Disappointing experience despite the hype. The restaurant is…read morevery small, which is understandable given the area. While the staff is friendly, the service is lacking. No one came over to clear our plates even when they were full of bones and scraps. I had to finish almost my entire glass of water before the waiter finally refilled it (though he did it twice at the very end). The waitress didn't bother to help at all and was just sitting there looking at her phone multiple times. The food was also a letdown. The side dishes came out at the same time as the mains instead of while we were waiting, and the kitchen was slow. Moogoong Blossom (7/10): A bit sweet, but the flavor wasn't bad. Seasonal Salad (9/10): Refreshing and easily the best dish of the night. Norimen Wings (5/10): Only 5 pieces, served on a medium-sized plate that made the portion look sad. They were dry and lacked any sauce. It tasted like regular fried chicken rather than Korean fried chicken. It was crispy, but nothing more. Shrimp Gochujang Pasta (8/10): Good flavor. I didn't find it spicy, though my friends did. Jjimdak (1/10): A very big portion, but way too sweet and salty. I also didn't like how the chicken and wings were cooked in this dish either. I expected traditional rice cakes, but there were only a few fried ones on top like the photo I showed here. It looked completely different from the menu picture. Huge disappointment.

I am not sure if going to Chinatown to eat ramen is heretical, but we stayed nearby and my daughter…read morewas done eating pizza and bagels. The honeycomb tables are really amazing to look at and make for great photos, though they aren't very ergonomic for sitting against. We had karage and a spicy and a regular tonkatsu ramen and enjoyed our lunch. They have Ramune-- a Japanese soda my daughter loves that comes in a Codd-neck bottle. The food was delicious and the service was great. If you want dessert, Matcha Cafe Maiko is on the way out.

It wasn't spicy, more on a mild side. Pork and shrimp tempura was good, the pork had bone, but was flavorful paired with the shrimp. Service is quick. There is a call button if you need anything further Will be back to try the daily specials.

The food at Yakiniku Gen was good but a bit expensive. We ordered the Premium Assorted Beef, Wagyu,…read morebibimbap and cold noodles. Everything was tasty. Unfortunately, the service was by far the worst I've experienced in NYC. The restaurant was about 40% full but service was incredibly slow. We had to ask for water three times and the check three times. The table next to us even had to shout across the restaurant for assistance. After our third request for the check, someone came over to clear our table instead of bringing the bill. I eventually got up and grabbed a water carafe myself because no one was paying attention. Such a shame because we'd go back for the food if the service wasn't so terrible. Lastly, check your receipt carefully. We found multiple upcharges that didn't match the menu prices and had to ask for them to be corrected.

Hiyake Omakase offers both an omakase (3 apps and 10 pieces of nigiri) and a Japanese BBQ, but, if…read moreyou're indecisive, you can opt for a Combo! We went for the combo, which included 6 pieces of sushi, wagyu short rib, skirt steak, chuck flap tail, seafood, and A5 wagyu ribeye. You can also order nigiri a la carte. From the omakase, the short rib and the A5 wagyu ribeye were the preferred meats; the skirt steak and the chuck flap tail were forgettable, and the seafood could have been fresh. This also went for the sushi set, which we most likely should have just stuck with the meats. Staff was friendly, and the interior was cute - the modern counter area, and the hanging of the Japanese lanterns in the hallway was a nice touch. +stick with the meats

My friend and I came on Sunday evening. I had called ahead and made a reservation for a private…read morebooth but after entering the restaurant I realized that the reservation was not necessary because there was not too many people around. We were taken to our booth as soon as we walked in. Our first booth was right across from the bathroom so I asked to be reseated and they brought us to a different booth right away. My friend and I ordered the $88/per person omakase/bbq combo. The meal started with a nice large bowl of salad, edamame and miso soup. The salad was delicious and the miso soup had a wonderful flavor. Afterwards, they brought out a small bowl of monkfish liver in a nice light broth. It was an absolutely nice treat. The omakase was unfortunately only 4 pieces of fish but they were all fresh and delicious. Afterwards, one of the servers came by and helped us cook an assortment of meat and veggies. The meat was displayed beautifully and was also of great quality. Our server was in a pretty grouchy mood which was unfortunate. However, speed of service throughout the meal was very efficient. All in all, though the food quantity was pretty small, the quality was nice and it was a fun, one time experience.

