FIREEE love this place. Fav place for unagi don. Prices are so good for the quality
– Unagi don: 11/10, best unagi don, so tender, and everything is really flavorful. The egg was yummy too
– Tuna tataki: 9/10, usually not the biggest fan of tuna or sashimi-like dishes, but this was yummy

I’d been wanting to try Japanese beef curry for months, and since I was on vacation in Manhattan, this restaurant popped up on the map and it was absolutely fantastic. The service was incredibly fast, the food was absolutely delicious, the prices were great, and the place is lovely. I’m already looking forward to my next trip to Manhattan so I can visit them again.

Major dining pet peeve: Restaurants that are stingy with AC on hot summer days. Come on, we all have electric bills to pay, and we all know how high they get from May to Sept. But no one wants to sweat like they’re doing HIIT while trying to enjoy a plate of hot food. Oooo, weak pee in my gnocchi….tasty.
Benemon is another stingy-with-AC restaurant. On a sweltering day with 251,000% humidity, the air conditioner was barely on, the fan was non-existent, and perhaps most insulting of all, they served us tepid, room temperature water. We had to ask for ice, which they (begrudgingly) gave in small cubes that melted instantly.
The food was fine, but not worth the suffering.
We started with Beef Carpaccio that was a bit too cooked for my liking, and Tuna Tataki likely drowned a painful death in the too-sweet miso-nut sauce. The Soft Shell Crab was pretty good, but I could’ve used more than six tiny legs. My Katsu Curry featured cute, sausage-shaped cutlets, but most of the dish was just sticky rice and gravy that I could’ve made myself.
In attempt to avoid feeling feverish, I also got Yuzu Shiso Spritzer to wash everything down. It was fine, but if I hadn’t desperately needed more ice than the staff wanted to give, I wouldn’t have bothered ordering this.
Not worth the sweat or the schlep.

Food was kinda hit or miss. The edamame, adegashi tofu, and soft shelled crab was good. The tuna takai pieces were small and over-sauced and looked nothing like the photos online. Service was good and the restaurant is located in a nice cozy spot.

Terrible food, very surprised by this. Service was good though. I got the katsu and they just douse the overcooked meat in mayo and other sauces. Rice not seasoned. App not impressive and also drowning in sauce. Drinks not memorable. I only came by word of mouth. Please don’t spend money here.

Nice cozy Japanese restaurant with great service. The matcha cocktail and tuna tataki were delicious! Also tried the chicken and veggie donburi which were good, but not mindblowing. Would be curious to try the other menu items which may be better.

This a cute restaurant. Came on a Wednesday night and it was quite quiet. The appetizers were all really delicious. We ordered the pork belly , tuna tataki, and soft shell crab (this was my favourite). For mains we had the Katsu and una tama don (so much umamami and was creamy). The prices were very reasonable! We each got a different cocktail (high balls) and they were not bad. The staff was really attentive and was very accommodating with allergies. Would definitely come back again.

Wow ,what a cute little place ! Came here on a Spring Day with a friend. The exterior and interior of the restaurant are very charming looking like you are in Japan. They call this Japanese comfort food and I guess it’s true. Get the Anchovy Fried Potatoes appetizer. Tasty and unexpected with Parmesan cheese . The Gobo sticks are earthy but I like trying something different and we enjoyed them . Tempura is crispy and good. The main star of the menu are rice bowls .My friend got the Oyako Don dark meat chicken and really enjoyed it. I got the eel and egg Una Tama Don and it was so delicious and satisfying. There’s no dessert unfortunately but service is really fantastic. Chill soundtrack too. Also got a glass of the Yume No Kaori sake for $14 , it was bright and fresh just like the menu says. Perfect for the meal. Also don’t be afraid to order the sake , it’s not too strong and tastes great . My friend also had a draft Sapporo beer . Such a relaxing meal. Definitely recommended.

I came here for dinner last week with my boyfriend, it wasn’t busy since we came right when they opened. Servers were friendly and attentive. Enjoyed the oyako don, rice was a little more wet than I usually enjoy but that is probably just how the dish is- since there’s eggs and other stuff in it as well. My boyfriend loves fish so he enjoyed the tuna more than me. The steak was so good though, cooked perfectly and the sauce was lovely. Serving sizes are small for the price but this is how NYC is… loved the food, everything was great! The indoor atmosphere was chill and relaxing 🙂

Waiter seated us 5 minutes before the kitchen closed, and our food still came out quick and tasty. In my opinion, this is the most bang for your buck unagi in manhattan. For 29 dollars, you get a large portion with a light char. Great texture and flavor.
Get an entree plus a small plate or you will be hungry.
