    Kakko Sushi Roll
    Morgan B.

    The first time I got this place I ordered in, it was okay, they had a great 3 roll deal. Then I found out about their speciality rolls! This made the place so worth it! We went in person and the service was fine and the place was okay not dirty but not nice either. The fish was very fresh and the speciality rolls were delicious

    Despite the average rating, we decided to drop by Nobi Sushi and it did not disappoint! Speciality sushi was great and fresh and no complaints there at all. The Kani salad was alright and could have been better, but the overall food and service were great! If you're looking for some good sushi at a decent price then stop by this place in Murray Hill.

    Good menu selection n lots of fresh ingredients. Great lunch n combo specials. Fun for Eve

    Small but cute spot. Has nice outdoor seating with plastic dividers in between tables that help make it a little more intimate. Not the warmest service but great prices on combos, dinner sets and traditional rolls. Everything was really fresh and the most affordable for quality we came across in the area. They did give us plastic cups and a styrofoam bowl that took away from a dining out experience.

    Thoroughly enjoy this place. I think they have amazing rolls with delicious and unique flavor combinations. Mmmmmm! Always hits my sushi cravings!

    Still one of the nearby affordable sushi places we regularly frequent. They currently have takeout and outdoor seating due to COVID-19. The servers are attentive and the service is fast. The maki rolls and sushi combos are fairly average. The special/chef rolls are quite creative and tasty. We ordered the Dinner Combo B (spicy tuna, salmon avocado and eel cucumber rolls) as well as the Kiss of Fire Roll and Spicy Third Avenue roll. We always leave full and satisfied.

    We've been living in Murray Hill and were lucky to find this amazing sushi place! We have been regulars since. The fish is always super fresh and delicious. My all-time favorite is Salmon Beauty roll, if you like salmon, that's definitely a must-try! Their hot entrées did not impress me as much, so I'd say - stick with the sushi. They have solid plastic dividers separating the parties in the outside area for social distancing, and they also have heaters now, with the winter approaching. Excellent money to value deal, delicious sushi at great prices! Definitely recommend

    Worst place I have ever eaten. Never ever have I been served off paper plates and given red solo cups to drink.

    This place picks and chooses who they serve fairly. The service was terrible. The food was disgusting. The only reason we ate was because we walked 25min to get there and I had my 2 kids with me. I wouldn't even give my dog this crap.

    Green tea was good
    Megan K.

    Yeaaahhhhhhh would not recommend. I came in here because they had a Yelp check in offer that I was then told was expired. Um, ok. I should have just left. The green tea was pretty much the only good thing I had. The soup was flavorless, the salad was meh, the edamame needed some more salt. I ended up leaving 5 pieces of my sushi because they were just unappetizing looking and I definitely didn't get what all I had ordered. I'd avoid and go somewhere else, my stomach was a bit queasy after.

    I had stopped by this little hole in the wall a handful of times before stopping in several months…read moreago during a cold winter day. The place was pretty quiet, and the staff was friendly. To drink, I had a Hot Organic Super Matcha Tea for 4.95. It was alright tea, and I wish teas were included in the price point, as otherwise, this place feels pretty traditional. In terms of food, I only ordered from the seasonal menu, so I'm not sure how the rest of the dishes are, but from what I had, I would go back for a light traditional meal. My appetizer was the Dashimaki Tamago/だし巻まき卵たま, or sweet savory omelet with daikon for $6.98. This came with three pieces along with a little dollop of grated radish. The pieces had a light sweetness to them along with a bit of savoriness. They were juicy and a bit bouncy while maintaining some softness. This was standard and good. My main dish was the $19.98 Beef Tan Tan Udon, or ground sirloin beef, spicy broth, baby bok choy, kikurage mushroom, scallions, and sesame seeds. While I have preferred udon from spots like Raku, the udon had a mild chew to it, and they were still good. The broth had a mix of sweetness and spiciness with a nice depth of flavor. The vegetables inside tasted fresh, and the meat added some richness. This was good as well. I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to go here, but the food was good. If you're in the area and looking for no frills Japanese dining in a more comfortable atmosphere at pretty decent Midtown East prices, I would recommend this place.

    I recently tried Tensai for dinner during the weekday and enjoyed a nice authentic Japanese udon…read more The restaurant is nestled in Midtown East NY and has several two-seater tables, but only one or two larger tables that can seat a party of 4. Very cozy restaurant and the staff were attentive and friendly. Luckily their service is very fast so my family and I didn't have to wait more than 10 minutes for a table in the back. I really enjoyed their niku udon. The broth was flavorful but not too salty. The menu offered a variety of options, all reasonably priced between $10-20, ensuring great value for the quality provided. I would come back to Tensai for some comforting Japanese udon noodles!

