Upon entering Bond St, I realized that it is part of a multi-level building. My friend and I were a bit confused at first and went downstairs just to be told to go upstairs. We then went to the one located in the lobby to find out that we had to take the elevator to a higher level. It was pretty cool and interesting in finding the actual restaurant. When my friend and I got seated, we were given the menus right away and I got the rose cocktail. I don't remember which drink my friend got but the rose cocktail was literally TO DIE FOR. It was probably one of the best cocktails I've had. We decided to get the scallops as an appetizer and one of the sushi for 2 dishes. I don't remember which one we got but the quality of the fish was very fresh and delicious. My favorite one was probably the shrimp even though I'm not a huge fan of shrimp. This just means that it was VERY VERY good. For dessert I got the Bread Pudding and my friend got the Panna Cotta I believe? The bread pudding was also heavenly and delicious. I would recommend coming here again although it is a bit pricey. But hey, it's NY.. everything is pricey. read more

Visited on a Saturday Nighy. Packed but a sexy crowd, a lot of lovers and fun, good looking people The wait was short. The server was great. My drink was a smushed/smashed mule. It was cool. I had the spicy tuna roll & king crab avocado roll. For dinner I had King Prawns which was severed with a quinoa grain & the Black Sea Bass. The visit was an experience, also quality Japanese food with a sexy intimate space. I would visit again. My server name I forgot but she had a gold chain and Caucasian.

We sat in the upstairs dining room. The low lighting, soft mood music and contemporary decor created a cozy, intimate vibe. The waitstaff were friendly and personable. We started with the seared salmon sashimi for an appetizer. It was fresh and light with the acidity of the soy sauce complementing, and not overpowering, the succulent salmon. Next we had the short rib foie gras gyoza. Yoooooo! I died and came back to life. This dish has supernatural powers. You'd think the decadent richness of the foie gras would be too much combined with the savory short rib but you'd be wrong...very, very wrong. Add the plum wine sake glaze and slightly sweet flavor of the figs and what you have is inadequately described by the word "masterpiece". This is the absolute best gyoza I've had in my life! For the main course I ordered the scallop and jalapeño roll and the spicy yellow tail roll. Both were fresh, superb and artfully done. My husband has the nigiri omakase, and as he relayed, each piece selected by the chef was a unique, and phenomenal delight. If you like good quality sushi and a chill vibe, this is the place. read more

The absolute highlights of the night were the the cold appetizer, big eye tuna (YOU MUST TRY THIS) and the hot appetizer, Sea bass skewer (I usually don't like cooked fish but this was amazing). The desserts were out-of-this-world: bread pudding and lychee panna cotta. I highly highly recommend these. The bread budding was so warm with delicious vanilla ice cream on top. The panna cotta has a delicious fruit purée at its base and a phenomenal texture. Strangely we came for the sushi but they were good but not the highlight of the meal (probably because the appetizers and dessert took the spotlight). We had the smoked salmon and shrimp sashimi, and for sushi rolls we had the crunchy rice, spicy yellowtail, jalapeño scallop, and sesame rolls. The ambience was amazing with dim lighting. We had a reservation for the lounge area. We also had plum wine, which was very delicious. Amazing place for a romantic, more classy date or hangout with friends! We came on a Thursday night at 7pm and by 9pm the place was PACKED with plenty of people standing around the bar and lounge area. On the second floor, there is full dining area rather than a lounge area. The service was amazing. Very attentive staff. For the delicious appetizers and desserts, as well as the phenomenal ambience, I won't hesitate to come back! read more

Very underwhelming. Bond St. has long been on my list of coveted restaurants to try since before I even moved to NYC, probably ~ 6 years ago. It's possible at that time it was a great, high-quality, and worth the experience place but it definitely does not live up to the hype. Let me start by saying I only eat halal and I know that their wagyu is highly coveted so if you're here for a review of that then scroll on ahead. The yellowtail sashimi and salmon sashimi appetizers were good but not absolute melt in your mouth. The tuna crispy rice was okay. Regarding their sushi, it was good but nothing to write home about. Honestly, our go-to neighborhood sushi spot has similar quality fish for about 1/3 of the price. For the prices, ambiance, and hype, I was expecting a lot more. I'm not sure if over the years they've dwindled in quality or whether other better restaurants have come up and they haven't caught up to the standards. I love a place with good ambiance but the quality of the food and pricing has to also match and for that reason I wouldn't even consider coming back here unless someone absolutely insisted on it. I barely write negative reviews but if you're like me and have always hovered over the BondSt website or Yelp page thinking 'hmm, maybe I'll finally go,' save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else. read more

