It looks like an eatery not a restaurant but it's a good place. I've tried Wani Karaage(fried allitator meat) as an appetizer and Wani Shoga Yaki(broiled alligator meat with ginger sauce) as main course. Both were very good. I strongly encourage everybody to visit this restaurant.

I cannot say enough about this Sushi/Brasserie Joint in the East Village. It is understated to say the least, but that is part of its coolness. The music played is always interesting and unknown. The service is sleepy but you could also say, chill. The Food is superb. The sushi is never anything but fresh and the choices are seasonal (as it must be). Its the little chochkies that make it such a great place. The Chicken skin on a skewer, the broiled Alligator (super juicy), the Eel and Avacado salad, the strong miso soup, I could go on. To be honest, I'd prefer it stayed a local secret, but they deserve better.

Natori, a itty bitty hole in the wall, has some delicious sushi! I particularly love their early bird special, on weeknights from 5-7, where you can get a ton of sushi and saki/beer for a very reasonable price. Worth getting your act together on the early side. The fried alligator is scrumptious. Go here.

The place is tucked away and is kind of a whole in the wall. But the staff is supper nice and the food is of awesome quality. They aren't very fancy but everything here is great and done right. I have been eating here for 2 years now and i hope to be eating here for many more.

I like that when I'm here, I feel hidden away. The food is good, waitstaff is friendly and efficient, but I guess the thing I like the best is the atmosphere (hard to find in this area!)

One of my favorite japanese restuarants in the lower east side. The food is authentic and tastes like something your grandmother would make. It's very homestyle but the sushi is very fresh. you wont be disappointed

All my Japanese friends eat at Natori. The delicious sushi is always incredibly fresh and safe. Since I stopped eating fish (as a vegetarian) the friendly chef prepares a delicious and beautiful vegetarian sushi for me, which is so creatively presented! I recommed Natori highly, prices are very inexpensive, service is good and food is excellent!
