Atmosphere: I haven't really been to many Japanese restaurants, but it felt like a calm and relaxing place. Very clean and organized. I do want to say that the exterior of the restaurant needs to have its name highlighted a bit more. Thus, it can be more noticeable for customers.
Service: The lady was really attentive when I walked in. Food came out in a timely manner. The only thing that took a bit long was paying for it. So, I had to take the bill to the lady and pay it. She was also having her meal, so it's understandable.
Food: I ordered the Miso Ramen and the Crispy Takoyaki. The ramen broth was flavorful, and the rest of the ingredients were as well. The Crispy Takoyaki was hot and well done. The octopus from the Takoyaki was not too chewy or hard to chew. Overall, I was pleased with my order.
Price: Honestly, their prices are decent. You get adequate portions and good enough flavors.

Atmosphere: Tiny restaurant. Seems like they have changed indoor dining experience compared to some years ago. The entrance was a bit disorganized. I'm not sure if this was just a season thing where they only offer indoor dining when it's summer. Other than that, it had a neutral atmosphere.
Service: They were welcoming and attentive. They had my order ready by the time they said it was going to be ready.
Food: I ordered the Catfish bowl. The food was well portioned, and the flavors from each ingredient complemented each other. I also ordered the Lychee smoothie. Although it was not the right weather to drink it, it still tasted really good. I believe it will taste twice as good in summer.
Price: Honestly, their prices are fair. The quality and flavors of the food compensate their prices.

Atmosphere: The restaurant's exterior and interior are well organized. Clean for the most part. However, the music they have there makes it feel like you're not in a restaurant but in a nightclub.
Service: Honestly, service was okay. I went there because my cousin invited me. I did not feel like the waitress went beyond to make us feel at home. In other words, it was an average service.
Food: I ordered the Guatita, and my cousin ordered the Encebollado De Pescado. They tasted okay, neither bad nor good. I felt like something was missing, probably a little more flavor.
Price: It could just be my personal point of view. Considering the factors mentioned above, I think their prices are kind of high. You can go ahead and experience it yourself. You may have a different point of view.

Atmosphere: I have to admit, as a new customer, I didn't know where to look first so that I could have a better idea of what to order. There is some food on the sideboard on the left side once you enter the restaurant. There are also pictures of other dishes on the wall, which are on the right side of the restaurant. There is not a clear menu design inside the restaurant. Thus, minus one star.
Service: This part is where this place rescues other areas with flaws. The lady at the cash gerister, who also takes orders, is so friendly, respectful, and cheerful. The other people who also take orders are friendly and respectful. I think the service experience includes the overall at the restaurant. Therefore, I think they could improve their restroom.
Food: It seems like there is a mixture of good food and not so great food. However, I can only talk about the dish I ordered. I ordered the Fish Platter and it was okay. The fish fillets were thin and lacking flavor. Thus, minus one star. I think other dishes on their menu might be better than the Fish Platter.
Price: I think you can say prices are decent according to your order. In my case, the fish platter was not worth the price due to the reasons stated before.

Atmosphere: Tiny restaurant, like many others around NYC. The exterior and interior of the restaurant are well designed. The restaurant is sort of clean because they don't clean right away the mess some of the customers leave behind. I went there after busy times, so I had enough room to move around.
Service: They properly handle customer service with an absolute responsibility because they know time is money.
Food: So, their food is pretty good. I wouldn't say it is amazing, but it is pretty good. We ordered the egg noodles, udon noodles, marinated chicken, steak, shrimp, tofu, and shiitake mushrooms. Noodles were a bit overcooked. As a regular guy and for my taste, I don't mind it. However, I can understand professional noodle lovers wouldn't like it that way.
Price: You can tell their prices are a bit high by looking at the "your favorites" section. They advice maximum four because they will give you a small portion. Thus, if you choose four, the noodles would seem complete. Anyway, they are located in midtown Manhattan after all, so I completely understand their prices.
