MAA-MAA JAPANESE We spent 10yrs in Tokyo and loved our time there. Dining here at Benemon was disappointing. The Yakiniku Don was super salty. The cocktail was decent. The Karaage is OK. The Sesame Pudding so-so. Overall… average. Which is not what one would expect from a cuisine built from a reputation of “craft”, beauty and taste. And they kept serving me my dessert before I could even have my Main Dish. Not Japanese service. Zannen!!!

Solid prices, great value for the sushi. They have awesome lunch prices too. Service / staff was excellent. It’s a good spot for birthdays too since they bring out a drum and single happy birthday (and you get a candle in a scoop of ice cream). I walked in for dinner on a Monday around 7:30pm and there was some open seating. Highly recommend the crunchy rice and spicy roll combo. I gave a 4 for atmosphere because the lights at the sushi bar are too white / bright, but maybe good for the sushi

my all time favorite sushi bar. Everything from the service to the food is chefs kiss. the portions are huge and the quality of the fish is so fresh. Unfortunately, I found this place so late in life but I never miss a chance to go back. I moved out of state just half a year after finding this spot so I can't go back as much as I would like but I ALWAYS make a reservation whenever I'm back in the city and I always bring new friends. I love this place and if you're finding it for the first time,

Masaaki is an absolutely unexpected gem. Lovely Japanese restaurant with an inviting atmosphere. Valet is also available, parking around this area can be challenging. The food, cocktails, and service were truly incredible. For cocktails, I had the lovin’ lychee and my friend had the cosmo blossom. Both drinks were tasty and strong. Edamame was complimentary. We ordered the foie gras roll, crispy duck roll, chilean sea bass, and exotic bomba. My friend and I enjoyed everything, our personal favor

Mind blowing!!! An absolute pleasure of flavors and craftiness in each plate , service was friendly and quick! The Mongolian beef was delicious! Best general T’so chicken and I mean yes totally is ! Definitely a must go on the go!

I go the shrimp tempura and shrimp shumai. The best shrimp tempura I ever had. The rolls were so big and it filled me up so fast. The shrimp shumai was really good as well. This was my second time ordering this. The customer service over the phone was great. I can’t wait to actually go in the restaurant and experience it.

This place is everything you want in a sushi spot—immaculate, fresh, and consistently delicious. Every bite is packed with flavor, and you can tell there’s real care behind the food. The owner is an absolute gem, which makes the whole experience even more special. Love, love, love.

An intimate high quality sushi establishment that features wonderful omakase made right in front of you, naturally. Chefs seem relaxed and very friendly and that’s prompted me to call this one of the most chill Omakase restaurants I’ve experienced. So for that reason when I think of overall quality I’m prompted to give it extra points for that alone. It felt easy to chat with my companions here, and not feel like I was intruding on some quiet sacred ritual - as I’ve felt in other high end Omakas

My favorite place to eat after or during work! Unfortunately, it’s not suitable for lunch since they only open late. The Mentaiko Undon is my guilty pleasure! I would love to eat here every day, but we’re adults and need boundaries! Also, please raise the salary of the DJ who plays all the alternative chill electronic obscure music (not the one playing reggaeton and such; that one, please fire immediately!).

Yopparai, a hidden gem in the Lower East Side brings an authentic Japanese izakaya experience to New Yorkers. The intimate space features traditional tatami mat seating creating a cozy and transportive atmosphere for both sake lovers and food enthusiasts. Their exquisite menu is of authentic Japanese flavors from delicate to comforting to exciting items. Pair them with sake and enhance all those flavors. Dessert is just as delicious with traditional tastes. Whether you're after a unique date nig

I dined at Shiki last night and unfortunately had a less than stellar experience. My wife and I had reservations for their 17 course $100 omakase. On the positive note they were very accommodating to a food sensitivity that I have, so points for that. I have a hard time digesting very oily meat like toro or Wagyu so they were swapped out without an issue. The chef that served us was polite, but conversation was very limited. We’ve had much more interaction with chefs at most other omakase dinner

The sushis were really good, loved the tempura sweet potato one. Also would recommend trying the drinks and dessert: the tempura cheesecake was amazing!!!

