Ramen Restaurant · Hell's Kitchen · 530 tips and reviews
Florence Escobar: The pork buns and the octopus carpaccio are a must. The cucumber, shishito peppers, and salmon are also fantastic. The yuzu sake with Pom and lychee is a good cocktail.
Omar Martinez: The pork buns, the unfiltered sake are great. The ramen is AMAZING!!
Andrew Perez: Remember, if you eat all your noodles and still have broth you can ask for more for $2! Save room for Jelly Sake after your ramen.
Keith Seekwhence: Have anything on the Sake menu, it's was compiled by someone in the know with some choice selections being offered, Definitely have edimame. The Yellowfin and Toro is some of the freshesh in NYC.
Rael RitaRii: My favs are: house salad and ikura saki. Mmmm. If u like pure salmon maki, simple, not mix of everything in small maki piece ...this is it.
Neil D: Flash fried mackerel, green tea creme brûlée, sake menu, and a witty staff are among the pleasures. Also maki combos get you out under $30 a head

Caroline Toff: Should've done the omakase! Loved the oyako donburi and the house sake
Akira Takamatsu: 焼鳥屋というより焼鳥レストラン。このQualityの焼鳥がNew Yorkで食べられることじたいが驚き。大変おいしい!ミシュランで続けて星をとり続けているだけのことはある。値段が高いとの言及もあるが、値段相応だと思う。 日本酒や焼酎の品ぞろえも良い。 日本食を食べたくなった日本人にも、日本食を楽しみたいNew Yorkerにも愛されている。おススメします!
Wesley Bliss: Nothing short of perfection, the yakitori here will leave you with severe separation anxiety. The sake list is thoughtfully curated, & prices accessible. Be sure to introduce yourself to chef Urashi.
Tiger: Not worth the money. Spent $400 on a shiitty omakase for two and 3 hot sakis. Service was bad and they sat us next to an exterior window that was freezing. Go to Sushi Gari across the street.
L Erskine: OK sushi but great saki choices and guidance for the bartender
Sara: Service was so-so, food was delicious minus mushroom soup, and we had a hard time picking a bottle of sake that they had available from their menu.

Alyxa Lease: They actually have a great sake list and legit sushi menu, hard to find a neighborhood rec in this hood but this place deserves it.
Randy SU2: Spicy combo is really good. Nice & spicy!
Marisa Franco: DO NOT COME HERE.sushi was not fresh and very low quality. The tuna had a chewy jello texture if you can imagine and when I sent it back, the manager took it back with an annoyed look and no apology.

ty mojica: definitely try soft shell crab, and any teriyaki dish. try some nigori sake while youre at it. super friendly staff
Doctor M.: ah, unfiltered sake!
Jeff Tobias: Firecracker roll is most excellent! Spicy, crunchy, perfect.
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍: Afternoon tea here is a great way to decompress after a hectic day and the views are equally awesome. Alongside with tea, scones or macarons they'll additionally serve chips, nuts and kimchi pancakes
Lindsay: Not staying at the hotel? If they tell you there's a wait, just say that you finished dining at Asiate. You'll get a table in a snap. Otherwise, prepare to wait with the masses.
Candace Chang: Great view of Columbus Circle, perfect for afternoon tea on a Sunday. Really impressed with the ginger scones and the Oolong tea pairing. Love the spaciousness and high windows
