Food and service were wonderful. The tables are super close together so when a family with a rowdy child was seated next to us it did take away from the experience.

Great experience. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. We enjoyed their tasting experience which was well worth it. Four courses plus a paired saki tasting for only $30pp. Absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!

A friend introduced me to this restaurant over the summer and it’s been one of my favorites whenever I come back to NYC to catch up with friends. I love the explosive flavors, delicious cocktails, and the music they played had me bopping my head while eating. Ray was a great waiter checking in to make sure I was enjoying my meal and had everything I needed. I always enjoy my dinners here because the staff is wonderful and gives excellent recommendations.