Finally came out to try Vert Frais with a group of friends. It was about an hour wait even at opening, so it may be better to come later to avoid the opening crowd or go on a weekday if you're able. The lavender lemonade was incredible, and their drinks were good in general, more impressive than the food. The fries and karaage our group shared were great. I ordered a plain omelette that came with a side salad and bread. Omelette was good, but not mindblowing, and the sides have nothing worthy of

We had the omakase experience, so the chef prepared whatever he felt was best for the night instead of ordering individually. I always enjoy this style more because it lets the chef show their own balance and pacing throughout the meal. The quality of the fish was very good and everything felt fresh and carefully prepared. My favorite bites were definitely the truffle nigiri and the hand roll at the end. The truffle worked surprisingly well without overpowering the fish, and the hand roll was s

Really enjoyed my visit to Kikoo Sushi near Columbia University. The sushi and sashimi were fresh, and I loved the variety on the menu. We tried several hand rolls, Rainbow Roll, Dragon Roll, and plenty of sashimi. Everything came out quickly and tasted great. The AYCE option is definitely worth it if you want to try a little bit of everything. Will be back!

Omakase here was great, especially for the price! Excellent cuts. They let you substitute if you have allergies or don’t like certain type of seafood. Staff are really nice and we were definitely full by the end!

Tried Kyuramen in Brooklyn and had the shrimp tempura, a ramen bowl, and a bento box. The shrimp tempura was crispy and light, while the ramen was comforting with a flavorful broth and fresh noodles. The bento box was a nice combo option with good variety. Overall, a solid casual spot for Japanese comfort food and a satisfying ramen experience. 🍜🍤🍱

Another solid omakase spot in NYC. Went for the 17 course and you are more than full by the end. Fun creative pieces of sushi, the sake pairing was a fun addition that wasn't cost prohibitive. Fish was fresh, the staff was very attentive, and the Chef we had was a blast to talk to not only about his own sushi experience but also his cooking history. I was honestly surprised the place was not more crowded than it was.

Ok. I am thoroughly surprised in the nicest way possible. I didn’t put too much thoughts into a “all you can eat” menu. A large selection of items and very good quality. Wish we came here sooner, we will definitely return. Get the karage chicken, pork katsu, tuna carpaccio and mango ice tea (additional)

I loved this sushi spot!!!!! They had the cute little tables on the floor where you have to take your shoes off to sit. That was such a cool vibe! The service was great and everyone was so nice. The food was also obviously amazing. They had such a range of foods from noodles and rices, to sushi & omakase to fried foods and cooked appetizers. I loved the spicy scallop wrapped in avocado and the fresh octopus with pickled wasabi. The fish was also so fresh I could’ve had 100 plates. This is a grea

Got delivery from here and I will definitely be back! I ordered a salmon don and yellowtail jalapeño roll. The prices were extremely reasonable for NYC, and the miso soup was AMAZING. I could order 2 more miso soups because it was that good. The miso soup at Natto was so flavorful and umami. The salmon and yellowtail were also extremely fresh. The restaurant also accommodated my request for extra wasabi and less sodium soy sauce which i appreciated a lot. I ordered delivery which came very fast

Beautiful and classic omakase experience. Dishes were creative and paired well with high-end sake and wines. Some nice conversations with the chef and staff, learning more about their craft. Biggest drawback is simply the price and what you get for it — in such a competitive market there are more sensible options and it’s out of reach for many.

Their sandoitchi sets all come with either a side of fries or salad. I very much enjoyed the side salad, so much that I would totally order it if it was on the menu. The nori fries are the perfect side if you want something crunchy! Of the two sandos I tried, I prefer the chicken since it was so juicy and tender. I also tried one of their Cambodian teishoku sets. The set comes with chilled watercress, ochoko steamed egg, pickled beets, nori rice, and a smoked shoyu tare soup in addition to the

This place keeps changing names, but their quality and quantity remains the same- great! The dining area isn’t too big along, with their kitchen, but they pump out the food fast! The menu selection is huge and I love that each item has a picture, so you know what to expect. The menu selection still not enough? Just look at the walls for more food options. The fried chicken was a steal ($12 for8 pieces), was super juicy and crispy too! Can’t go wrong with any of their noodle dishes either. We got

Cute little place for a quick bite. The food was fresh and the service was good. The location is small, but perfectly comfortable for a weekday meal. The flavors are pretty standard for an American sushi place. The hand roll was served with the seaweed still wrapped and more like a taco than a hand roll,not sure if this is a new fad, but the taste was ok. The decor of the place is cute and welcoming.

