Was not really a fan of this restaurant. They are much more about the vibe and ambiance than the food. We went for lunch and there was nobody there so it was quiet for us. But the pricing was quite expensive. I got the spicy tuna roll which came with 5 pieces. It was mostly filled with rice and was topped with a little bit of sushi, not enough for me. the potato salad tasted a little fishy for my taste as well. I don't eat that much but I was not full with this meal. If you enjoy good vibes and picturesque presentation, I recommend going at night for the full experience. Our server was super sweet and cute, but was wearing sleeves that were getting all over the table when they reached over and it made it hard for them to serve everything.

WORST SUSHI I'VE EVER HAD!! tldr; it feels like this place is run by white people FOR white people, WITHOUT any regard for actual japanese culture. this place should cease to exist unless management/ownership is improved or changed. the entire time we were in there, it seemed as if they were catering to a white family/critiques who's entire list of suggestions was based on how to add to an already overstimulating place rather than actually improve on their food. i.e., "i'm thinking it would be really cool if you added a photobooth where people can use quarters and take pictures!" i didn't want to believe the 1-star reviews at first, but they are so right. the "ambiance" is okay if that's what you're into, but it was honestly overstimulating for me. the second we walked in, something seemed off so we immediately played it safe and just ordered one dish with the intention of leaving asap & getting sushi/the rest of our meal elsewhere. the food: came on a conveyer belt (which is nothing new) that was filled with decorations to the point where the waiter said "sometimes the food looks like the decorations and i don't want you to eat that on accident" ... ??? the food plate itself (as pictured) was unpleasing to the eye and it was clearly falling apart. we couldn't tell what the yellow liquidy "sauce" was but it was definitely weird- on top of the pink rice and pink seaweed/rice paper (?) on the outside. the salmon did not seem to be of good quality. the best part was literally the roe (salmon eggs) on top. overall, this "experience" was not worth the $20 we paid for 6 pieces of "sushi" one word: disgusting

The place was quite cute and the food presented was very well done and appealing. The food was better than expected. It was quiet on a Friday night but heard weekends are much busier. I did enjoy the quiet time as we were able to take in the ambiance and chat during our ladies night.

We were blown away! Honestly, the reviews are not fair. Food was great. Tons of variety, flavorful, and came out of the kitchen quickly on the conveyor belt. Theme was so fun - very lady Gaga. Service was also fast. Honestly, we need to fill this place up more! Would come back!

Mushroom miso

We were definitely here for the ambience and decor. The place is funky chic and weird in a good/fun way, the service was top notch (did I mention the incredible outfits!?) and the food was very good. Initially, I didn't have very high expectations out of this place other than a fun night out with friends, but I will say the quality of the food was great and higher quality than I expected, and we all really enjoyed the dinner here. Can't say the conveyer belt was really my thing since your food could come on the conveyer belt but you have to order it, and what passes through otherwise is decor items... (I feel like you can do SO much more with that belt... and get super creative with the dishes themselves) but I have to say the food was great, the happy hour sake was nice, and though there wasn't an abundance of gluten-free options, there were enough to make a great meal out of. Definitely a fun place to bring groups of people to, will be back!

Seaweed Green Salad

It is a smaller space than I expected (3 tables of 4 and some bar seating). While the kawaii aesthetic is fun and colorful, it definitely gives off a younger vibe. Probably great for a young girl's birthday. There were two hosts dressed up and one server (she was great). We were there for lunch on Sushi Sunday. The seaweed salad was a nice size with different types of seaweed and edible flowers (ours didn't have tomatoes); very pretty and refreshing. I got the wasabi avocado eel roll, which was gorgeous to look and decent enough to eat. My partner got the special salmon roll (I think?, either that or the Toro Taku Roll), which had some really nice crunch from the veggies. The drinks were really good: the Saketini and Boozy Yuzu were both on the lighter side (not the pour) and very refreshing. Overall not a place for gourmands, but decent enough sushi with a playful atmosphere. I'm not crazy about the decor, but probably great for a kid's birthday party. Service and food are decent enough.

The vibe was fun and whimsical, the food was delicious and fresh. The sake was great. We took our 4 year old son who loves sushi and the environment was perfect for him. He stayed entertained the entire time between the decor and the conveyer belt. Service was fantastic as well- they were attentive and thorough. Would recommend if you want sushi with a fun environment. Super kid friendly, but great for adults. Music was great.

Popped in with my friends to check out NYCs first Kawaii Cafe. I've been to their sister restaurant Little Monster Cafe in Tokyo years ago and I loved it. So happy they opened here. It's a very cute, small and colorful sushi spot on Lafayette street. Staff was also dressed Kawaii style. Reservations are full so we didn't get a chance to eat yet but I give it 5 stars on presentation! Can't wait to go back!

I wish I loved this spot but unfortunately they have a lot of kinks to work out as they're still fairly new. Overall the food was good, but felt overpriced for what we ate and for the long wait times. The waitress apologized at every course because they were so far behind. There's a lovely palette of sauces that we didn't get until the 4th course which was very unfortunate. The cocktails were tasty and the bartender was very quick. The inside has fun decor but feels more like a fast casual spot than a restaurant that charges $85 and $95 omakase menus. Also, only the first course came out on the conveyor belt. It's really just for show which was disappointing. It took us 2 hours to get through 6 course (one being dessert). Overall the food was tasty but not worth the money or the wait. It was fun to do once but I will not be returning.

