Hands down some of the most fantastic ramen I've eaten. Having visited Japan multiple times, I can confidently say this place is authentic and top-tier. If you appreciate high-quality ramen, you have to eat here. You absolutely have to try the Tonkotsu. A must-visit!

I had such an amazing birthday experience at Benihana, and a huge part of that was because of Amada! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel welcomed, celebrated, and completely taken care of. She walked us through the entire process with such warmth, professionalism, and patience, making everything smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Amada truly went above and beyond to make my birthday feel special. Her energy, attention to detail, and genuine kindness elevated the entire experien

A fantastic omakase experience from start to finish. Every piece of sushi showcased remarkable freshness, exceptional quality, and meticulous craftsmanship. Chef Ben curated a wonderful progression of flavors, textures, and seasonal ingredients, with several bites delivering truly memorable bursts of flavor that lingered long after the meal. The restaurant offers a calm and intimate atmosphere that enhances the dining experience without feeling overly formal. Minty provided attentive, knowledg

A dear friend of ours, who has lived in New York for many years, suggested IPPUDO after sharing how it had become a tradition to bring his family here, and for good reason. Everything here is absolutely phenomenal. IPPUDO makes their noodles and broth on site, and those details make all the difference. The ambience is relaxed and inviting. A great way to enjoy a great meal at your pace. We showed for lunch on a Monday afternoon, and were seated and served very quickly. Our server was very enga

Ichiran specializes in one type of pork broth ramen and they do it really well. I had always enjoyed my meal there and find it a place to go when it is cold or I am craving comfort food. While there is only one type of ramen, you do get to make customizations regarding saltiness, spiciness, and toppings. You order at the front counter and then they will direct you to a solo booth where they will collect your order and serve you your food. It’s a very unique dining experience. You will be seated

I'm so pleased to walk by this place. I'm solo and felt very welcomed. Food was so tasty. Grilled aubergine and karate chicken were delicious but I really loved the fr8ed aged tofu!! Enjoyed it all with sake. Shout out to Palm who helped me choose what to eat and have a nice chat.

I’ve been coming to Shiro Sushi almost every week because the food can be good. However, the biggest issue is consistency, and lately it’s been getting worse. The flavors are not always the same from visit to visit. One time I was served food that was cold, and on another visit I unfortunately found plastic in my food, which was very disappointing and concerning. Service has also been inconsistent. Sometimes the servers seem too busy talking among themselves, which makes it hard to get attenti

This new sushi spot is an absolute gem and earns every bit of a 5/5 from me! The rolls were fantastic — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The gyoza was also a standout, perfectly crispy on the outside and packed with flavor. One word of advice: come hungry, but don’t go overboard ordering. The portions here are seriously generous — two rolls per person is more than enough to leave you satisfied. Pace yourself! Not everything was a hit for me personally — the ground squid ball appeti

Came here for the lunch menu special here. I was a couple mintues late, little did I know the time. But the good side is that they honored the lunch special even though I was a couple mintues late. The place is still quite during work hours. Location is close to the tourist areas but not much foot traffic yet accessible. They have a nice variety of food and drinks to choose from. Sushi and the rice is freshly made and served quick. I haven't come here during the busiest hours after work yet.

We shared everything family style at Tonchin New York, and every dish was fantastic. It’s easy to see why this restaurant has been recognized in the Michelin Guide since 2019. For appetizers, we had the Original Tonchin Maguro, Tebasaki Curry + Cheese Wings, Gyoza, and the Unagi Rice Ball. Everything was packed with flavor and perfect for sharing. For our main course, we ordered the Tonchin Classic Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen, which was rich, comforting, and exactly what you want from a great bowl of

Great spot for Japanese barbecue. Servers are very helpful and options are endless. I gad the lunch special which had soup and salad. Honestly the soup was unnecessary for me but the salad was very good and provided a nice balance to all the rich meat. I had the fried rice and it was delicious but when added to the meat/fish options a lot of food. The sauces are very tasty. Overall I enjoyed this restaurant very much.

