Great upscale Japanese restaurant with a diverse menu that is fit for anyone. The listening bar section of the restaurant is a bit more laid back and great place to dine; the DJ that came on at 10 had great taste in music. Overall food and service was excellent.

We had the 180 kaiseki. The price is expected for kaiseki but the food quality is not. They serve sabu sabu pork with thick cut tomatoes. And they serve sushi that looks and tastes like lunch special sushi. I have had quite a few Kaiseki dinners. The dishes are supposed to be nicely presented. The food quality is okay but not feel like authentic Japanese Kaiseki. The saving grace is they have a tea ceremony, and the dessert is the best part of the meal.

Superb dinner. Super professional service. Our waiter spent a lot of time explaining the menu and making suggestions. Can’t wait to return.

Incredibly disappointing! I was looking forward to celebrating valentines day and had reserved in advance for the valentines tasting menu which the restaurant called to confirm 2 days in advance. Arrived at 7:25 for the 7:30 reservation and it went down hill from there.

I went to this place accidentally many years ago. And now I went to check if it was still there. This place is so good. Gorgeous. Posh, yet unpretentious. Insane selection of Sake’s. A place to take your mom or girlfriend to get a proper experience. Gorgeous view of the West Village and great people working there. Huge thanks to Tomako for giving us a truly special experience.

Came here for an after work event with a group of four. Was a bit more fancy than I expected but overall had a great experience. We got the tasting menu, and one of my fav dishes was the matcha dessert at the end. I needed more of that! Also highly recommend the draft Japanese lager

chaotic seating, confusion, split brain atmosphere. we arrived at the reserved time but were only seated a full hour later. staff confusion about the special occasion kaiseki reservation incurred a further delay, and placed us in the lounge and not the main dining hall, starting a 7 course meal at 1030pm, just as the lounge transitioned to an after-hours party. sure, an off day for scheduling perhaps, but even as the food was good and sake pairings thoughtful, it was not the meal or atmosphere we had looked forward to on our return visit, and wrapping dessert after 1130pm restricted our subsequent plans.

2 of us had Reika’s Dinner Set – Casual for $55 each. All ~9 dishes in it were great! That was my favorite edamame ever (in a broth for extra flavor?). I’d never had yamaimo isobe-age before, but it surprised me with a taste that’s similar to my favorite type of potato latkes. The shiso in the garlic shiso rice was a nice touch. The fried chicken was maybe the least exceptional dish, but it was still very good (lighter than the double-fried style that seems popular nowadays, but still flavorful).

While it is admittedly VERY expensive here, I think it’s worth a visit maybe 1-2x a year. The menu is quite unique. My wife and I were blown away by the Sashimi rice bowl with sesame sauce , I cant remember what the name of the dish is. We also thought the truffle chawanmushi was outstanding, its a must-order item. They had a special salmon dish with enoki and shiitake mushrooms that was served in tin foil and we gobbled it up. The dessert was amazing too (creme fraiche with truffle honey and shaved black truffle on top!?) . My only negatives or feedback for the restaurant would be that the dining room is kind of loud, but its due to the acoustics of the large room. Also I would recommend for them to bring out the sake bottles to the tableside when pouring glasses for the customer, as I always like to look at the label when ordering sake, not only because I’m curious to see the bottle artwork, but also because I like to verify that the correct sake / the sake that I ordered is being poured.
