dara lynnedara lynne: Authentic Chinese food which can accommodate vegetarians. Get the scallion pancake & go for the steamed vegetable buns (VEGGIE SOUP DUMPLINGS). Can't find those anywhere. No ambience & cash only.

Kseniya N.Kseniya Nahornaya: A surprisingly authentic Hong Kong experience. Duck Ramen is the best. And of course soup dumplings and scallion pancakes. Mmm mmm mmm mmm

Go Find AliceGo Find Alice: Pretty authentic chinese noodles and dishes for midtown Chinese food. Can't believe they ran out of rice at 1pm though...

Marie L.Marie La Rue: Excellent post-Broadway destination. Good value for the price, try one of their tasting menus. Nice atmosphere for Midtown. Efficient service. All sushi dishes were very fresh.

Denis K.Denis Kirstein: Unreal lunch.

Lasagne Z.Lasagne Zucchini: Lobster and seabass with shiso onigiri are good. No tips needed but the service is good. The sumeshi was made too loose and a little over seasoned. Recommend to do lunch takeout.

Dan T.Dan Torres: Great value for omakase. Make sure you get a wagyuni hand roll.

JasonJason: $50 omakase with fresh fish, probably the best value for your $. Space to seat about 10 people at the bar with 2 sushi chefs. Truly a hidden gem.

D C.D C: some of the freshest sushi I've had that bests some other much more expensive options. they frequently also give you free sake if you're friendly :)

Al S.Al S: I love this bar. Laidback, no nonsense izakaya with excellent Japanese pub grub and Suntory Premium Malts lager on draft. Try one of the kushiyaki skewer sets and the yellowtail jalapeño rolls.

RalphRalph: Credit card minimum is now $10.

YMLYML: Try the Yakimochi -a mochi filled with slightly sweet, semi sweet red bean filling, garnish with black sesame, then grilled for a texture that is simultaneously crunchy, flaky and chewy.

Suzy T.Suzy Tran: Chef’s selection (omakase) is only $60 during lunch! Such a great value.. they have A5 wagyu and Hokkaido uni. Reserve a bar seat!

Elizabeth B.Elizabeth Burstein: Not the biggest fan - small portions and not great taste. But very nice service

James K.James Kiernan: Definitely fresh and well prepared sushi, however you’re better off going downstairs to Sushi by Bou. I do like how they serve their Miso soup in a science class beaker. 🍣
