an impeccable dining experience from start to finish. Every dish was beautifully prepared. The atmosphere is both elegant and inviting, and the staff were attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming. I'll definitely be coming back :) read more

Great food and such cute vibes! We really enjoyed the corn ribs & also had the unagi croissant - nothing bad to say about it but it is just exactly what you would expect, unagi in a croissant, and I would probably get a different appetizer instead. For mains I got the hamachi don - with thick slices of yellowtail. It was a very refreshing bowl. My friend got the duck pasta and I really liked it - strong pepper corn flavor. Unfortunately we didn't have space for dessert, but will definitely need to come back for it some time! read more

The food here is amazing, but the portions are pretty small for the price. My favorite was the ribeye fried rice and hamachi carpaccio. The truffle in the food was amazing (if it includes truffle), even the smell of it was potent. They do have a lot of seating and the service is pretty quick. I do recommend a reservation in case it does get busy read more

Manhatto - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Dinner here on a Saturday evening, highly recommend getting a reservation as the whole restaurant was busy. The food is pretty good, but also a bit expensive for the portion sizes. Flavor wise, the best dish we got were the brussels sprouts. The teapot also is very nice as well got free refills. The ramens were yummy but on the smaller side, and honestly worse than any other ramen places eg Ippudo. The portions here are definitely on the smaller side, but the food overall is decent, and the vibes are very lively and hip. Looking forward to trying other dishes off the menu next time! read more

Manhatto - Unagi Don - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

I generally take any kind of "modern", "fusion" Japanese with a huge grain of shio--but Manhatto won me over with most of its dishes. - Sweet Corn Ribs: Love that this is becoming more common in the NYC food scene because who doesn't love bite-sized pieces of sweet corn on the cob tossed in spicy garlic seasoning? - Trio Pearl Crudo: A refreshing concoction of Hokkaido scallop, Hokkaido uni and salmon roe with yuzu mignonette sauce. Perfect for these blistering summer days. - Yuzu Creamy Salad: Unless you reeeeally need the fiber, I'd skip this very basic caesar salad. It's not bad, just not worth the stomach space when there are so many other things to try. - Toridori Roll: If you skew more traditional like me, opt for this maki made with tuna, salmon, yellowtail, avocado, cucumber, and jalapeño. As basic as a millennial who loves food and travel. - Hell's Kitchen Roll: If you skew more creative--or just plain don't eat seafood--you might prefer this maki of sweet potato tempura, pickled radish, shiitake, white seaweed, chive, and Japanese curry mayo. It wasn't for me, but there's a lid for every pot, I hear. - Uni Mentai Pasta: As creamy and carby as any mentaiko pasta--just too small in portion to be a real entree. But that's the Manhattan tax, for you. - Wagyu Shoyu Ramen: Came with a large, thinly sliced cut of A5 wagyu beef and ramen noodles in a clear truffle shoyu broth. Not bad, but not one I'd order again unless you really want some rare Wagyu. - Salmon Ikura Don: Generously loaded and perfectly made. For libations, I tried the Homemade Yuzu Soda. Skip it, unless you like your yuzu to taste like candy. No idea why it was so sweet, but there was no trace of yuzu flavor in it at all. Their homemade soda machine must've been broken. Honestly, the biggest fault I had with Manhatto was that apps were priced like entrees, and entrees were portioned like apps (but not priced like them). But that's a problem endemic to most of Manhattan's restaurants these days. read more