Went on a whim and made reservations a few hours before for my latest exercise in gluttony. To be clear, if you’re looking for an authentic, traditional Japanese omakase experience, this is not exactly it. And they’re not pretending it is either. However, the cuts of fish are good and you will definitely get your money’s worth. Following two small appetizers and 11 respectable pieces of sushi (some of which have uni, caviar and foie gras as toppings), you’re given three rounds of unlimited pie

We came here for dinner, and the place was absolutely packed. We had to wait about 20 minutes for a table, but it was 100% worth it. Once we were seated, the service was fast, attentive, and efficient despite how busy the restaurant was. The food was outstanding! My favorite was the Yaki Corn, perfectly charred and smoky, coated with buttery seasoning, topped with grated cheese, and finished with a hint of spice and fresh herbs. Every bite was sweet, savory, creamy, and incredibly addictive. It'

Ichiran is hands down one of the best ramen spots I’ve ever been to and easily my #1. The ramen is on another level—rich, perfectly balanced, and packed with deep, authentic flavors that burst in your mouth with every bite. The chashu is incredibly tender and flavorful, literally melting in your mouth and taking the ramen to the next level. From the broth to the noodles, everything is done to perfection. The employees are respectful, attentive, and quick whenever you need something. This place i

Momoson Ramen and Sake Bar is the best ramen I’ve ever had - so much so I travel to NYC just for this ramen (and I’m from Chicago). I can handle spice very well, and the Spicy Ramen and Yuzu ball make it the best meal. It’s also the best chicken karage that I’ve had. Their dinner package allows you to get a ramen and app, so make sure to get this! When in NY, I have it about 3 times a week. On top of the amazing food that mandates a frequent trip to NY, the service here is incredible. I had the

Shinpi Omakase was absolutely incredible. We came to NYC for the first time and were craving sushi on our very first night. After deciding to try Shinpi, we quickly realized we made the right choice—it exceeded all of our expectations. From the food to the service, this was easily one of the best omakase experiences we’ve ever had. The ambiance was intimate, modern, and beautifully inspired by Japanese design. With only a small number of seats, the experience felt exclusive and personal, which

It is relatively a small sushi restaurant/bar. Sushi is freshly hand rolled with the warm rice right in front of you. We had different 6-hand rolls and The Nozie- all rolls were fresh and tasty. The sashimi menu is very limited, literaly 3-4 choices only. The sitting situation are stools by the bar, no tables or chairs at least at W 28th St location. I'd go there for lunch or brunch unless you like to order a lot of sushi for dinner. Big plus was that we walked in without any wait which, as I w

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Visited this hibachi spot and overall had a really good experience. When we first arrived, they seated us at a very crowded table, which made it hard to enjoy the show or even have a conversation. We asked if they could move us, and thankfully the staff was understanding and quickly found us a much better seat. After that, everything improved. The food was super delicious — fresh, well‑seasoned, and cooked perfectly right in front of us. The chef had great energy, the portions were gene

Love the atmosphere and service, and it’s also open late-night with plenty of drink options. Easy to walk-in depending on the time (we went on the later side during a week night so didn’t need a reservation). I think the menu can be a bit hit-or-miss. I got the oyakodon bowl which I found quite fatty and oily, overall tasted OK. The skewers and beef udon were also okay, not the best but satisfied our cravings. I really didn’t like the salmon as the sauce they put on top was very mayo-heavy and

Went on a Sunday night and there was still a waitlist an hour before closing! Still got me in and I got my food pretty quick. Front-of-house and servers were really chill and informative. Pretty transparent about timing on last calls and availability. Food was delicious— I want to go again :,) marinated Wagyu cubes were the most tender. Feel free to try other meats but just know that not everything will be the melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu (I got the silver menu tbf) Unprompted review, btw. Louie

I got the World Cup $26 meal deal. This place has been on my list, so I was looking forward to trying it. The limited cup was a nice bonus. The yuzu lemonade was too watered down, so I'd recommend getting the beer instead if you can handle alcohol. The tuna tartar was great, although fyi it is a little spicy. I got the chili ramen. I wasn't a fan of the soup, and it would have been nice to get more than one piece of meat (in the picture it looks deceivingly like two since it is partially submer

Really enjoyed our visit to Hachikawa Sushi. The fish was very fresh and you can taste the quality right away. Everything was nicely presented and made with care. The restaurant is clean and simple, and the service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a great spot for sushi in the area — we’ll be coming back!

