Sushi here is good however the craft cocktails are exceptional. If you’re thinking about hanging out with friends and kicking back with a few drinks, this is the place. Don’t bother going elsewhere in the neighborhood. I cannot stress the level of expertise and excellence that go into every cocktail. Two thumbs up and keep up with the great job.

Wow, this place is beautiful! Great interior design and artwork. But wait, the sushi and sashimi was delicious too. And the service was great. Friendly and prompt. Right by McCarren Park too? Great location. Definitely looking forward to falling into this place again soon.

Loved this Japanese Restaurant. It is a beautiful space. The murals are beautiful. It is beautifully set up. The playlist they had on was very good. The service is wonderful. The food comes out quickly but at a good pace. You don't feel rushed. The food was 😋. I had the lunch special ($16) which includes choice of Soup or Salad, one roll (large selection) and an Entrée (choice of Salmon, Chicken, Tofu and Steak) they come with White Rice and Vegetables. I had the Miso Soup, White Tuna and Jalapeño Roll and Steak. The Vegetables that came with my Steak were Onions and Peppers. I don't know if it's the same Vegetables on all the Entrées. I would think it is. Everything was made to perfection and beautifully presented. They also have other lunch specials and an A La Carte Menu. We only had water but they do have a full bar. Dessert was not included but we ordered it anyway. I had the Mochi Green Tea. The Ice Cream itself was Green Tea and it tasted great but I don't think I would order Mochi Green Tea again. My friend ordered Tempura Cheesecake. I tried a little piece. It was interesting. The Cheesecake was very creamy and sweeter than New York Cheesecake. This place is good for dining with others and also for Solo dining. I have to come back to try some things from their A La Carte Menu and to try one or two of their Cocktails.

Great spot for sushi! The patio space was great, and the whole visual vibe of the restaurant was open, trendy, and accessible. Service was quick and friendly. We split the pork gyoza, charred edamame, and purple potato fries with matcha mayo and they were all AMAZING! The spicy girl roll was my favourite. All the sushi was fresh and colourful, and tasted so good. Definitely recommend, and will keep on a list for future NYC visits.

This place is 100% a GEM. I came here after an appointment cause it caught my eye. I ordered the katsu curry lunch special and what a treat it was. The plate came with a soft boiled egg which was boiled perfectly. It was marinated in mirin and soy, very nice detail. The katsu was fried nicely. The chicken was moist and delicious. On the side was Bulldog brand sauce. OMG!!! No restaurant serves Bulldog sauce. Curry itself could have been slightly richer. $16 is ultra reasonable. I needed a little bit extra, so I checked the menu and found chutoro and otoro. That's unheard of...I rarely find any restaurant serving either. Be aware that it is pricy, but it's worth a try if you've never had it before. Staff is super responsive and friendly. When any of the servers saw my cup empty, they'd come over and top me off. The decor is reminiscent of Japan. The wood furniture and amber light really sets this place apart. Glad I stopped in for lunch.

Chicken Karaage was delicious and the pork gyoza and tonkotsu ramen were tasty and nicely prepared. This place exceeded my expectations. Totally recommend for a nice Japanese lunch.

I have been coming back here couple times after first visited. Mostly come with my friend and she is okay with this place. Today she is in a mood for sushi so this restaurant is around my neighborhood. We have Sashimi Ozara, Kama island, Toro Dynasty, Pork gyoza, Purple Fries, Yaki shishito pepper and 2 bottle toro tempranillo torque. Food is good but at the beginning my friend complain about the waitress that she is not focus and looks like she is out of energy, she forgets lots of stuff like our share plates, napkins, glasses. But there is another waiter that came to our table and get the order or something we want. overall, I still like this restaurant. The location is right near McCarren park and they have dog friendly seat outside, after you walk your pup and you are hungry you can stop by this place.

Terrible takeout experience tonight. Come here often because it’s quality takeout sushi for the price. Made a to-go order to eat at a bar in the neighborhood. Specifically asked if there were chopsticks and soy sauce in the bag and was assured everything was in there. Get to the bar to find no chopsticks, no soy sauce, and no napkins. Had to eat with my hands and without soy. Ruined the whole order for me.

I'm sorry, I rarely leave bad reviews but the meal doesn't look that way because it is half eaten, they came barely holding together. I ordered the lunch three roll combo. The yellowtail was slimy and tasted off. The tuna and salmon rolls were decent.

We were two, we ordered appetizers and two main courses. The appetizers were really good: some shrimp spring rolls and very tasty pork gyoza. For the main course, we ordered a special tuna roll with shrimp, which was excellent! However, where it failed, and it failed miserably, was with the chicken teriyaki. It wasn't the sauce that failed, it was the chicken itself... You could tell they were leftover chicken pieces, mostly cartilage and a lot of fat. The chicken was really bad. If I ever come back, it would be by chance, I wouldn't purposely return. The service was very good, but the beer selection was limited, and the ones I requested from the menu were not available. The three stars are two for the service and one for the food. The selection of the chicken pieces was very poor.

Kind of a random assortment of food to snack on, but happened to stop by @amami_bk after some shopping in the neighborhood. Outdoor seating was pretty nice and I enjoyed sipping on my ice matcha while eating yakitori (it’s been too long)! Not bad for US standards, and it came with both tare (sauce) and shio (salt) so you get to try both kinds. Might have to try some of their other stuff next time!

Some of the worst Japanese food I’ve had. We got the pork gyoza, tonkotsu ramen and special chicken ramen. Im sure everyone uses frozen gyoza but they used some particularly cheap ones that taste like jimmy dean sausage with no other flavor for $10. They had a nice presentation but were lackluster. The ramens were particularly shocking and bad. The special chicken ramen which boasted a 12 hr broth tasted like they did not clean the bones — dishwater and chicken feather flavor. The roasted chicken was nice but the other components just felt a bit old. The broth was honestly just gross and also flavorless. The tonkotsu was pretty lackluster. Really lacking broth in richness and flavor. The pork chashu was crazy, it was purple ish and did not taste fresh. Prices also seem a high compared to similar Japanese restaurants in the area on top of everything else. I find it difficult to find a spot with bad food in New York and I like to give the benefit of the doubt but holy moly that was not good. Maybe it’s really best to just stick to sushi as that seems to be a focus for a lot of people and maybe they put their focus there but wow really not great .
