Chirashi bowl
Caro J.

I still completely love this place and its solid $30 chirashi bowls! Sapps does sushi so well here. Also check out the older version of this review, my opinions still stand. Lunch specials look good, they are still about ~$20. Would recommend the sushi lunch specials over the other options. They got a great location here with plenty of seating in the back of the restaurant, a bar area in front, and a tiny bit of outdoor seating, which was lovely on a good early summer's day. Service is pretty quick and everyone is nice. Not a spot I'd travel far to, but one of my favorite quiet local spots.

Sushi Dinner
Alianna P.

This restaurant is my go to sushi spot in Manhattan. As soon as you walk in the servers are welcoming and sit you down right away even if you don't have a reservation. Quick and efficient service especially on a lunch break. The ambiance is quiet and such a nice setting, the art on the wall is eye-catching. The food is ALWAYS fresh and the sushi melts in your mouth. Prices are reasonable considering it is downtown. Great overall.

Hot sake HH
Francisca B.

Very comfortable restaurant and bar. I thought it would be a small restaurant but it's pretty big restaurant. We went for quick happy hour. They have decent price for HH drinks. Since it was so cold outside we went for hot sake and tried their spicy edamame and sashimi. We would come back again to try their ramen

Philadelphia rolls, salmon roll and vegetarian rolls.

TREMENDOUS lunch dishes!! I had 3 rolls plus a salad and I had to take leftovers home. My friend had the salmon teriyaki bento box which came also came with chicken, white rice, miso soup and a salad. Everything was delicious and the staff was very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back!

Miso soup, Salmon Bento Box
Aparna R.

The service was quick, and the staff were attentive. The restaurant was much larger than I expected and fairly quiet around lunchtime on the weekday we visited. I ordered a salmon teriyaki bento box. The teriyaki sauce hadn't quite soaked into the fish, so the piece that I got wasn't very flavorful, but I didn't mind solely because it was salmon (and I don't mind the taste of plain salmon). The miso soup, salad, and rice were tasty, and chicken was great, though a bit soft. The portion sizes are on the smaller end, which ended up being perfect for me that day. The food here was decent; I may come here again for a quick lunch, but it's not the kind of restaurant I would recommend to people who are visiting and looking for stand-out dining experiences.

I stopped by for happy hour one Friday night. Staff was friendly. They had a lot of returning customers. I would definitely come again if I was in the area. The takoyaki was delicious and I would order the yuzu cocktail again. Skip the California roll.

Karaage (Japanese style fried chicken)
Fred L.

My Sister and I went to Sapps for dinner and liked it so much that we went back a few weeks later. The interior is very nice with lots of seating. Both times we went we had no issues with being seated quickly. . From our two experience we had the Sashimi Dinner, Firecracker (Yellowtail topped with yellowtail Jalapeno, Seaweed Salad, Yellowtail Serrano, Karaage (Japanese style fried chicken), Salmon Skin Salad, The Thunder Dome (Cubed tuna or salmon, wrapped with avocado and topped with spicy mayo, eel sauce, and tobiko), and the Matcha Churro for dessert. The sashimi was some of the best I have ever had. It was extremely fresh, flavorful, great quality, and the portions were larger than I expected. All of the dishes were great. The Thunder Dome was very unique and I have not seen (or tasted) anything like it before. The wait staff was really attentive and took great care of us. My sister and I are huge sushi fans and this place ranks near the top of the places we have been. We had two awesome experiences and would definitely come back when we are back in the area.

Spicy Miso Ramen
Jamie G.

This is a great lunch location in terms of proximity to Columbia campus and other schools nearby. The space is big with lots of seating and a cool Japanese anime-inspired interior. I've been here a few times for lunch and had a good experience with fast service. It's definitely a good sit down place to have lunch with someone and still be out in less than an hour. Previously, I've ordered the donburi and rice dishes and it's been satisfying. Meat portions are not that much, but it's good enough for lunch. Also tried bento boxes and some sushi rolls and they were good enough for lunch as well. The appetizer options are pretty good. Kara age is chunky and goes well with the spicy mayo sauce. Takoyaki is also not too bad, though can be a little oily. This most recent time I came, I decided to try something else on the menu. WARNING: DO NOT COME FOR RAMEN!! The spicy miso ramen was such a disappointment and did not taste like a Japanese ramen at all. The broth tasted weird and the spice seemed more like a char than any kind of pepper. There was also no chashu pork slices but it came with ground pork and a grilled hot dog. There was a few pieces of bamboo shoots and a load of bean sprouts and cabbage. The hot dog's charred flavor is probably what seeped into the broth that made it taste unpleasant. Overall, it was not enjoyable to eat and absolutely not worth the price they charge for it. Probably one of the worst ramen dishes I've had in the city.

