    Teriyaki chicken
    Jonathan C.

    I really enjoyed the lunch bento boxes here! The teriyaki chicken was not bad, though I would have preferred the chicken to be in slices instead of chunks. The chicken katsu was really good! It's tender and fried well, and served on top of a bed of rice. The side salad was not bad, with a giant slice of fresh tomato on top. I loved the california rolls here, as well as the miso soup!

    Dragon Egg

    It was alright. I usually order from Isohama, so I have a high standard. I ordered the Tokyo Chicken bento set. Fire Island roll and the Dragon Egg. The Dragon Egg is lobster meat with shrimp mixed in, all wrapped in avocado. It's decadent, and is much better mixed with rice. By itself it's kind of a disaster. It didn't taste like much either, I would skip it. The Tokyo Fried Chicken set was soggy. And smaller than the usual bento sets from sushi places. The chicken was seasoned well. Shumai is delightful but very hard to screw up hahha. Bento didn't come with miso. The Fire Island roll was very hard to eat -- overwhelming smoky taste that ruined the flavour of the roll. Not my cup of tea. Service was quick and friendly, I will try again maybe it's just what I ordered. But meh overall

    Food and delivery service were outstanding. The delivery (ordered Thru seamless) arrived in much less time than estimated, which was a pleasant surprise, and the delivery person was upbeat and positive, giving a big thank you as he dropped off my food. Food: Everything was delicious. - Dinosaur egg. A perfect little treasure. Every once in a while you get a special food that I think of as a little food treasure, looking like a beautifully packaged gift, with every bite being a delicious, flavor bursting treat. This was one of those treasures I will absolutely order again. Spicy shrimp wrapped with avocado and topped with pretty red roe. - Sushi deluxe platter. This came with a well presented, assorted mix of salmon, tuna, yellowtail, shrimp and eel sushi, plus a roll. All of the sushi was excellent. - Lobster roll. Very good. - Gyoza (dumplings). My son's favorite, and he liked them. Definitely recommend for fantastic sushi and prompt, friendly delivery service.

    Hanabi is my go to for take out and delivery sushi in the upper east side! My favorite items include the gyoza, cucumber roll and some of the many different combos they have. I really enjoy the sushi platter. Their delivery always comes quickly and very neatly packed.

    I stopped by because I was craving sushi and did not want bar food my friends were eating during football Sunday next door. Hanabi looked clean, so I walked in and ordered two salmon avocado rolls. The lady behind the counter processed my order and I took a seat. The sushi chef went right to work and made my rolls super quick. I was eating in less than 10 minutes. The salmon avocado rolls were fresh and the fish to rice ratio was proportional. I was surprised by how fresh the fish was! Compared to other quick sushi spots in the city, this place definitely is ranked up there. Everyone was friendly and service was great!

    Seaweed Salad
    Pallabi M.

    Such a great lowkey normal sushi spot in NYC. All of the rolls were fresh and priced reasonably. I ordered the salmon avocado, white tuna avocado, spicy crunchy crab, and eel avocado rolls with a side of spicy mayo. I also got seaweed salad but it was kind of cold and tasted kind of frozen even. However the rolls were spot on.

    This is a go to place for unpretentious, no frills sushi. The thing with sushi in NYC is that the cheaper ones tend to use old/low quality fish and the "high end" ones tend to be overpriced and not really appropriate if you're just having those "sushi craving" moments. For $18.50 you can get a deluxe sushi platter and for $12.95 you can get a chicken teriyaki Bento, cheaper than most of the sushi places in UES while the fish is still relatively fresh. They pack their orders nicely for transportation/delivery.

    I so love eating a tasty box! I mean, how can a man resist when a tasty box is thrown his way for only $9? Granted, this ain't no fancy box at all. Kind of a bare bones Japanese joint. Very fast foodie looking, with only a few tables and chairs, and no real decor to speak of. When I was here chowing down on my box today they had country music playing. No, really. That being said, it seems everything is cheap here. Food came out fast. It was edible. Good portion that was just right for lunch. Came with soup or soda. As I wrapped my lips around this box I also realized it was on a paper plate and not in the traditional bento box. No biggie but I do prefer a real box. Overall, it's ok here if you're not expecting anything amazing. Sometimes a man has a hard time passing up a cheap box!

    Salmon Teriyaki and California Roll Bento Box
    Lourdes C.

