Ushiwakamaru
136 Houston St., Greenwich Village, NYEveryone has their favorite sushi spot, and if you ask us, your go-to destination says a lot about you. Sushi of Gari is your joint? You either have too much money or moved here from LA. You’re a Blue Ribbon person? You probably go on a lot of dates. Too many dates. Nobu is still [...]

Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill
308 W. 58th St., Columbus Circle, NYBlue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill is kind of a ridiculous concept on paper – a Frankenstein fusion of Blue Ribbon Brasserie and Blue Ribbon Sushi in a Thompson Hotel lobby. We’re huge fans of the Blue Ribbon brand, especially the brasserie and sushi outposts. We’re not huge fans of Midtown, especially Midtown hotel restaurants. [...]

Takahachi
85 Ave. A, East Village, NYTakahachi, we wish you delivered. On second thought, it’s better that you don’t, otherwise I might never leave my apartment.

Nobu 57
40 W. 57th St., Midtown, NYBefore last week, it had been a while since we visited this Midtown location of the ever sprawling Nobu empire. Why? Well, partly because all of my extra cash has been tied up in the market (I spent it) but also because coming to this location is like participating in a focus group on the [...]

Nagomi
179 Prince St., SoHo, NYOK so that isn’t really a photo of Nagomi, but I couldn’t find any real pictures of the restaurant and decided to buy this gem off a stock photo site instead. It was labeled “young attractive couple dating”, which is curious, considering that none of those people look particularly young or attractive. I kind of [...]

Sushi Azabu
428 Greenwich Street, Tribeca, NYSushi Azabu is one of those places that we’d been trying to get to forever, but has always seemed to elude us for one reason or another. It’s one of New York’s true hidden restaurants – a Tokyo-style sushi bar with no more than 25 seats in the basement of the Greenwich Grill in Tribeca. [...]

Matsuri
369 W 16th St., Chelsea, NYTake a look at our La Bottega review, and you’ll see a great example of a restaurant that is surprisingly better than it probably needs to be just due to location and the strength of the space. Unfortunately, Matsuri has no such surprises in store.

1 Or 8
66 S. 2nd St., Brooklyn, NY1 Or 8 is a crazy looking, modern Japanese restaurant which recently opened in Williamsburg. Chances are, you’ve likely never seen or heard of it before because it’s in the middle of nowhere. Design-wise, think hipsters in Antarctica (that’s kind of an awesome band name). Although it doesn’t seem to have hit the mainstream radar, [...]

Citrus Bar & Grill
320 Amsterdam Ave, Upper West Side, NYHuge, loud and cheesy, Citrus is the perfect representation of everything that’s wrong with restaurants in this area.
