    Chef's Omakase
    Pratima M.

    Easily one of my favorite NY meals and restaurants ever -- everything was delicious and unique, plus HH deals are great! They're a sister restaurant to a Michelin-star omakase, so fish quality is amazing. Staff is super nice, made great recommendations! It's a super small spot, would recommend for 2-3 people or solo date. Personal standouts include Ceviche, Chef Sampler Nigiri (5 pieces), Apples, Fish Slider... basically everything we had. Desserts were also delicious, got both the Carrot Cake and Coconut Sorbet. I can't wait to come back!

    Rosella has been on my list for years and I finally made it on a recent Friday. My boyfriend and I walked in when they opened and were seated at the main bar. They have great happy hour specials until 6:30 PM, so we took advantage and ordered: + Spicy avocado hand roll (HH) + Ceviche (HH) + Five-piece nigiri set (HH) + fish sausage slider (HH) + Coconut milk sorbet + Miso carrot cake The highlights were the ceviche, fish sauce slider and desserts (the sushi was a little underwhelming). Service was very warm, too. Will be back for sure!

    Amazing experience at Rosella a couple of weeks ago. We were seated at the bar and served by the bartender, who was incredibly nice. The menu is small and generally consists of shareable small plates/sushi. I tried the following: Food: -Ceviche classic (salmon, persimmon, citrus, coconut milk): super tangy/citrusy dish overall (and it maybe leant a bit heavily on these flavors), but the persimmon lent a sweetness as well. This had something crunchy in it, too-- maybe corn nuts? The salmon tasted extremely fresh. -Bagels-on-Hudson (smoked trout, dill cream cheese, tamago, cucumber): I thought this sounded good but not overly exciting, but - surprise! - it was my favorite dish of the night. This roll was so delicious. The dill cream cheese, cucumber, and smoked fish really did remind me of my typical bagel order, but in sushi form. The soy sauce with mirin was also standout. -Spicy tuna (avocado, jalapeno, herbs, spicy mayo): Maybe not as amazing as the aforementioned roll, but still excellent and very fresh and vegetable-forward. The spicy sauce was really good. -Laksa ramen (spicy shrimp & chicken broth, shredded chicken): I was low-key hoping for more of an Asam laksa. While this was not that kind, it was still very tasty, with springy noodles, a seafood broth, nice spiciness, huge and delicious mushrooms, a boiled egg, and lots of mint. My only gripe was that I found it a bit too salty. -Miso carrot cake (mandarin marmalade, cream cheese frosting): SO gorgeously plated and decadent. The cake was tender and the frosting was almost impossibly light and creamy. -coconut milk sorbet: great flavor with a delicious basil oil, but I also found this to be extremely salty to the point that it was overpowering the rest of the dish. My friend liked it, though! Drinks: -Swick Wines Chillable Red- Light and easygoing. Peppery. Red fruit. -Shichi Hon Yari "Autumn Assassin" Junmai Daiqinjo: A lovely floral sake. Normally only sells by the bottle, but I was able to get a glass!

    Done in a very non traditional way but really interesting dishes! Standouts for me were the fish slider (just heavenly umami and buttery bun), sorbet (rich basil and pesto oil, very unique), and the fatty tuna kimchi roll.

    I truly don't know that I can express how enjoyable a meal this was in terms of experience. The staff is incredible and felt like we were the best of friends. They're so attentive to a degree that I'm surprised they don't have the star over their sister restaurant (not that I've been). And the layout of the restaurant works so well because you're in constant contact with someone who seems like they want to chat with you in such an intimately personable way. The food itself was astounding, even more-so than I had anticipated. It's a bit pricey but for the experience was worth it. The bagels-on-Hudson and shrimp nigiri were a must for me. The former worked so well and was such an interesting idea.

    Amazing spot with amazing service. Beautiful dishes, great wine selection, all around a total slam dunk

    Fish sausage slider - amazing!!!!

    Love this place so much! 5 star meal every time I go. This time I tried something new, the fish slider, it was so amazing I wish I could eat it everyday.

