The restaurant is in the basement and is easy to miss. Once downstairs, it is very dimly lit and creates a cozy environment. I... highly recommend ordering the creamy udon. The salmon bowl and pork cutlet were average. The service is attentive and the foodcame out relatively quick as the dining room was half empty. The cups for water need to be replaced, they are terribly old andthe edges look like a dog has been chewing on them. At least give us straws. Read more

Coolest restaurant in NYC. Feels like a secret location tucked between shops. Opens up into a large space. Food was excellent... and service is quick. Definitely get a reservation. The tacos were so good and original. The tuna was incredible. Read more

Great ambience for Japanese tapas. The service is quick and friendly. Some dishes are good and some not so much. I’d recommend... getting a few mains and more smaller plates to try more things on the menu. The mains’ portions are large. Read more

Glad we found this place! We ordered a variety of raw and cooked dishes. Everything came out so quickly and was delicious, ... yellowtail carpaccio, OMU soba, and kimchi cream udon are our favorites. The price is very reasonable, great value!! Therestaurant is underground and we missed it a few times walking by. We got there at 5 when they opened for dinner, waited in lineand got seated right away, it filled up really quickly as soon as we sat down. Friendly and warm staff, and great service.Highly recommend! Read more

Good variety of Japanese food in an underground spot that is always packed and lively. Expect to wait for a table, but food... comes out quickly. We had a variety of raw dishes, noodles and beef tongue. The spread was nice and all dishes had their ownspecial appeal. Prices are very reasonable; a good value. Read more

Don't be put off by the door (hard to find between two restaurants) and the steps down to the basement this is a great place.... Young staff, full of life, excellent food and well priced. Booking is highly recommended as it fills up quickly. We got the lastwalk in available on a Friday night. Note that for lunch the menu is much smaller than at dinner. Read more

This izakaya is located in the basement so carefully look for their sign. This is a very busy place at night, plan ahead if you... hope to have dinner. They have a illustrated menu and a good list of cocktail/sake (also illustrated) so great for drink lovers.Overall the tastes and menu selections are great, but not necessarily surprising. These are common courses that you can expectin a Japan restaurant -- or more accurately speaking, it is American-Japanese fusion rather than pure Japan. For travelers orpeople looking for a date dinner place, this is a safe choice that wouldn't let you disappoint. Read more
