Best restaurant bar in town!!!

by rachel98 at Citysearch

My husband and I were so amused by this Asian Bartender!! Just got back in town from long trip, were so craving for some nice sushi on last Satuarday night... therefore we decided to go to this gem sushi place in the villege. As we entered the restaurant, was so smittened by this adorable bartender, she looked like a delicated asian doll walking out of a shodow box! I suggested to sit at the bar, Great choice!! We've been a lot of service bars, but this one is perfection! I was so trilled that we ordered a bunch of a la cart and side dishes, the bartender didnt even write down out order but everything came out on time and correctly! Here I gotta appoligize to her that I was questioning about it.

We got the spicy rock shrimp, yellowtail sushimi ap, and scallop carpachio for starters... my husband doesnt like fish roes, before we requested to sub the roes , the bartender bring this up asking us if we like sea urchin or fish roes, cos these two things were inculded. Simple things like this can really show that if the server cares about customers.. we were really impressived by the service that we got from this girl who is not just another pretty face with whitend teeth showing out. I loved the spicy rock shrimp, and my husband fell for its salmon toro.. nigori sake that i got was great but slightly overpriced; my husband's shiso leaf sochu martini was just perfection like everything else! We will go back for the bar for sure! The one thing that I didnt like was the decor and the choice of the dvd playing.. its some jp dvd tape on that night... we couldnt understand it at all.. and they should put more effort on the decor.

• Pros: great bartender! nice food! spicy rock shrimp does rock!!
• Cons: decor. tape playing

bad customer service

by kafert at Citysearch

by the time you sit at table, you must be frustrated with this notorious manager because of her poor hosting and communication skill. then you probably get mad since you don't get food any time soon. besides sake is insanely overpriced. lastly you should be infuriated when this japanese waman drops off your bill and tries to kick you out of the restaurant. until you are all set, she is waiting right behind you to snatch your check. it is just amazing. if you don't wanna be treated like that, just stay away from the place and walk a few blocks over for takahachi

Pri fix menu is a great deal. great vibe at the bar!

I took my gf for dinner last night, both of us having such great time at the bar. As we came in, asked the bartender if we could watch the debate at 9pm after diner at the table, she had no problem doin the favor for us. We sat at the table for 10min then switched to the bar where was actually more comfortable than the table...The HD TV delivered the debate enfortlessly!

The entree on the pri fix menu, the washu beef was so tender and perfectly seasoned! My gf loved the dessert, and so did I. The wine the bartender suggested was great ,too. Compare with the treatment at the table, we were taken care much better at the bar... those servers never got back to us in time for whatever we asked for...

• Pros: bar, wine, food!
• Cons: servers are not attentive.. lanauage
