    Chicken wing robata
    Jessica Y.

    I was super excited to snag a reservation for the Seirinkan pop-up the week of 2/22-2/28/26. The restaurant is located beneath the Moxy hotel and has a stunning interior. We had to wait about 10-15 minutes after our reservation time to be seated. While the pop-up was fun, the experience was extremely disappointing. The price of the pizzas were increased from $29 to $45 after the first night of the pop-up. There was also a limit to one pizza per two guests, but the couple next to us was able to order two pizzas (perhaps some kind of social influencer?). The way that the waiter spoke and interacted with them was also completely different and much more engaging than the way she interacted with us. I know the first night of the pop-up, the issue was a super long wait time for food. The event was marketed as chef Susumu Kakinuma hand-making each pizza himself which probably explains the long wait. To our surprise, our pizza came out minutes after the order. With the volume of pizzas coming from the kitchen, I highly doubt he was still making each pizza himself. The pizza itself was very good, although really runny so the center of the pizza was quite soggy and difficult to eat. The chicken wing robata was crispy and flavorful, but a bit on the saltier side. Overall, food was fine and it was interesting to try a slightly different style of pizza but completely not worth the price and one of the more disappointing meals I've had in the city. I've also emailed the manager regarding my disappointment in this entire experience. The regular menu looks pretty mediocre and overpriced for what you get.

    Came in for sake-ton and the space was transformed into sake tasting tables with good passed around . I really enjoyed various bites and everything was fresh and matcha cocktail was yummy . I appreciated the rice texture and seasoning of maki and nigiri. The karaage chicken was perfectly done nicely crunchy and piping hot .

    This isn't girlfriend and I favorite spot. The ambiance is very pleasing. The food is very fresh and savory and made with care and love, the drinks are perfect with it being not too strong and not too light with a perfect blend. The service was very nice our server had a big party to handle, so it could be a lil slow at times but so always made sure we were taken care of . Definitely coming back would recommend to everyone for business and date night, even birthdays. 9.5/10

    We had reservations for 6 pm on a Saturday to celebrate our anniversary. Sake No Hana is located downstairs in the Moxy Hotel, and you see immediately that it is a stunning restaurant. Checking in took a few minutes since they open at 6, but I used that time to check in my coat (complimentary) and use the restroom. Upon seating, we were gifted a card acknowledging our anniversary. I was nervous about the service since it seemed like a hit or miss in the reviews, but our server, Michael, was so nice and incredibly helpful, making great suggestions for our dinner. For cocktails, we had the Awayuki icon, Ziggy Basara, Fruits Magazine Volume, and the Gyaru Girl (Spicy Marg), and all were fantastic! For food, we started with the hamachi crudo (10/10) and the spicy tuna tartare (8/10). We also got a salmon avocado roll, which came with this amazing ponzu citrus sauce on the side, and we were obsessed! Probably one of the best rolls I have had. And for entrees, we ordered the wafu carbonara with the wagyu, which was rich and creamy, and the filet mignon covered in this phenomenal garlic sauce. To finish off, we ordered the ube cheesecake for dessert, which I saw had bad reviews, but I personally loved it! And they topped it with a nice happy anniversary chocolate. Overall, we had such a great experience and would definitely come back. Would love to try out their happy hour menu as well.

    Celebrated my nieces birthday last night. This was my first time here. As soon as I walk up, a nice gentlemen greeted us and walked us to the stairs to walk downstairs. When I hit downstairs, I was immediately taken aback by the beautiful ambiance. The bar to my right and the dinner room to my left. The hostess greeted us and walked us to meet our table. It was a packed room. Busy Saturday night. My niece did the prefix and we were a party of 14. Can I tell you they never missed a beat. We had 4 people waiting on us. They got us all drinks right away and they kept them coming. I'm not a drinker and they had several mocktails to choose from. I decided on the Nozeco Spritz. This is what we had. All served family style. OMG! Starters: Smashed 'Mitsukoshi' Cucumber Salad Black Truffle Steak Tartare Black Truffle Spicy Tuna Tartare Chef's Selection of Sushi Meal: Ginza Chicken- foot included Wood Oven Roasted Branzino Filet Mignon Roasted Vegetables Green Vegetable Fried Rice Dessert: Chef's Selection of Assorted Sweets Now you know we had to try the Crown Melon, the King of Melons. I pre ordered it for my niece. It's worth every penny and the table presentation and the taste is priceless. Trust me. The entire group were unanimous with the night. A 10/10 hands down. My niece had 3 bags of leftovers, that's how much food they served. I will be back and check out the pics and videos.