Just ordered for the first time today. I ordered 4 rolls all amazing. I got one of the rolls for free and toke the suggestion of the girl who answered and it was great. Great customer service and great delivery drive. Reasonably priced

I’ve been to many omakase spots in the city, and this one is by far the best. From the overall experience to the food and service, everything is top notch. Each piece is unique, and the quality is incredible. You won’t find better value for this price, or any price, in the city. Chef Aaron and his team truly exceed expectations. I love uni, and they always get so creative with my add-ons! It’s one of the reasons this place stands out. They go beyond the standard experience and make every visit f

I absolutely love this place! It’s my must-visit spot every time I’m in NYC. We ordered fresh oysters, miso soup, a salad with ginger dressing, shrimp tempura, the Love Boat, a tuna roll, and a salmon roll — everything was fantastic. The oysters and sashimi were incredibly fresh, and the ginger dressing added a bright, refreshing touch that perfectly complemented the meal. This restaurant never disappoints! Even my picky-eater kid couldn’t get enough of the shrimp tempura and miso soup. I also l

Food was delicious! Very surprised there weren’t more people here. The Thai tea was DELICIOUS, many other places water it down but it was perfect here, and just $4.5! Takoyaki was similarly fantastic, crispy outside with gooey insides and a perfect amount of seasoning. One Piece vibes were fun but everyone would enjoy the food here.

Excellent food and service. I want to really like this place but the space itself is the weak link. It feels clinically upscale and sterile. The layout leaves you exposed no matter where you sit, and it’s just not warm or inviting

Okay, I just got back from Ajimi and I had to immediately write a review because this place is fantastic. Seriously, every single thing we ordered was great. The highlight for me was hands down the Ajimi Kuro ramen. I could eat that stuff every day. It was just perfectly savory and delicious. If you go, you HAVE to get it. What really blew me away, though, was the value. The food was exceptional, and the portions were actually really good. I was expecting less given the price, and other reviews

First time trying onigirazu (sushi sandwich) and it was yum. I got the value combo with miso soup and candied sweet potatoes, both of which were nice additions to the main dish. We got the Beef & Ginger and Japanese Fried Chicken, Karaage with Yuzu Ponzu Scallions onigirazus. They were both good, but I personally preferred the Beef & Ginger. I do think that they put too much cabbage and should put more meat instead. I also wished they had at least a bit of indoor seating/standing space because

Easily recommended! Fairly small, low-key place with a long sushi counter and a handful of tables. If you go for omakase there are several price points available, which I think are all very reasonable. If you're at the sushi counter, the service is very efficient; this won't be a course that goes on for hours. Good variety of fish and flavors, hitting a few different points of taste and texture. Definitely good nigiri, all nicely put together with unique garnishes that complement each piece wit

Martiny’s says it all in the name… Best caviar martini I have ever had. They made me enjoy a dry martini, which I usually don’t. They also made me enjoy a “porcini risotto” cocktail, which was surprisingly tasty. The staff is efficient, professional and accommodating. I had an amazing time, good vibes & great bar snacks. The à la carte cocktail menu is very well elaborated and it deserves its hype. Thank you!

I love this place. I’ve been coming here for the past three years. The food quality is always consistently great, prices are reasonable, and service is quick. I think it’s a family run business, because is always see the same couple working the floor. At first, they may not seem like the friendliest smiliest people, but they really are nice. I actually like their straight to the point style. The place is always clean and they are able to accommodate solo diners as well as larger groups. They are

Shared rolls with a friend, 4 rolls and a couple of appetizers. We were able to walk in and be seated quickly, and food was quick and delicious. Highly recommend the spicy rolls and purple fries! Diet Coke was extra crispy 😋

Fast service, delicious food! We had the 17 pieces course, everything was delicious. My only thought is that the cocktails we ordered were a bit overpowering vs the taste of the sushi, so I would order more neutral drinks next time.

