    Delicious. They are located in Mituwa supermarket. I ordered an unagi set dish: eel with different toppings on the rice, dilled vegetables, and miso soup. It was so good, and I look forward to returning. Unagi is one of my favorites, and the way they made it with some tuna, cucumber, and other toppings made it even nicer. The price was not bad either. I recommend this place for anyone to check out if you want nice seafood topped with a bed of rice. The service was nice and quick. You order and wait for food; there is hardly any ambiance. It's in the food court area of Mituwa, which can be very packed on the weekends. More and more people have come to this place over the years. Mituwa is a wonderful place to eat Japanese food. We go there about once a month. All the food is delicious there, and I have not had any bad meals here.

    I hadn't seen this stall at Mitsuwa before, so I decided to give it a try. I was underwhelmed. There was a decent variety of seafood and fish, but most of them didn't taste that fresh. The sashimi tasted quite fishy. The uni was probably the best part, but this isn't something I would bother ordering again.

    Great food for a good price. Ordered the spicy poke, fresh poke is hard to find in the NYC area.

    FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. I wish could give 0 star instead. I placed my order at 3:10 PM and didn't receive it until 3:36 PM. It was clear they had forgotten about it--no apology, no explanation, just bad attitude from the staff. On top of that, the food looked nothing like what was advertised. Very disappointed. I won't be coming back.

    The food was so good. I loved the tofu skin and the meat was nice. The rice was nice and soft too.

    Always heard a lot about Mitsuwa Marketplace as well as the food court there, so when I finally stopped by, I had to order some food from the stalls there. This place serves both tempura-dons and kaisen-dons so naturally we had to get a Kaisen Don set and a Black Tiger Shrimp Don Set. The set comes with soup and some pickles. Aesthetically speaking, the food was on point when it came out. Looks pretty much identical to the images and super appetizing. The actual taste of the food was just alright though, nothing special. The sashimi in the kaisen-don didn't have as much flavor as I expected it to honestly. I'm not sure why, I'm used to the tuna and salmon just tasting better though. The tempura don I got also specified that this more "premium" set used Black Tiger Shrimp as opposed to regular ones for Shrimp Tempura, but overall, it tasted about the same as regular shrimp to me. I added on a piece of whitefish and that was quite good, soft, buttery and flakey. It might have also been because it was near end of the day but the color of the tempura was a little on the dark side, and the flavor had a bit too much of the "old oil" flavor to it that comes about when you reuse oil/leave it out for a prolonged period of time. Overall, pretty decent, and good that the stall is open later than most.

    Great service and amazing quality. I always come here for fresh chirashi.

    Always my go-to at Mitsuwa! Uni chirashi is fresh, tasty, and great value every time.

    Stopped through Mitsuwa and decided to grab a quick lunch. I ended up opting for the soba combo. Soba noodles came out super cold which I loved. Only thing I wished they gave with the soba noodles were minced radish, which I thought was the basic standard when eating soba. The bowl that came with the soba noodles were un proportioned. Rice ratio was too much compared to the food it came out with. Egg was cooked perfectly and shrimp was fried and tasted good, but like I stated way too much rice and too little food. I guess with the inflation it's not a bad deal but most likely wont order this set next time I decide to eat here. Wait time was also rather long but at the same time lots of customers. Typical food court set up inside a supermarket.

    That's all the uni I got & see that giant clump of fake crab just below it?

    So sad!! I just got home with my Hokkaido Chirashi bowl and the itty bit of uni that they gave me is so old and chemical tasting that my cat won't even eat it. The real crab in my bowl is watered down with fake crab. There's about 2lbs of rice and the tiniest bit of toppings. This place used to be SO good!! What happened?! Why are there angsty teens working here now instead of people who actually appreciate providing a meal for patrons. Obviously there's no ambiance because it's a food hall. But man, the food is so bad now. I spent $20 on a lunch for my trash can. (Because even my cats won't eat it!)

    Shoyu Poke bowl $13.48

    Food came out quickly even on a busy Sunday evening! Poke bowl was plated very aesthetically! Super fresh salmon, tuna and avocado! Perfect portion!

