The service was definitely impeccable. I love the authenticity of the Japanese employees there, and the sushi was very fresh. The green tea ice cream is so creamy and to die for!
Great authentic food! A little pricey, but totally worth it!
Authentic, fantastic meal.
Great, authentic katsu options at very reasonable prices. Not a place for dates. (F for ambience.)
Amazing katsu. Very authentic.
The most authentic Japanese cutlet place I've ever visited in NYC. From the authentic taste to the free refill of rice and cabbages, everything is as just same as Tokyo.
Most authentic Chinese in Midtown E. / Upper E. Side. Try the cold appetizers such as Spicy Beef Tendon or the Sesame Noodles. If you want to be adventurous, order the Spicy Wok Tossed Duck Tongue.
Very authentic Sichuan place. not too salty! Amazing lunch special. Get the fish fillet with chilis or beef with Asian peppers. Wonton soup is really oily.
Last two menu pages have the authentic stuff. Portions are HUGE!!! Fish filet with chilli and sprouts was very good. Crispy pork belly, not so much. Not crispy, VERY fatty. Dumplings are delish.
On the pricier side for the portion size, however what you are getting is a very authentic meal that is high quality and delicious.
Don't let the restaurant name fool you. This is a very authentic restaurant. The "ramen" is not Japanese ramen, but are hand-pulled noodles similar lo mein.
the xiao long bao are juicy and the skin is a good thickness but the meat isn't super tasty. duck buns are yummy. service is really quick & the place feels authentic, especially by midtown standards.
Spicy tonkatsu was much better than Ippudo, but their pork buns aren't close. Authentic Japanese vs. faux Asian Ippudo.
A very authentic ramen restaurant - you can order the noodles your desired thickness.
Authentic and creamy tonkotsu ramen on 52nd Street.
Authentic and yummy! I like the pumpkin tempura and the spicy tuna combo roll.
"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
Sit at the sushi bar and get the omakase.
Pork belly appetizer is delicious! This is one of the more authentic viet/thai restaurants I've been to.
Pad see ew is really good, very authentic! Green curry is awesome.
Great service. Try the ginger & anise Pho Bo.
I like this location most. Authentic Japanese vibe and the window seat with shoji is a fantastic date! Miso in love is a good menu choice to share, and the cocktails are most friendly also.
Shrimp bbq and shrimp dumpling appetizers were bomb!
This place is absurdly amazing. Go with a group and order their kobe beef combos for the best experience. Servers tip you on the best way to cook your meal and the Bibimbap is life altering.
The great "soup" wontons... plus everything else. A very authentic and delicious experience is what you will find here.
The xiao long bao was pretty good. Great spot to bring a friend for an authentic chinese dumpling experience.
Shrimp Chow Mein is epic!!! Fully recommend this Chinese authentic restaurant
Fresh, authentic chirashi place with generous portions. Will def come back!
Hidden gem in midtown east. It's a Japanese eatery / piano bar / karaoke. They are so generous with the amount of sashimi they put into a bowl. $22 is so worth it for Uni don. Kirin draft is only $4.
Hidden gem in midtown east for fresh chirashi bowl. Ask for daily special, get seated by the bar. Friendly host and attentive staff. If you come on Sat nights, they may even have live jazz music.
Such fresh delicious sushi here! I feel like its a hidden gem so don't tell too many people.
Great fish, but I don't understand the music they play here. Madonna and disco don't make for a relaxing dinner. Put on some jazz!
This raw fish is greeeat !! Real Japanese sushi ! Thumbs up !
Crowded and small place with charm. Must try Pork Buns and Miso Ramen, both amazing!
Short wait for Totto Ramen but cash only.
The ramen is great. But you better in finish it because there's no option to doggie bag it. Combined with cash only, they are really low on flexibility.
It's not raw fish, but it's darn delish. Make sure to check out the monthly specials. The wraps are by far my favorite over the rolls.
Better than typical sushi - try the "Pickle Me" Maki and the warm "Green Root" noodle salad. But also the dumplings are delicious -mmmh
Healthy and yummy sushi rolls. Recommend the mighty mushroom roll
Very spicy here...but indeed authentic.
Try something different and authentic here, you won't regret it. I recommend the fish and pickled cabbage soup, diced lotus root in black bean sauce, cumin lamb and the chongqing chicken
Best Sichuan in the U.S.
Good pho choices. I like the beef skewers and duck too.
Solid Vietnamese spot for midtown east... lunch specials everyday 11am-4pm. Great for late lunchers.
For a change from your regular pho, try the grilled beef pho.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