We came to Shogun Omakase to celebrate my birthday. It’s not our first time having Omakase but this was certainly the best experience. Chef Nick took such amazing care of us with a carefully curated menu to suit our preferences and explained not only the source of the fish but also some of the tweaks he made to bring out the flavor profiles of each piece. Some pieces just melt in your mouth and all the flavors are very well balanced. I wish I had more pictures to share but we were so immersed in

Sake No Hana is a staple in NYC! It’s easily become one of my favorites and is truly one of the only restaurants that gives you a 5 star experience. My significant other LOVES Japan and has been to Tokyo to try the pizza there. I booked us a reservation for the opening day of the pizza pop up and we were so excited! We were greeted warmly and were sat with a great view of the dining room and all the action. Our server Ari was very attentive, hospitable and walked us through the menu with ease. S

The onigiri was actually really good. And a decent/normal price. My only beef is that you have to order 15 mins ahead online. I really liked the spicy salmon. I think it had mustard in it which was actually a nice surprise.

Sushi You used to be THAT spot… but not anymore. Came back on 4/22/26 and the difference was night and day. The biggest letdown? The rice—dry, no flavor, no hint of that classic vinegar taste. That alone ruined most of the sushi. My sister’s Tom Yum soup was a miss, but the pork gyoza was a hit. Chef’s choice sushi was just okay, and the “free” California roll? They could’ve kept it. Nori soup and shumai were good, but the eel and tuna rolls had no flavor and didn’t come how I requested. Overall

Our friend took us to Sushi Lin in Brooklyn for dinner. We enjoyed both the omakase and several sushi rolls. The fish was incredibly fresh and naturally sweet, and the service was warm and attentive. We loved it and can’t wait to go back.

This spot has a very cozy and nostalgic atmosphere. The service was great and the Takoyaki, sushi, and ice cream mochi was incredibly delicious. This was my first time getting sushi while visiting in New York and I am not disappointed! I’d definitely come back. Love it here!⭐️🍣🍱🍚⭐️

- One of the best sushi places I’ve ever been to! Very relaxed atmosphere, you just walk in and take any empty seat at the bar but there is also tables for bigger parties. The food is high quality and you can tell by the taste. The menu has a large variety of menu choices that you can also mix and match to your preferences which is fun. It also was not crazy expensive which was nice. We received stellar service during our trip last year and would absolutely come back during our next trip to NewY

Food is high quality and worth the price. Definitely looking to come back here one day. The hamachi Kama was my favorite

Good place! We came here for the Gluten Free noodles! I would've loved the stew to have more flavor but I also think that is the type of ramen which is made like that. I had to put dark garlic sauce to compensate and give it more flavor. Still, really good place 👌

I ordered in as a patient at NY Presbyterian longing for a good meal. Matsu exceeded my expectations. I love sushi and Japanese food and I know when it is exceptional. I ordered the negamaki and gyoza appetizers and the sushi sashimi dinner. They delivered well to my nurse waiting on the lobby. Even in the take out packaging I could the food was gorgeous. I enjoyed the appetizers first and then sauntered onto my main dish. The negamaki were wholesome pieces of steak strips wrapped around delici

Can’t believe I waited so long to try Rosella. Intensive use of the words “favorite” and “best” incoming. My new favorite sushi restaurant, one of the best sushi spots in the city, and just a great dining experience. Sitting at the sushi counter is a must, you get a show and get to interact with chefs since they take your order. Best miso soup I’ve ever had, you must try and prove me wrong. Best salmon avocado roll I’ve ever had. One of the best carrot cakes, definitely top five. One of the bes

First time trying. I went here with my family for my birthday to try this cool concept of serving 14 omakase course with unlimited sake and all you can eat three round sushi of lean tuna, fatty tuna and A5 Wagyu. Price per person is $98 but it is definitely worth it if you can eat a lot. Chef’s 14 course was pretty good, all the sushi were served with wasabi and brushed off with soy sauce on top. The unlimited sake and beer is great while you are feasting and enjoying the food. The staff here ar