    Rosella isn't bad. It's just vastly, vastly overpriced for semi-creative Japanese fusion. Dozens of restaurants in the city can do the same thing, and many don't charge as much as Rosella does. This is sushi/Japanese designed for rich white people who can afford to travel to Japan but still can't tell you what omakase means, and the prices--and clientele--reflect that. Why else would Rosella charge $21 for a Spicy Tuna Roll? Six average-sized pieces containing nothing particularly unique besides avocado, jalapeno and spicy mayo. Oh, I forgot, they added an herb or something in there. I didn't realize dill now cost $21. We let our server order for us, and he got us almost everything on the not-very-big menu, so I can say with confidence that we tried the best that Rosella had to offer. If you want sushi--whether traditional or fusion--this is NOT the place to go, as not only are the rolls overpriced, but also there are only three options in their "Little Roll" (re: teeny-tiny 6 pieces) category, and three options in their "Big Roll" (re: average-sized 6 pieces--this ain't futomaki), and none of them are that special. You're better off trying the cold and hot dishes. I quite enjoyed the creative Ceviche, which came with scallops and kiwi, while the Crudo with monkfish liver was great. Just be prepared to fork over $23+ each for portion sizes that would be classified as snacks at other restaurants. Also, why the hell is Laksa on a Japanese fusion menu? Rosella shines best in its desserts. The Miso Carrot Cake was moist, fragrant and beautiful to behold, while the creamy Coconut Sorbet came mixed with ginger and lemongrass with a lovely basil drizzle. Get these, whatever else you do. Bottom line: Rosella will undoubtedly appeal to hype-following foodies who blindly spend on omakases while having no actual idea what omakase means. For true sushi, Japanese and general food aficionados, the main impression it will leave is a dent in your wallet.

    This place was a lot of fun. The food was really good. The ceviche, crudo pesto, and xo grits were fantastic. Really fun to share but the portion sizes were a bit small. The rolls were very good, specifically the amberjack and ramps(which we ate so fast that we forgot to take a photo of). The soy sauce is fantastic here as well. The service here was very good. The waiters were very nice and gave good suggestions about ordering. The place itself has a nice cozy vibe and the outside area was also very pleasant. A bit cold outside but the heating lamp right above the table did a great job of keeping us warm.

    Pickled mussels sushi
    Vito S.

    The food was delicious. Extremely savory. Very different than the normal sushi that I've had. You can tell everything is made with care in house. We were very full from the depth of flavor in each dish. The pickled mussels sushi was scrumptious. The service was full of attention and care for our satisfaction. I'll be here again.

    This was one amazing culinary experience. Reservations were full but we walked in at 5pm on a Wednesday and got seated at the window with a nice view of Tompkins Square Park. Our friendly and knowledgable server Michael curated an exquisite offering of deliciousness for my wife and me who are not very adventurous when it comes to food. The ceviche was out of this world. We chatted with Chef Jeff and Sous-chef Maija who were working in the middle of the room but took the time to come by and check on us. It was an outstanding evening and the highlight of our trip to NYC!

    This place really is excellent. The service is great, and the environment inside is super nice bar seating throughout the restaurant I tried the chefs experience, he brought me a bunch of stuff and everything was VERY good. I am not exaggerating when I say I tried nearly everything on the menu today & NOTHING was bad. The food was EXCELLENT. The best dish by far was the grits - so much flavor The fish slider was also super super good The spicy avocado hand roll is ELITE as well. I say go in with an open stomach and open mind and you'll be amazed. Strongly recommend.

    Pretty spectacular sushi with a bit of a twist. Rosella comes from alumnus of Uchiko, a famed sushi restaurant from Austin (and one of my favorite restaurants ever), so I had to check it out. Our server was great with helping us navigate the menu since it's a little different from most sushi restaurants. Highlight of the day was probably the pickled mussel nigiri but everything we had was delicious. Overall, highly recommended for those who love sushi but want to tread off the beaten path.

We ordered three dishes that I had either enjoyed before or was familiar with: Wuxi Pork Ribs: The ribs were quite decent, tender and juicy, with a nicely balanced sauce. But there was nothing particularly memorable about them. The menu says the secret recipe has been passed down through generations for more than 110 years, but I found that claim hard to reconcile with what was on the plate. Slow-roast a slab of pork ribs for four hours at 250°F, I can get a very similar result at home. Famous Assorted Bowl: This used to be one of my favorite dishes here, and I ordered it almost every time I visited. Unfortunately, this time it was a real disappointment. The ingredients no longer tasted freshly prepared, well-seasoned, or flavorful. Instead, much of the dish had the bland, slightly lifeless quality of previously frozen food. Even the shrimp in the soup did not taste particularly fresh. Boiled Shredded Dry Bean Curd with Chicken and Shrimp: This is a classic Yangzhou dish and another item I used to order regularly. In the past, the bean-curd sheets were cut into extremely fine threads, with a soft and delicate texture that absorbed the flavor of the broth beautifully. This time was completely different. The bean-curd threads were hard and dry, with the texture of a packaged frozen product, and they had absorbed almost none of the broth's flavor. What had once been a delicate, carefully prepared dish now tasted surprisingly flat. Overall, Tipsy Shanghai used to be a restaurant I returned to for several specific dishes. However, both the quality of the ingredients and the care in preparation seem to have declined noticeably.

