Top 2 sushi restaurant around flatiron. More authentic sushi experience with a unique menus and seasonal selection. Omakase by T O W A - I didn’t “W” in the case of my photos. I was back in town for business and was lucky enough to walk in during looting rain. Overall Would eat here again.

Delicious Japanese restaurantThis time I ordered ala carte rather than sushi as a main dish, and although it was a little expensive, it was delicious.

I would love to see the chip salad back on the menu ! That salad was incredible and it was nice to have a plate of fresh greens on the menu. Please get this favorite of ours back !

We celebrated our anniversary at this amazing place!At the beginning, I was impressed by the person at the front. She took our jackets and led us to our table. We even did not ask where the toilets were, because she provided us that information.Our server Kritwamorpan provided an amazing service! She explained the menu, was extremely friendly and made our evening! Probably, one of the best services that we've had!We ordered Toro Shoyu and Gindara Yuan as appetizers! They were delicious!Futo Maki were tasty, but I would not order them again. Because of their size. They were failing apart.As a main dish we chose Salmon Ikura Donabe. It was delicious! Which is the perfect size for 2 people. Our server Kritwamorpan brought it and did a small show of mixing everything together! She was so attentive that filled our plates again when we finished 1st time.As a dessert we took Panna Cotta. It was tasty and not a big portion.At the end of the dinner, we were so impressed when we got our celebration present! So lovely experience!This place is amazing!P.S. I was surprised that tips are starting with 18% for such top notch service! In comparison to other places, where staff is less attentive and they have bigger tips suggestions.

The exceptional kaiseki here brought us back to our experiences in Japan. Highly recommend the winter tasting menu with the wagyu and salmon roe additions. The restaurant decor is what you find in Tokyo and the staff were extremely welcoming. We will be back!

It was a very average experience for me, and at this price point, there are many more options. We chose the omakase. When we arrived a bit earlier than our reservation time, we found that the first dish was already prepared and ready to be served as soon as we sat down. I didn't specifically request to watch the preparation of this dish, but having it completed and waiting in front of the chef before we even arrived was not a comfortable experience for the customer, I believe.The sake I ordered was poured and taken out in the back without bottle. You can't see if it's real or not.Aside from the sashimi, the dishes, such as the hand roll shown in the picture, were made from fairly ordinary ingredients. Unlike in most omakase sessions, there was no ask for your preference on the portion size of sushi rice. The chef only told us the name of the fish throughout.The final dessert, ice cream, didn't even have a choice of flavors and was very extremely sweet. It was overly frozen, tasting more like a slush than ice cream or gelato.After finishing, the staff didn't ask how it was and just handed us a menu with additional items we could order. Perhaps it would be better to offer this after asking. The whole process felt very hurried, commercial, and ordinary to me.

Delicious Saturday lunch omakase counter experience for $65. We scored a reservation the week before and were seated promptly. The cuts of fish were fresh and well prepared, with the perfect rice to fish ratio. Each piece came out in a timely manner and we never felt rushed while enjoying our food. You have the option to add other cooked foods from their menu as well as additional cuts/combinations of fish. I opted to get their negi tuna hand roll which was amazing, as well as both their desserts to share. It was the perfect place to bring friends, family, or even a date to enjoy a well crafted meal! We loved speaking to the chef and watching him work! I will definitely be back to try their cooked foods!
