White not a seasoned yakitori expert, I was treated to an unforgettable dinner at this understated 2nd-floor dream, and was lucky enough to be joined by a real Japanese transplant to New York. The food might have been the best I've ever had in Manhattan, in the most authentic Tokyo setting. We were feeling adventurous and went for whatever was most obscure; the raw octopus was RIDICULOUSLY good, and the yakitoris were screaming with flavor and freshness. I'm struggling to think that you could go wrong with any dish at this restaurant. The setting was so intimate and inviting with gorgeous and bubbly Japanese waitresses. Snagging a table may be difficult but worth all the hassle! I have rarely been so satisfied with a meal. Go with a small group (max 4 people) and with your appetite. Don't be scared to try something different! Don't walk, run to this one-of-a-kind Japanese heaven far and away from every standard sushi joint.
Pros: Fabulous food, great shochu cocktails, beautiful people, did I mention FABULOUS food?
Cons: Difficult to get a table
