LeezaJuly 5, 2012Amazing place. Get the tartar (unbelievable) and the rib eye if you want to die happy.
Patryk CJanuary 2, 2013Takashi offers the most exquisite selection of steaks. The mouthwatering US Kobe is a masterpiece of fine dining.
The New YorkerFebruary 15, 2011A two-wall mural offers descriptions and illustrations of various cuts of meat and horumon (literally, “discarded goods,” or offal), with notes on their vitamin content and supposed health benefits. Read more
CREATETHE GROUPNovember 28, 2012Cozy spot in the West Village that serves up odd beef parts in incredibly tasty ways. -John W.
Tani YeeApril 18, 2015Niku uni and the beef belly. don't take a vegetarian here - there's nothing on the menu for them
billy caeserNovember 26, 2014Service skill and quality of ingredients is probably best for (korean / japanese) BBQ in NYC
JuAnne NgJanuary 17, 2013Try the beef tendon, it's not like the beef tendon in pho! The meats were delicious.
Michael LuckenbillMay 30, 2012Best place to get modern Japanese food. You will want to take your wife or date here.
coughsodaNovember 9, 2014really great. the raw uni/beef shio leaves and cow brain toothpaste were the favorites
The Salup GroupNovember 2, 2010The Salup Group recommends the rib-eye for the faint-of-heart eater; for the more adventurous, try the achilles tendon!
Michael KimFebruary 28, 2012Best of the bunch: tongue, cheek, beef belly, 4th stomach, and heart. Don't date doubt me.
Irina LebedevaAugust 12, 2015The place is extremely overrated (the average rating was 9.6 when I went there). Quite tasteless raw food, simple decor,'cook your own' meat. Unimpressed, though a good place to try some exotic dishes
Sylvia Rupani-SmithSeptember 6, 2011possibly the most delicious place i've been in a long time. but possibly also the priciest.
- Stefanie CheukAugust 8, 2013For the adventurous eaters...try the testicle escargot...not all that bad....
Maddy MilanMay 21, 2011Order sake. They let you choose your own cup from a tray of mismatched ones. Super cute.
Thompson HotelsNovember 17, 2011Try the delicious Niku-Uni (chuck flap topped with sea urchin and fresh wasabi).
Jessica AprilMarch 24, 2011If you don't get the soft serve for dessert (with the salted caramel topping), you're doing it wrong.