Recommendations- Uni Mentai Pasta, Kara-age This is a very unique Japanese spot within Hell's Kitchen that I went to with a small group a good while ago. I would characterize this place specifically as an izakaya with some interesting yōshoku/Western-style Japanese options. The staff was friendly, and the inside was relatively quiet. We went there before they had a liquor license, but they have since added a nice selection of wines, sakes, shochu, and the like. First to arrive of the appetizers was one of the more interesting dishes of the night, a Japanese-Italian fusion called Sweet Potato Mortadella for $14, with roasted sweet potato, mortadella, sesame, micro greens, and a honey-glaze sauce. The mix of sweetness and saltiness from the various elements was unique, though it was a bit hard to combine everything. This was a bit odd, but fun. A more standard appetizer was the $13 Kara-age, or Japanese-style fried chicken with spicy mayo. I have had this dish from plenty of places, and this was a good rendition. The breading wasn't too thick, and the chicken was very moist. The sauce wasn't too spicy, but it worked. I also liked this. The favorite of the main dishes was the Uni Mentai Pasta for $29, with uni, snow crab, salmon roe, and spaghetti in a creamy cod roe sauce. This was their more seafood-focused version of a common wafu pasta dish, and it was different but tasty. The snow crab was plentiful, and the salmon roe added a pop of saltiness. The mentaiko flavor was a bit less spicy than usual, which I usually don't like, but in this case, it worked as you could taste the various seafood elements more easily. This was very tasty and a good spin. There was also the tasty $49 Ribeye Fried Rice, with USDA prime ribeye, miso compound butter, marinated egg yolk, and fried rice. The fried rice was very tasty with plenty of umami, and this was especially the case with the egg yolk added to it. The ribeye was plentiful and flavorful, but it wasn't the most tender, reminding me more of skirt steak due to the slight chew. Overall, the dish worked, but would have been better if the ribeye had been sliced/cooked better. Another dish was the Kamo Miso Pasta for $30, with seared duck breast, Parmigiano Reggiano, and spaghetti with white miso butter sauce. The duck was cooked a bit better than the steak, and I liked the mix of fat and skin. There was a vague miso flavor, with the fried rice having more of it. The dish felt a bit too buttery and rich overall, so I slightly preferred the other pasta dish as it felt a bit more balanced, but it was still good enough. Last was a standard $25 Salmon Ikura Don. There were seven large pieces of salmon, a pretty good amount of salmon roe below, and some other vegetables, including broccoli and some purple seaweed. It was worth the price due to the fish quality, but I would go to other places instead for sushi or sashimi. This was a pretty good and unique izakaya. There were a couple of interesting ideas, but I wish some dishes (ribeye, duck) had been executed better. read more

Delicious meal! The restaurant has a good vibe for date night or just a nice dinner with the girls. The staff were super friendly and helpful with helping us decide on what to get, and the food came out quickly as well. My favourite was definitely the scallop! The order comes with two and we just added another one on the side. The yuzu flavor balanced really well with the fresh scallop and uni. The sashimi pear salad was really fresh and refreshing. The uni pasta was so creamy and would highly recommend. The miso butter steak was nicely cooked and the rice was really well flavored. Would highly recommend! read more

Unagi croissant: I've never had buttery croissant mixed with unagi but it was an interesting combo. A little salty but they gave a good amount of unagi. Brussels sprouts: This was so good! Probably my favorite dish of the night. It was nice and crispy with a sweet glaze. Trio crudo: It felt a little small for the price and the scallops were really thin. The uni just melted so I couldn't really taste it, but the sauce was citrusy and refreshing. Corn ribs: The flavor was really good! It made me feel like I was eating chips but corn version. Mentaiko uni pasta: Creamy without being too heavy. They gave a generous amount of crab, uni, and salmon roe. A little too strong on the Kewpie Mayo in my opinion but it was still good. I also got the barley milk tea which was really delicious and not overly sweet. Like all fusion places, I did think the prices were a little steep for the portions but it should be expected at this point lol. read more

Manhatto is such a lovely addition to the neighborhood and I'm thrilled to have such a great new Japanese restaurant close by! The space has a beautiful aesthetic that is both stylish and comfortable. The fish was fresh, portions were generous and there were plenty of menu options -- easy to find something for everyone. The yuzu and matcha cocktails were creative and strong too. The service was wonderful and the servers were so friendly and attentive. Overall, we had a great experience and the prices are quite reasonable. We came for dinner but also saw that they have great value lunch sets too so we'll definitely be back to try those out! read more

