Reviews
The service was attentive and efficient without being overbearing, which made the whole experience even better. Everything hit exactly how it should. Absolutely worth it and definitely going back.
I’d recommend their edamame and katsu. SO GOOD!!
Only downside, there was no heat or hot water in the bathroom/restaurant.
Started with shrimp tempura—crispy, clean, no nonsense. Miso soup did its job like a professional. Then came the pork katsu. Not the usual curry situation—this one’s dressed in a sweet BBQ sauce and swinging for the fences. Big portion. No regrets.
Final boss move: hot yuzu sake on a freezing NYC night. That’s not a drink, that’s a hug in a cup.
The bill was $200 and they got decent tip.
For context: my girlfriend and I have been regulars at this restaurant for quite some time. We live in the neighborhood, love ramen and sushi, and visited often enough that the servers remembered our orders. The staff has always been friendly and attentive, so this review is not directed at them.
On 1/23/26, we came in for lunch and were seated at a table with a clear view of the kitchen. After ordering and beginning to eat our appetizers, I saw a rat run out of the kitchen and behind my girlfriend. I immediately told her, and she understandably panicked. The rat then ran back into the kitchen.
I got a server’s attention to explain what had just happened—and while I was speaking to them, the rat ran out again, this time toward the back of the restaurant. At this point, both the server and my girlfriend saw it. I even suggested they review the security cameras if needed.
We asked for our order to be canceled, which the server did immediately. The staff member was visibly shaken and clearly upset—he was almost speechless. We made it clear that we understood this was not his fault, but that the situation needed to be taken seriously.
The real issue:
At no point was the kitchen closed. Despite staff being informed and personally witnessing the rat, the restaurant continued operating as normal and remains open daily. Customers are still being served food in a space where a rat was actively running in and out of the kitchen.
That is completely unacceptable from a health and safety standpoint. As much as we liked this place and the staff, this experience alone ensures we will never return.
