You don't need to be a lady to order the Ladies Lunch special. Nice combo, changes daily. Excellent overall with reasonable (for Japanese in NYC) prices.
Tiny restaurant, so expect long lines. However, you’ll be rewarded with a delicious ramen broth. Try the Chicken Ramen and the Char Su Pork Ramen, which is blowtorch charred right in front of you.
Fish tacos! Sushi. Pretzel-crusted crab cake. Branding. The lollipop tree. And Willamette Valley Pinot
Try the sisig, a typical Filipino dish made with pork head. Less adventurous options include longanisa sausage or sizzling corned beef hash with garlic fried rice. Read more.
Venerated late night Chinatown spot. Roast pork (and skin-on roast pig), noodles, fried soft shell crabs, and stir fried garlic chives are smart orders here.
Their take on the classic Beef & Broccoli dish is a braised short rib served alongside Chinese broccoli and thick udon noodles. Get at it. Read more.
Nice atmosphere but food was subpar. Had the corned beef w/fried egg & garlic rice which was OK- not worth $10. Friend had bangus w/same sides & not impressed. Maja blanca OK (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
Portions are huge. One order of one dish is enough to split between two people. I suggest the Crispy Orange Beef or any of the Noodle dishes! If you want soup - go for the seafood curry!
Red Sea roll is awesome. The toro roll is so good the fish is like butter and the crunch makes it. The Miso Black Cod is not great. Do not miss the Tempura Cheesecake! YUMMA!
Go to the bathroom, it's a life changing experience and possibly the namesake of this restaurant.
This seemingly hole-in-the-wall spot serves up some of our favorite & most inventive special sushi rolls in the city. Personal favs: Big Mac, Billy Joel, Spicy Tuna Sandwich, & 8 Crazy Nights rolls.
The braised skate and calamari is great ... If you like it spicy get it ... I have eaten spicier hotter Thai so don't be put off by the 3 stars warning. Eat it with roti. Crispy !
Can't go wrong with ANYTHING on the menu but top favorites were the crispy pork/fried oyster salad, black rice noodles, and banana fritter dessert
Tue's $13 ($16 after 12pm) chirashi sushi bowl (salmon, yellowtail, tuna, cooked eel, shrimp, mackeral, salmon roe, & seaweed) + miso soup deal..Great quantity & quality!
The kitchen’s signature is a reconstituted Caprese salad served bibim style, with the elements mixed at the table: tomato, mozzarella, tomato jelly and a dressing of puréed arugula and olive oil. Read more.
Tip: Eat galbi sliders and the other bar snacks on the northeast side of the room, with its impressive view of the Empire State Building. http://bit.ly/TkfMQm
Lychee martini to start , Spicy Tuna Tartare on Crispy Rice is to die for!!!! an end with the most amazing Chilean sea bass or coconut shrimp! It's the most flavorful thing in the world!! :)
The slim restaurant’s sardine-can-size kitchen sends out wild riffs on sushi, like pork-belly or chopped-beef-with-uni & more gluttonous dishes like a grilled cheese sandwich oozing melted foie gras. Read more.
Blending Thai and Vietnamese, OBAO bridges the gap between the streets of Southeast Asia and the streets of NYC into "Modern Thai." Try the Grilled Japanese Eggplant, Fresh Shrimp Rolls & Pad Thai.

Totto Ramen’s original ramen shop in Hell’s Kitchen is notorious for its hours-long wait and no-reservations policy. Avoid the hassle at the newly opened location (just a block away).
$10 lunch special is amazing. Comes with rice, naan, lentils, veg of the day, main dish & dessert!
Great place to go before (or after) a night of drinking. The chicken balls are amazing, as is the pork belly special. Food comes out when ready, not at the same time.
As for the custom, take off your shoes by the "genkan" and get ready for THE real Japanese barbecue
Delicious import from Philly. Get the Dan Dan Noodles!! The tofu/fish dishes are also super solid. Tends to be very spicy so go lower if you wimp out on spicy food.
The menu includes things like Dan Dan noodles, beef tendons in chili oil, and dry pepper chicken wings, plus 14 protein-based entrees. The early word is very good.