Their presentation takes it to the next level

The service was amazing, the food was great and it's just such a great vibe. Not sure why people are hating, we love coming here and it's definitely alot of fun! I love that they are trying new things and the desserts are out of this world! Give it a shot you will be pleasantly surprised.

85 dollars for an omakase style "conveyer belt" sushi??? Sounds like a scam. - THE EXPERIENCE - I love Sebastian Masuda's restaurants and love the concept but this was poorly executed. Maybe because my experience wasn't as what I expected because his design concept is very over the top but just wanted to re-iterate that I feel like it's only like that if you sit at the sushi counter. We wanted either that or at least a better table but there was only a table by the door. We waited for the hostess to help grab a new table or the sushi counter for us and this table was the only table in the sunlight while everyone was closer towards the back where you feel the experience. Even though she said she was trying her best I felt like there should be no issue asking someone to move 1 seat over for us. Tons of restaurants in New York does this to accommodate experiences and I felt like we waited 30 minutes to sit at the same table we didn't want. We were the only ones in sunlight right next to the door where people were coming in. I felt like if we got the proper experience being near the sushi counter this review would have been higher because I wanted to be at the conveyer belt. As a "conveyer belt" restaurant this isn't really one because nobody received their items through the conveyer belt. - THE FOOD - We got a set of "paint" and the sauces were not bad but personally for me I don't feel like using any while eating sushi so for me it was cute but not really necessary. The macaron sushi idea is cute but the macaron itself was very stale and not an actual macaron. Just a piece of thing that looked like one. It's supposed to be fluffy when biting into it. I should have just picked the fish off and ate it. Our second plate we had an option of salmon or hamachi and we all went with salmon but the salmon was half cooked which I didn't understand??? I thought sashimi is just raw and fresh... I didn't understand why it was half cooked (see photo) Our third plate was with 4 different sushi's and all of them weren't that great except for the one on the left which had fried rice and I thought that one tasted somewhat innovative with the spicy mayo. I just didn't understand why I needed imitation crab for a 85 dollar course meal because I always believed imitation crab was used for cheaper end sushi. I know this is only for looks but the imitation crab piece didn't even look fun or cool. If you go with the concept at least continue it on properly. The next plate was the fried veggie and shrimp which wasn't bad. But I could sense some sarcasm from the waitress about the matcha salt so it sort of left us feeling a little weird throughout the experience. The chirashi parfait wasn't bad but this was the only point in the course where I felt like I'm eating raw fish. And possibly only 3 pieces.... The rest was rice underneath. The dessert course was ok. The ice cream isn't that sweet which is fine and the other two wasn't that memorable but yuzu rice Krispy wasn't bad. - CONCLUSION - We didn't have the best time in this experience and didn't feel that the restaurant gave us a proper conveyer belt sushi experience that was cool and unique. Instead we should have just spent our money at an actual omakase. We wouldn't pay more than 10-20 dollars for what we ate and my suggestion would be to just turn this into a non alcoholic bar with no food because at least that would be cool to look around and maybe you'll receive more customers that way. Nobody wants to pay 85 dollars for mediocre sushi. Because the alcohol content was low according to the waitress because they haven't received a full liquor license yet. Which I appreciated her saying that before we ordered a drink.

So excited to have tried this spot on the day of opening. I was greeted by the host that was dressed very cool, Tokyo style. Despite being fully booked for reservations she was able to squeeze me in at the bar. This place is instagram worthy! They have a conveyor belt displaying art by Sebastian and it even brings out a few dishes and drinks from the menu. The presentation of dishes were stellar and colorful. Some dishes lacked flavor. The dishes looked great but tasted rather simple/plain. The drinks were beautiful, but not boozy. They could have been a little stronger. The service however was absolutely amazing. My server Jandora was awesome . She explained everything to me on the menu in detail. She took my photos and checked back often . She definitely added to making the entire experience awesome. I will say you must got for the experience, geat awesome content and enjoy a dinner art experience.

Great staff and yummy food. Definitely a different feel. Will come back when I visit again.

We got the corn ribs, pork tenderloin katsu, and the mackerel sushi. The corn came out first and omg - this is some of the best corn I have ever tasted.

It was quite a tiny portion but it's nyc lol.

You can add spicy or garlic-based dipping sauces, which change the flavor profile and make it even better. I recommend finishing your *motsu-nabe* with ramen.

It's a bummer I wasn't more hunger or that I didn't have more bucks in my wallet because I wanted all these dishes. And the Chirashi Don, god it looks so beautiful the way that it's arranged in the photos online. I finally decided on the carbonara. And I was drawn to the fact that it was udon based. Now, I've just been living in hawaii these past years so that Japanese twist on an Italian dish that I just love oh so much really brought me back to missing the islands and the Asian spins they had on cuisines.

I should have known when I walked in to a restaurant that was half full. Some of the recipes of old favorites have changed. Most importantly, some of the skewers were tough, dry and over grilled. And everything was presented in the same way, and everything slathered in the same yakitori sauce instead of each dish arriving grilled to perfection and presenting itself as its own particular delight executed from the imagination of a chef who truly cared.
