Natsumi - New York

We found this restaurant on Google and it matched our needs for location and atmosphere. It's a small but cozy place. The sake was incredible, and our server Alex was charming and entertaining. We followed his recommendations for the chef's choice, and it was fantastic! We also tried the tempura cheesecake, and WOW! We will definitely return when we're in the city again!

We made our reservation a month in advance. Upon arrival tonight, we were warmly welcomed and promptly seated. The restaurant was bustling but still maintained a pleasant atmosphere. Our server was attentive and clearly answered all our menu questions. We ordered sashimi and sushi, miso soup, and a salad with ginger dressing, all of which were flavorful and fresh. We would definitely return.

We started with the tempura rock shrimp and the fried chicken as appetizers, and both were fantastic. We probably should have stopped there, as it was more than enough food for the two of us. We also had a couple of mixed drinks (including a peach one, which is shown in the picture) and enjoyed a Sapporo as well. We shared the maki platter; however, I wouldn't recommend the Philly roll again, as it had too much cream cheese and no cucumber, making it a bit overwhelming. Definitely don’t miss the tempura during your visit—it was delicious!

I had a fantastic dining experience here! I'm eager to return and introduce this place to my friends. The Black Cod Miso was incredibly delicious, and the Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura was equally amazing. I can't wait to go back!

We had a wonderful dinner with excellent service. Although it's not the most upscale restaurant in town, we found that the tables were a bit small for more than two people when sharing multiple sushi platters. However, the staff was very attentive, quickly clearing away empty plates to make more space. We’ll definitely be returning!
