Booked a birthday dinner here with my girlfriend and had a fantastic experience. The entire staff was professional and welcoming. We were honored to be served by Chef Aki, who is both highly skilled and friendly. The tasting course is very generous you definitely won't leave hungry! The 'Tail' was the standout dish of the night. Highly recommended.

Went to eat by myself, the food itself was great, everything cooked right no point; but the service was really disappointing, most non-Michelin restaurants do a better job than them.
I was the only one who didn’t order alcohol drink that night and instead, I ordered the tea. Everyone else got their drink pretty quickly and I didn’t get my tea after the first dish was served and I had to talked to the chef (yes, not the server, because I wasn’t able to grab them as they were always serving the other customers) and reminded him that I didn’t get my drink. After I finished my first cup of tea, no one came to check or refill for me until I asked them to; after I finished the 2nd cup, again, no body cares…So, for someone who don’t drink, they don’t deserve a good service?

My favorite chicken yakitori place in the city. All the pieces are juicy, taste unique because of the cut and seasoning, and have the smokey flavor of the wood. Come hungry because it’s a lot of food. The staff are all very friendly and professional.

From the second we walked in, the vibe was amazing. Everyone working there was so friendly — you could literally feel the good energy. The small touches made such a difference: everyone personally greeting you, pulling and pushing the chairs, even the chef walking you out when you leave, asking if you need help getting into your Uber. It’s hospitality done right.
And the food… insane. Not one bad bite. Everything was so well done. I also loved the open-kitchen omakase setup — watching them cook everything right in front of you made it even cooler. And unlike a lot of omakase spots, I actually left full. Like, genuinely full — in the best way.
Also, random shoutout to their ceramics — the plates, bowls, cups… all of it. Super nice and added to the whole aesthetic.
Overall just a 10/10 night. Would absolutely go back.

We has a warm and heartfelt evening here. Aki was our grill master! Super delicious, juicy and flavorful chicken dishes made with care and precision. Simple but really beautiful food with high quality ingredients. Definitely will be coming back with family next time :)

First time to visit yakitori. Quite impressive with the different flavor and texture of each part of chicken. Make sure your stomach is empty. It’s darn pretty good amount of food.

Food was incredible. Very authentic and different from your traditional omakase. Service was fantastic with Megumi. Would recommend.
A great menu with each dish and skewer perfectly cooked. Great char and amazing flavour from the grill. It would have been good to see a wider variety of skewers and accompaniments as they were mostly chicken and very simple. I was a little disappointed that the meatball skewer was not served with an onsen egg. The wonton soup was unique and had a silky texture. Loved how the menu finished with a comforting bowl of ramen and a smooth caramel purin. Staff were attentive and welcoming. Overall a fantastic experience!

I've been here twice. Once a year or two ago and again recently. It's gotten even better.

I am Japanese living in NY. Friends in Japan often ask me ‘ can you eat good Japanese food in ny?’ I said we can get more delicious stuff than Japan if we pay twice to triple price. Here is typical one.
