All of the food shows excellence through simplicity and it's a perfect spot for a date night. Don't miss the Uni Croquette, Branzini, or Washu-Beef Short Rib Sashimi. Read all about my visit below! Read more

It does feel like being in a friend's living room. Fantastic food and drinks, good vibes, chill crowds, and awesome service. One of the most exclusive but worth trying spots in New York

Come for the food, stay for the Angel Share quality Japanese cocktails. Great infused whiskeys and gins. Anything with egg whites tastes like a boozy milkshake.
Noah WeissNovember 26, 2014
Make your own tasting menu. The uni croquette with mushrooms was worth every $3 bite. The short rib sashimi was great too. Go heavy on appetizers and enjoy what feels like a Japanese living room.

Its been the 12 time i go and i will keep doing. The short rib sashimi de foie gras soba and the washu beef steak makes me salivate while writing. The green tea sundae in the picture was great too! 🤤

Those lucky enough to book a reservation will enjoy an exquisite six-course tasting menu of traditional Japanese cuisine. Bohemian is the perfect place to enjoy a unique, off-the- beaten-path meal. Read more

Everything is great. Loving the speakeasy vibe, make sure to book. Their drinks is great, beef and branzino is a must. If u like cod, don't miss out their miso cod, much better than NOBU 💁🏻#1fave

Amazing beef choices - short rib sashimi, steaks with a heaping amount of crispy potatoes, steak tartar. Don’t miss the ikura/sashimi bowl, uni croquettes, and miso cod if you’re a fish person.
JamieAugust 15, 2015
Loved the tartare and short rib sashimi. Get the sweet potatoes with your steak - they're fantastic. Great cocktails too!
Celena ChanJune 12, 2015
While the tasting menu can be tempting-- I would recommend ordering a la carte, since the tasting menu misses out on some of the gems (miso cod, foie gras soba, steak).

If you're able to get the phone number to this place, you're in for a treat. Tucked away in an old building previously owned by Andy Warhol, Bohemian triggers "look-what-I've-found" goosebumps. Read more

It’s hidden inside a studio that once belonged to Andy Warhol, so that alone is worth the visit. And then, of course, there’s the amazing food… Read more

Take a date here (if you can find the secret phone # for reservations, shhhh) and share this fun fact over drinks: Jean-Michel Basquiat died of a drug overdose in the studio upstairs. Instant romance!
Peter WuApril 5, 2015
Learning about this place is only the first step. Get a referral by a prior diner to get in the door! Once you're in, the uni croquette and branzini are must-gets (and don't skip the cocktails!)
Wendy QiuFebruary 6, 2015
Tasting menu is the way to go! Branzino to share was fragrant with herbs and came on a sizzling skillet with potatoes/ cauliflower/ Brussels sprouts
Christian BorgesSeptember 14, 2018
Awesome dining experience. Food and atmosphere were fantastic, and the fact that it's so underground, in a "speakeasy" way makes it that much more of a cool experience, and keeps the crowd authentic.
Martin S.September 7, 2015
The food is exquisite. The steak is a little overpriced. But everything was delicious. The Bergamot cocktail was interesting and satisfying. Their mixology is on par.
Sofia FigueroaApril 10, 2017
Tasting menu & cocktails! Cool MCM furniture with a living room vibe. Check out the Japanese toilets, live late night guitar.