Been here twice so far. Fave dish is the uni mentai pasta -- great udon x pasta fusion w loads of flavor. Gyu don comes comes -- tender meat w lots of umami. Finally, also got the hamburg omu (good meat, but not mind blowing) and the kaisen don (felt like it lacked sushi and not worth the price). Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Visiting family in New York. Stopped in for dinner last night. Had a wonderful and delicious meal. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful. We were seated quickly and given a carafe of water. The place was slowly filling up with patrons. The restaurant is inviting and welcoming. It was decorated with cool light fixtures and lovely Japanese tapestries. We started with truffle oil edamame, Unagi Croissant, and corn ribs. The truffle edamame was very warm and flavorful. The corn ribs were seasoned to perfection and the parmesan cheese heightened the flavors. The croissant was very good with all the balanced flavors of eel, cream cheese, cucumber, and teriyaki sauce. For dinner we ordered the Hamburg Omu Supreme. Good curry gravy with a hamburger steak like patty with an egg on top of a bed of rice. The Brisket Yakisoba was the best entree we ordered. All the ingredients married together made the dish wonderful. We shared all of our food. All of our food was delish! If ever in New York, come try out this newish gem of a restaurant. read more

Very spacious place. My FAVORITES here were: - uni mentai pasta - this was very flavorful and creamy) - kamo miso pasta (duck with miso pasta) the duck was on point and I could really taste black pepper in the pasta. reminded me a bit of cacio e pepe - geso karage (fried squid appetizer) paired well with the spicy mayo - barley milk tea was a great drink. It was a little on the sweet side (this was free with a google review). OTHER ITEMS I TRIED: - Rib eye fried rice was soso. The rib eye was slightly burnt on the edges for medium rare and not very flavorful so you can prob skip on that one. - Corn Ribs were like the elote mexican corn on the cob. decent appetizer - Tomato Burrata - I love burrata but dish wasn't that special for me although presentation wise it was pretty. There was balsamic vinaigrette drizzled on the burrata and you can spread it on the toast with the different fruits or tomato. - Salmon Ikura Don - typical salmon sashimi with some ikura on top of vinegary rice. Nothing special as well since I just had some salmon sashimi from hashimart the day before and it was like the same. - Honey Toast with Matcha Ice cream - we got 1 to share between 4 people and it was a good dessert. I really liked the matcha ice cream here. - Miso Butter Roll (crab meat , puffed rice, red onion, asparagus, fried shallot, miso butter sauce) roll had a good amount of crab meat in each roll. Overall great place to eat with friends. Well decorated. Waiters occasionally came to change plates and add water to our cups which was nice. read more

very boring tbh! the menu items all looked like they would be super unique and have really delicious flavor combinations, but i found that all the dishes were pretty standard, and at a price point that was not justifiable. everything felt like we could have made it at home easily. the service was good though, and the restaurant itself is beautiful and very new! corn ribs: really good tbh, sweet and easy to eat, but nothing super unique yakisoba: very soy sauce heavy, no unique or delicate flavors outside of saltiness yuzu fish salad: fish was relatively fresh, and generous thick cuts. otherwise, the dressing was not too special, a bit too sour even, could use a bit more sweetness. the cranberries were so random and i think could be replaced with a different element. overall, nothing was bad per say, but nothing was that good either. read more

Some classic Japanese dishes and some with a unique twist. The uni mentai pasta was so good and creamy. The chicken katsu curry and hamburger omurice had a delicious curry sauce and great meat. The corn ribs had a delightful seasoning that complemented the corn taste well. The sweet potato mortadella was an interesting dish--not sure if it went well together, but the sweet potato and mortadella each on their own were very good. The chicken karaage was crispy and tender. The honey toast (with matcha ice cream) was also amazing! No disappointments basically. The inside is beautifully decorated. I should have made a reservation, but they were able to squeeze in my walk in group of 4 at 6:30 PM for an hour, which I appreciated. Super excited to have this place open up in Hell's Kitchen and would love to come back read more

