Conveniently located inside Hudson yards, this small but cozy restaurant serves temaki sets, donburi bowls, Maki, and so much more. Service is friendly and the place is very clean. We arrived for lunch after attending the New York Auto show. There were no tables available, so we were seated at the bar.

We ordered the set of 5 temaki sets which came with fluke, yellowtail, salmon, bluefin tuna, and torched shrimp. They were all nicely presented and quite tasty. Not quite as fresh and flavorful as other restaurants I've been to but worth a try.

Overall, if you want something quick and fun, this is a great place. It won't leave you feeling full but that's ok. Just expect wit of you go on the weekends as it is quite small.

Convenient airport right next to the airport. Our flight got canceled and then was rescheduled for the next day so this was perfect for us. It was quite pricey though and not something we would normally pay but we were desperate and tired. The good thing about it is that there is an underground tram from the airport directly to the hotel. You can walk there too in the same tunnel but we were sure how safe it would be. But as we were riding the tram, the tunnel is well lit and there was 1 or 2 people walking.

As for the room, it was your typical room, not much special. Due to our luggage being checked in for our flight, we were very limited with what we had. We did call down and ask for hotel slippers and they said that someone would bring it right up, but no one showed up at all. This was very disappointing as I was expecting a lot from a Marriott hotel. We would of called back but it was late already and we were extremely tired from a long day.

I was actually very surprised by how well insulated the room was with keeping the noise out. Being right next to the airport, we did not hear any planes at all.

In the morning, we tried their breakfast buffet which consisted of the normal eggs, sausages, premade omelet or freshly made omelet, cereal, bagels, muffins, fresh fruit, etc. It was quite nice but for the $28 price, extremely overpriced.

If you don't mind the $200/night price, this is a decent place with a nice outdoor pool in the courtyard. I only gave it 1 star deduction for the missing room slippers.

Plenty of choices for you to choose from, hot pot, ramen, skewers, etc. We opted for hot pot, choosing the tomato hot pot and coconut curry hot pot. Both were good but on the salty side. The tomato had a rich tomato flavor with fish filets and plenty of vegetables. This is good for vegetarians. The coconut curry hot pot was a rich creamy flavor due to the coconut cream.

We went around 7 on a Wednesday night thinking it would be busy but we were the first ones in there. They weren't ideally busy at all which was surprising. 2 staff were working and were very quick to respond when we needed something.

This is a good hang out spot with friends or to take a date. Music was playing in the background and tvs playing cooking shows. Overall, great place to go if you are craving hot pot. They allay have teas as well.

Lunch buffet at just around $15/ person, you can't go wrong. Staff are friendly and service is great. We were the first to arrive on a weekday so it was great to have the whole restaurant to ourselves. Almost all the dishes were out and after the first plate, the remainder were brought out. The waiter was nice enough to bring us some garlic Naan since there weren't any during our first round.

Everything was fresh and tasted great. My favorite was the Tikka masala as it was creamy and paired well with the rice. It also made a a great dipping sauce for the Naan. The mixed vegetables were also quite tasty. Other items were curry chicken, chicken tandoori, Chick pea medley just to name a few.

Overall, would revisit again and would recommend. Place is clean and tidy so you can't go wrong.
