In Short
Many hearts were broken when this eatery moved from a cozy townhouse to a more generic storefront. But while the clandestine, romantic feel may no longer be there, the gingham wallpaper is, as are the popular raw bar selections and signature fruits de mer platter. The rest of the menu has been revised to feature gentler prices and more casual small plates, like lobster knuckle chowder, salmon tartare, lobster profiteroles and s'mores for dessert.

Foie gras, malpeques, and these little griled cheese sandwich appetizers that will slay you dead. Dozen after dozen of fresh oysters come to you and you can never have enough. The waiters are all very knowledgable about wine pairing and chose a great sauternes to go with the chocolate dessert. Fantastic. I have been there several times and will continue to go again and again.

Once you have tried few "great" Japanese restaurants, you will realize that the best are always the small ones with little decoration. Of course, if all the customers are Japanese, there is no brainer. JBK reminds me about Tomoe sushi, my first Japanese restaurant in the USA. IT is a little smaller than I have expected, but service and food are excellent. If you enjoy sushi that literately melt in your month, JBK is for you. If you are looking for celebrites, loud noise, and big crowd, JBK is not for you.

What is everyone talking about?! The prices are obscene just like Jewel Bako. The sashimi/sushi was fresh but nothing special. I tried a huge variety of rolls and was not impressed. Though, on the plus side, our waiter/manager was extremely polite. Stay away from this tiny, tiny place unless all other sushi joints in NYC are closed.
