Josi Poncio: Shrimp tempura roll is the best!
Ben Mackey: An appetiser of tempura and the sushi and sashimi combo was enough for us both. Downstairs is quiet, upstairs is louder but has the sushi bar.
Jose Manuel: Sushi is amazing, also salmon carpaccio. Tempura is really good too.

Lily: NYT Hungry City (4/2018): "Takana (pickled mustard greens); kombu; umeboshi; salmon; shrimp tempura; fried oyster; chashu pork; mentaiko (pollock roe); the Bomb; karaage."
Karen: Spam and tamago musubi sells out very quick!
Kaitlin: Delicious and affordable omusubi (rice balls). The Kakiage (fried carrots, onion, and kale, $2.90) was incredible. We liked it best and we also ordered a Bomb and a Salmon.

Lorraine Smith: I love the ambience here at The Horny Ram. The Cornflake Chicken strip were absolutely delicious, and the Big Burger was really big with an amazing flavor!
Ashley Velazquez: You must try the Buffalo Chicken Nachos! A friend of mine had the Tempura Chicken Bowl, which looked delicious—and I had the Grilled Bar Steak which was to die for. 🤤
Staff Picks: The Horny Ram is the perfect Midtown East spot for an after-work drink, serving up comfort food classics. Try the mac and cheese or the buffalo chicken nachos platter - a definite crowd favorite.

AmateurConcierge: Like being transported to Tokyo at this hidden gem. The taro and vegetable tempura and egg custard with shrimp and chicken were highlights.
Jonathan Snook: Had the lunch tasting menu with sake pairing. Wonderfully tasty sake. Sashimi, soba, tempura was fantastic. Could've skipped the beef. Black sesame ice cream was perfect.
Sandra Lloyd: Great for lunch. Great for dinner. Great desserts. Really fresh, good quality food. Best lunch deal around. This is one of my favorite restaurants, hands down.

Nikhita Mahtani: Authentic and yummy! I like the pumpkin tempura and the spicy tuna combo roll.
Karen: If you're coming here for lunch and really want your money's worth (it can be pricey) - get the lunch combo ABC. SO DELICIOUS. Includes shrimp and veggie tempura! Excellent service, too.
Derek Yadgaroff: "Secret" side sake bar is a chill happy hour spot for enjoying $5 sake, shochu, or beer while dining on authentic Japanese tapas. Not a cheap place but worth it

Chase Atkinson: Highly recommend the Bee Sting - tomato, basil, sopressta, chili flakes, chili oil, and honey...damn good
Christoph: Awesome pizza. Start with the famous original.
Adrien L: $12 pizza is too small. If you share a large and small with a buddy, you pay $14.5 each and you get 5.63 sq in/$ of pizza and a filling meal. Make friends in the line! (They could become your BFF ❤️)

Shanshan Feng: Try their tempura! It's amazing! The staffs are really nice!
Ailie Chang: Sushi Omakase selection was fresh and delicious. Miso Soup, Agedashi Tofu, Tatsuta-Age, Lobster Roll, and Tempura were good. The green tea cheesecake was laughable - it's the size of your finger.
Zhou: Good service, great price for lunch & tipping is not necessary. Will definitely come back for more.
