    Good service, easy to read menu (not QR code), uniquely presented fried soft shell crab, interesting Godzilla rolls! Huge shoyu ramen. Love their lanterns and decor. You can see sashimi chefs at work behind the counter. Great location at Columbus Circle.

    Great delivery experience! I was able to track the delivery person via phone and met them in my lobby for a seamless handoff. Sushi was so fresh and well made. Also not that expensive! I love New York and I love sushi

    Damo Ramen - Tonkotsu
    Kiana F.

    If you're ever near Central Park and want a great meal, Sushi Damo is your restaurant. The restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere with the feeling of being in Japan! The staff were friendly and service was fast. The Tonkotsu Ramen was delicious. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

    The beau and I stopped in here for their happy hour which is from 4-7. They have a very generous food offering and the cocktails were good and strong. We chose several items from their "tapas" section and were quite pleased with our selections. The food came out fast and hot. The flavors were great and the heat on the chicken was perfect for me. The staff is friendly and gracious. My only negative is the bar isn't deep enough so your knees are in awkward positions. Beware but enjoy! We will be back.

    Overpriced, yes, but also the only decent sushi spot in the immediate area. The regular rolls like Salmon Avocado are small, the special rolls like the Golden Roll are bigger, and the Chirashi is remarkably huge. I don't know who decides portion sizes, but they might need a magnifying glass... Also, skip the Strawberry Lemonade. It's made with artificial syrup and tastes like thrown up Kool-Aid.

    Tempura Roll and spicy tuna
    Bill T.

    Met some friends for dinner here and had a nice time. Service was efficient and prices were pretty good. I had the rock shrimp tempura as an appetizer and enjoyed it. My spicy tuna roll was great and the Sakura roll was great...actually I could have had just that and been full. They have Sapporo beer on tap. I'll definitely return.

    We decided that we wanted something different for Thanksgiving dinner and decided on sushi, after calling around sushi damo picked up and we made our way there for dinner. The staff was very friendly! We never had an empty glass of water or plates on the table. I thought the inside was great, and they had a wall of trees, also great music! I decided to have a French 75 to drink that was light and refreshing. To eat we shared pork guizoa that was savory! For sushi I had a rainbow roll, the Hell's Kitchen roll, and salom roe. It was fresh and so good! Loved this decision for thanksgiving dinner 23!

    Our visit started off a bit shaky as my family and I were interested in trying Sushi Damo during happy hour. Unfortunately, happy hour is restricted to the bar and with two little ones, it isn't necessarily appropriate ( I mean I don't care, but most places do)...anyways, upon learning of our intent, the hostess and manager were extremely quick to move us towards the bar and allow us to partake in happy hour...and boy did we ever! With a manager that couldn't be nicer, more attentive and wonderful with our girls, to the food being outrageously amazing (especially the shishito peppers...I mean, absolutely the best I have ever had, and I've had a lot), I cannot recommend Sushi Damo more! The seating was comfortable with wonderful plating and ambiance and every dish that came out was on point! 100% our new favorite Japanese spot in NYC! Thank you for such a wonderful time. We will not soon forget our 10th Anniversary dinner!

    Solid sushi restaurant and my go to in the neighborhood. They recently added a ramen menu. They have a pretty extensive drink menu as well. Often busy, but service is mostly prompt and attentive. The Cori Cori is underrated as an appetizer, garlicky, sliced mushrooms over steamed broccoli. Fish offerings are fresh. Other appetizers I've had, including the agedashi tofu and sesame spinach are on point.

    Pretty decent spot. Food and service were top notch, and I definitely would return in the future if I'm in the area. The price is more or less in line with other restaurants in the area. Speaking of service, I visited the restaurant with diluted eyes after an optometrist appt, and my waitress was kind enough to read certain portions of the menu to me.

    Spicy tuna roll
    Abby R.