    This restaurant is located in the lower level of the Moxy NYC Lower East Side hotel. The is a very classy restaurant with beautiful decorative Asian lantern lights. The music is there but not disturbing, just perfect level. The young lady tending bar on the first level is very knowledgeable regarding her menu. Sushi served here is very fresh and tasty. Sushi tacos (lobster and tuna) are recommended by me. The service would have to be rated Top notch for level of service and attentiveness. Any needs are taken care of promptly. Cozy and charming setting. It's a yes for me but if you want quality you got to pay quality not quantity prices. ;)

    First and foremost they accommodated us for 11pm dinner reservation which I outright appreciate. We ordered their $65 prefix dinner . I was pleasantly surprised at the number of vegetarian options. The food comes in small portions but the number of dishes are a lot so it's perfect portioning .We also ordered avocado roll which was excellent. The lighting is dim , very romantic vibe . The decor is extremely pleasing visually.

    I wanted to love this place but it is a little chaotic and not super accommodating for people with mobility problems. You have to walk down a flight of stairs like you are waking into a grand ballroom into first the waiting lounge with a small bar. We had to ask and justify why we wanted the elevator, even though it seemed like plenty of people were indeed using them. We were waiting for some friends to come and it wasn't until 45 mins in that the staff finally asked if we wanted to order any drinks or snacks while we waited for our friends. Once we were finally seated, our waiter was wonderful and super helpful - apparently you have to put in all of the dishes in at once so that took us a while for our big group since we were sharing. The food came out - it was generally beautifully plated and interesting - edamame in chili oil was actually one of the best things on the menu, the creamy noodles were pretty good. Sushi was decent. Drinks were ok but not very memorable. A few waiters came to our table, confused and in disarray, asking if we orders such and such, as they apparently weren't sure what tables their food belonged at - that was pretty awkward especially since it happened several times.

    A friend and I decided to line up before they opened for the bar special. Food was delicious. Drinks were strong! Not pictured were other plates. Service was quick and attentive. Ambiance is trendy and the decor is beautiful. I would definitely come back.

    Salmon Avocado Roll, salm temaki, salmon nigiri
    Simrah A.

    It's a great elevated vibe for a nicer dining experience All the food was delicious! We got the salmon sushi roll, salmon temaki, and salmon nigiri- a lot of salmon lol. The fish tasted fresh and it was all pretty good. The star of the show was the Wafu Enara though. It's a truffle uni udon with wagyu beef- sooo good!! This was super flavorful and filling. The wagyu was also made really nicely. For dessert, we got the strawberry parfait which was also reallyyyy good!!! It's described as vanilla ice cream with strawberry crunch, which seemed pretty simple and plain. We initially ordered it because it's popular and for its presentation, but we were all so glad we got it. It was so delicious and tasted unique compared to other ice cream. The cream on top was really good and uniquely sweet, and the ice cream was really good with the frozen strawberries on the side, which is where the crunch comes from The ambiance was really nice, and our server was friendly and helpful. The only thing was it was pretty pricey, but it is part of the Tao group so it makes sense ig. That's just how nicer restaurants are so we were somewhat prepared for that.

    I've been wanting to come here for a while and I'm glad I finally did. This place definitely lived up to my expectations and was the perfect birthday dinner with my girls. Everything from the gorgeous atmosphere with the spiral staircase, the service, and food were phenomenal. Some stand out dishes were the spicy tuna tartare, A5 wagyu roll, king crab roll, A5 miyazaki tenderloin, and the chocolate layered crepe cake. You truly can't go wrong with your dining experience here, I look forward to coming back!

    Sake No Hana is home to a crazy happy hour deal. From 6-9pm, you can get a cocktail, an appetizer, and an entree for only $20! This is amazing considering how upscale this restaurant is. The lychee spritz is a very creative sweet drink with popping boba, and I also enjoyed the yuzu margarita. The nagoya chicken wing has a slightly sweet taste and is delicious. The hiroshima hand roll changes but the one we had was so good. The toro tartare comes with caviar, and the tuna was so fresh. The wagyu katsu sando was amazing, my favorite! The staff are extremely friendly. There are very limited happy hour seats, so be sure to snag a reservation or show up right at 6pm. Everything tasted delicious, but the portions are extremely small. Come for the upscale ambiance, not necessarily to get full haha.

There was a table opening 30 minutes out. Would recommend having one, but you can definitely try walking in. First come first serve basis Overall, solid spot for great tasting food. Great for smaller parties of 2, but expect it to be tight with spacing