An unforgettable dining experience from start to finish. The ambiance at Nobu Fifty Seven is elegant yet welcoming, and the service was absolutely impeccable. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with incredible flavor. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and made the entire evening feel special without being overbearing. Whether for a celebration or just an amazing night out in NYC, Nobu Fifty Seven delivers on every level. Easily one of the best restaurants in the city — five s

Outstanding service can make a busy restaurant unforgettable and Brian did exactly that. Even though the place was packed, our wait was only about 10 minutes. Brian, who mentioned he’s a chef (and may even be the owner), took care of us and was incredibly attentive from start to finish. He went above and beyond by making us a custom crispy rice dish that wasn’t even on the menu topped with spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber, and spicy mayo. It was absolutely amazing and truly top-tier. Despite how

Bartender Tiara always brings a welcoming vibe and provides excellent service. She’s friendly, attentive, and helps create a great atmosphere every time I visit. Highly recommended!

Went here with a friend, and it was really nice. We got a reservation and arrived a few minutes early, and were sat down quickly. Some of the meat wasnt my favorite, but it's of personal taste. I could tell the meat was good and good quality, I just personally wasnt a big fan of every piece of it. The sides that came along with the Meat Lovers was very good too.

I dined recently and really enjoyed the food. I particularly liked the 10 course tasting progression and uni add-on. I also thought the value was excellent. I wanted to share one small observation because it stood out to me. During the meal, my area was never really cleared/reset between courses, and after ordering a bottle of sake, it was never poured throughout dinner, not even the first pour. The restaurant was not especially busy at the time, I was sitting at the bar. There was an obvious

Yeni was attentive and gracious, setting a welcoming tone right from the start. The miso vegetable ramen was comforting and full of flavor, while the fried chicken wings had a unique twist that made them stand out. The shrimp ramen was outstanding, spicy and tangy at the same time, with the veggie gyoza and edamame rounding out the meal perfectly. If you enjoy cozy hole in the wall spots with freshly prepared ramen and pho, Naruto in New York City is well worth a visit.

First off, the atmosphere and decoration is beautiful. The wait staff is amazing, very attentive and professional. We ordered a fried dumplings and Wagu beef on skillet. They are good but could be better in my opinion. The star of the show are definitely the Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen and the Miso Ramen. Both are amazing the broth is creamy and the taste is very balanced and easy to enjoy. Me and my kids really enjoy them. We finished with Matcha Cheesecake that we absolutely love. Overall, great

My friends and I have started going often because the drinks are the best when Santiago is there, his customer service and dedication are exceptional. The food is Delicious and when your bartender knows your order before you even place it makes the service even better !! Thank you Santiago !!!

Tomi Jazz in NYC was such a cute date night spot. Just know before you go, they don’t take reservations, and the place is small. I had seen reviews saying the average wait was around 1.5 hours, and that was pretty much exactly how long we waited. Honestly though, it was worth it. Once they led us downstairs and inside, it felt like we had stepped into this cozy little underground Tokyo jazz bar. The whole place had such a warm, intimate vibe, and the live music was actually so good. Very cozy,

Hidden along Brooklyn’s 7th Avenue, Ten-Ichi Ramen serves the kind of ramen that feels especially rewarding on a rainy day or cold evening. The miso broth is the star — rich, creamy, deeply savory, and comforting without becoming overly heavy. But what really elevates the bowl is the smoky char siu. Lightly torched with crisp caramelized edges, it adds another layer of depth that lingers between bites and gives the ramen a subtle flame-kissed finish. The toppings feel balanced and thoughtful — s

Nice Japanese restaurant with great ambience and decor. I had yellowtail carpaccio, 1/2 dozen raw oysters, and some nigiri (which are sold as individual pieces). It was all very good. The oysters were on the small side, but they were a happy hour special at the bar. Bartender was very nice, but she was pretty busy. I liked the place a lot and will probably hit it again before I leave.