My not-so-secret spot in NY to have a nice and relaxed dinner. Seats are too comfortable, which is great for me. Food is constantly amazing. Prices are ok+ for NY.
Sandy CheungDecember 27, 2013
Hidden gem in NYC! The washu beef was so tender and juicy, a pinch of sea salt enhances the wonderful flavour. They also do amazing cocktails, love the Type C. You will not be disappointed!
Linda ChowJune 26, 2015
Tasting menu was to die for! Very romantic and good for dates. A great dining experience. Loved the branzino and uni croquette the most. Will need to make reservations!
S MMay 4, 2018
Every single item we got was delicious! Short ribs sashimi and garlic shrimp are a must try! But it’s like you can’t go wrong with their menu
Richard BOctober 3, 2017
Fantastic invite-only Japanese-inspired restaurant behind a butcher shop. Highly recommend the uni croquette, cocktails, garlic shrimp and washu beef burgers.
AditiMarch 22, 2018
My favorites - beef tartar, tuna poke, double smoked bacon, mushroom risotto. The atmosphere is great and service INCREDIBLE.
Gabriel ChungApril 14, 2016
This is a very cool place and hidden, exclusive, nice decor, great vibe and the food is delicious. Try the tasting menu if you get a seat!
ZenFoodsterAugust 21, 2015
Japanese fusion speak-easy w/ minimalist living room decor, skylight, & low chairs that squeak on polished, concrete floor in former home of Warhol & Basquiat's.
Alison SAugust 27, 2013
Everyone will tell you to order the sake panna cotta. While delicious, it's more "different" than "dessert." Order two scoops of the goat cheese and cherry ice cream instead. You WON'T regret it.
GenaJune 20, 2016
Don't miss the Uni croquettes, steak sampler, fondue, fried sweet potatoes & miso cod. Everything is spectacular.
Benjamin PalmerNovember 23, 2016
branzino like 1000%. uni croquette, *vegetable fondue*. if they have ichiro's malt you should have some.
Joseph de LeonNovember 16, 2013
The exclusivity alone is why you should go.... the premium beef and great service is an added treat.... def one of the best dining experiences in New York.. hands down.
JasonAugust 22, 2014
The tasting menu is reasonably priced and definitely a choice to consider if you are hungry and want to dazzle your taste buds. But keep in mind that other parties need to par take as well.
Princess Abigail BacaniJanuary 23, 2013
Tucked behind a butcher shop in a building previously owned by Andy Warhol, this hidden eatery isn't just hard to find - it's hard to get into. Authentic Japanese fare. Order the tasting menu.
Untapped CitiesNovember 12, 2015
Bohemian is as exclusive as it gets in NYC–it can only be experienced by referral from a previous guest. The New York iteration is tucked down a long hallway next to Japanese Premium Beef. Read more

Don't sleep on the Pork Loin it's secretly the best thing on the menu. The uni croquette is pretty tasty. The ambiance and service is top rate. Washu steak could have been prepared better
Wen XueMay 16, 2017
Beef sashimi is very good. Pan roasted branzino tasted good with simple seasoning and lots of herb aroma, though some bites could be a tad too dry. Uni croquette was a disappointment; don't order it!

Hand carved ice ball for your Yamazaki on the rocks. Forego the tasting menu but don't forget to try the foie gras soba. Branzino perfect for sharing.

This secret "members-only" establishment has managed to tenaciously maintain it's covert identity. The restaurant, hidden behind an exceptional butcher shop, Japan Premium Beef shelling out washu-gyu. Read more

You have to know someone who's dined here to get a reservation. The environment is what's special here – it feels like you're dining in your super-hip Japanese friend's living room.
Inna GMarch 12, 2017
Mushroom risotto and miso cod was good. The restaurant is invite only and exclusive, but a bit overhyped. The drinks are nice and food served at a slower pace, which makes it enjoyable.
Curtis ShoungJune 6, 2015
So good. Did not want to like, type of place reservations are super hard to get, you need to call in and boom with a referral name... But damn it was tasty. Ended up at $100/pp.
ZenFoodsterAugust 21, 2015
Price point great 4 creative fare & portions. Star was Foie gras soba but w/ Svc & all else (uni croquette, veggie fondue, assorted sashimi rice "teacup," dbl smoked bacon, & burger), 9.2 fell short.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014
The phone number to make a reservation is passed down by word of mouth. The extra effort to get it is well worth it though, especially for the $58 tasting menu.
Ranu RajkarnikarSeptember 17, 2014
Love the cozy, living room vibe. Get the sliders, giant slab of bacon, uni croquettes, and save room for dessert.
Bergdorf GoodmanDecember 11, 2013
It's a BG New York City secret! Donald Oliver of J Brand loves this quiet, quaint Japanese restaurant, which he notes as one of the few secret places left in New York.

A special spot, great for a date night or double date. The bowl of ikura and full branzino were my favorites.
Zach AaronsDecember 22, 2011
Secret phone number required for reservations. Continental cuisine as interpreted by Japanese chefs. Located in the old studio of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Delicious food. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Connie ChiuOctober 22, 2016
Such delicious food all around in a cool vibe and unique experience. The uni croquette is the best.
Kevin NgApril 24, 2015
That good secret you don't really want other people to know. Ring the bell to enter behind the butcher store. Tasting menu x Cocktails for a killer combo.
MarcApril 26, 2013