If you're going to get anything here, it HAS to be the tuna tart. I love anything with truffle and could've easily had five of these. We ended up ordering multiple and I'll be dreaming about them until the next time I visit.

Looking for a buzzy sushi spot where it's more important that you're seen pulling up on a cobble stone street than having an actually delicious meal? BondST is for you. It's a date night spot if you care about seeing and being seen, but this place was probably bumpin' when SATC was in its heyday. The furniture, silverware and dinnerware could use some updating. Do not get the scallop ceviche; it is bland and the tomatoes are mealy. I enjoyed the mushroom salad with sunflower sprouts, and the duck confit was well done, even if the passionfruit dressing was a little uninspired. The sushi itself was decent, though I would not come here for sushi alone. The uni toast was tasty. Overall, a pricey and bougie place but most of the check is going towards the Bond St rental and not the ambience or the food. read more

Delicious, fresh, classy. Service was great from the moment we arrived. We were seated in the back room upstairs, the room was the perfect noise level and tables felt spread apart enough for comfort. In terms of food, to share between 4 people we ordered the big eye tuna tarts, tuna crispy rice, crispy spicy shrimp, short rib fois gras gyoza and donuts for dessert. Everything was delicious, my favorite was probably the tuna tarts. All of the fish was buttery and tender, and the short rib gyoza was really special. I recommend getting dessert, it was definitely worth it and you can tell they have a seasoned pastry chef. We didn't order sushi rolls, but rather opted for nigiri. My favorite was the otoro. Sometimes tuna has a fishy flavor, but not here, you could tell this tuna was fresh and it really melted in your mouth. 5 stars for ambiance, service, and most importantly fresh and tastey food. read more

Incredible doesn't cut it. This is the place to go. Visited for the first time despite being on my list forever. Wish I had gone sooner. My friend and I went on a Saturday night and we were seated in the lounge. For starters, the music here is great. Back to back Drake really added to the vibe. The service here was also a 10/10. What we were most excited about were the lychee martinis (each had 3 - they made them so well). Food wise we split edamame, each got a salad (the warm mushroom salad was INSANE). Another must have is the crispy rice - I got the avocado one and my friend got the tuna. DO NOT SKIP ON THE DESSERT. You have to try the green tea crepe. I'm still dreaming about it. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner recently. It was quite difficult to book a non-lounge or bar table so definitely get your resies in early. They have quite an overwhelming menu. I think there are 10+ items in each section. Actually, I guess that's not that many considering how some sushi restaurant menus are in booklets. For apps we ordered the king crab rice cakes, szechuan yellowtail, and scallop tempura. For rolls we ordered the toro, shrimp, and eel. For sushi/sashimi we ordered the otoro, uni and the seared quartet. If you have limited tummy space I would recommend coming here just for the sushi and sashimi. They are creative and there's enough variety. The sashimi was very fresh. The uni was super sweet and creamy. Would recommend for cute date nights and birthdays! read more

My friend and i came here for dinner on a Sunday night at the recommendation of someone who lives nearby. At first we didn't know where the entrance was. They have an underground bar? But we finally made our way in through a nondescript door and got seated right at the time of our reservation. The vibe is very chill. Kind of dark. We loved everything we ordered. Funny enough we were disappointed no edamame on the menu but they just bring it out for you. We started with vegetable tempura and tuna on crispy rice. Both were excellent. We then had some sashimi, sushi and a couple of rolls. Everything was delicious. Great presentation. Lovely drink menu. Overall it was a wonderful experience and i highly recommend this spot. read more

I'm laughing as I write this, laughing at myself for spending $300+ for an average dinner for 2, no drinks. We dined at BondSt on May 5th, and made a mistake of ordering sushi, omakase in fact. While presentation was nice (could have been the very dim lighting) the sushi was around 2.5 starts: cold grainy rice, poorly cut fish, fishy scallop. Then came the dessert: doughnuts drenched in granulated sugarService wasn't much better. The waiter took the order and never came back to check on us.

