    Amazing food and great service. One of the best spots in NY for a special dinner. Lower level is definitely busier and more energetic. Prices are off the charts, but food is always spot on.

    It was a mad house cause an old school DJ was performing and no one anticipated the huge crowd that would show up. It was my friend's birthday and we were going out to celebrate. We had a large group but could only get a reservation for 2. So our friends went elsewhere for dinner and said they would come back to go to the club. When we came in, they lost our reservation. My friend was very upset and wanted to make a big deal about it. I kept her calm and we mingled with others that were either waiting to get into the club or the restaurant. Tables started to empty and my friend went over to say " We made a reservation on open table, how an you lose that?" The woman was very sympathetic and told us that a round of drinks are on her. We were seated right after that. Funny, we couldn't get a larger reservation but they sat us at a table for 4 anyway. We had the beef tips medium over potato sticks (we thought we were getting fries). It was delicious though. We had the arugula salad and fries, which also I would highly recommend. We indulged in the fig & lychee martini which were absolutely amazing!

    I had a quick lunch with my kid at Toraji an and had a great experience. The service was top-notch with attentive and polite staff. The table was clean and the decor is minimum yet beautiful. The lunch set is good portion and fair quality. If they do well for lunch, their dinner menu must be better. Looking forward to come back with friends and family very soon to explore more dishes and their course menu. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-notch Japanese BBQ experience!
