TsuKuShi

May 1st, 2024

In my opinion this is one of the best small Japanese restaurants in New York City if you are ready to graduate from the same old hibachi, sushi and sashimi (which Japanese eat only rarely). The dishes are very much like what youll find in a small Japanese town (if the town were full of foodies). The menu is only Omakase (chefs choice), and he makes something different every day. You get what you get and Ive never been upset. There are always several incredible Japanese vegetable dishes, sashimi, and today I was introduced to Shirataki which are glass noodles made from sweet potato. No calories and high fiber. Towards the end, he usually grills you a small fish or meat. Ive brought out of town guests here several times and theyve always been ecstatic. Its simple, excellent comfort / home cooking, Japanese style. After midnight, he serves ramen, fried rice, and rice soup, and the place fills with Japanese restaurant workers. To top it all off, the restaurant does not allow tips. Now that I think about it, after 5-6 visits, Ive rarely seen any non-Japanese diners. For me thats a good sign. Usually one young lady handles the dining room, and she is super friendly and knowledgeable.

Fantastic place for a rotating pre-set 6 course meal with great extra options and dessert. A fun and authentic Japanese drinking hole at night.