A Japanese Western fusion with a clean design, Manhatto is a welcome new restaurant on the busy blocks on Hell's Kitchen. The food is mostly Japanese flavors with touches of outside influence. For those looking for the traditional look and feel, this might not be it, but for those wanting to go more experimental, Manhatto delivers. Taste: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value for money: 3.5/5 We had: 1. Salmon Ikura Don - rather standard, the sushi rice was very strong on the vinegar 2. Uni Mentai Pasta - probably the best of the three we ordered, great strong flavours, recommend to split this given the richness of the cream, there is also crab in this dish which was a bonus to us 3. Tsukemen - this was like a deconstructed ramen, the broth was very rich, overall it was good, better as a ramen 4. Genmaicha Barley Milk Tea - this was a great drink! Too bad it was loaded with ice Overall this was a decent spot, felt like an item here or there was cutting corners but it was good. What made this meal better was the service, the servers were very attentive! read more

Having recently opened in Hell's Kitchen, we checked out the menu and so many items look tantalizing to say the least. So we came for dinner to a packed restaurant on a Thursday evening, and we secured the last available table in the house. The host and service was friendly, albeit a little slow at times. Overall, we had a great experience but feel there's still so much potential that has yet to be realized. For one, Manhatto does not yet have a liquor license - so options were limited to non-alcoholic beer, mocktails, and tea. We did enjoy the hot Sencha tea, which was a great addition to the meal. Now, for food: Miso soup: solid. Geso (squid) Karaage: delicious, a favorite! (even if it is a take on fried calamari, but shhh) Asian Pear salad - loved it. Yuzu Caesar salad - fantastic. Toridori roll - so good, just not a full-size portion for a sushi roll (5 pcs). Miso Salmon - perfectly cooked and loved the overall flavor, just felt it was missing more on the plate with just a handful of lettuce leaves and a lemon. Brisket Yakisoba - loved it. Overall verdict: cute space, super yummy food and would definitely go back ...but with the expectation that the portions are a bit small for the price. read more

Delicious fusion Japanese and Italian spot. Most dishes were really good!! - Unagi croissant ($15): 11/10, I REALLY liked this. DEF get!! Love unagi, and the croissant texture was good (not like bakery level but still good) - Hamachi carpaccio ($20): 6/10, the hamachi was fresh, but the flavors in this dish all clashed together - Corn ribs ($14): 10/10, so solid!! Tastes like elote - Brisket yakisoba ($22): 6/10, meh nothing outstanding but still yummy - Kamo miso pasta ($30): 7/10, the duck was soft, and the sauce was yummy. Noodle texture wasn't too hard. Prob wouldn't get again tho - Uni mentai pasta ($29): 11/10, I REALLY liked this. The sauce was yummy, and the uni, fish roe, and crab were fresh. Very creamy. Would def get again - Ribeye fried rice ($49): 6/10, meh. Super overpriced for what it is. Still good but not THAT good read more

uni mentai pasta ($29) - THE BEST DISH ever and so so worth it - they really dont skimp out on the seafood because do you see how it's literally loaded with salmon roe, crab, and slabs of fresh uni - every bite was buttery smooth with pops of freshness from the roe... love the umami swirl in my mouth - noodle texture was perfect too; bouncy chewy and not too soggy ribeye fried rice ($49) - the fried rice itself was such a banger it reminded me of the din tai fung ones... - the rice was nicely separated from one another, not too oily, had a perfect chew, and well seasoned - the steak itself was a bit underwhelming however; it was kind of touGH and not that juicy... roommate said i make better steak at home and it'd be only $15 brehh i agree - overall... i like it but it is not worth $49 at all especially given how the steak execution wasnt satisfactory - i liked the fried rice more than the steak miso butter roll ($28) - lots and lots of stuff in here! Even though you can't really tell - this is quite a steep price for small sushi rolls but it's probably because of the crab which they also did put a good amount - flavor and texture weren't memorable; didn't really taste the miso and butter as advertised - overall good but tastes pretty ordinary for this price rating: 3.8/5 - mixed feeling about this place because some dishes are SO DIVINE while some really need improvements - while the ingredients were fresh, i feel like the restaurant didnt use them to their max potential in terms of flavor, hence resulting in expensive dishes that taste ordinary - great spot for date nights though! Feels like an elevated and classy experience BUT it's very much a casual friendly vibes - quick and standard service IG: @nom.noms.only read more

