Restaurant Nippon - New York

I wouldn't say this restaurant is authentic. It is beyond that. When you enter here you temporarily leave all the chaos and noise of Manhattan and get transported to Japan. They serve dishes that are uncommon here in the US, and even fugu dishes during the winter, how crazy is that! The food is delicious and the service excellent, like in Japan :

The food was good, but very expensive for a la cart chef’s recommended nigiri(per piece). When a chef recommended over the counter something good and fresh from Japan which is not on the menu, just be careful the price is all MP and it’s considered as Omakase since he normally won’t tell how much on each. That’s the good lesson something we weren’t able to aware their hidden price there. We ordered all nigiri based on his recommendation and cost us over $250 for just 7 pieces(No MP items such as sea urchins at this time without some rolls we ordered on the menu) All other a la cart meal or combo on the menu with price on it are reasonable and affordable. So, you better stick with the menu to avoid unhappy ending.

This is probably as close as you can get to Japan during these covid days. Great food. Japanese atmosphere (including the elevator jazz soundtrack

Real authentic Japanese food was extremely good and amazing service. Would definitely stop by here and come again. I came here during lunch time and it was a nice peaceful place to eat. I also needed help understanding a few things on the menu and the waiter did an amazing job explaining!

Love the service there. Food is nice and fresh. Too bad we did not try sushi which is said to be their top dish.
