What People Are Saying About Sugiyama Restaurant

The Scene – The long, wood-paneled room is minimally decorated. A small, see-through wall is stuffed with stones, and a tree festooned with lights branches out from the front desk all the way across the ceiling. Service is impeccable, good-humored and informative. – – The Food – Chef Nao Sugiyama serves in the traditional kaiseki style--a kind of tasting menu consisting of between six and 12 small courses. There is extremely fresh sashimi on the menu, but most of the dishes are more exotic. Sea urchin, quail egg and Japanese yam mixed together and served in a shot…
Perfect
by jjl25
Exquisite food, perfect service. Atmosphere is basic but calm and pleasant. Lived up to the hype, and worth every penny. Brought boyfriend there for dinner -- he had the modern 8 course omakase with kobe -- and he's still talking about the meal.
- Pros: Attentive and friendly service
- Cons: Fairly basic atmosphere (not a con, but FYI)
Excellent upscale Japanese Restaurant
by koguma2000
If you want to taste true (non-family style) Japanese food, this is it. They use finest ingredients from all over the world and cook them with excellent skill. You might feel it a little expensive and indeed it is, but you have to pay twice if you were to eat the same food in Tokyo. I strongly recommend this place.
- Pros: Uses finest and fresh ingredient. Has true Japanese flavor
- Cons: A little pricy
tasty seafood

I came here on the recommendation of an American friend who lived in Japan for a year. The place has a wonderful combination of intimacy, ambience, service and quality food.
My friend and I ordered the grilled fish and left our dining experience in the hands of a master.
The dishes came out at a steady pace, and our server was so cute and sensitive to our needs. Each dish was beautiful, elegant and delicious. At the end of the meal, I was totally satisfied with a culinary experience that was delightful both visually and gustatorily.
