Shh. This place is a secret…read more Or, so it seems. No website. No listing anywhere. Google it and you find almost no mention other than an announcement months ago in the River Reporter. Walk up to the door and there is only a small sign that lists an email address (sushibar@barveloce.com). No hours. No phone number. Just Tiki 182, "reservations required," and the email address. And an invitation to ring the doorbell. Which I did, although it didn't seem like anyone was there. But as we left, someone came out. They were open and yes, we could be seated. One party was at the bar. They had to be, because the room is all bar. A large bar that wraps around the room and in the center, another bar. The place was empty (at 5:45 PM on a Saturday) except for us, the other party, and three staff. I'll give the bottom line: Top notch sushi and modern Japanese small plates, like you would find in Manhattan--at Manhattan prices. We had two appetizers. The first was a trio of vegetable plates ($14). If I describe them, I don't think it will sound great but it really was. One was okra wasabe, one eggplant and string beans, and one komatsuna (a Japanese green vegetable), all cold and with various marinades.We are not eggplant or okra lovers but we loved this. The second appetizer was goma saba ($16), cured mackerel with sesame sauce. Mackerel is fishy if not expertly prepared and this was perfect. The sauce was flavorful and thick. We had 7 pieces of sushi (nigiri. they don't serve rolls, $37) and a couple of hand roll (temaki, $12 each). Beautifully prepared, extremely fresh, top quality. Service was excellent. The server was new but absolutely knowledgable and clearly loved her new gig. Pricey for upstate, but excellent.

It won't surprise me if you say "Where's a Tiki 182" when you're in Narrowsburg next. It's not…read moresigned, and not particularly obvious as to where it is. Not sure if that's by design, or by chance, but it is. To find Tiki 182, you need to look for the old Narrowsburg Inn, a former hotspot for Trump fans and stolen election conspiracy theorists. Tiki 182 is right next door to Bar Veloce, and it in fact shares the same ownership. Still lost? Look for the Narrowsburg Union and look across the street. Parking is easy thanks to a big lot behind the building. Parking at the union might be a bit iffy at certain times, so you might be mindful of the parking signs there. Not that I've seen a tow truck in Narrowsburg, but one never knows. Tiki 182 seems to present itself as this confused mashup of American interpretive Tiki pop culture mixed with Traditional Japanese cuisine. An odd mix to be sure. The beverage selection leans heavily on a curated sake list with a wide range of options from mass market through to craft junmai dai ginjo variations. Beer choices skew Japanese (shock), and the somewhat unusual to find Orion from Okinawa. Now, the cocktail side of the house is, I guess, where the tiki is. There seem to be 3 or 4 daily cocktails that all lean in to that genre. Over a string of several visits I tried three of the four on offer that weekend. Honestly, stick with beer or sake. These cocktails will be enough to make you question life choices, and if good cocktails really exist because they seem not to at Tiki 182. Nothing like a terrible cocktail for $17. YMMV. For food, it's a collection of raw fish presented as either temaki (hand rolls), maki (rolls) or nigiri. We ate our way through a lot of options here so you don't have to. Are you REALLY needing sushi? Like, that my life can not go on unless I have some salmon or tuna, need? Then stop in. If you're thinking, hey, the restaurant scene in and around Narrowsburg is pretty dope with great chefs and quality ingredients, I'm sure Tiki 182 is in that same space, you probably aren't going to find what you are looking for. While the fish was all fresh, the slices were anemically small for the price. The quality was about on par with fair grocery store sushi. Most fish was a bit lifeless (no pun intended), clearly had been frozen, thawed, frozen, thawed again, and the rice was just bland white rice that had not been seasoned. Tiki 182 is perfectly serviceable if you want a beer, or grab a sake or wine - you'll definitely find some good (but very pricey) options. Looking for cocktails or sushi? I think your money gets you far better quality and value at other businesses aroud town until Tiki 182 can fix their cocktail game and bring in fish that is worthy of the proximity to Manhattan.

Had dinner at Shinjiru Ramen on a Tuesday. It was pretty busy, the restaurant was full and the TVs…read morewere playing videos about ramen spots in Japan. The waitress came by, took our orders, and brought water. For appetizers, we got the bone-in chicken special and the chasu monster roll. I was expecting the bone-in chicken to be a piece of bone in fried chicken coated with panko breadcrumbs. It was more like a chicken meatball coated in panko with a chicken bone shoved into it. It was dry, and i would not order it again. The chasu monster roll was just a maki roll with chasu inside. It was OK. I got the spicy miso chicken karaage ramen for my entree. The broth was not too heavy, or spicy. It was also loaded with karaage. The wavy noodles held the sauce well, i would order this again. I also got to try my wife's shoyu ramen. It was also good. Not a bad place to grab dinner if you're visiting the family resorts in the area.

Ambience - this is a house converted to a restaurant. The dining room felt like we were having a dinner party at a friend's house and they needed to set up some extra tables and chairs. Food - I ordered the braised ribs with fried rice. The ribs were fall off the bone tender and had the right amount of sauce. It was served with fried rice that was a good starch to go with the protein. 4/5 TL/DR - if you are also traveling back to NYC from Binghamton and your stomach is saying "feed me some ribs...".

The tonkatsu was still crispy after driving 20 minutes home. It comes with rice, cabbage, miso soup, katsu sauce, and steamed veg. Would love to have a curry katsu option. The mixed kushiyaki set has the same sides and the skewers have a flavorful sauce that we mixed into the rice. The skewers were a tiny bit over cooked (could have kept cooking more while in the container though). There was chicken, beef, and shrimp (no scallop like online menu said). Beef was surprisingly tender. The staff is always friendly and takeout is pretty quick.
