Profile

If what you’re looking for is a platter of sushi and sashimi classics served by rockin’ J-kids in a disco-ball environment, then this is the place. For over 25 years, East Village newcomers and NYU students have flocked here for their first tastes of raw fish in a relatively hip, relaxed setting. The chirashi is well stocked with tuna, salmon, and fake crabmeat, and the nabeyaki udon, a cauldron of thick noodles with mushrooms, tofu, and tempura shrimp, is pure comfort. But if you’d rather have high-grade toro and clean bathrooms, you might want to look elsewhere. — Matt Gross

This place tries to have the funk & decor of a place like Yaffa Cafe, and misses the mark. It's tVERY dark- too dark to appear clean or to see your menu. When I went, the Beatles' "Revolution" was blasting so loud that I couldn't hear my date speaking. The quality of the sushi is great, but the portions are surprisingly small. Overall, a weird experience- there are much better places to get your fish fix.