We walked into a cozy, intimate space that felt more like a traditional Japanese noodle shop than a large restaurant, with a warm, understated energy that kept the attention on the food. The dining room was modest and inviting, with a layout that accommodated a steady flow of customers, and the focus was clearly on the quality of the noodles and the care that went into each bowl. The udon was the highlight of the meal. The noodles had a thick, chewy texture that showed the difference between freshly made udon and typical packaged noodles, and the broth was flavorful without feeling too heavy, with a savory depth that paired well with the noodles. We ordered a few different bowls and found the shrimp tempura udon standing out, with the tender shrimp, crispy tempura coating, and rich broth coming together in a way that felt complete. The restaurant also offers different styles of udon, including hot and cold options, which gave us good variety depending on what we were looking for. Beyond the udon, Raku has a selection of additional dishes that complement the meal. The menu keeps the focus on Japanese comfort food, and the smaller dishes made it easy to add something extra without taking away from the main bowl. We appreciated that the restaurant does not overcomplicate the food and instead focuses on getting the fundamentals right. The dining experience is more relaxed and intimate, though the space is limited and can get busy during peak hours. Reservations are helpful, especially during popular dining times, and seating can feel a little tight because of the smaller layout. Despite the size, the atmosphere works well for enjoying a slower meal centered around a warm bowl of udon. The staff moved through the room with a quiet efficiency, and the pacing of the meal kept the experience smooth and unhurried. Overall, Raku is a great spot for anyone looking for high-quality udon in NYC. The handmade noodles, flavorful broths, and simple approach to Japanese comfort food make it stand out. It is the type of restaurant we would return to when craving a satisfying bowl of noodles rather than a more casual ramen-style meal.

There are many…read morerestaurants with lines that I can't say are worth waiting on, but this restaurant is worth every minute and every ounce of energy left for the wait. I've taken a lot of friends here over the course of 10 years, and without fail, every one of them has walked out mindblown--and why wouldn't they?! The wait times have gotten better over the years (probably because people are waiting for the restaurant next door), but the food and drinks here are still top-notch. Staff is always great, and they all work so efficiently. I am generally a fan of izakayas, but there are very few that offer plates that are designed to be shareable, and this is one of the reasons the food here is so enjoyable in a small group setting. I am obviously biased and think they can do no wrong, but some of my staples that have stood the test of time: Kimchi cream udon, avocado tofu salad, salmon sashimi tacos, and the kani cream croquettes. I was so excited when they opened an outpost in Flushing years ago, but sadly it shuttered during COVID. It is definitely small and there is always going to be a wait, so don't be those people who come in with a huge group during prime time because they like to move (getting customers in and out) very fast.

We walked into a casual, no-frills space that felt similar to a classic tonkatsu restaurant in Japan, with a straightforward layout and a menu that stays focused on different cuts of pork, chicken katsu, fried seafood, and Japanese curry. The dining room had a practical, unpretentious energy with a steady flow of customers coming in for a comforting meal, and the open kitchen gave us a view of the frying process that added to the anticipation. The tonkatsu is the clear standout. We ordered a few options and found the breading light, crisp, and fried without feeling heavy or greasy, while the meat stayed tender and juicy inside. The Berkshire pork was a popular choice, with a richer flavor and extra tenderness compared to a standard pork cutlet, and the texture of the breading held up well against the sauce. Every meal came as a teishoku set with rice, miso soup, shredded cabbage, and pickles, making it feel like a complete and satisfying meal. The cabbage provided a refreshing contrast to the fried food, and the house tonkatsu sauce paired well with the crispy coating without overpowering the pork. The katsu curry was another excellent option, with the rich Japanese curry adding another layer of flavor while still letting the crisp texture of the cutlet stand out. Fried shrimp, oysters when in season, and other appetizers like takoyaki and agedashi tofu rounded out the menu, though the pork katsu remained the main reason to visit. The restaurant is consistently busy during lunch and dinner, so it was common to wait for a table during peak hours. Service was efficient once we were seated, and the food came out fairly quickly despite the crowds. Portion sizes were generous, making the prices feel reasonable considering the quality and amount of food. The staff moved through the room with a practiced rhythm, and the pacing of the meal kept the experience smooth without feeling rushed. Overall, Katsu-Hama is one of the strongest tonkatsu restaurants in New York City. The consistently crispy cutlets, quality ingredients, and traditional Japanese set meals make it an easy recommendation for anyone looking for authentic tonkatsu without unnecessary extras.

