This was the second time we’ve come to Wano for our Anniversary dinner. We were greeted by the host who said immediately said happy anniversary and sat us at our table. Our server was great, we got the Omakase for both of us. It was delicious! Course after course of fresh sashimi and sushi along with some cooked items like two different soups, two different courses on unagi (eel for those that don’t know), and anniversary glass of sparkling wine for my wife and an extra glass of sake for me and then dessert which was house made mango sorbet along with more sake! The last sake was Yuzu infuse and tasted like fresh citrus that was so flavorful I could have had a whole bottle! Thank you to the staff and chef at Wano, we had an incredible meal!

In my opinion, it is one of the top tier Japanese resturant in NY and I've already been there twice. The noodles and the beef were my favorite dishes. I'll try dinner next time.
