Every single dish is created with heart and soul by chef yamada. It excels its former restaurant "Brushstrokes"in so many ways... and has instantly become my fav Japanese restaurant. Will definitely revisit multiple times annually since they change theirmenu monthly. Read more
The food is so good! I like all dishes. Especially the soy sauce ice cream and the chocolate tarte dessert at the end. The Wagyu... beef roll is also one of the best. The squid ink rice is tasty and you can get as many as you want. The mushroom soup is veryfresh. We came homes so full. Read more
Avoid this Tourist Trap!! There are plenty of other better places in NYC. Service: The biggest positive of the night, the... service was first rate; our servers were friendly, courteous and attentive. Chef Hamada was also very engaging and clearlyenjoys what he does. Ambience: The moment you walk in, there are signs that this restaurant might be a tourist trap. At best,the restaurant and its decor could be described as minimalist, at worst, sterile. The wooden paneling and floor boards made theroom feel cold and clinical. Food: Overall, the food was...fine, which is not the word you'd want to describe a $300 diningexperience. While the ingredients themselves were of the best quality, the composition of a number of dishes was a bit lacking.Simply having the best ingredients doesn't justify the price tag if they're not well utilized. Most egregious was the sushi oftoro, caviar and uni served on rice in a cute little box. While pretty to look at, the flavors clashed when trying to eat out ofsuch a small bowl. Similarly, the chawanmushi of eel and black truffle was completely overwhelmed by the generous amount of thelatter. The tsukuri of assorted sashimi and hassun of seafood and mountain delicacies, where the ingredients were allowed toshine, were the pick of the kaseki menu. Ultimately it was an underwhelming experience which I can't recommend. Read more
OMG what can I say. Go now before it gets Michelin stars and become very hard to book (20 seats only). Yamada-san is an... accomplished chef trained at Kitcho. However, he doesn?t taunt his skills. Instead, he creates genuine dishes with bestingredients and takes you on a humble yet eye-opening gourmet journey. He so apparently loves his job, and smiles so happilywhen he sees guests eat the food he makes. We have been to dozens of Michelin restaurants in various countries and have to saythis place tops them all. Hamada-san is so sincere and creative. They have new menus pretty often according to the season. Willdef come back when the menus changes. The design of the space is very interesting - the restaurant feels like a quite forestright in the middle of the city. The place opened fall 2021 and that?s why there are so few reviews. The service and therestroom could have been improved. However, the food and the experience watching the chef makes food is just impeccable. EatingYamada-san?s food makes me so content and happy!

So. Can I just say. Oh. My. God. No. Really. OMGOMGOMG I had my first Kaiseki experience last night at Kaiseki Room by Yamada... on W 53rd. It?s a little tricky to find because you have to walk through Le Grand Boucherie which is, honestly, ?grand? in everysense of the word: basically a huge, indoor arcade (European style). Kaiseki Room by Yamada is tucked into a small spot on thenon-Boucherie side of the arcade. Inside the room (600 sq ft, 12 seats at the counter a few tables) the design is prettyspectacular. SOARING high ceiling and the entire room sort of bends and curves around and up. Hard to explain. Amazing toexperience. Look, all I can say is that this was The Best Meal of My Life. And I have eaten some meals y?all. I am giving 5stars here, but Kaiseki Room by Yamada should have it?s own scale. As in I think a more ?accurate? award would be 10 out of 5.There are not enough stars in the current system for me to give a real rating here. Every. Single. Thing. About the diningexperience here is perfection. The service is what French Haute Cuisine restaurants should aspire to: staff that is fullyconversant in every aspect of the meal (10 highly intricate and complex courses presented in the most beautiful dishes and bowlsand plates you can imagine), attentive to the point of removing even the tiniest drop of anything that winds up on your lacquertray, yet complete unobtrusive. They are there constantly, available the moment you need them. But there is never the feeling of?hovering.? I of course sat at The Counter. Do you even know me?? But also you must sit at The Counter to get the FullExperience. And somehow I got sat DIRECTLY in front of Chef Yamada. Like, JACKPOT!! You could not get a better seat. Totalcraziness. And? Chef Yamada is extremely nice. Friendly, smiley, great, positive energy/vibes. Which seriously enhances theexperience. EVERYTHING is prepared right in front of you. And there is a lot. I do not eat beef, pork or poultry and I k Read more