I feel like this place is good, but the white sauce is what makes it. Would I wait another 50 minutes in line, again? Heck to the no - but 1 time? Yes, just to say I tried it. I came in line around 9:45pm and waited approx. 50 minutes before being served. the line just grows and grows.... it is crazy busy! I don't get the line concept here. Because while I was in a long line, when I get to the front, there's another line to the left of the truck... and people seem to be getting their food faster, and the line is like 2x shorter. So that's kind of confusing. Ambience in line and ordering = chaotic. The line is quick in terms of when it is your turn, KNOW what you want. Because you have like 5 seconds to order and that's it. I ordered the special (the spicy rice, lamb and chicken combo, extra white sauce, 3 squirts of hot sauce, and a topped with fries). $13 in total. I would like to say, advice to folks to know what you want before you come. I did not look at menu options beforehand and I did fairly little research so I honestly did not know what to order, just looked at some google reviews and pictures. That is going to help you, in case you do not want the typical lamb and chicken combo. To the food - 1st - they don't care how much hot sauce you want. they're making these bowls in the masses and are just giving you a single squirt so they can make 20 bowls all at the same time. I was hoping for more spice in what I ordered, but it was very slightly spicy. I'm not sure if they let you serve yourself to more, but I'd definitely want more of the hot sauce. 2nd - I didn't taste any spice in the spicy rice. I'm not sure if, again, due to the fast production that it all just taste like regular rice? but didn't see what the hype was there. 3rd - I genuinely think the white sauce is what brings it all together. The chicken was OK to me. I didn't think it was anything special, and would give it a 3 out of 5. texture was OK, flavor was OK... the lamb definitely stole the show. The lamb was absolutely flavorful and full of delicious spices. This reminded me of what I've had in Dubai. Very rich in flavor and just the perfect amount of spices. Overall, I think if you wait for your food to cool down like 20 minutes, you'll get to taste the flavors more. Everything hot together, for me, just didn't allow me to really absorb all the food. But the rice was your average rice. Pita was deliciously soft and pillowy which complemented the white sauce. Chicken was ok. had an OK texture; nothing life changing. lamb was fantastic, and fries were just fries (nothing memorable). For a NYC experience, a 1-time, 50 minute wait is acceptable. And, for $13, that's pretty cheap for the amount of food you get. I would eat it again if the line was 5 minutes. Otherwise, I'm positive you will find similar food/better food elsewhere.

Combo (chicken and lamb) over rice and fries was well seasoned. Would recommend dranks while waiting with friends in line hehe!

The fig jam bacon was more like a 7-7.5/10. The amount of toppings was lacking. The bites that did have toppings were quite good. Better than the pepperoni.

The korean wings were also alright but the batter to me was kinda thick and heavy and lacked crispiness.

I think the eggs are cooked with cheese, and as someone who typically does not eat cheese, I didn't mind it. I don't know if I'll be back again - I think the concept of an asian twist on the classic diner does sound intriguing but difficult to execute. I also wasn't a big fan of the wait time.

