    We have waited for 20 minutes. A couple behind us got a seat before we do, and we are left on the waiting bench until the recipient led us to a really bad seat without any explanations. Bad service.

    The front part of this place is deceiving because it smells like shit, but the back is awesome with lots of good food smells

    don't get the sweet potato chips - awful. but everything else about this place rocks. reminds me of the small drinking bars of kyoto.

    Don't come on a Friday night when you are REALLY hungry. Coz long time waiting in line AND waiting for food. Gyu Don is really yummy but very small portion. Place is too small so very noisy .

    Takowasa (raw octopus with wasabi sauce) paired with Yuki no Bosha is a perfect match!

    This is the very first sake bar that opened in NYC. The decor is reminiscent of CBGBs and the sake list is divine. Warning: rude wait staff and pretty awful food but that is apart of this bar's charm.
