Known For
The lowdown
The first American outpost of an Asian chain brings “Japanese home cooking” — plus a limited selection of sushi and sashimi — to a soaring West Village space. Tofu is made fresh six times a day and served warm, on a Krispy Kreme–like schedule, every hour and a half. The whole menu is seasonal. And its standout seven-course tasting menu includes a vegan option.