We walked into a space with a rustic and earthy design that felt warm and comfortable, the kind of room that stands out from the typical tourist-area restaurants nearby. The dining room had a relaxed, inviting energy with a layout that accommodated both small groups and larger parties, and the focus felt centered around the food rather than the spectacle of the neighborhood. The food is where Mountain House really stands out. We ordered a few dishes and found the Mapo tofu one of the highlights, with a deep, rich flavor and a balanced level of heat that made it feel more complex than many versions of the dish we have tried. The combination of spice, seasoning, and texture came together in a way that felt carefully composed. The Sichuan-style dishes also showcased the restaurant's strength with bold mala flavors, bringing the characteristic numbing spice without completely overwhelming the other elements of the dish. The fried rice was another standout, simple but executed well, with a comforting quality that made it a great balance alongside the more intense Sichuan dishes. The restaurant also offered a variety of dishes that worked well for sharing, including options like pork belly and seafood-based dishes, making it a good choice for groups who wanted to try multiple flavors instead of ordering individually. We appreciated the small touches that added to the overall experience, including the complimentary pickled vegetables and tea service, which helped make the meal feel more complete rather than just a series of dishes arriving at the table. Service during our visit was attentive, and the staff were helpful with navigating the menu and spice levels. They offered guidance on which dishes would work best for our group and adjusted the heat when we asked. The main thing to keep in mind is that Sichuan cuisine can vary significantly in spice level, and some dishes can be much hotter than expected. If you are not used to mala spice, asking for recommendations or adjusting the spice level is worth doing. The portions also make this a better option for sharing, especially if you want to try several dishes. Overall, Mountain House is a strong option for Sichuan food. The combination of bold flavors, comfortable atmosphere, and attentive service makes it a place worth returning to, especially if you enjoy spicy Chinese cuisine and want a restaurant that focuses on the flavors and techniques of Sichuan cooking rather than just convenience.

A 6:30 rendezvous at Bond Street, we were promptly whisked off into an oasis of sophistication. The mood - delightfully chic. The lighting - perfectly dimmed. The soundtrack - a symphony of conversations, each more outlandishly privileged than the last. The evening opened with the fanfare of cocktails: a trusty tequila soda for yours truly, and a vino for my lady. Unsurprisingly, no plot twists here. The wine was up to par and the Casamigos soda played its part admirably. In our quest for culinary excitement, we beckoned forth the crunchy tuna and tuna pizza. The former, alas, was an Icarus of an appetizer, reaching for a perfect crispy zenith but ultimately plunging into the realm of the overfried. The tuna pizza, however, danced delightfully on the tongue. Thin slices of big eye tuna, elegantly draped on a crisp cracker with a slathering of what appeared to be crème fraîche. Yet, the symphony was slightly off-key due to the unexpected room temperature of the tuna. One would hope for a cooler sensation, no? The culinary roller coaster continued. My request for the Amaebi spot prawn was met with disappointment as the familiar fried heads were absent. The sushi, too, seemed to have taken a siesta before reaching our table, as they were all disconcertingly lukewarm. While their texture met expectations, the flavor appeared to have been left in the fridge. Our choice of a $78 bottle of Junmai Ginjo sake was another hiccup on our journey - despite the premium price tag, no pre-purchase tasting was permitted. An eccentric rule, but we rolled with it. When the curtain fell on our $300+ meal, we left with lighter wallets, heightened spirits, but surprisingly, rumbling stomachs. The scorecard? Service: 4/10. Food: 6.5/10. Ambience: a resounding 10/10. Was the gastronomical experience worth the price tag? Unfortunately, not by a long shot. We decided to jazz up our dishes with the $10 fresh wasabi. What appeared at our table, however, was a veritable mountain of the stuff. To our surprise, we found ourselves charged for two of these spicy behemoths - a presumptuous twist by our server, given that we'd only asked for one. However, the silver lining of the evening was the colorful chatter throughout the dining room - the highlight being a declaration of astonishment at someone's audacity to buy a "cheap" silver Love band from Cartier. What a horror! The wearer of said comment was decked out in what suspiciously looked like parentally-sponsored Cartier trinkets. But hey, who am I to judge Thankfully, this was a short-lived hiccup, and the extra charge was promptly vanquished from our bill. Nevertheless, it did add an extra pinch of wasabi to an already mixed bag of an evening. So, there you have it, Bond Street - a place where the ambience outshines the food and the conversations are, quite simply, priceless. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at BondST in New York City, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a chic, modern ambiance that set the stage for a fantastic evening. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the sushi. BondST takes great pride in their sushi selection, and it shows. Each piece was meticulously crafted, showcasing the chef's expertise and attention to detail. The freshness and quality of the fish were outstanding, leaving me craving for more with every bite. The creative combinations of flavors and textures in their specialty rolls were a delightful surprise, and I couldn't help but savor every single one. It's safe to say that BondST truly understands the art of sushi-making. But BondST doesn't stop at sushi; their cocktail menu is equally impressive. The mixologists behind the bar know how to create concoctions that are both visually stunning and delectably balanced. I tried a few different cocktails throughout the evening, and each one was a masterful blend of flavors and spirits. Whether you prefer a classic martini or a more adventurous fusion drink, BondST has you covered. I highly recommend indulging in their cocktails to complement your meal. The service at BondST was impeccable. The staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. They offered helpful suggestions and were always available to answer any questions I had. Despite the restaurant being busy, the waitstaff managed to make me feel like a valued guest, which added to the overall exceptional dining experience. While the food and cocktails were fantastic, I must mention that the prices at BondST are on the higher side. However, considering the quality of the ingredients, the culinary expertise on display, and the overall experience, I believe it's worth the investment for a special occasion or a treat-yourself night. The only reason I didn't give BondST a full 5-star rating is because of the noise level. As the restaurant gets busy, the ambient noise can become quite loud, making it a bit challenging to have conversations without raising your voice. However, this small drawback shouldn't overshadow the outstanding food and service. In summary, BondST is a must-visit destination for sushi lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike. The incredible sushi selection and expertly crafted cocktails make for a truly memorable dining experience. Just be prepared for the bustling atmosphere. I will definitely be returning to BondST for more delectable culinary adventures. read more

