I and two of my friends ate dinner here for the first time this evening and keeping it short we all three were left feeling disappointed . We tried the omakase and not only were we left hungry (not uncommon, I am used to smaller portions at omakase) but also underwhelmed. From the cold appetizer dishes that both consisted of marinated vegetables to a very underwhelming 6th and final plate that consisted of just two chicken wings with minimal flavor and a side what seemed like prepackaged potato salad. Ps. we have to another restaurant to get food after this, so we can fill our poor stomach!!!!

Delicious omakase, and the service was great. Low stress environment with no wait time around 6-7:30. Will come again!

The waiter was very polite and kind.
The food was authentic Japanese cuisine, but the portions were quite small. I should have asked for white rice when the baked fish was served.
I think this restaurant is especially good if you enjoy drinking sake.

Really nice place to eat late at night
Authentic Japanese restaurant you can enjoy legit food. The portion is little too small but it was really good.
Our noodle took little too much since we waited more than 30mins for soba and Udon. 😢

Beware: this business forces customers to tip a minimum of 10% or more, disregarding the basic principle that tipping is voluntary and at the customer’s discretion. This is a poor and unethical business practice.
Traditional omakase menu, very affordable and no tipping policy. They have a late night menu as well. Both times I visited, we had already eaten earlier and didn't want to order the full omakase. Each time the bartender was kind and asked the chef if he could prepare a 3 dish course for us, and the chef kindly agreed. Each dish was excellent--traditional Japanese cuisine. Next time, I will definitely try the full menu or go after 11pm for the late night menu.

This was three years ago. It was past midnight. In the base of an ordinary Manhattan apartment building, an unmarked door and a curtain concealed an izakaya. I stepped through, and the city fell away. I was in Sapporo.
Inside, it was loud—but not American loud. This was practiced loudness, rhythmic and intentional. Loud but you can still hear a needle dropping. Japanese men in loosened ties laughed from deep in their chests, slapping shoulders with the ease of repetition. Their voices collided like waves. Across the room, a woman spoke in a thread-thin voice that wove beneath theirs. I didn’t understand a word. It felt like watching someone else’s memory loop quietly in the background.
The chef didn’t smile. He didn’t need to.
I ordered the omakase. Dishes arrived in calm succession—chilled tofu, soft fish, a bitter broth that reminded me of a conversation I’d rather forget. The food didn’t ask to be liked. It wasn’t polished, or photogenic. It simply existed, as if made by someone who knew you were hungry, not searching.
At one point, the chef looked at me. Just once. He knew I didn’t belong. I stayed anyway.
When I stepped back outside, the curtain swayed shut behind me. Manhattan returned in a rush—cold, electric, indifferent.

Another restaurant became disastrous. Fish is very salty, complain to the waitress , no exchange or no refund at all. Then the waitress decided to spill water on my phone and my pants in the end. But it is smart to factor in the tip in price already so no feedback is needed from the customer. Great. If you need to calm down from a happy day this is the place to come.

Awesome place for AYCE omakase with free flowing sake. Quality of sushi is very good as regular omakase.
