BONDST

I dined at Bond Street about a week ago, for starters, don't drink the coffee at Bond Street!!! Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted with a Starbucks coffee cup on the podium in plain sight and another being transferred into another glass by the bar area....... TACKY! We waited at the bar until our party was "complete" and noticed a lot of loitering around the front area while customers dining in the restaurant had to flag down their server by raising their hand. And then there were times that there wasn't anyone at the front and new customers that were coming in the restaurant were greeted by uh, no one. The bartender finally said hello and that someone would be right with them. The hostess twice put on lipstick right in front of us - seriously... We noticed a server walking from the back of the restaurant toward the front with her arms stretched in the air the entire way????? What the @#$&. I don't want to see your armpits. The dining experience was okay, I might go back for the food and drinks. Oh, and we weren't even thanked as we left the restaurant. The two hostesses at the front didn't even raise their eyes to see us leave, they were planted on the screen in front of them. Does the phrase first and last impressions ring a bell. For as classy as the place is supposed to be, Bond Street fell far short from what I expected.

Pros: Food and drinks were better than average.

Cons: Greeting staff upon entering and leaving - no class.....

Had dinner here on Friday night - it was packed! Definitely a popular destination for a Friday night dinner, although it seemed heavily populated with international tourists/businessmen. Not being able to decide on what to order, we went with the Bento dinner - a little sampling of everything. The sushi was delicious, as were the accompaniments included on the Bento. We ordered the Sake Sangria, which had little to no alcohol in it - disappointing for $14/glass. Dessert, which was included, was delicious. Just enough food to be full but not bursting at the seams. It is a bit pricey, but I suggest going all in for the food, and then choosing a pub on the Bowery for a drink or 2.

Pros: Sushi, Staff

Cons: Price, Drinks

I honestly have no idea how this made the top of Citysearch's Best of list. We went for a friend's birthday last weekend. The server was apathetic at best. The food was okay - definitely not worth the price tag. Our sushi wasn't rolled properly - the pieces started falling apart almost as soon as the runner set our plates down. The lobster tempura roll that everyone was raving about was bland. In fact, with the exception of the sake steamed sea bass, all our food was bland. I ordered a lychee martini that did in fact have a lychee in the bottom of the glass but didn't taste anything like lychee. Overall, this place is a must-skip.

Cons: food, service, price

The Sushi is not bad but not great. There are soo many places that have fresher and tastier sushi. The ambiance is boring but I suppose matches traditional Japanese simple decor. Not a bad experience but not all that either

Posted 02/24/09

I love BONDST!!!!! The Sashimi is incredible as well as the salmon niguiri... The envirnoment is really nice! Congrats!

One of the best asian fusion restaurants I have ever been to! I'm an avid seafood/sushi restaurant attendee and this was one of the best experiences I have ever had. My boyfriend really did his research when he took here for my birthday because I was in awe. Firstly, the service is impeccable. Although you may become a little confused on who exactly your server is, they are all extremely attentive. From pouring the wine, the drinks, the sake.. basically my water glass had the perfect amount of ice in it and was never below the half-way mark. We had the crispy sushi appetizer and the loberster tempura for appetizers. Absolutely amazing. The lobster was so fresh and tasty, cooked to perfection. In addition, we ordered 3 different sushi rolls which were savory and sweet as much as they were spicy in all the right places. All the plates were brought out one by one, and we never felt we were being rushed. The restaurant has an intelligent deisgn, it almost feels like you are waltzing into a bumping houseparty for young professionals. It does not look like your classic venue with unattractive neon lights starcasting the entire block. (aka sushi samba and its wannabes.) Although we didn't go on the 3rd floor, the 2nd floor is where we sat, which I'm sure is equally as impressive. The lounge downstairs was not too loud or overpacked, and you can definitely come here on a date or in a large group. Very chic and elegant. Well worth it, however I would recommend making reservations in advance.

Pros: Food, Service and Ambience

Cons: Expect overpriced drinks

Posted 12/15/08

Love this place. The food is excellent and the service is top notch. Skip the lounge till after dinner and head upstairs to the restaurant. Make a reservation in advance and skip the apps, head straight for the sushi menu. Oh and don't forget your wallet, this place is not cheap!

