    We came here on a Friday night with a 6:00pm reservation for seven people. We were excited based on the positive reviews and beautiful decor and the options available. Who doesn't love omakase and yakiniku? Anyway, the overall experience was lackluster. Service was soooooo slow and the food was just mediocre. Most of us opted for the $88 menu which included six pieces of sushi and a few cuts of beef + a miso soup. Two of us got the $68 menu that didn't have the sushi pieces. The sushi was not bad but not amazing. But I appreciated having this option. The miso soup was really flavorful and seafoody, which was good. The bbq meats were all just ok and it literally came at snails pace. Those who didn't order the $88 set didn't get the sushi so had to wait a long long long time for the bbq meats. The best meat of course was the wagyu but because everything came so slow, it really made our experience really bad. I appreciated that they cooked everything for us and gave us basically two tables, one for cooking the food and one for just eating at the table since we had a child and wanted the heated grill to be away from him. They gave us tea as well but it was not refilled. Water wasn't refilled either. Our chopsticks kept dropping on the floor and we took matters into our own hands and went around the tables to get new chopsticks. Overall, I feel like they sort of tried to accommodate us but they also didn't check up on us. It was really disappointing how lackluster everything was, especially the slow service since the restaurant wasn't even half full. Sad to say but I wouldn't recommend and won't be back.

    Love this place! We came for a birthday and they brought us tiramisu to celebrate. It was two of us. We each ordered the sushi Omakase and then got a third Omakase of the steak and sushi and shared. It was all delicious and the perfect amount of food. The meat was some of the best I have ever had (though warning the pieces are small). Highly recommend! Can't wait to come back.

    First omakase experience so take my review with a grain of salt. The pricing was extremely fair and the quality was good. I got the omakase and Japanese bbq set. The fish was fresh and was the perfect temperature. There was also a significant amount of meat ranging from beef short rib to pork jowl (The meat pictured is the portion for 3 people). It was all cooked perfectly and the host was very attentive to make sure that nothing was burnt. The marshmallow dessert was very unique. It had an extremely silky texture but was not too sweet and not overwhelming. It was actually pretty refreshing. I would certainly come back to this place for a quick dinner. Our host told us that their busy hours are 6-8PM and their busiest day is Saturday.

    Was influenced by all the IG Reels and TikToks that featured this mouth-watering sushi + BBQ spot and had to check it out! Sushi and steak are my bf's top 2 foods so this has easily become one of our favorite spots. We came a couple of Saturdays ago, and were sat at the first private booth upon entering. Love the privacy and the isolation from other diners. I went with the Omakase ($88) since I wanted more sushi than meat, and my bf went with the Sushi & Yakiniku combo ($88) since he wanted more meat than sushi. Clearly we still wanted to try both, and this was the perfect medium for us. The yakiniku comes with a bunch of sides (salad, kimchi, pickled radish, etc.) and we were so pleasantly surprised when we were asked if we wanted refills. Free unlimited sides y'all! And they are all so refreshing and delicious. I was also surprised to find that I really liked the monkfish liver (ankimo). It was so much tastier than it sounds. The sushi was extremely fresh and fantastic. That last bite of the toro-uni (I think it was) was *chef's kiss*. Bf loved his grilled meats. I tried a few pieces and it took a lot of self-control to not take his entire dinner. A couple things that were a bit underwhelming were the Yuzu drink and the cheesecake dessert. I'm not a fan of dessert anyway, and only ate some because it came with the set. Definitely wouldn't go out of my way for that, but this can be overlooked. I'd return for the main experience for sure.

