Finally got a chance to try this place out with a couple of friends. I've been meaning to try out their food for awhile now since didn't get a chance to when I was last in NYC.
The interior is nice and modern and they have a well stock bar with lots of Japanese whiskey. We ordered the following:
- Spicy cucumbers - very refreshing, the togarashi over the nuts gave it a different taste
- shishito peppers - did not have the grilled marks, but was served with smoked salt - tasted pretty good
- 5 spice rotessiere duck - a definite stand out and super flavorful (also was the longest dish we had to wait for)
- slow roasted pork shoulder - the meat literally falls apart when you use your utensil to grab it; goes well with the kimchi and lettuce
- shoyu pork ramen - it came out kind of lukewarm and seemed to have a lot of things in it. I was not too impressed with it.
Overall, a cool place to check out. It can be a bit pricey for what you get, but then again - it's in the Cosmo in Vegas.