Pros: food

Cons: service can be sketchy

Posted 12/07/08

I took my husband to Bond St for his birthday dinner, both of us being extremely fond of Japanese food,we were really excited to try this restaurant. Unfortunately, we were sorely disappointed. Although the food is fine, but hardly as creative and innovative as some reviews would lead you to believe, the overall attitude and pompeous atmosphere ruined our dinning experience.
We're not food snobs, but we have dinned at some of the city's top restaurants with far better food and far less attitude.
I believe what most ruined it for us was the rude service. Our server seemed bothered when we asked questions about the menu as well as when the meal was finished, instead of asking if we were ready for the bill, he just brought it over, dropped it down said thank you and walked off.
Although the decor is beautiful, there is nothing warm or welcoming about this restaurant.

Posted 11/15/08

My friend reeaaaallly wanted to check this place out, and asked me to go with her...best decision i could make. I loved the food. the place is so cozy and cute. The service was perfect and very friendly.

It's a little pricey for me, but I won't knock it's score, I'd pay it if i could afford it.

Pros: food,service

Posted 10/21/08

We ate there last night with two other couples and if there is a "con" I don't know what it would be. I have always been impressed with Bond over the years but last night pushed me to write this review...simply an amazing all around experience. Our server was fabulous, the scene was hot (how do they constantly attract so many beautiful people?!) and the bottom line is the food was arguably the best I have ever enjoyed from apps to main to sushi. After our meal we went downstairs for a drink and the vibe was fun and our waitress attentive...not to mention hot. I hate to give 5 stars for anyone as I normally find something wrong - not this time. Great job.

Pros: Food and service

Cons: Maybe next time i will find one, but they were perfect this time.

Posted 10/16/08

Same food in the lounge, more hospitality. Sit at the bar and have one of the beautiful bartenders woo you. My girlfriends and i cant get enough.

Posted 10/15/08

Bond St. is a warm and relaxing place to bring clients. I brought a party of 10 clients unannounced one evening and the hostess accommodated us in no time. The crowd is hip, sophisticated and sheek, but be prepared to deal with a snotty wait staff.

Pros: amience

Cons: snotty wait staff

Posted 08/25/08

We took clients out for dinner to Bond St, and had a wonderful experience. Not only was the food delicious, but the attention to detail and customer service was over the top. We had an interesting experience in which another table of customers were rude and out of line. The wait staff, manager and security immediately got involved and handled the situation with respect and professionalism. The situation could have gotten ugly but didn't because Bond St. has a top notch staff. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Pros: Food, service, overall experience.

Cons: None.

Posted 08/21/08

I have been to many dinners at Bond St over the past 5 years, with satisfactory results, but have only recently dined at the bar in the downstairs lounge. I will never eat upstairs again.

The bartenders, warren and shawn, engineered my entire meal with smiles and charm and it ended up being my best new york sushi experience ever. I got the feeling of genuine care, which in my experience doesnt exist in the "trendy" new york restaunt scene.

Extremely fun, and flirty scene.
100% reccommended

Pros: service/lighting/fun

Cons: prices

Posted 07/28/08

Hands down the absolute best Japanese food/ dining experience in NYC! The service was friendly and prompt, & explained each dish as it was brought out. We decided to order the Chef's tasting menu - best decision we made! We got to sample many things on the menu on a smaller scale, and each dish was creative, beautiful and unbelieveably delicious! At our request, the chef added a lobster tempura roll to our sushi/sashimi sampler - it is so delicious! If you're not a fan of raw fish, try the NY Strip Steak with potato dice or Broiled Chilean Sea Bass marinated in saikyo miso - both are fantastic! This place is a scene, and does get packed. We had early reservations and avoided the rush but as we ate, the restaurant filled up. Will definitely be back soon!

Posted 06/17/08

Bond Street was disappointing. Overall, dinner was satisfying but did not live up to the price or hype. The sushi was top-quality but servings were small and generally uinspired. The toro marinated in bleu cheese was the only notable exception. Service was mediocre at best. Our server was slow and distracted but I think it was because the restaurant was simply understaffed. The biggest negative was our seating. On fairly short notice, I could only manage to score a reservation in the "casual dining room". The host assured me that many people prefer the "casual dining room" because it is more hip and fun. Let's call a spade a spade: I was seated in the kitchen.