    Hiyake omakase aka gyu ichiro on bowery was honestly terrible. My coworkers stumbled upon their post about $49 AYCE japanese bbq and sushi and was intrigued. To further entice customers to come, they offer free lobsters for those who share their restaurant links on wechat. We made reservations on father's day for a party of 15. They seated us at different tables, but they were fairly close to each other so that was fine. There is a 2 hour limit for AYCE and it is completely server-free to order. There is an ipad at every table and you can pick whatever you want and submit it to the kitchen. Even though it was fathers day, it was not too busy within the restaurant. We started looking through the menu via the ipad and to our demise, the options were scarce. The beef options include about 8 different types of cuts and there were only a couple of items per section. We decided to order one of each to see which cut of meat we would like best. The order was placed and the first round of items came out nice and quick. We obviously wanted the free lobsters too, so we posted their link on out wechats. To our disappointment, they made our entire party of 15 post on wechat and later told us there were no more lobsters left. Instead, we had to settle for raw oysters. The oysters were not good at all. It was fishy and had a lot of dirt in the oysters. When we placed our order for the 2nd and 3rd rounds, this is where things started to spiral way down hill. About half of the order we placed never came and the sushi we ordered took way too long to come. Most of their sashimi were not fresh- they were fishy! It takes the workers a while to change your grills and to get the orders out. You would assume that the service would be way quicker being that we order our own meals via the ipad. Orders were either mixed up or forgotten. Our meals after tax and tip came out to be about $70 per person. Save your money and go to gyu kaku instead. They have premium meats, more food selections, and better customer for a cheaper price!!!

    Enjoyed a delicious dinner at this incredibly ambient setting. It was a weekday night early so had no trouble getting a table. Our waiter ended up grilling all the food for us which he said they sometimes do when not too busy. Talk about service! First bite was a Monkfish Liver that was quite yummy, followed by four delicious pieces of sushi - my favorites were the salmon and toro. Next they brought out some miso soup and Japanese salad, a welcome dish given the cold evening. Then to our surprise he place a huge wood box on the table stuffed with lobster, beef, pineapple, pork cheek, and other yummy bites for grilling. Everything was super good. The restaurant setting is really amazing - booths are semi-private rooms so great for privacy. Everything is very sleek - very polished setting. Service was fantastic. I highly recommend.

    Pretty disappointed that it wasn't as good as it could potentially be. It's a cool concept but it lacks quality greatly. We love sushi and was going to just do that but good thing we decided omakase and yakiniku. The akino was marinated well and tasted good. The miso soup was also good. It had a nice smokey flavor. The 4 pieces of sushi came out after. All 4 of the sushi had a weird slimey texture and the rice was fairly moist. It didn't taste that fresh either. I didn't feel well the rest of the night. The meats were a bit better. The server cooked our meats for us and was attentive to our needs. The skirt steak was oddly more buttery than the other marbled cut meats. The pork was delicious. The lobster wasn't too bad. The garlic butter made it good. No shade, but the pineapple tasted more fresh than the sushi. The dessert was runny. I don't even know what it was supposed to be. In summary, I don't think it's worth it really. I've have better omakase for this price or less. Maybe the yakiniku is a better choice.

    Hiyake is not a typical Omakase place, unlike other places in the r city they offers more than just sushi Omakase but also offers Japanese style BBQ. You could sit on the chef counter if you choose to only have Omakase, if you want BBQ they have private booth with grill. Both Omakase and combo are $88 pretty affordable price for the amount of food they are offering. We had the combo because I want to try their bbq as well. It came with miso soup, monkfish liver app. Some other small garnish dishes. And four pieces of sushi and the box of meat in a chest. There are very good amount of food so you don't leave hungry. The BBQ comes with pork cheek, shirk steak, short ribs, chunk flap tails, half lobster and some veggie. Meat are really fresh when they come out. The Omakase only have four pieces for a taste but hey are very large pieces and thick cut of fish very generous portion. We came on a weekday evening so it was pretty empty. We had one waiter for ourselves who grilled the entire meal for us. Great service.