I've seen many great reviews on social media for Manhatto, but I did unfortunately find it a little underwhelming and overhyped. An immediate positive would be that the service was great and the staff is very attentive. However, the food itself was just alright in my opinion. Many of the dishes such as omurice, curry, mentaiko pasta, are now pretty commonly found so the question is how does it differ or stand out? I think it's good food and to the point. I just expected a bit of a factor to justify the prices. I can only speak for the omurice hamburger in terms of entree. My favorite was the crudo as it was delicious and fresh. It was a pricey dish albeit pretty. The beef tongue was also delicious but there were some parts that seemed to have different cooks than others. Overall, I think it's a straightforward menu and they serve solid food but it's missing that wow factor for me to justify the higher prices. read more

I honestly wanted to gatekeep this, but they deserve all the love. Manhatto immediately jumped to the top of my favorite Japanese restaurants in NYC. The matcha shokupan dessert has stayed on my mind since, and the ribeye fried rice is MASSIVE! The interior is beautiful, warm and cozy, like a japanese jazz cafe. Even small details, like how clean the restroom was, stood out to me. The service was also AMAZING -- super friendly and attentive staff. Such a solid choice for a date night or a relaxed dinner I'd happily come back for. ＊Uni Mentai Pasta $29 * Almost every table ordered this pasta - layers of snow crab, uni, ikura, and mentaiko, but surprisingly not heavy at all. I loved that it wasn't overly creamy or cheesy like most mentaiko pasta. ＊Ribeye Fried Rice $49 ** Okay I know this is pricey, but they literally plop a whole ribeye steak on top of garlic fried rice. Perfectly cooked medium rare and easily the best steak fried rice I've had in a while. The rice was super garlicky and flavorful, and even more delicious after mixing it with the soy marinated egg yolk. ＊Matcha Honey Toast $15 ** MUST TRY! Extra thick shokupan, crunchy and buttery outside, soft and fluffy inside, with matcha ice cream melting into it and oats for a nice crunch. I cleaned the plate and would happily order this again. ＊Gyutan $16 * The beef tongue was so tender with a perfect char, and the yuzu pepper on the side made it even better. ＊Trio Pearl Crudo $22 Lightly seasoned and clean-tasting, letting the natural sweetness of scallop and uni shine. ＊Toridori $22 The sushi however didn't really stand out to me, so I'd probably skip it next time. read more

The ramen was pretty flavorful for a lighter broth, corn looked great, the yuzu Caesar was solid, I have no complaints.

We came to Manhatto on a Saturday at 12pm when it opens and there were 2 people in line. The restaurant started filling up to 80% after about 30min, and for good reason. We ordered: Trio Pearl Crudo ($22) - This appetizer comes with 3 slices of a piece of Hokkaido scallop on 2 shells, topped with one piece of uni, and 4 salmon roe balls for reach slice. The yuzu mignonette sauce paired perfectly with natural sweetness and freshness of the seafood. I really enjoyed this, but it's a little small. Uni Mentai Pasta ($29) - This entrée includes uni, snow crab, small salmon roe, spaghetti, in a creamy code-roe sauce. Flavor is so umami, creamy but not heavy, with a bit of spice and sweetness. This is the best mentai pasta I've ever had so far, but I wish the portion size was bigger! Ribeye Fried Rice ($49) - Oddly enough I prefer the fried rice over the steak. Although the steak was cooked to a good medium rare, it was unseasoned so I was not a fan. I really could not taste any miso butter. The rice on the other hand had a great savory garlic flavor topped with more garlic crisps without it being overpowering. There was an additional flavor with the saffron and the soy marinated egg yolk topping. This dish was a good size. I would like to come back to try the Kamo Miso Pasta next time. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We were one of the first people to order so the food came out quickly. The décor and atmosphere was modern and clean. There are 2 bathrooms in the back. read more