    I ordered delivery through Seamless and my food came not too quick to where you're worried it wasn't fresh but it came at just the right amount of time. Very fairly priced. The salmon bento lunch special was around $12 not bad at all. It was so delicious I ate it so fast and forgot to take a first pic hahah. Can't wait to try their sushi! This salmon was bomb. California roll tasted very fresh. I wi be ordering again soon!

    We happened on this spot on the way to a show, and so happy we did. Such a cozy small dining room,…read moretastefully and simply designed. Everything was delicious! I had the classic Tonkatsu Ramen, with an egg - The pork ws seared and still so tender! The broth was very flavorful. My husband has a salmon rice bowl, and he loved it. He said the fish was cooked perfectly! We started with veggie gyoza, and they do them in a very interesting way. Very flat and all fried together. We were surprised when they brought them, but they were awesome! we were. fan of this style almost immediately! The waiter gently recommended the pork gyoza (his preference) but not everyone at the table eats meat, so we stayed with the vegetable. We really enjoyed our meal! everything was quick, the service was above and beyond, we would happily return!

The restaurant is a small cozy place that's great for a date night. The ramen itself was good. It wasn't very spicy despite me ordering the spicy beef ramen. However that's usually the case for all ramen places. The broth was delicious which I finished every last drop of. Again, the meal was very delicious. It wasn't a memorable bowl of ramen but I have no complaints. The ingredients were great and it had good flavor. It's definitely one of the better spots in the neighborhood. I could recommend this location for a date night over the other ramen establishments in the area. Again, there's no shortage of choices.

The dining area features a long counter with partitions between each diner, the better for you to focus on the experience of your meal. This is not the place to come for a group meal -- you really won't be able to talk to anyone who isn't immediately next to you -- but it's great for a quiet respite or solo dining. I got the Classic Tonkatsu, while my sister got the Veggie Ramen. Both were excellent, with richly flavorful broth, perfectly chewy noodles, and either meat or mushrooms. I got the medium spice, which was a balanced warmth that never tipped over into too much heat. I highly recommend!

I could've ordered the rice along with it, but I didn't want to do carbs on carbs especially with all the walking in the city. - Matcha beer was exactly what I thought it would be. Match + Beer. Refreshing and it was a good decision because it reached 90F that day. - Service was fast. We got our food within 5 mins of sitting down. - Place is exactly like those YouTube videos where they show what they eat either here in NY or Japan. Great lighting and I forgot to add the water dispenser is right behind you so you can easily refill yourself. I was expecting a hot water dispenser right next to you and matcha powder because I've seen it in some videos, but it's not the worst thing in the world. I'd go back, but I'm not much of a city person so I don't know when that would be. I will say, ordering from a kiosk takes away from the experience of writing on the paper you see on YouTube but again, not the worst thing in the world.

I missed a call and literally two minutes later the call came through again and the woman yelled at me - "hurry up hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" said the driver was waiting 10-15 minutes for me, which was simply untrue - I got a call literally two minutes before- just rude. Added a screenshot in case the owner doubles down that it was 15 mins. Guess the first call was from the delivery driver, and the second was from the restaurant itself. ‍ But the really disappointing part is that they didn't pack any soup separate from the noodles! - So my chicken dumpling noodle soup basically had no soup - don't know if they forgot it or if it was absorbed by the noodles but most restaurants at this point know to pack the broth and the noodles separately,- so I ended up having to add some of my own vegetable broth, which totally was not the flavor I was hoping for. So - love the food, but delivery service leaves a lot to be desired - next time I'll try giving instructions to pack the soup separate from the noodles and see if that helps!

    We started out in Chelsea, aiming for Chinatown. The bus was twenty minutes off. "Is it worth…read morewaiting?" I asked T. "We can go someplace else." "How 'bout there?" he responded pointing to Excellent Dumpling House. It was directly across the street. I pulled up Yelp, saw good reviews and readily agreed. At 3:30, the restaurant was empty. There were a few takeout orders, but we were the only people sitting down for late lunch. And y'know ... it was pretty good. Wonton soup is what I'd expect in Chinatown. Wonton wrappers were thin -- my preference -- the stuffing delicious and the broth flavorful. They were generous with the beef in our chow fun. Good, but the noodles needed a jolt. So I asked for soy sauce which was sort of a solution. Shrimp with vegetables was great. A lot of shrimp, too. There are lunchtime specials on weekdays, reasonable prices, and nice people work there. Next time it makes sense to try dumplings since it is, after all a dumpling house.