The restaurant is near my friend's place. The place was exactly what we were looking for... Inexpensive, cozy and comfortable atmosphere! The place was a little busy, and didn't take reservations, but we were seated immediately. Amazing service and delicious food! The food was fresh and came out fast. Portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry. My favorite dish was the Signature Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup, which was delicious and flavorful, and also gluten free, dairy free and soy free. Others had something else I had no interest in to remember the name. Their menu has many options to offer, including gluten free, soy free, and dairy free options. We would come back again and highly recommend you check out this place if you are in Murray Hill Manhattan.

However, the other dishes are not particularly memorable. The skewer meat was tough and difficult to chew through, while the burger had a mushy texture and lacked distinct flavor. ​The service is standard for a quick-service noodle shop; the staff isn't overtly helpful or friendly, but they aren't inhospitable either. Stick strictly to the wide noodle dishes if you decide to visit.

    Had walked by a few times but a on post gym Trader Joe's run the pictures were enticing enough…read more Got a Lanzhou beef noodle combo with a drink and a lamb burger. The beef soup is clear and light and the noodles have a delightful texture, with a slight chew and good bounce. There's a good portion of braised beef as well. Tender but a bit fatty for my taste, but given the portion it's not going to kill you. Lamb burger ended up as overkill and will be consumed as leftovers but a quick sampling let me know that it's gamey and fatty with strong notes of cumin. Not a bad thing, but something to note for people that might not generally enjoy lamb or cumin. Black pepper beef rice bowl was solid too. Spice wise, you can calibrate accordingly but I'd recommended at least their regular spice level. Decent amount of tenderized but still chewy beef. Both dishes came with a salad of celery, carrot, cucumber, peanuts and seaweed strips in a light sauce. Couldn't quite figure out the sauce but it was lightly tart and refreshing. Space is clean and modern. Neutral wood, well lit. Service is friendly enough. If you dine in, you order at the kiosk and they'll deliver to your table. We had leftovers that they graciously packed up. Solid choice. I hope they stick around as they do bring a different cuisine to the area.

    True Japanese gem. Tried a few that were mentioned in the reviews by others and did not disappoint…read more Blue fin tuna w avocado 5:5 -- The scallion broke down the acidity of the sauce and blended the pieces of blue fin more flavorfully. Keep in mind this is blue fin tuna, not fatty tuna. Fried chicken 6/5 -- Yes, if there was a 6. Very tasty and well cooked - had a side of not very spicy sauce. Good portion. Flavored with salt, pepper and tangy sweet chili Thai sauce. Although the salt was is a bit too salty for my tongue, but will be excellent w beer/sake or rice. Salmon with Apple yuzu 4/5 -- It was good but the amount of apple yuzu sauce added too much acidity in enhancing the flavor of the raw salmon. Though salmon was fresh, the sauce broke down the salmon a bit too much for me. Served with grounded pepper. Will definitely return to try other dishes for dinner.

And when I say something is salty that's saying something cause I LOVE salt. What I like others usually say is too salty and so for me to complain about salty is probably on another level for regular customers. I will say I did enjoy the cold noodles and my wife enjoyed the chicken you noodles so again it wasnt horrible but I was a bit disappointed.

    The first time my friend brought me here, I thought the ramen didn't impress me the way a Michelin…read morerestaurant should have. But maybe because I tried the Smoke Dashi Ramen and the smoked fish oil did not appeal to me at all. 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. It barely knocks Ichiran off the top of my list for ramen in the US. However, as good as the chashu was, it wasn't as delicate as Ichiran does it. Nevertheless, I haven't had such an enjoyable meal in a while. #384

Menu was a QR code and within 15 minutes my appetizer and ramen was delivered. Ordered: -Tsukune chicken and pork bun This was delicious! The Karachi coleslaw paired well with the teriyaki sauce which also calmed the sweet taste. Tonkatsu Tokyo Classic Ramen - This was good, but as a ramen fan, I think it could of been slightly better - Broth was definitely good with a bold salty taste - Chashu was soft, thinly cut and not chewy. However, I'm a seared chasu type guy, but each their own. - I did not add additional side items to the ramen besides what garnishes already come with the bowl. - Overall Tonkatsu Ramen was normal Next time I'm in town, I will be back to try the Tan Tan ramen and other appetizers next!