"Things to Consider":…read more 1. Food - fine if you want to pay hotel prices for food that you can get at a New Jersey or Long Island mall at much lower prices. Paper plates, plastic cutlery and pita chips warmed and served in the bags they came in. 2. Service - non-existent. No staff members acknowledge your arrival. You either have to wave madly or go to the bar and ask for a drink. The staff is always closing early with the staff excuse that "we are not busy" yet guests are routinely turned away. The staff is not happy and begrudge being there. DO NOT believe in the hours posted on the website. There is a built-in clientele but the staff can't wait to close it down. I don't know what is wrong with management but they have lost the plot. 3. Ambience - The space could be so much better than it is. The lighting is okay but the seating in the bar area is not appropriate. The adjoining cafe has a better feeling. Ambience has a lot to do with making guests feel welcome - this staff doesn't understand the meaning of hospitality but they should not be blamed. It is clear they have no training and are not held to any standard. If you want to go to a great space, go to the Wallace Hotel around the corner (I am NOT affiliated with them... have just gone there many times). It is so sad to see a place with such potential be so poorly run, especially as they have such little competition. The Arthouse Bar has the potential to be THE leading cocktail/music/late-night bar on the Upper West Side.

The server appeared quickly, and she cheerfully took my order for a glass of Chablis (oops, sorry, no Chablis tonight) and Tuna Nori Tartare. The Italian wine -- my second choice -- was more than suitable. So far, a pleasant experience. The Nori arrived promptly, with four bite-size pieces beautifully presented on a small plate. I popped the first Nori into my mouth and ... OMG ... I'm hardly exaggerating when I say it's one of the worst things I've ever tasted! I hate to complain, and so I didn't. Instead, I wrapped the remaining pieces in a tissue and disposed of them in the restroom bin. I returned to my table and ordered the Truffle Potato Croquettes instead. Not amazing, but light years better than the tartare! At this point I nearly departed, but the jazz trio were setting up and I was interested in having a listen. I ordered a second glass of wine, the other Italian choice on the menu, which was quite lovely. The musicians launched into their first number at 7pm sharp and they were world class! Outstanding musicians. I mean, really outstanding! This more than made up for any culinary shortcomings earlier in the evening. All of this to say, I'd return to The Wallace for the music, but not for the food! :-)

While I was waiting for a table, multiple staff members checked in on me and even offered a drink, which made me feel genuinely taken care of before I even sat down. Once seated, that level of attentiveness didn't miss a beat. The team was warm, welcoming, and consistently made sure everything was just right without being overbearing. We ordered the Hot Hunny pizza and the Burrizza--both completely different but equally incredible. The flavors were unique, well-balanced, and honestly just exquisite. The ambiance tied everything together perfectly--super cozy, inviting, and with a cute, stylish vibe that makes you want to stay a while. Safe to say, I've found a new go-to spot in the city. Next time though, I'm definitely making a reservation!

I forget the name of our server, but she was attentive and warm, making the entire experience very enjoyable. I wanted to love the food, but I just liked it, not bad by any means, but just standard. I may give this place a try again soon again. They have a special early dinner menu that works around the Lincoln center performances, may try place again when I come to another show. Bonus tip if you are driving in you can park for free right on the street by Rampoldi after 7:00 pm ;)

A Must-Visit NYC Gem: Incredible Music, Food, and Energy! If…read moreyou want the ultimate New York City night out, Prohibition is the place to be! We had an absolute blast from the moment we stepped inside. The whole experience--from the warm welcome at the door to the high-energy live music--was 10/10. The Food Experience: Truly Next Level The food here isn't just "bar snacks"--it's a full-on culinary experience. We tried several dishes and honestly, every single one was a hit: * Grandma's Sunday Sauce: This was the star of the show. It's pure comfort in a bowl and tastes like it's been simmering for days. * The Bacon: You can't go wrong here. It's perfectly prepared, smoky, and dangerously addictive. * The Burrata: So fresh and creamy--the perfect way to start the meal. * Crispy Shrimp: These had the perfect crunch and were packed with flavor. The Vibes & Service The host set the tone right away with a great welcome, and the service throughout the night was seamless. It's rare to find a spot that balances a sophisticated "speakeasy" atmosphere with such friendly, attentive staff. And of course, the music! The live band was electric and kept the energy high all night long. The "Roaring 20s" vibe is so well-done--it feels intimate but exciting at the same time. Final Verdict I would definitely suggest Prohibition to everyone! Whether you're a local or just visiting the city, this is the spot for great food, amazing service, and a vibe you won't find anywhere else. We'll definitely be back for more!