So our family had a little tradition when we travel and that is to visit Ippudo in every city that has one. It started in Japan and has now become a mission as we travel around the continental U.S. It has been cold in New York dying our visit so a hot bowl of ramen was just what the family wanted. A mere minutes away from The Muse hotel on 46th street, we were able to walk right in close to 9:00 p.m. and were met by a warm and friendly server. We enjoyed all of our favorites and a couple of co

This is my first time visit since they changed the chef. I was a little worried the taste might be different, but it was actually even better!! The appetizer was perfectly fried, the Karaage was sooo juicy inside. Perfect match with the highball & beer! My sister and I were already happy from the beginning but once we tasted the sushi, we were so surprised by how delicious and fresh it was. We both love sushi, and it's been a long time since we've had sushi this fresh and tasty in the neighborho

If you’re after good sushi and sashimi in Lower Manhattan, this is definitely the place to go. We tried their “Trust Me” set menu, which is a great sampler showcasing a variety of what they offer. Everything was fresh, delicious, and well balanced, and the portions felt just right. The staff were attentive and friendly, and the pricing was reasonable for the quality of food you’re getting. The place has a dark, dimly lit atmosphere, which might not be for everyone, but it actually fits the clas

The food was great, the drinks were great, the vibe was AMAZING! You feel like you’re walking into a classy yet chill environment where there’s attention to detail in every aspect. The menus are focused while providing something for everyone. I’m a bourbon guy and I REALLY enjoyed their take on the old fashioned. The effort that goes into making the ice here is premium cocktail bar quality. My ice barely melted the entire time. You see them working large blocks of ice down to specific shapes by

Hidden gem in Chelsea! 🍜✨ This minimalist industrial-style ramen spot is easily one of my favorite ramen places in Manhattan, and everything is super affordable. The Spicy Tonkotsu was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced—the spice added a nice kick without overpowering the pork broth. The chashu was huge and melt-in-your-mouth tender. They also have a non-spicy version if you prefer! The Spicy Shrimp Ramen was another highlight. The shrimp were massive, already peeled, and incredibly fresh a

I really love this omakase, not just because it’s great value, but because the quality is amazing. The fish is incredibly fresh, and you can tell Chef Ronald puts so much care into every piece. He’s also super friendly and easy to chat with, which makes the experience even better. I left feeling very full and completely satisfied.

Excellent sushi dishes and rolls. Omakase offered but not counter seating, served at your table. Reservations suggested given it is very busy at dinner time. Some steps from the entrance to the dining room. Recommend the spicy scallop roll, sushi entrees and the fried oysters.

Was pulled to this place due to the number of amazing meal sets. We personally got set B for two people. Great for couples going on a date. Many options and sensible pricing. Good food! Would come back! Service was exceptional with the host being extremely considerate and the servers being speedy and effective. Broth was generally flavored! Enjoyed it!

Here’s a polished review you can post: Stopped into Nobu for a quick bite after work, and it was exactly the kind of effortless, elevated experience that makes this place so special. I kept it light with the yellowtail jalapeño appetizer, yellowtail tartare with caviar, and a grapefruit martini — and every bite and sip was spot on. The yellowtail jalapeño was clean, fresh, and perfectly balanced, with just the right kick of heat. The yellowtail tartare with caviar felt luxurious without being

The sushi quality is pretty mediocre. The rice falls apart, the ingredients are bland, but I guess it’s perfect for tourists and for people who have no idea what good sushi is supposed to taste like.

I still think Nakazawa is one of the best omakase in the city without breaking the bank. We sat at the sushi counter, its 21 pieces with the ability to add on additional pieces. Food was excellent, service was super attentive, staff was friendly/polite, and the chefs were engaging. I would def recommend checking out the restaurant.

Amazing authentic Japanese eatery, all the food was cheap and tasty, our favorites were the pork belly yakitori and tonkatsu kimchi. We did try some delicious home made Japanese sodas peach was our favorite. Once we got the bill the waiter brought us 2 mini cups with flavored sugar. We did not what it was for so he told us there is a cotton candy machine outside where everyone can make their own desert. That was a cool touch. Best time to come is when they are opening at 5 if you don't want to w

Absolutely one of the best sushi spots I’ve tried recently. Everything was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented — you can tell they really care about quality and details. The specialty rolls were packed with flavor, perfectly balanced, and the sauces complemented the fish without overpowering it. The sashimi was super fresh and melted in the mouth. The grilled skewers were also amazing — juicy, flavorful, and perfectly charred. Even the miso soup tasted comforting and authentic. The atmo

The experience was decent overall. None of the flavors were especially memorable, but everything was executed to a solid and reliable standard. The restaurant feels like a place where you can find a wide range of options depending on what you are in the mood for, and the dinner wait was not particularly long The set meal I ordered was beautifully presented, with layered bowls arranged across the entire tray. Before the food was even tasted, the visual presentation was already enjoyable. I tend
