too much rice and the fish was spoiled So disappointed because I came here when it first opened and I did not have this experience the first time

Establishment was super dirty and sushi rolls were chewy with too much rice. Was not happy with the service the waiters were also really rude.
Coolest restaurant I’ve ever been! The decor is incredible and so much fun. Usually when there are novelty places like this, you expect the food to be subpar but this was NOT the case. The sushi roll we shared was PHENOMENAL. We went a few days ago and have talked about it every day since. The service was great and honestly the pricing was fair for the quality of food and the absolute entertaining atmosphere that you’re surrounded by - 100% worth it. We can’t wait to be back!

Should preface this with I went for their restaurant week lunch menu. NOT worth it.
Got the small bites and the sushi roll options. The appetizers were cabbage, shrimp and potato salad. All of which were just ok. Then you get 5 pieces for the entree 2 pieces of a roll, and then three pieces of nigiri (two of which were spicy, which to me screams that a restaurant is covering up the taste of old fish). With tip this ends up being close to $40 and you will still be very hungry.
I can’t speak to the regular menu, maybe it’s good, but if restaurant week is supposed to be a showcase of the restaurant and get people interested, it missed the mark.

Vibe was pretty cool but food quality or portion was horrible. I went during NYC Restaurant week, I don’t recommend. We asked for a side plate and never got it.

The experience was really nice and staff was very professional. The decor is nicely themed to the artist Sebastian Matsuda. The food however was just okay but I wouldn’t say it was the best. I would mainly come there for the experience.
