Benemon is a place that I’ve been too a few times over the years but I’ve never been much of a reviewer. Thats changed lately and I feel like they deserve the shout from me .

Favorite restaurant in NYC! Got the nanban don and it was life changing. For appetizers, we got the tuna tataki and the tofu fire. Both were amazing. The price was around $40 per person but definitely worth the price point. Definitely give this place a visit

This place was amazing. We got a variety of small plates and then a few mains to split between 4 people. The sake selection was also great, I would highly recommend asking the server for their input.

Nice place for a quiet date night. Went with the small plates since they seemed more interesting. I’d recommend the beef tataki which is quite flavorful. The cocktails and sake selection is nice. For cocktails, the Summer Echoes is aptly named.

I came here for dinner last week with my boyfriend, it wasn’t busy since we came right when they opened. Servers were friendly and attentive. Enjoyed the oyako don, rice was a little more wet than I usually enjoy but that is probably just how the dish is- since there’s eggs and other stuff in it as well. My boyfriend loves fish so he enjoyed the tuna more than me. The steak was so good though, cooked perfectly and the sauce was lovely. Serving sizes are small for the price but this is how NYC is… loved the food, everything was great! The indoor atmosphere was chill and relaxing 🙂

Benemon was on my “want to go” list for a long time and it became the 348th food place I visited in NYC for the last 3 years. I ordered Unagi Don. The food was quite good, flavorful, and tasty. Service was quick and nice. However, some minor details need to be improved to get 5 stars, including sticky table tops that need to be cleaned better, paper towels in the restroom should not be on the toilet tank, pending grade and violations from the Health Department, etc.

I thought the food felt like home. It wasn’t anything surprising or unexpected. The pork katsu were a little dry, and the steak lacked garlic flavor as expected.

Good food at pretty fair prices for NYC! Lots of different options for a variety of Japanese dishes (curry, rice dishes, etc), so there is something for everyone. I had the vegetable don which was surprising in that it was just tempura vegetables, rice, and a side dish of ten don sauce, but the tempura veggies were really well cooked and the sauce was delicious. Simple, yet effective!

Appreciate that they were able to accommodate us (party of 3) without a reservation on a Thurs evening. Nice environment but we thought that the dishes could have better flavours/textures. Especially the curry katsudon- usually it comes in a bigger piece of meat but they serve them in “fingers” instead. We do think that there are better izakayas in the neighbourhood.
