    It's a small and casual omakase with friendly staff. We enjoyed the menu which was nicely portioned, fresh and tasted great. At the end we got an add on. The kawa special is a lot but was delicious and decadent! The ocean kiss was also a fun surprise and burst of gold dust!

    Made a 6:15pm reservation at Kawa to celebrate my wife on Mother's Day. We were greeted by Ryan (manager) & Tony (chef) as they began our omakase experience. We ordered a bottle of Dassai 45 (a Junmai-daiginjo) chilled sake. A terrific smooth sake with a melon essence. We enjoyed a 14 course omakase made just for us exclusively for us (I guess folks were cooking for their mom's at home?) The standouts for us were the black cod with yuzu pepper sauce, the maguro (lean tuna) & wasabi, the red snapper bite was outstanding as was the sea bream. The restaurant interior is located below street level with a simple contemporary design. Black stone countertops & a brightly light white brick wall behind the chef's sushi station make for a stark contrast and a clean, sharp looking space. Ryan and Tony were exceptionally attentive and consistently smiling. Ryan insisted on kindly pouring our sake and refilling our waters. Both gentlemen asked for feedback & seemed genuinely appreciative. We were absolutely shocked this hidden gem was all ours for the two hours we were there...I'm certain we won't enjoy that exclusive experience at Kawa Omakase again! I highly recommend a visit & we'll certainly be back. Oh...I failed to mention, where else will you find a well executed 14 course omakase menu for $88/pp in Manhattan? Enjoy!

    Went here yesterday for a girls night dinner for my birthday, chef Tony and our waiter Ryan did not disappoint! We had the 6:15 reservation completely to ourselves which selfishly I loved because we were able to ask chef Tony about the fish, get candid photos and even listen to whatever music we wanted! We brought 2 bottles of wine, there's a $20 corking fee per bottle and the omakase was 14 courses $88. I've gone to a few omakase spots. This one is perfect if you have never done it before or eating with someone who is hesitant on sushi because it has all the basics salmon, tuna, yellow tail, wagyu, red snapper, cod, etc. It's not overly experimental with flavors but just enough where each piece is a really nice bite.

    Best meal and best experience of my life! The vibes are perfect and cozy. Chef Tony and his Wife are the sweet humans in the world. I was in awe at every single thing I put in my mouth. Chef Tony noticed my reactions to everything and at the end made me an extra of my favorite, so sweet! Highly highly recommend

Niku and gyunan were divine. In the niku, they somehow managed to make the tripe and beef tendon immensely flavorful and tender without being heavy-handed. The fatty beef in the gyunan was crack with the sesame chili oil. The bonito base soup was somehow savory and full-bodied while also being sweet and light, so even though I was about to burst it didn't feel icky. Nothing to note in appetizer land besides the fact that I finally tried monkfish liver and it literally tasted like a salmon-flavored paté. Both surprised and relieved it tasted so normal. Despite the long wait time, it still felt relatively spacious inside, and even with just two people, we got our own booth!

Service was really good and they checked in on us a lot.

But at last, as I searched on DoorDash I stumbled upon this glorious restaurant they call Izakaya Fuku. I was drawn to the adorable names for their sushi roll dishes like "Strawberry Fields" and their Italian Japanese fusion pasta dishes, "Creamy Mentaiko Bacon Pasta" with creamy mayonnaise, spicy cod roe and bacon like are you kidding me? It's a bummer I wasn't more hunger or that I didn't have more bucks in my wallet because I wanted all these dishes. And the Chirashi Don, god it looks so beautiful the way that it's arranged in the photos online. I finally decided on the carbonara. And I was drawn to the fact that it was udon based. Now, I've just been living in hawaii these past years so that Japanese twist on an Italian dish that I just love oh so much really brought me back to missing the islands and the Asian spins they had on cuisines. Now my food may have not come in a jiffy but for after midnight cravings I'd say it was well worth the wait. And my oh my the portion was huge!!!! I slurped that big boy up. It was SOOO delicious and savory. I love comfort food and this had me in carbonara heaven. I loved indulging into every single last bite. By the looks of the picture the restaurant looks lovely, I'd love to stop there and try it in person. Thank you. Thank you! My belly and my heart are very much satisfied.

Covers and unique mixes. Big menu. Too big in my opinion. We got the karrage and beef pichana steak to start. Karrage was def better of the 2. Black garlic ramen was excellent and also the carbonara udon. Ramen preferred over the udon if you had to pick . Also topped off with a Sapporo. Nice cold draft. Definitely a good late night spot. Decor fun. Service good. Food mostly hits over misses

It would've been very easy to miss unless you're specifically looking for this place. Upon entering you're greeted by the numerous Michelin guides lol, front desk seated me pretty shortly after ensuring my seat was set, I was sat at the bar where they have a scan menu. Server immediately was attentive and filled my glass with some water. I was originally going to get the Dashi ramen but after I shared I'm allergic to shrimp the server felt it was a bit risky he was very careful so I appreciated that. I got the Tokyo ramen instead and a side of shishito peppers (he also omitted the Dashi JIC). It was happy hour so the appetizer was $7 I/o $8 and I also got an Asahi draft for $8. Ramen was $22. I was very surprised the server even asked about the oil the pork and peppers are fried in JIC of cross contamination - he shared that they use the same batch of oil as frying tempura (but I was ok with that but just watch out if you're like super super sensitive). Ramen: 7/10, decent bowl but not the best I've had. Feels a bit more Americanized and I prefer authentic Japanese ramen. Soup was rich, flavor but again it's one you can find at many other ramen shops in nyc. Noodle was a bit lackluster it was a bit soggy, not springy like freshly made ramen. The pork slices are flavorful but felt it's bit thin, I prefer a good cut...but personal preference. There's 2 thicker slices of marinated bamboo and half a jammy egg topped with scallions. Decent bowl but don't think it's worth $22. Shishito peppers: nicely fried. Well seasoned. 9/10 Overall - good spot for a decent bowl of ramen in the area. Environment: clean, nothing that caught my attention with design but just minimalist style, with black hard
