Hamachi

Address: 34 E 20th St, between Broadway & Park Ave, New York, NY 10003

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

Hamachi is the one place that is known for its sushi. There's nothing eye catching about the décor but the fresh seafood has real zip. Each dinner is bursting with flavor and is well priced; the salmon is one of their specialties. If you have never tried sushi before this is the place for you and for the regulars...

Nobu

Address: 105 Hudson St, at Franklin St, New York, NY 10013

User rating: User Rating and Review ( Rate It! )

Punctuated by frequent visits from celebrities and the New York elite, Nobu serves food that definitely lives up to its reputation. Try the "new-style sashimi," lightly cooked with garlic and ginger-flavored olive oil. Squid pasta is also a good choice. Not sure which items to try? Try several! The Omakase – a...

If you are looking to feast on raw fish in an elegant environment graced by bamboo paneling and intimate lighting, your search for a restaurant is over.

Nobu, Next Door

Address: 105 Hudson St, between Franklin & N Moore St, New York, NY 10013

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

Japanese-Peruvian fusion fare soars to unbelievable heights at this off-shoot of the original (and legendary) Nobu. Make no mistake: The scene at Next Door is completely independent of that at its elder sibling, but it's no less evocative. Designed by David Rockwell, the sleek space recalls the seaside – one of the...

Masa

Address: 10 Columbus Cir, Time Warner Center, New York, NY 10019

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

Owner-Chef Masayoshi Takayama has set the bar at near-unreachable heights with this exclusive restaurant on the fourth floor of the Time Warner Center. The fare, of course is outstanding, and those who appreciate the finer things will no doubt be tempted to saddle up to the bar and savor the pre fixe (priced...

Jewel Bako

Address: 239 E 5th St, between 2nd & 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10003

User rating: User Rating and Review ( Rate It! )

Widely regarded as one of the Village's best options for sushi, Jack and Grace Lamb's snug little "gem" on Fifth Street roundly deserves any and all accolades it receives. From the chic bamboo arches to the coveted sushi bar, the space typifies many of those qualities out-of-towners often associate when the term "cool...

Kai

Address: 822 Madison Ave, Ito En Tea Store, New York, NY 10021

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

Sleek, minimalist design elements mark the interior of this serene eatery, which was founded with the intent of honoring the harmony of the traditional Japanese dining experience. In keeping with this elemental balance, dishes from the both land and sea are well represented, including teriyaki kanpachi, sesame-grilled...

Nobu 57

Address: 40 W 57th St, between 5th & 6th Ave, New York, NY 10019

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

When Nobu Matsuhisa opened his 57th Street restaurant (backed by folks like Robert De Niro and noted restaurateur Drew Nieporent), it was easily one of the most eagerly anticipated Midtown debuts during the summer of 05. Folks the world over are accustomed to nothing less than magic from the electric Nobu, whose...

Morimoto

Address: 88 10th Ave, Chelsea Market, New York, NY

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

This Philly transplant, co-owned by Chef Masaharu Morimoto and restaurateur Stephen Starr, is a super stylish scene (a wall made of water bottles actually separates the dining room from the sushi bar) that attracts a fair number of high-profile guests. The menu includes a number of fantastic mains, but for a truly...

Sugiyama

Owner/chef Nao Sugiyama's Midtown West restaurant specializes in terrific Tokyo-style cuisine.
