The New York location of the Iron Chef's restaurant is an ultra chic yet comfortable shrine to sushi. The menu features top end sushi (with prices to match). True sushi fans should try the omakase. Bento boxes feature an assortment of Japanese delicacies such as Kobe beef, sake marinated black cod and tempura. The sushi tower appetizer is a must for lovers of the raw stuff, just for the picture you can take of it, it's as beautiful as it is delicious. Morimoto features a top notch sake list and wine list. Make an effort to visit the bathrooms with heated toilets and infinity mirrors. Service was surprisingly humble and pleasant.

Pros: Sushi, bento boxes, best sake list in New York?, bathrooms!

Editor's Review

Like the mammoth Kitchen Stadium, "Iron Chef" Masaharu Morimoto's 12,000-square-foot restaurant seems built for show--and his showy cuisine.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Where to Sit

Sushi fans will want a spot at the 24-seat bar; reserve a place at the special eight-person omakase bar for the chef's choice of cuisine and kitchen view.
