My favorite Japanese restaurants in the city

Tasting menu or à la cart dinner straight out of Kyoto, bring cash.

Ishiyaki Wagyu, yakiniku bbq, sukiyaki, and shabu shabu to satisfy your grilling dreams.

Punk rock basement filled with Sake, sashimi and junk food for late night snacks.

Down a basement hallway that transports you to Japan with upscale presentation.

Sushi spot with a large menu and enough tables to walk in on most nights.

Sushi restaurant with great lunch specials.

Udon bowls too big for most to finish.

Small counter in Alphabet City with cozy vibes and delicious bites.

New location open till 3am with a full cocktail program that is great for karaage, donburi and curry bowls.

Dinner sets with a large menu of sushi and grilled options, I highly recommend the in-house fresh tofu salad to start.