    We stumbled upon this spot while visiting the city and we loved it! Great, lively atmosphere and our waiter was really funny & friendly. We split a bunch of apps and then got two rolls, and it was the perfect light dinner for my family of three. My favorite thing by far was the spicy yellowtail sashimi - so fresh & the fish eggs of top added texture to each bite. We had the beef gyoza and the pork gyoza, and all preferred the pork. Shishito peppers were good if you don't like them fried like me. The rolls were great basics. Only thing we didn't care for was the soft shell crab, but i think that was more of a palate preference than it not being well-made/good quality. Overall, we really enjoyed this spot and were very pleased by the quality of fish.

    Mochi Green Tea ice cream
    Jason M.

    Grade A sushi. I had an amazing time. The staff was very professional and the sushi was fabulous, and reasonably priced. The mochi green tea ice cream is so good. It's very unique. Unlike regular ice cream, it's more like a dumpling with ice cream inside.

    a quick meal in Columbus Circle before our movie at Lincoln Square. the place was pretty empty on a Saturday afternoon and we were quickly seated near the window. i got the roll combo (california, shrimp tempura, eel cucumber roll) and chose the salad to go with them. the rolls were all quite good, only that the rice seemed a tad too wet but thankfully not mushy. service was good and we had no complaints. a good spot for a quick lunch when you're in the area.

    I am a sucker for delicious Katsu and you'll struggle to find better than Katsu-Hama. Katsu-Hama…read morehas a quaint, Japanese vibe in a small but comfortable dining area. 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.

    This place is a bit hard to spot, but it's on the same side of the street as the sorta famous (50…read moreyears +) Phil's Stationery. Katsu-Hama is about two doors to the Left of Phil's, and has minimal, very discreet signage. I got some tonkatsu...I forget the exact type, but it was essentially the most fatty of the tonkatsu offered. 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.

The creamy kimchi udon was ok. It didn't feel like one dish, but tasted good. The una don was great. Good sauce and blend of supporting veggies to enhance the taste. Service was super quick. Everything was rapid fire: order taken, food comes out quick, water gets replinished before asking, plates are taken the moment they are finished, and check comes immediately after asking for it. Interior was cramped and loud. Really fitting as many tables as they can in the space. I saw others mentioning to make reservations. I went without one and got lucky. 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

Many of the clientele are Japanese so we knew we were at an authentic place. We got: - Fried oysters: the batter was light and crispy and oysters piping hot - Vinegared Mackerel w/ Ponzu Sauce: fresh & tangy - Intestines Hotpot: comforting & light despite the fattiness of the intestines - Creamed Mentai Udon: they split it in 2 small bowls for us since we were sharing. Udon had a nice bouncy chew and sauce was not heavy We also got a bottle of sake, and they poured it in a beautiful sake decanter to keep it cold. First time seeing cold sake presented this way which was very cool. We tried Suntory draft beer since that was the only draft they had, which was odd since most Japanese places carry Asahi/Sapporo, definitely not as light as the other two beers I'm used to. Even though I was stuffed by the end, I didn't feel lethargic, everything felt light without compromising flavor. Service was attentive although our udon came at the very end, we thought they had forgot about it.

    There are a few restaurants in NYC that make you feel like you are stepping into a Japan portal,…read moreand Okatte Tanto is no doubt one of those. As you step into the restaurant, you immediately feel a sense of formality and strictness. It's also very quiet in the restaurant, and friendly to solo diners, adding on more to the Japan-esque feel. The food is high quality here, but the portions are small, and it is pricey. I would budget to spend around $100 a person here after tip and tax, if you ignore the prices on the menu and try a variety of things. The tuna from the bone is the most famous dish here, but I was not able to get it as they sell out very fast. But I tried the sashimi and it was high quality -- just that it was not enough food for me. But that makes it more in line with portions back in Japan. They have an extensive sake list and they also have the casual cocktail options like lemon drops you would find in Tokyo. The atmosphere really transports you straight into Japan if that is something you are looking for. Expect to pay a premium for small-ish portions, but at the same time very well-made and authentic food.