D: Came here for Restaurant Week Summer 2011. There's a bar in the waiting area, and at least two floors that I saw of the restaurant. We were seated on the second floor. The appetizer I got was the miso soup and I am happily surprised to say that it was as good a miso soup as I've ever had. For the main course bento plate, I got the steak, which was amaazing. The rolls were also very good and the agedashi tofu was excellent, albeit very small. I also snuck some parts of C's meal. The sashimi was great, I love yellowtail (hamachi). Finally, the dessert was the coconut tiramisu. I really liked it, though I have to say it tastes more like ordinary coconut cake than tiramisu, but splitting hairs here. The ambiance was also nice and elegant, and wasn't overly crowded, at least for NY. This place would've gotten 5 stars from me if not for the poor service. Although we had a reservation, it took another 20-30 minutes for us to get seated. The wait between courses was interminably long, and our drinks were rarely tended to. I'm sure they were really busy because of RW, but still not great to wait 30 minutes for dessert. Hopefully, it was a one-shot deal with the service. Overall, I really liked the food and would like to go back again. C: Walked by this place many times without realizing it's a restaurant inside. Came here on a Tuesday night for RW. Had the salad with ginger dressing as my appetizer. Fresh and delish. Perfect dressing and veggie ratio. For my bento box, I chose the miso grilled bass. Which tasted a lot like the miso grilled cod from nobu. Just a little sweeter and a lil more burnt. Enjoyed everything else that came along with my bento box. Ordered the ricotta cup as my dessert. The cup was huge and D finished his dessert way earlier that I even made a dent in mine. Overall, love the place. The service can be better. I think we weren't serve as attentively cuz we were ordering from RW menu and preferred tapped water. One thing I noticed tho, a lot of the tables around us didn't actually order from the RW menu. High rollers around us i suppose... Took a while for the waitress to even notice we wanted our check too.... and the waitress didn't put much effort in taking a pic for us. Was blurry both tries.. but i felt bad asking again. Nevertheless, will return for special occasion read more