KAITZEN ZUSHI is fun and delicious! I enjoyed my meal here,…read moreand I ordered à la carte. Next visit I shall enjoy the ALL YOU CAN EAT LUNCH OR DINNER! KAITZEN is Pronounced like: "Kite"- "Zen". It means revolving, a staff member told me. It's a fun meal because you order from a tablet, and your food is delivered to you on a conveyor belt. A bot/robot delivers closed drinks, such as a can of soda or bottled beverage. There are human staff members to help you. You can summon for service in the tablet. So, when I wanted to know what was inside the ocean roll, or green dragon roll, I summoned a server, and asked for the details. The server brought me a laminated detailed menu description, which was GREAT!! Loved it! I just tapped away on the tablet, and in a few minutes my sushi arrived via conveyor belt. I love this . See my videos. My first visit was March 2026. I enjoyed everything I ordered , see my photos and videos. I look forward to my next visit, and many after that.

Came here on a Friday night with a party of 3, and had a good time…read more There is a strict 90 minute dine in policy and one person in our party was running late, we ended up sitting at the individual seats with iPad devices to order your sushi choices of nigiris, handrolls, rolls, and sides. We choose the all you can eat option, and there was a promo for 50% off wheat beer during our dinner. When ordering, it was 4 items at a time and pieces come fairly fast. There is a notification that alerts you when your order is in it's way on the conveyor belt. If you order a non-alcoholic drink, a robo server will bring the drink over to you. Food was decent and I really enjoyed the handrolls! The nigiri was tasty and there were interesting combos of nigiris to choose from, like torched salmon with mayo. For sides, there were cold appetizers like kani salads and hot dishes like ramen to choose from. Overall, I think it's a really good deal for conveyor belt sushi enthusiasts.

- overall rating: 3.5 - since the closure of minca I've…read morebeen on a mission to find a proper replacement - recommend: signature bone marrow ramen, tuna tartar - the tuna tartar is stunning in appearance, a little difficult to scoop out w the crackers but worth the effort - very flavorful, lots of depth to the broth, not rich as I was expecting but in a good way - the pork was fork tender - wasn't a fan of their noodles, no chew/spring; just fell short compared to the rest of the bowl - added an egg which was cooked perfectly but the marinade was overly sweet for my taste - the set up of the restaurant itself is a bit odd, almost has a pop up feel vs an actual establish; open to the lobby elevators of the hotel and adjacent to the sports bar next door

It's inside a hotel which we figured was a great sign because it's open later than other places. Upon entering we noticed it also has a bar feel which we enjoyed because there was a baseball game going on which we wanted to watch. The menu also stood out because the type of ramen sold here is not typical of traditional places. The deserts were also not traditional but everything was extremely tasty. My favorite was the bone broth soup which I was very impressed with. The service was awesome I yapped all night long with the servers because they were so relatable that I just wanted to talk to them! I love places where people are naturally friendly, talkative and helpful. Would definitely be back if I'm in the area.

We made a last-minute reservation (literally 20 minutes before arriving!), so when we got there, they weren't expecting us but they graciously pulled everything together for us, which we really appreciated. There's a speakeasy-style bar downstairs, and the bartender was friendly and welcoming. It's definitely a fun way to start the evening. The omakase experience itself was phenomenal. The ambiance was relaxed and enjoyable, with a cool, low-key vibe. Sing, the host, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He guided us through the evening and kept our sake glasses full the entire time. While the food itself wasn't mind-blowing, the overall experience more than made up for it. The energy, the service, and the atmosphere all worked together to make the night feel special. We'd absolutely come back again.
