Tom: Ramen chain from Japan. They offer customizable richness of broth and two types of noodles, both made in house. Was a little salty for my taste. The Karage was good starter. Very friendly service.

Asian Restaurant · East Village · 16 tips and reviews
Judy Cari: The octopus, if you are an uni fan their onsen egg & uni is a must have, the Foie Gras potato croquettes if u like foie gras is a must try. The duck and the chicken wrapped in Bamboo leaves.
Ranu Rajkarnikar: Cute Japanese matcha shop, lots of variety in drinks. The matcha is a bit stronger tasting here than other places I have tried. Take a matcha rice krispy to go with your latte!

Matt Newberg: another west village bar misappropriating authentic culture. the only thing more tragic than the execution of this noble concept is the fact that most new yorkers won't know the difference.

Josh Mateo: Blown away by the taste of everything, truly lives up to the name. Try a little bit of everything, family style. The Kal Bi and Smoked Bacon skewers paired with the Ebi Toast is great to start.

Japanese Curry Restaurant · NoLita · 28 tips and reviews

Dustin Lee: Beautiful presentation and great for the gram, but a bit lacking when it comes to the sushi. Some of the toppings completely overpower the fish
