Ki Choi: The "Hottest" teriyaki sauce nearly put me in the hospital. Considering I'm Korean and have incredible tolerance to spicy food, consider the sauce lethal for most mammals.
Brian Toth: Gluten free teriyaki sauce available! Great place for healthy lunch... Protein, greens, brown rice!
Berta C: Nice they give a brown rice option but too much teriyaki sauce

Vicky Davis: The hot dishes & daily specials are remarkable and the sandwich line is always the length of the place, but worth the wait. Not cheap, the portions are huge.
Victoria G: Finally get the hype for sandwiches. Best hot sandwiches I have ever had. Get the Sgt Sweet Pepper on a hero. It's off the menu.
David Li: If you enjoy being fat, have them keep the skin on the turkey. Perfection

Danielle Snow: I had lunch there today. I got the 3 roll lunch special. it was delicious and my sushi was super fresh
Dens: Omakase from the downstairs sushi bar is amazing. Don't leave without trying the hand rolls (go spicy tuna!). I was also digging the salmon-meets-blowtorch sushi. Ask for fresh wasabi too.
New York Habitat: If you are a sushi lover, this is the right place! Make sure to try their spicy tuna rolls, and Sushi & Sashimi Combination. And the prices are good for what you get!

Jorge Chevalier: Outstanding atention, excelent duck and rolls: Neptuno, Spider and Eel.....

Abby: So delicious - get a mix of meats & veggies. There are many varying happy hour specials depending on the day. Cap the evening off with an order of s'mores. Nice window seating as well.

Karolina Chrusciel: Sea urchin, tuna belly, scallop or eel.. Everything is just so special, beautiful place and omacase experience!
Time Out New York: Reserve a seat at the bar of this bamboo-clad space to watch Tatsu and Mitsu—as they’re called by regulars—dispatch purist renditions of nigiri onto wooden trays in elegant, efficient movements. Read more.
Dara Hashemi: Make a reservation at the bar and ask to sit in front of Yasuda him self so he can learn you something. Very very expensive but unforgettable experience. Don't waste your time if you crave rolls.
Giovanni D'Palma: Swung by for a quick lunch, the tuna burger and the ipswitch sandwich were delicious and definitely try a few oysters!
Tristan Louis: Stand in one corner in front of the Oyster Bar at Grand Central and have a friend stand on the other side and whisper. the other person can hear you...
Tiffany & Co: The Whispering Gallery, just outside the Oyster Bar door, invites lovers to whisper their secrets from one corner of the vaulted ceiling to the other. You must try it.
