    Supported by solid regulars

    Beloved by New Yorkers, celebs and guests straight from Japan - this restaurant appears low-key but is rather a popular dining room for upper class, than 'iron-chef theater'. Everything is good there. Sushi, sukiyaki, tempura, noodles, etc. Choice ingredients + chefs trained in Japan = strictly authentic, yet not rustic. And that deadly fugu blowfish - definitely worth a try while they're running (winters) I don't see their menu overpriced as others wrote. It's not cheap but you definitely get what you pay for. They must be doing many things right to stay on business for decades.

    Spend your Expense Account Elsewhere

    At lunch, $13.50 for a mini rice bowl that had 2 slices of fish and about 4 mouthfuls of rice. I'm Japanese, and the rice and fish weren't spectacular or anything. The only nice touch was the shiso leaf. I would have gotten a bowl of their famous soba, but they don't offer it on its own, only in lunch sets. Service was an odd mix of brusque/neglectful and stereotypical nice-Japanese-lady-in-kimono. The atmosphere is quite nice, except for the fact that we had a screen separating us from another seating area, and the people on the other side kept on bumping into it. Somewhat discomfiting. It's affordable--for an expense account crowd, which does seem to be their main clientele. But if you have the money and want Japanese, go elsewhere. There are so many other options in Midtown.

    Don't order here

    I ordered beef negimaki and tender chicken (each $25+) for delivery. Standard NYC prices would have been below $10 TOTAL. Food was not good. Cant believe they can charge this much. Never ordering here again.

    Amazing!

    The food is authentic and amazing! This is easily the best Japanese restaurant in NY. I've been to em all. Well...many. Their home grown soba noodle is unbelievable, Can't wait to go back there soon! I wish I was there now! I'm hungry! Need sushi!

    Good food, but you have to pay for it...

    Like it says in the title...good food, but it comes at a cost. Not cheap, but the fare is delicious, so it's worth it. As well, the service is professional and the environment, comfortable. If you like quality Japanese food, this is the place to go! Enjoy!
