Will overlook it this time as it was still edible for me, but not Red. I order the pork chops (maybe the third time now) while Red orders the beef Pad Thai. While waiting on the soups I slurp down the spicy broth left behind from the muscles. What a sin that the couple behind us left their muscle broth behind! Finally, the soups arrive. Red gingerly sips her beef broth and I gulp my Sweet and Sour soup. It had a piece of pineapple, mushrooms, okra and grape tomatoes. Tasted every bit as healthy as delicious. The lunch special pork chops arrive with two porkchops, instead of three - which is reflected in the price difference. Perhaps the menu should state the difference. Red enjoys her food with no complaints. Always a treat to eat at SEAK.

Bun bo hue broth tasted water down.

Mitsuwa Marketplace is a huge complex with a variety of Japanese vendors offering food,…read moremerchandise, and a large grocery market. There's also a sizable food court where you can grab a variety of Japanese dishes and sit at communal tables to eat. When I visited, the grocery store had food samplings throughout, which made browsing even more fun. The produce and seafood sections had some particularly unique offerings you don't normally see in typical supermarkets. There are also aisles for beer, sake, wine, and other alcohol. Self-checkout was easy, and while the place can get insanely busy overall, it's a really fun place to explore if you visit during off-peak times.

It's often maligned by more sophisticated sushi lovers but in the world of Supermarket Sushi…read moreDaikichi Sushi in the Mitsuwa Marketplace is worlds apart! Other take out sushi found in many ethnic/gourmet supermarkets falls short on quality across the board with soggy nori, dried out rice, questionable fish, bad wasabi and that ever present pink ginger. Daikichi is a sort of catering service and not simply some employee trained to roll up basic offerings and slap them in a plastic container with bamboo graphics. This sushi is of course still best eaten as soon as it's stocked in the cooler, the eyes need to be used in making a choice rather than being stuck on one particular menu selection. It appears they make sushi in two major waves, first is at opening (9:30 am) and the second is around noon for the grab and go lunch crowd. Later in the day they slow production and begin to discount the remainder. The selection is varied and seasonal, my personal favorite here is either the Toro Maki or Sake Maki (under $6 for two). Futo maki, Temaki, Uramaki, Inari and Nigiri sushi are readily available in the chiller. It's been my personal experience that they don't do requests and the workers seem a bit unengaging but the product is solid and priced well. Party platters are available ranging in price from 25-55 dollars here's a link to the menu http://www.mitsuwa.com/restaurants-shops/restaurants-sushi/daikichi-sushi/ The wasabi is unfortunately prepackaged but of good quality however you can buy small cups of it when available right in the case. If you cant find soy sauce or chopsticks ask the casher. Go easy on the bluefin tuna!

We walked in around 5pm without reservations and were greeted with smiles from the employees. We were immediately seated. For our meal, we decided to go for the staple, the tofu stew with pork and a side of rice. The tofu stew was so flavorful and the tofu was melting in my mouth. The rice was served in a hot stone bowl with bits of quinoa mixed in, which I really enjoyed. We also got the cheese spicy chicken. I would say that this was a bit more on the sweeter taste profile, but I enjoyed every bite! The banchan they provided was bean sprouts, fish cakes, kimchi, and cucumber. Each dish was tasty, but the fish cakes were my absolute favorite! They also do free banchan refills, so that was much appreciated. Really enjoyed every bite and will visit again when I'm back in the area!

I ordered the Unagi Don Gozen ($42)- it came with a whole tray of different delicious items, with the star of the show being a generous amount of unagi (eel) over rice. The eel was cooked very well and the rice was flavorful with a bit of sweetness. There was also a small bowl of udon noodles, some sashimi, a crispy tempura shrimp in a yummy creamy sauce, flavorful edamame, mashed potato with corn, and some pickled veggies - quite the diverse array, all of which was tasty. The restaurant itself has a rather simple yet elegant Japanese wooden design. The prices suggest it's a more high end place, but the vibe is actually rather casual. The staff are very attentive and the service speed is pretty quick. Overall, I would definitely give Moru 4.5 stars if I could. I think it's great for most types of occasions, and the only reasons it's not getting 5 stars is because I do think the prices are a tad higher than I would've hoped and I think they could've done a bit more in terms of designing the place to match the price point. That being said, I still highly recommend Moru, especially for a nice lunch.

I'll definitely be back before the season ends. The seafood pan-fried noodles never disappoint, and I also ordered another longtime favorite, the clay pot eggplant. Both dishes were excellent, as always. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Chinese food and consistently great flavors. The owner, Tony, always greets guests warmly and makes everyone feel welcome. Our waiter, Peter, was attentive and provided excellent service throughout the meal. It's an all-around enjoyable dining experience, made even better by the beautiful Hudson River waterfront view. A true neighborhood gem that keeps us coming back.

The shrimp had a stronger than usual seafood taste like it wasn't thoroughly washed and the texture was tougher than in used to like it was possibly overcooked. The sauce was god and the broccoli tasty but the shrimp was a little offputting. I'm not sure I would order the shrimp and broccoli again.

We always order sushi, and last night was no different. We did start with the Shrimp Tempura App (4 Shrimp No Vegetables). So fresh and piping hot.

NYC is catching up to major Japanese cities in terms of its sushi scene. World class sushi can be…read morehad for big $$$$. And very good sushi can be had for far, far less. There are many mid-tier, mid-priced sushi-ya -- not famous, but locally beloved -- tucked away in just about every residential neighborhood in Tokyo. Here, on the UWS, Tsumo is just this sort of favorite. I guess the biggest difference between Tsumo and its Japanese cousins is that unlike many neighborhood joints in Tokyo, Tsumo isn't owned and operated by a third generation sushi chef working alongside his (invariably his) son and wife. Tsumo UWS (one of two locations) features numerous sushi counters and many sushi chefs working for a nameless (to us) executive chef, working for a nameless (to us) company. For better or for worse, that doesn't make the sushi any less delicious. The sushi chefs are impeccably trained. Maybe there is something factory standardized about it all, but like it or not, the shari is prepared perfectly (more competently than One Bite these days), each piece of neta aged to a good texture and flavor and well cut. In short, the quality is on par with (perhaps even better than) a good neighborhood sushi-ya in Tokyo. At Tsumo, however, the "omakase" (read: set menu) doesn't vary much if at all. It's the same from season to season, from year to year. You can choose your own adventure to some extent by adding on pieces after the set meal is over. Missing is the element of surprise and the thrill of trying something new and unexpected that an itamae pulls out from a box under the sushi counter just for you. And missing is that special relationship you can develop with a kindly itamae who saves you a helping of special early May hotaru ika, or specially prepared shiokara or other chinmi b/c he knows it's the only week of the year when you'll be able to try it. But present: - I really do mean it when I say the shari is perfect. The short grain rice is seasoned with a touch of akazu, not too much sugar or salt, compressed into the right density, size, temperature and shape for how the neta is cut. - Each piece of neta is perfectly aged, in some cases garnished in a restrained way with, e.g. radish and chives, sturgeon caviar, black truffles, fried leeks. I like that the garnishes are not over the top and do not overwhelm the high quality fish. At our most recent meal, some pieces were overdressed with the viscous, almost syrupy soy sauce used in house (e.g. the hand roll and, to my great sadness, the uni), but this isn't always the case, here. We continue to be pretty darn happy with Tsumo, especially for this price point.
