What People Are Saying About BONDST
The Owner
BONDST
Owner
BONDST, located in NoHo, is a trendy downtown restaurant with a warm minimalist interior design. The cuisine is new Japanese with European and Asian influences.
Its kitchen boasts fresh, original, and vibrantly spiced food, while the servers are friendly and attentive. BONDST offers the best of both worlds, a fine dining experience and a relaxed, intimate atmosphere.
This celebrity hot-spot offers an attractive setting, as well as a diverse and excellent menu which delights even the most fussy of palates. The innovative kitchen creates delectable offerings such as fugu sashimi (blowfish) and seared tuna and foie gras with plum wine glaze.
Although Restaurant Week has ended, BONDST will continue to serve its very popular $35 Bento Board.

The Scene
In the booming '90s, celebs flocked to the leather banquettes and minimal, candlelit ambience of BondSt's downstairs lounge. The crowd is still monied, but these days you're more likely to find yourself squeezed next to a New Jersey paper millionaire than a movie star. The wannabe-model waitstaff are as gorgeous as ever, and the lighting is dim enough to conceal rather drab decor.
The Food
High-end Japanese goodies are sprinkled throughout the menu: Toro-caviar sushi comes with a decorative gold twist on top, foie gras meets seared tuna to intoxicating effect and arctic char garnished with truffles has almost too much flavor. Yellowtail is superb enough to make a special featuring four different types a highlight. Blue fin toro is the gorgeously soft center of a special roll. If you want variety, the excellent 6 Bond Nigiri special delivers six exotic combinations.

Had dinner here on Friday night - it was packed! Definitely a popular destination for a Friday night dinner, although it seemed heavily populated with international tourists/businessmen. Not being able to decide on what to order, we went with the Bento dinner - a little sampling of everything. The sushi was delicious, as were the accompaniments included on the Bento. We ordered the Sake Sangria, which had little to no alcohol in it - disappointing for $14/glass. Dessert, which was included, was delicious. Just enough food to be full but not bursting at the seams. It is a bit pricey, but I suggest going all in for the food, and then choosing a pub on the Bowery for a drink or 2.

I honestly have no idea how this made the top of Citysearch's Best of list. We went for a friend's birthday last weekend. The server was apathetic at best. The food was okay - definitely not worth the price tag. Our sushi wasn't rolled properly - the pieces started falling apart almost as soon as the runner set our plates down. The lobster tempura roll that everyone was raving about was bland. In fact, with the exception of the sake steamed sea bass, all our food was bland. I ordered a lychee martini that did in fact have a lychee in the bottom of the glass but didn't taste anything like lychee. Overall, this place is a must-skip.

The Sushi is not bad but not great. There are soo many places that have fresher and tastier sushi. The ambiance is boring but I suppose matches traditional Japanese simple decor. Not a bad experience but not all that either

What to Drink:
The sake menu is one of the longest in the city, stretching up to $200 bottles. Saketini cocktails have become commonplace, but they're rarely mixed as well as they are here--sweet and dry options both achieve perfect balance.