Manhatto was such a refreshing take on Japanese food. I really enjoyed their Unagi Croissant ($12) for instance. It's not a pairing I would have ever thought of, but it was surprisingly great together. Their Uni Mentai Pasta ($29) was creamy and super tasty. Out of everything, that was definitely my favorite. Their Takoyaki ($11) was great as well. Although I really liked the garlicky fried rice from their Ribeye Fried Rice ($49), I found the ribeye a little tough to chew and not particularly seasoned. The portion of the ribeye does make up a little for the price on that dish though. Aside from the food, the service was good and the waiter was attentive and helpful! read more

I arrived here on a Sunday evening on a snowy day in January looking for a nice place with an ambiance for a reservation for 2. I was surprised to see a restaurant of this caliber with plenty of seating and open spots on a peak crowded month in NYC. Located in Hells Kitchen, there is a bar seating area at the front of the restaurant and then plenty of seats for small parties in the back. Nice dim lighting and nice looking posters decorate the area. The service is nice and accommodating, taking care of our umbrellas as it snowed outside. For most fine dining places with a vibe like this, I would expect meals and entrees to be priced around 30+ dollars. While there are pricey items on the menu I was surprised to see the cost of the chicken Katsu curry to be under 30. Moreover, I thought it was quite well prepared and great quantity to ensure that I was filled when I walked out. My friend ordered a sushi roll, which I did feel was quite pricey especially when it only came out with 4 rolls. Service was quick and food came out within 15 mins. If you are looking for a dimly lit Asian restaurant with date night vibes on a weekend last minute, I would highly recommend this spot, especially considering it to be on the more affordable options. Would be coming back. read more

My husband and I checked out Manhatto for lunch on a Friday around 12:30pm, and we were really impressed. The menu feels upscale and unique, with a thoughtful mix of classic and creative Japanese dishes. The hostess was wonderful and incredibly sweet, which immediately set a great tone. The ambience and décor are modern yet traditional - beautiful, calm, and inviting. Everything we tried was fresh and well-made. We especially loved how many vegetarian options were available. Our favorites were the corn ribs and the vegan sushi roll - both were delicious and memorable. Prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality, and the lunch special was a great value, including soup, salad, and an entrée. Overall, Manhatto is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood, and we will definitely be going back! read more

Manhatto features fusion Japanese food at its best! Every dish we ordered had something unique that elevated it. For a table of 4, we ordered the following: - Sweet potato mortadella - the mortadella made for a very interesting combination of ingredients. The servers advised us to get all of the elements in one bite, and it was a very flavorful bite! - Trio pearl crudo - fresh and a burst of perfect saltiness - Shio cabbage - the sesame oil was very nice and subtle - Ribeye fried rice - ultimate umami - Uni mentai pasta - creamy and delicious, exactly how it sounds - Last samurai roll - I loved the flavor impact of the salt-cured egg yolk on what would otherwise sound like a pretty standard roll. I would absolutely return for these dishes and to try more! Service was good - not consistent in terms of serving or taking empty plates, but it's not a problem, just an observation. The restaurant was clean and relatively spacious. The bathroom was clean and smelled very nice. I made my reservation online. They limit dining time to 90 minutes. It's a great place for a pre-show meal. read more