I came here at the beginning of restaurant week and had an excellent meal. Along with the three course meal, I also did the martini tasting, which in turn was excellent. The restaurant is pretty interesting, in that it's a restaurant/apartment complex, so you'll often see tenants walking by and staring at you, which is pretty funny to be honest. But onto the meal: 1st course: Miso soup. It was a good miso soup, wasn't expecting much and it impressed. This was paired with a dry sake martini. Perfect accompaniment, the dryness contrasts with the soup for a pleasant feeling and taste. 2nd course: Main entree. I got the Chilean Sea-bass, along with 2 salmon rolls/spicy tuna rolls, and Chipotle Shrimp. The rolls were amazing, not served super cold, or warm, but just right. It was very fresh and I definitely enjoyed it. The Chipotle Shrimp was also amazing, too. Fried just right, so that it was especially crunch and spicy, but with none of that greasiness that typically accompanies fried foods. Finally, the Chilean Sea-bass was subliminal. It's pretty hard to mess up Sea-bass since there's so much fat in it, but the place definitely got this dish right. The fish flaked easily, it was delicate, and intensely juicy somehow, and the sauce was amazing, too. This dish was paired with a saketini, which was excellent. 3rd dish: I got the chocolate lava cake. The cake was verry good, moist, with a nice crust, and delicious chocolate inside. The cake wasn't too sweet, or sweet at all, it was perfect. There was also a scoop of espresso ice cream that went along with this, which had coffee bean bits in it that made it that much better. The final martini pairing was a lychee martini, which perfectly ended the meal. This place is way too expensive normally for my student budget, and I'd like to try other new places when restaurant week rolls around next time, but I'm sure I'll be back at some point in my life when I have a decent income. read more

Launch area only: MUST MUST MUST try "pizzasusi" I call it - Big Eye Tuna Tarts. Rich flavor and softness of thin fish on a crispy thin baked base. Here you go heavy duty - White truffle oil - killing your last resistance! Hokkaido Scallop+Uni special of the night: standing out literally, only if you consider yourself comfortable to step out of comfort zone and try something new: design/texture/flavor-wise. Served on a cold heavy giant real sea shell and ... rich is not a word to describe ample flavor of caviar, serrano chili paper, radishes, uni, scallops, orange, radish, cilantro, tosazu gelee. Seared Belly Quartet & eel avocado roll: palatable, heavy on rice. $$$: Yes, After $100 bill you'll be still hungry and go for a pretty big desert elsewhere, but who goes to susi place for filling?! You come here to take your taste buds out. Atmosphere. 4* for "break your leg" entrance, low tables on the knee level and loud darkness. 100% uncomfortable for the first date due to eating so low (I did regret I'm not a horse with a long neck), Disability to sea each other as well as impossible for business dinners. Top 3*: flavorish, expensive, hidden #nyc #Bondst read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at BondST, and I was blown away by the sushi. The restaurant is upscale and chic, with a lively atmosphere and attentive service. The standout dish at BondST is the sushi. The fish is incredibly fresh and the flavors are bold and well-balanced. The sushi rolls are beautifully presented, with a variety of ingredients and flavor combinations. The overall quality of the sushi at BondST is simply unmatched. In addition to the sushi, the other dishes at BondST are equally impressive. The vegetables are crisp and flavorful, and the meats are tender and juicy. The desserts are also noteworthy, with rich, indulgent flavors and beautifully presented. Overall, I cannot recommend BondST highly enough. The sushi is absolutely amazing, and the atmosphere is lively and upscale. The only downside is the price, which is quite high. However, the quality of the sushi and the dining experience make it worth it for a special occasion. I would give BondST a solid 5 stars. It's one of the best sushi restaurants in the city, and a must-visit for anyone who loves high-end Japanese cuisine. read more

I was not overly impressed with the food at BondSt. The service, on the other hand, was very good. We came here for a 6 cocktail and 6 maki roll Gilt voucher that was intended for 6 people but we showed up with 4 (greedy greedy). I admit that the Big Eye Tuna Tarts were pretty spectacular; sushi grade tuna sitting on top of a bed of spicy mayo and thin cracker like base. At $22 for two pieces they are something to experience, but not something that one would likely order over and over again. The cocktails were good! We all ordered different ones, including two sake cocktails, their twist on an old fashioned, a rum cocktail, and a lychee martini. All very good, I have nothing but good things to say about the drinks and service. The maki rolls if what flopped for me. What i would call fusion extreme. Really trying to go too far and with too much sauce. I like to have a subtle dipping sauce for maki rolls but I also like to be able to tell I'm eating sushi. This is a personal preference! Others may love the style of sushi BondSt has the offer so come with an open mind and give this place a shot. read more
