Profile

This new branch of the Japanese chain specializes in yakiniku, or Japanese barbecue cooked at table grills over “smokeless” ceramic coals. As at its Cooper Square location, the raw materials range from Wagyu beef to tofu and may be basted with or dipped into an array of sauces. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

This restaurant has fabulous food and a very open, airy space (a rare find in Manhattan). It would be great for catching up with friends, taking friends from out of town, a date, or a business lunch. Great service, great food, great price. Great drinks too!

An Exciting Japanese Dining Experience

This place is quite a lot of fun. This location, as compared to the East Village location, has the benefit of fantastic views down third avenue from the second floor. Anyway, being well versed in Japanese cuisine, it was fun to have a place that uses the traditional announcing of the customer entering and leaving the restaurant. The dinner atmosphere was lively and fun, though the music was a bit odd. The meats were juicy and and (obviously) expertly cooked to my taste, consisting of good Kobe and their special, a Chateau Briand. They also have quite an impressive, obviously thought-over sake and wine list, with some quality shochus. They also have a small selection of Korean dishes, which the style of cooking was derived from, also done very well. Their Tofu Chigae and Bimimba were some of the best I've had. A testament to the quality of the place was a group of six Japanese business men who were sitting close by who stayed over two hours, eating as much food as possible and ordering drink after drink, eating everything, the tongue (which was delicious), intestine, liver. It was fantastic!