Even before the food arrives, the restaurant leaves a strong impression with its stunning Japanese-inspired interior. The space is beautifully designed, blending warmth and elegance in a way that feels both inviting and refined. From the soft lighting to the natural wood accents and thoughtfully arranged decor, everything about the atmosphere feels intentional. It captures the intimate charm of a traditional izakaya while still feeling modern and stylish, making it a wonderful setting for anything from a casual dinner to a more special night out. The food more than lived up to the beauty of the space. One of the first highlights was the salmon onigiri, a dish that proved how satisfying simplicity can be when it is done well. The rice was soft, fresh, and perfectly formed, holding together without feeling too compact, while the salmon added a savory richness that made each bite feel comforting and flavorful. It was balanced, delicate, and deeply satisfying in a way that made it memorable despite its simplicity. The seared salmon salad was another standout. The salmon itself was beautifully prepared, with a lightly seared exterior that gave it a subtle crispness, while the inside remained tender, buttery, and smooth. That contrast in texture made the dish especially enjoyable. Paired with the freshness of the salad, it felt light and refreshing, yet still substantial enough to feel like more than just a side dish. It was a dish that managed to feel both clean and indulgent at the same time. The grilled squid was particularly impressive and easily one of the most memorable items of the meal. Squid can often be difficult to get right, as it can become rubbery or overly chewy if even slightly overcooked, but that was absolutely not the case here. The texture was spectacular--tender, delicate, and pleasantly springy without any toughness. Each bite had a light smokiness from the grill that added depth, while the squid itself retained its natural sweetness. It was expertly prepared and showcased a level of precision that really stood out. For the main courses, both the Tonkatsu Ramen and the Black Pepper Ramen delivered distinct experiences, each with its own appeal. The Tonkatsu Ramen was deeply comforting and satisfying, with a broth that had a rich, velvety texture and a full-bodied depth that coated the palate beautifully. It felt smooth, hearty, and luxurious without being too heavy. The noodles had an ideal texture as well--firm enough to provide a satisfying bite, yet soft enough to soak up the broth and integrate perfectly into the dish. Altogether, it was a bowl that felt warming, balanced, and incredibly comforting. The Black Pepper Ramen, on the other hand, brought a bolder and more assertive flavor profile. The broth had a smooth, glossy texture, and the noodles again had a pleasing chew that gave the dish structure and substance. The black pepper added an unmistakable warmth and aromatic intensity that made the ramen stand out immediately. It was flavorful and memorable, though the pepper was slightly overwhelming at times. A bit less black pepper would have allowed the other flavors in the broth to come through more clearly and created a more balanced bowl. Even so, the ramen was still enjoyable, especially for those who appreciate strong, pepper-forward flavors. Overall, Izakaya Fuku is a restaurant that succeeds on every level. The stunning Japanese interior creates an atmosphere that feels both immersive and elegant, while the food reflects a real attention to detail in both flavor and texture. From the comforting salmon onigiri, to the fresh and beautifully prepared seared salmon salad, to the expertly grilled squid with its exceptional texture, and finally the rich and satisfying ramen dishes, every part of the meal felt carefully executed. It is a place that offers not just excellent food, but a complete dining experience, and it is well worth visiting for anyone looking for standout Japanese cuisine in New York.

It's not especially big, so you may have a bit of a wait if you frequent right at lunch or in the evening but whatever amount of time you have to wait it will be well worth it. Service is top tier but you come for the food. They have a varied menu with a lot of options so if you're bringing a buddy that isn't up for Katsu, they'll have plenty to choose from. The Katsu is the star and I think what sets this place apart is that they offer Berkshire pork katsu as an option. Arguably some of the best pork, it's great to have the option if you're looking to heighten the experience. I love their pork katsu and go nuts over the chicken katsu curry. It's super crispy, slightly greasy but never off-putting. And it's served with the most delicate and delicious cabbage slaw. I could eat a mountain of this it's so good. Highly recommended.

It came with cabbage (with a sesame ginger type dressing), daikon radish (with some type of sauce on top), and the standard sauce for the tonkatsu, along with some crushed sesame seed and hot mustard. I'd have to say...the tonkatsu was quite good....not quite as sublime as my favorite tonkatsu place in Tokyo...but still, very, very good. The dish also came with a bowl of miso soup (good, and not overly salty) and a bowl of white rice, which I considered the most disappointing part of the meal. The rice seemed a bit dried out...not moist.... All in all, an excellent meal. I'd definitely come back.

    Yakitori Totto has been around for ages, and I've visited this location in person a few times…read morethough it's been a while! Their location is a little hidden, it's on the second floor above Soba Noodle Azuma on 55th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues, closer to 8th. You have to go up a stairwell on the side. Getting to the food, their focus is on meat, seafood and vegetable skewers though they also have a variety of appetizers, rice bowls and noodles, and dessert. The meats and veggies are grilled over charcoal while basted with "tare", a house-made sauce that adds a level of umami to the caramelized grill flavors. Recently I got a handful of skewers for takeout, including: - Ebi (shrimp) $8 x 2: the shrimp were cooked just right, tender and juicy, yum! - Hotate Eringi (scallop and oyster mushrooms) $8 x 2: the textures of the oyster mushrooms and scallop pieces complemented each other, and were kinda similar. Another tasty offering. - Negi pon (pork belly with scallions) $7: I'm not a huge fan of pork belly in general, though they grilled it well here and chopped scallions added a little spicy tickle. While not the cheapest for skewers that you can find, (and inflation hasn't helped,) their flavors are authentic and their quality and consistency is key here. I'm glad it's still here since there seems to be fewer and fewer good yakitori spots in Manhattan these days. They used to have another location in the city though I believe this closed pre-pandemic, however from their website they now have another location in Boston. This was also the sister restaurant to Ramen Totto which had four locations at one point though all have shuttered as well. Hope this location stays around for a long time!
