Try the exceptional Hamachi kama, probably the best I've ever eaten. It's yellowtail jaw, grilled to moist perfection!
hamachi carpaccio...fantastic!!!!*****
Hamachi carpaccio, lobster roll, and negitoro temaki
Solid reasonable neighborhood all-time fav. Go early if you want a chance for the hamachi kama. Order from their daily specials menu!
Hamachi Kama when they have it. Or calm down on a cold night with their clam soup.
Get the sea bass. Baby hamachi / yellowtail if they have it as well.
This place rules - yuzu hamachi roll, kale salad w poached egg, all shrimp apps are delish
Had a great omakase sushi and omakase sashimi meal! Hamachi ceviche was delicious. Shishito peppers with lemon juice and grilled hamachi collar was delicious!
Hamachi collar is the bomb! Also the sushi and sashimi omakase are good value.
Grilled hamachi, duck dish, tofu dish, orange clams, and uni was all so delicious. Service was outstanding . I will definitely return anf recommend to friends.
Remember to request a seat at the sushi counter with Chef David! Dojo Omakase was amazing and the staff is super attentive.
Want top tier sushi at a great price? Head to Sushi Dojo. Order the 15-piece omakase and hand rolls. They also offers cooked dishes like braised snapper head and soba. Read more.
My ultimate Ssam dinner (based on availability): Stone Crab Claws, Hamachi, Pork Buns, a terrine, octopus, sausage with rice cakes, all the desserts. Boom.
The pork buns are a must, but be sure to try the Hamachi Collar if it is available!
Tomato salad, corn, and pork buns! Vegans may compromise.
Great place to drink $1.50 beers and izakaya style Japanese bites! Hamachi collar, beef tataki, skate fin and stewed pork are all good calls.
maybe the closest you could get to an actual izakaya in japan, but in new york. sanma, tonkatsu, yakisoba, and kaki fry (fried oysters) are delicious. $8 pitchers of sapporo! super fun & lively place.
Enjoy pitchers of very affordable beer
BOMB: Slicy gobo, crispy mushrooms, monkfish liver, garlic shrimp, pork belly, mochi-crusted fluke, bread pudding // SOLID: Tuna poke, hamachi // FINE: Beef tongue, mochi waffles
Get the Monkfish Liver Torchon, a rich mousse-like mound surrounded by tart passionfruit and pear, which you spread on warm slices of Hawaiian roll and which will make your knees buckle and toes curl. Read more.
truly awesome sushi & service - 3 omakase options, various cooked appetizers and great sake list. funny sushi chef is added bonus.
There's no sign but walk past the curtain, open the door and be transported to a hidden gem. Chef Norihito will not let you down.
Definitely a top tier sushi omakase restaurant in new york city. Highly recommended to those who seek quality sushi.
the two tuna dishes are fantastic, and sufficiently different to offer two distinct courses. split them and a bottle of wine with a friend.
Tuna ceviche (which is really more like tuna tar-tar) is awesome. Skip The salmon/mango ceviche & the Gravity Bong Oysters are gimmicky. But I'll be back to work my way thru ceviche menu.
$1 oysters on Sundays and Mondays. yum.
The quintessential cool east village spot with a cozy setup and an amazing selection of rice wine.
Underground sake bar and Japanese tapas (izakaya). Dark and intimate. Love this place. Claire and my first date. -Francine, The Real L Word
Bottle of Dassai 50 if you don't know what to get. Best Sakai for the dollar
get the hamachi (better than Ssam bar's!) and duck confit salad and try to figure out which one is better. it may be impossible.
Try the Hamachi Carpaccio
Buns and ramen are to die for. Don't miss the charred octopus.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
