Jianing QiMay 25, 2017We 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.
Paul ChangNovember 4, 2011The front part of this place is deceiving because it smells like shit, but the back is awesome with lots of good food smells
Kinjil MathurDecember 2, 2015don't get the sweet potato chips - awful. but everything else about this place rocks. reminds me of the small drinking bars of kyoto.
Miikka LehtonenMarch 30, 2013Do NOT leave this place without trying fugu sake and leaving generous tips.
kate spade new yorkOctober 4, 2010our favorite sake spot in the city, perfect for an evening with friends.
DesignkitchenNovember 15, 2010extensive sake list plus great food, but the atmosphere makes this place a must!
Candy SuiMarch 23, 2013Don'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 .
Jonathan GDecember 5, 2010Takowasa (raw octopus with wasabi sauce) paired with Yuki no Bosha is a perfect match!
Shani RajeshSeptember 1, 2010be ready to throw down, but well worth it, great vibe, delicious food, better sake
JohannaOctober 25, 2009Iichiko shochu + grapefruit juice. Simple and refreshing. And you get to order two to make the minimum ^_^

char bSeptember 25, 2013Tons of sake to choose from but stuck 3 people in the corner at a two person table, service was not good
Deirdre SullivanJanuary 16, 2010This 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.
Great small plates to go w drinks! Def try a sake from their specials.
jMarch 6, 2009Hole-in-the-ground izakaya with a great selection of sake and shochu. The most authentic one I've found in NYC yet.
Noah XifrJuly 18, 2010Try the pink milky thick rich Beni Kanbai Nigori Sake. U might really like it.