    I stopped by here the other night, the food was really good. I got the Omakase/Japanese BBQ combo, It had 4 pieces of Sushi, Various pieces of meat and vegetables for the Bbq, Lobster and Pudding with Matcha powder on it. The Sushi melted in your mouth, the meat was tender, the pudding with Matcha was a really tasty dessert. The service was a little slow at times, but overall the experience was a winner. Will go to again if I am in the area.

    What a way to start my birthday! Hiyake Omakase was my first Japanese bbq experience and I really enjoyed it! What we got: Sushi & Yakiniku We chose to get the sushi with yakiniku option which included monkfish liver, pickled jalapeños, miso soup, salad(which was very delicious!) 4 chef's choice omakase pieces, meat and seafood for grilling, and a marshmallow pudding for dessert! We enjoyed every single part of the combination! They also have this in-house plum sauce and seasoning, which elevated each bite. Besides the food, our waiter Sharon was very welcoming and asked us how we like the meat cooked, which she cooked to perfection!

    $48 adults $28 child - but if your child's height is below 110cm it's free!!!! I always wanted to try when it opened and now it is changed to a buffet from omakase ! The BBQ meat was actually very good I was surprised! I have been to all the bbq/hotpot stores in Chinatown and Korean buffet BBQ. Gyu Ichiro - The meat was very good quality for the price! For BBQ Toro beef and house cut & rib was the highlight we ordered again and again. For sushi - hamachi was so good, the rest was decent. They have Takoyaki which was good and next time we wanted to try seafood pancakes too! For a picky person to actually like the buffet meat is rare. The only BBQ buffet I haven't tried is wagyu beef in Ktown. The server was very patient & attentive and took a pic of us with lots of patience too! My daughter very much enjoyed the eel & sushi & house cut beef.

    Combination of omakase and bbq?! Sign me up. The interior is super cute with lots of booths for seating and they also have a counter area in the front. We did the combination one for both omakase and bbq. When the servers brought out the sushi they didn't really explain the fish and set it down. For one of the appetizers that came with the omakase meal it was literally takoyaki hahaha. They also cooked the meats for us but forgot to give us dipping sauce and I felt like the meat was not seasoned at all and also become a bit too chewy. Overall they said they were still new so things were still under works. Dessert was strawberry mochi. The service was good though because they kept coming by to see if we needed anything.

    When I first came here for their soft opening. At the time their quality for the fish was not that good. If I wrote a review then it would have been . Their bbq is okay nothing special the dessert was a hard rice cake. Their combo with sushi is okay. Disappointing. But I came back with two different times to try again the omakase. Both times the omakase the fish quality was a lot different and fresher. For this reason they are a lot better. When they first started they did not have enough customers so the fish was around longer. But now that it's busier the fish is fresher when they have to get more shipments.

I used to make it a requirement to visit Ichiran every time I came to New York, but this time I'm so glad I decided to revisit Tonchin. The noodles were thick and perfectly chewy the way I like it. And the broth was rich in a way that was almost milky, and not just a bowl of broth and salt like your typical American ramen chain restaurants.

We tried the miso pork loin and the half pork/half chicken curry katsu. Both were delicious, and very enjoyable. The katsu is very crispy and well made; the meat inside is very moist. For every entree, you have the option of choosing set A (miso soup with pork and vegetable, potato salad, shredded cabbage) or set B (miso soup and shredded cabbage). There was nothing special about the vegetable and pork soup and potato salad so I would recommend set B. At every table, there are a variety of condiments - salad dressing for the cabbage, spice powder, tonkatsu sauce, and soy sauce. I would definitely come back here if I am craving katsu. Service: Service was phenomenal. The restaurant was packed and very busy, but our server was still very attentive and always available if we needed something. Very friendly! Ambiance: The restaurant is not big but can accommodate both large and small groups. Space is a bit tight, but the seating is still comfortable. They have counter seating as well as tables in the back. During peak dinner time, there was a little bit of a wait and a line near the door; the place is very popular. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are craving tonkatsu!
