This place was great!…read more We love sushi, and we are so glad we found this spot. I was in the area and was looking for a good spot for dinner. I'm so glad I found this restaurant. We were seated in the back private room because the front room was packed. We watched them make all of the rolls, as we were right at the sushi bar, where all of the food was being made. We had bang bang sushi, edamame and I had their orange blossom roll. This was the freshest sushi I've ever had. It was amazing. We'll definitely be back!

When I asked, the guy said they don't really include tofu in their soup. Clean bathroom. Street parking. Parking app didn't work and needed change. I will check it out again. Maybe takeout.

**Taste** The…read morehamburg steak was so good. It was juicy, packed with flavor, and definitely lived up to the hype. The sides were also really tasty and paired well with the steak, making the whole set feel balanced. At $24, it's not cheap, but that's pretty standard for NYC, so I wasn't surprised. **Service** The service was great. Our host took our order right away and gave us a heads up that the hamburg steak takes a little longer to cook, which I appreciated since I knew what to expect. My only small complaint is that I wish my water had been refilled more often. Other than that, it was a really smooth dining experience.

This place specializes in Japanese hamburg steaks, which, for those who are not aware (like me…read morebefore coming here), is basically just a thick burger patty. I got the original hamburg steak which actually contains both beef and pork with the gorgonzola white cream sauce and kinoko baby bell mushrooms. The steaks come in a set with other sides including white rice, miso soup, salad, chawanmushi (steamed egg), and a scoop of mashed potato. It was $23 + $2 for the mushroom topping for all of this food (which I couldn't even finish), so I'd say the value is pretty good. The steak was good and juicy, although to be honest, not sure if it's better than in the normal burger form. The gorgonzola white cream sauce dominated the flavor profile a bit, though it was pretty good if you like cheesy sauces. They make it clear on the menu that it takes 20 min to prep the steaks, which was an accurate estimate. The staff were fairly friendly although I thought they could've been a bit more attentive. The restaurant is situated on River Road, which is quite a busy street with limited street parking at times. There is a decent amount of seating inside though and the place has a chill clean environment. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, but it wasn't quite impressive enough to warrant a full 5 stars, especially with the prep time. That being said, I would still definitely recommend it if you are in the area and interested in trying a hamburg steak.

Another great dinner at Mirak…read more We had sushi & sashimi combo for two ($140) which comes with salad, miso soup, and a special roll. If you love sushi & sashimi without the typical Korean style table full of appetizers, this is THE place. I usually go right for the sushi and sashimi and not a fan of whole variety of appetizers, so yes, we are regulars here and it's BYOB !!! The combo for two can actually satisfy three people and it definitely is more than enough for two. Worth the $140. They also have Korean food from the menu, so I have seen many Asians having sushi and sashimi, and kids having typical Korean dishes. You won't regret it !!!!

There's also a sizable food court where you can grab a variety of Japanese dishes and sit at communal tables to eat. When I visited, the grocery store had food samplings throughout, which made browsing even more fun. The produce and seafood sections had some particularly unique offerings you don't normally see in typical supermarkets. There are also aisles for beer, sake, wine, and other alcohol. Self-checkout was easy, and while the place can get insanely busy overall, it's a really fun place to explore if you visit during off-peak times.

This restaurant is so outstanding that it shines all on its own. Located on a very unglamorous busy avenue, you would never expect a Michelin quality meal awaits. But once inside, you fall down the rabbit hole into what feels like a private party that you were lucky enough to score a invite. Everyone sits at the 10 seat counter, and the chef/master of ceremonies is at the center. The chef and staff chat with all the diners, and establish a warm atmosphere. Then begins the show. The chef prepares and delivers 17 courses that are of the absolute highest quality and skill. Every dish was stunning. I dare you to show me a better omakase dining experience in NYC, where it would be triple the price. I left here feeling like I had just woken from a dream. Definitely my favorite dining experience in several years.
