They've changes, and not for the better
I used to love this restaurant. Then they changed their menu, then the quality of the food went down. They went from a really good Japanese restaurant to yet another mediocre Japanese restaurant (something the neighborhood has quite enough of). It's really disappointing, because the place had been so good before the menu changes.

Best Japanese restaurant in the city
This is the best japanese restaurant in the city, proof is: you'll find only japanese customers. So all of you Americans, who usually spoil places where you go. Do all of us a favor: don't go there (Or if you go, don't be obnoxious, be discreet!)...Food is greater than great, service is...Japanese, diversity of dishes is beyond what you can imagine, and the atmosohere is... Japanese (great). Reserve if you want to be seated properly!

One of the best
I live down the street from Aburiya and frequent there often. The dishes are memorable and worth it. Among their best dishes include the salmon on houba leaf, cod with saikyo miso, and pork cheek. The chicken dish served with semi-raw egg is also good, although very heavy and filling. This restaurant is for those who appreciate authentic Japanese cuisine. If you think the prices are steep, just visit other 5 star restaurants. You will realize how reasonable Aburiya's prices are in comparison.

Too little and too expensive
I ordered a combincation sashimi - $30dish. Food came with a nice presentation, on ice. But slices are small and too little. Over all food quality is good, presentaion is nice service is great. but too expesive if you are hungry. Well, I guess I should go somewhere when I need to eat much.....value/price ratio is not great for me a big guy..

Super good!
The food at Aburiya is so good, price is also good. It's great that they have wide variety of dishes, so I never get bored. Really good quality!

10x better than nobu
I ate here on a whim and found the food and restaurant to be great. I ordered five small dishes and some sushi and was impressed with the quality and presentation of everything. The waitstaff was very helpful to order from the eclectic menu and didn't push us to finish quickly or chose only the more banal nor most expensive items. I recently ate at the famed Nobu and found it very mediocre by comparision-full of lawyers and architects looking to impress and the food was far too pricey for the quality. I recommend asking the waiter for advice on the freshest sushi, the cold udon noodles, and anything else that the neighboring tables are enjoying. Dishes are small so don't go on a tight budget.

too little for too much
Authentic atmosphere, but food and service lacking . Ordered Cod with Miso but got some other fish which definetly was not cod. Food was fairly well prepared but dishes were small for the price.