    We went out yesterday and overindulged so when we decided to come to Mitsuwa for a sushi bowl, I was excited to eat something fresh! I got the Jewelry Chirashi bowl and it was pretty much what I was looking for. Bits of salmon, bits of tuna, shrimp, various vegetables, pickled ginger on top of a bed of rice hit the spot. Everything tasted fresh and there was a good bit of protein to start my day. For $15, I was expecting a little more raw fish but hey, I get it, times are hard, everything is more expensive now! If you're looking for something fresh to kick start your day, I'd stop by to get a bowl!

    Service is great Tried one of each temaki roll except for you cus they didn't have it It was okay. Most were okay but the California one had way too much mayo. I def prefer DOMO DOMO. I'd prob get a poke bowl instead Instead mitsuwa

    Scallop, eel, uni eel boxes
    Vicky L.

    The jewel box description got me right away. Then I saw they had scallops. So I ordered the scallop jewel box and it was good. I think there could have been a bit more flavor ( maybe that's what the soy sauce packet was for?), but overall the sushi was fresh and I enjoyed my bowl. It was also quite pretty to look at. I tried the scallop, the eel, and the shrimp and uni jewel boxes and I really don't think you can go wrong. Also, it is very decently priced. I think it's called a jewel box because it's your main ingredient sitting on a bed tuna, sweet egg, and roe on top of rice and it looks pretty like you're looking at a jewel box.

The attention to every meticulous element, from pacing to presentation, created a dining experience that felt truly special. The meal itself was extraordinary. Each course was not only beautifully executed but deeply flavorful and thoughtfully composed. The Mushroom Cappuccino was a perfect start rich, earthy, and comforting with incredible depth. The sweet potato with madeira reduction was a standout, balancing sweetness and richness with elegance. Le Royale was indulgent and refined, while the blue prawns were cooked to perfection delicate and bursting with flavor. Le Tropical brought a bright, refreshing contrast that tied the progression of the meal together beautifully. Even the bread service deserves recognition often overlooked, but here it was exceptional. Paired with the Winter Harvest Highball and the No. 3, the beverage program matched the food in both creativity and execution. What truly elevated the evening was having the pleasure of meeting Chef Christophe and touring the kitchen. He was incredibly down to earth, and his philosophy about food thoughtful, intentional, and rooted in passion clearly shines through in every dish. Every bite was delicious, every detail intentional. This is dining at the highest level refined, memorable, and truly deserving of its Michelin star. I can't wait to return.

The setting is contemporary with a touch of French flair, highlighted by large floral arrangements, and the service was attentive and flawless over the course of our three-hour meal. Two of us chose the 4-course tasting menu and two went for the 7-course, and the kitchen executed both formats seamlessly at the same table. Two diners opted for the wine pairings, while the others enjoyed cocktails and additional glasses of wine, all thoughtfully matched to the dishes. The evening was spectacular from start to finish, with no weak courses. Standouts included the sashimi, frogs' legs, scallops, beef cap, and squab, each beautifully prepared and memorable. With tip, the total came to about $1,800 for four, which we felt was good value for the quality, service, and overall experience. Surprisingly, most guests were dressed business casual, so the atmosphere felt relaxed rather than stuffy.

It's definitely a more elevated take on Mexican coastal cuisine. Fideo Seco (4.5/5): The highlight of the night. The creaminess paired with the lobster was great. Grilled Octopus (4.25/5): cooked just right and paired with a unique, crispy sweet potato which made it fun to eat. Baked Clams (4/5): Delicious, though $21 for only 5 pieces felt a bit steep. Fajitas Nortenas (4/5): The steak could have been more tender, but the flavor was great--especially when paired with their excellent corn tortillas. Tacos de Langosta (4/5): A solid taco, but not exactly a "must-order." For $28, getting only two tacos felt a bit steep for what it was Skip the Drinks: Both the Watermelon Margarita and Passion Fruit Mojito felt overly strong and lacked a unique flavor profile Save Room for Dessert: Surprisingly impressive! The Chocolate Molten wasn't overly sweet, and the Strawberry Flan featured rhubarb that paired perfectly with the custard. A great spot for a high-end seafood dinner, though the drinks didn't quite live up to the food.
