First, its located off Columbus Ave steps from the corner of a quaint and quiet residential W 82nd St. There are 4 large steps out front, so be mindful if you or a member of your party has mobility issues. The steps feel a bit taller than traditional height but these buildings are over 100 years old so just be mindful when walking. They are navigatable with a cane and someone to assist, as we did for a member of our party. The interior of this location is beautiful. There is a bar area at the front and large hibachi seating just beyond to accommodate large groups. The staff are friendly, professional and personable, with our chef providing his spin on the usual hibachi chef performances. Aside from the standard onion volcano, sake spray, food toss and egg catch trick, our chef did a few gags I'd never seen performed at any hibachi place we've visited. The food was good and the service was great. The lobster tail and scallops I ordered were delicious. The surprise ringing of the gong and ice cream with sparklers was a nice surprise for the birthday girl! This is our 2nd visit to this location and we will be back

The chefs were so funny and entertaining - they seem to love their job which made it so enjoyable! They also had a fun birthday celebration for one of the people in our party, complete with a gong, sparklers, and ice cream. We only got hibachi, which came with vegetables, protein, and an appetizer. I was disappointed that it did not come with noodles or fried rice like some other spots include, you needed to pay $6 extra which was steep for the amount of rice you got. The noodle portion, however, was very generous. The appetizers were also quite small, with options for salad, soup, tofu, and/or two potstickers. Food overall was well seasoned. I would return if in the area.

My husband and I came here on an evening not as cold as tonight's forecast but chilly nonetheless, and Meijin really hit the spot. To start off, we ordered the fried chicken. It was wonderfully crunchy on the outside, succulent on the inside. I was pleased to see that they used thigh meat - the best cut. The chicken came with a side of spicy mayo and this spice blend that added a nice umami mushroom flavor to each bite. For my main dish, I ordered the Okinawa ramen, a type of creamy broth topped with slivers of pork. It was wonderful. Rich. Cozy. Everything I craved on a cold night. The ramen noodles had the perfect chew, an indication that they were made fresh. This week, as temperatures reach its lowest of the season, step into Meijin for a bowl of hot soup.

I ordered the, I think, chicken topped ramen. It was decent but lacked a bit of flavor. The chicken was decent but it was just chicken, nothing crazy done to it.

I am raising my rating to five stars because of the quality of the food, which is very good, and the three stars was simply because the issue was about the amount of condiments provided. Hopefully this will be resolved going forward. Thank you, YunTang.

My favorites were the crispy rice volcano with spicy tuna and spicy salmon tartar and the upper east side roll. Generous portions and fresh. My least favorites were the salmon tuna rollover roll and the citrus salmon carpaccio, it was a little dry. The chilean sea bass with black bean sauce was good, but I could have had the sauce on the side, it was a bit much. For dessert, the raspberry mousse cake was very tasty. Overall, good spot to check out for reasonable eats.

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.

In terms of flavor, it's very much like "that's it??", pretty basic but wouldn't standout as good.

The sashimi wasn't amazing but again good enough for the price. Service was wonderful - super quick and easy. Ambience is casual the kind of place you can show up in a sweatshirt or a button down and fit in either way. Overall, I'll definitely be back - a new neighborhood go to.