The décor features light natural wood and bamboo, creating a warm, authentic atmosphere, with an impressive collection of sake lining the wall. The food is outstanding. We started with the seasonal soft-shell crab, which was incredibly fresh and fried to perfection. The daily sashimi special was exceptionally fresh, and the salad was light and refreshing. The must-order Wagyu beef, served on a hot stone, simply melted in our mouths and was unforgettable. Every dish was beautifully prepared, and I enjoyed every single bite. The impeccable service was the icing on the cake. The staff was attentive throughout our meal, making sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive.

I tried a sake that is made from red rice, which was really delicious, and my wife had a sauvignon blanc, which was also really good. This is a fun place to try a bunch of Japanese small plates in a nice setting where the tables are not too crowded and the noise level is very reasonable.

We walked in around 7pm and there were plenty of tables available, but we decided to sit in the separate bar room near the entrance. That space was more intimate, with a couple of larger high-top tables, a small bar (about 4-5 seats), and additional seating along the wall, and there was also a TV. They have a good happy hour with both drink and food options. We both ordered margaritas, which needed a slight adjustment as they were made too sour, and I also tried some sake, which was a good selection. For food, I ordered the fried chicken, which was very good, crispy, flavorful, and a generous portion, served with tartar sauce ($20). We also shared edamame and a couple of yakitori skewers: the shiitake mushrooms ($6) and pork belly ($8). The mushrooms were quite bland and I did not finish them, but the pork belly looked great and my friend enjoyed it. Overall, this is a good Midtown East spot for happy hour or a casual lunch and I would return.

    On our very first day in New York, we had some time before taking the Statue of Liberty cruise…read more We originally had another restaurant in mind, but the timing did not work out, so we searched on Google and found Sozai Japanese Restaurant, which was supposed to be close to our hotel. Google said it was a 10-minute walk. But honestly... was that 10 minutes measured by someone running? It was an extremely hot day in New York, and my family and I were walking there, sweating like we were on a small survival mission. It felt more like 20 minutes or more. By the time we arrived, we were hot, tired, and very hungry. But the moment we opened the door, everything changed. The manager welcomed us with such a bright and warm smile. We told him we did not have a reservation, and he kindly said it was okay and seated us right away. That alone made us feel so much better. As soon as we sat down, we ordered cold beer and highballs. After walking in that heat, that first sip felt like pure happiness. It was exactly what we needed. My sister, my mom, and I each ordered different kinds of donburi, and my daughter ordered tonkatsu. When the food came out, I almost fainted -- in the best way possible. The rice was absolutely amazing. It was perfectly sticky, nutty, soft, and full of flavor. I know this may sound dramatic, but every grain of rice felt like it was dancing gently in my mouth. That was the moment I thought, "This is what good rice should taste like." A good donburi is not only about the toppings. The rice has to be right, and here, it was perfect. The sashimi was incredibly fresh. The texture, the flavor, the quality -- everything was excellent. Every bite made me think, "This place really knows what they are doing." My daughter's tonkatsu was also wonderful. She is a very picky eater, but she kept saying how soft, juicy, and delicious it was, especially with the sauce. When a picky child finishes everything quietly, that is the most honest review you can get. In the end, all four of us completely finished our bowls. Not a little bit. Completely. Clean. Empty. Happy. We told the manager how much we enjoyed the food, and our server was also very kind and explained everything so nicely. The food was excellent, but the warm service made the experience even more memorable. At first, we came here simply because the timing was awkward and it was near our hotel. But by the time we left, we knew we had found a place we would want to visit again. The long, hot walk was absolutely worth it. Sozai Japanese Restaurant gave our family a delicious and happy memory on our first day in New York. If I visit New York again, I will definitely come back.

    This has been on my bookmark list for a while, so I'm glad I finally got to check it out…read more The restaurant is long, dimly lit, and has plenty of seating. I ordered the Sukiyaki Udon and the Okinawa No Kaze cocktail. Both were great! The staff was friendly and attentive throughout the meal.

As a tourist traveling with my young child, my kid was severely jet-lagged and briefly closed his eyes to rest mid-meal. Unexpectedly, a server approached to tell us sleeping was not permitted inside the restaurant. I was confused by this remark, though I chose not to engage in any debate or explanation; as a Japanese visitor, I preferred to avoid confrontation. Another point of contention: the restaurant automatically adds a 20% service surcharge to every check, regardless of the quality of service received. This may simply be standard practice for dining establishments in New York, yet I personally cannot accept or agree with this policy.
