Always love this place. Go early as no reservations for this location and it gets PACKED. Slightly limited menu at lunch ca dinner but you still get everything you could want! Always busy but some of the best food you could ever have. Any of their locations are great but this is the one i go to the most. They are also great at not rushing people during the meal but everyone is cognizant that there is usually a line of people waiting for a seat. Highly recommend truly some of the best Japanese food ever.
Fantastic selection of traditional Japanese foods. A little pricey for what you get. But delicious...esp the fish
This review is specifically for their lunch onigiri counter. I first came upon this at a Japan Fes that accompanied the annual Japan Parade. They have a seasonal ebi onigiri that is delicious. On top of a tasty filling, the onigiri is covered in bits of tempura, giving it a light, crunchy bite. I really hope that they keep this flavor around!
Very presentable location, really makes you feel in Japan. Food is always fresh and takes time to prepare. Stop in if you have an hour or more, good things come to those who wait!
The chawanmushi is great, must recommend.

Always come here when I’m in the city. Great food, decently priced, great service and the setting is just right. I have yet to try everything on the menu but everything by has been delicious so far. Be sure to get reservations or it’s going to be an hour + wait. Or just get there when they open for early lunch.
Their famous rice is just amazing! I got Katsu Toji Set. Super tasty. I finished everything!
Went on a weekday for dinner. Party over 2 needs some wait. They are very busy! For a weekday lunch it’s a bit pricy.

Honestly me and my mother really enjoyed this spot (also we are Japanese so trust me we are a little judgmental when it comes to Japanese food). Pretty pricey— but it’s sushi in Times Square so to be expected. The atmosphere is fun and good service.
I came here a few minutes after opening and was able to be seated immediately on the counter top (in front of the kitchen, really nice seat), but the tables were already gone. I ordered the tonkatsu curry set for lunch and it was really good, definitely among the best katsu I’ve had in NYC so far despite a few pieces being a bit dry. Overall it was a great experience and I’ll definitely be back!
