Andy Rosenberg: Everything with tobiko caviar spread! Do it!
Andrew Choi: These Montréal-style bagels are small & will cost you more than what you're used to, but you can't resist trying the tobiko spread, salmon, & butter lettuce on an everything bagel. Worth the wait!
Noah Weiss: The bagels are good, but the smoked fish sandwiches are great. Get the #2 with beet cured salmon and horseradish cream cheese, or the #3 with Tobiko spread (fish roe).

ᴡ Sung: Top 3 Italian restaurants in NYC - tobiko pasta is absolutely delectable as is the Chilean sea bass with ricotta and cucumber. Open kitchen is an added perk
Yahmeela Serna: A favorite is the tobiko spaghetti. Service is amazing and everyone speaks Japanese so for those looking for a language practice and very unique pasta, this is the place to go to!
julia t: Fish roe and tobiko spaghetti my favorite. Great fun pasta.

Time Out New York: Black Seed's rolling out honey-boiled rounds topped with tobiko cream cheese and beet lox, as well as new sandwiches including smoked salmon with arugula, crème fraîche and a fried-caper omelette.
Leah Hammerschlag: Love the whitefish and sable. Ask for whichever bagels are fresh out the oven. Great location.
Gabe A: Tiny bagels. Overpriced. Plenty of better options nearby.
Mike Chau: Try the East Roll - Eel, tamago, avocado, cucumber and tobiko.
Mike Chau: Try the Manhattan Roll - Yellowtail, tuna, whitefish, scallion and tobiko.
Vilje L: Went for our first 'all you can eat' sushi lunch. Fresh food and cozy atmosphere.

Japanese Restaurant · Upper East Side · 16 tips and reviews
Marc Aafjes: One of the best Japanese restaurants outside of Japan. Ask for any special sushi/sashimi options of the menu -- they may have something very nice. Also the Ohmi beef is amazing (but $) nocheap :))
The Wall Street Journal: With 82 seats, Kappo Masa is a comfortable space that also looks to be making its mark in the field of industrial design. Aside from the decor the food is second to none. Be sure to try the truffles. Read more.

Lauren Smith: Very friendly staff and laid back atmosphere. Try the octopus poke in tobiko, mustard leaf kimchi with fingerling potato and big-eye tuna poke withmacadamia nuts, pickled jalapeño, seaweed.
Amy Mixa: Loved the squash tempura, truffle chips, and shrimp over rice
Gothamist: 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.