Again, not bad but I get the feeling Bond Street has seen better days.

Pros: Quality sushi

Cons: Mediocre service; pricey; small portions

Posted 04/12/08

Saturday night, my girlfriends who were visiting from out of town and I decided to try Bond St. One of the girls had been there before and had a decent experience the previous time. We made reservations, and were seated almost immediately. From there, the night went downhill. I am a vegetarian and knew there were a few options on the menu for my diet. I ordered a miso soup, the seaweed salad, and vegetable tempura (and two lychee martinis). The food was mediocre, considering the price we were paying for it. Our bill for the four of us came out to $300, which we wouldn't have minded if the food was good. The worst was the experience we had with our waiter. After bringing me shrimp rolls (which I don't eat because of my being vegetarian), he did not even apologize when we alerted him of his mistake. He left the shrimp rolls there, and we assumed that because he didn't take them away upon bringing me my vegetable tempura, that they were complimentary because of his mistake with my order. However, I scooted the plate to the middle of the table, and the food went untouched, because my friends had already ordered enough for themselves. At the end of the dinner, we checked our bill and saw that he in fact charged us for the rolls. When we made clear his second mistake, he claimed he saw ME, the VEGETARIAN, eating them. Moreover, he got in my face and said I must have made a mistake when ordering, because "[He] is never wrong and [he] doesn't make mistakes." THE AUDACITY!! It was a $12 plate that we wouldn't have minded paying for had it been our own mistake. The waiter, though, did not apologize, act humble, or appease us in any way. We called the manager over and told her about how rude he was, and initially, she too, was unpleasant with us. I AM NEVER GOING THERE AGAIN! I highly recommend that you avoid this restaurant. It's absolutely miserable!!!!

Posted 03/02/08

This was our second trip to BondST. The first time, we left impressed by the food and emphatically underwhelmed by service. We were made to wait for 30 minutes despite reservations without an apology or an explanation, pushed around by patrons and servers in the miniscule bar area, but loved the sashimi and decided to go back. This time around, it was a long weekend, and the restaurant was practically empty, so no problem getting to the table. The food was average (avoid the sweet shrimp sushi and the yellowtail sashimi appetizer at all cost), but palatable. And then, my husband and i decided to step outside for a smoke (bad habit, perhaps, but something we do pretty much every time we go out to eat somewhere). I called the waiter over to let him know and he made us leave a credit card to be able to go outside for a smoke! Apparently, the few thousand bucks we left behind in merchandise (coats, purse, etc), were not guarantee enough we'd return. I have never felt this offended by a ridiculous policy at a pretentious restaurant before. I am not going back. Ever. Nor should you.

Pros: Exquisite lobster roll and nice celection of tuna

Cons: Service, the rest of the food

Posted 02/18/08

Albeit the lack of a proper sign and slightly chilly dining room, this place was fantastic. The wait staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. I had the pan-roasted monkfish cheeks with orange sauce and leek fondue, which melted in my mouth. For a main dish, the arctic char and fugu (blowfish) sashimi could not have been freshef if I'd been in the ocean and speared it myself. Finally, I had one of the best desserts I have ever eaten. It was banana milk chocolate dim sum with a sweet sour cream dipping sauce. Yes, it is a pricey meal, but it's not like they try and hide it. You know what you're in for, and it's totally worth it.

Pros: Fresh and innovative cuisine

Cons: Can be costly

Posted 02/05/08

2 scotches and 4 pieces of sushi, $120. The look on my friend's face after telling him to go screw himself for having dragged me there, Priceless.

Pros: Watching wilting former male models who still think they are hot.

Cons: Everything else.

Posted 01/06/08

What a great japanese dining experience this can be. I usually order the medium or large omakase (tasting menu) which never disappoints. The sushi is fresh and delicious. The hot food is unique and great as well.

Pros: Great food and service

Cons: Pricey, can get crowded quickly

Posted 11/17/07

That basically sums it up. Not a great sense of value, but as long as you realize that - it is a good time. Good place to go if you want to splurge and feel like a pseudo-celebrity. Staff was attentive to all needs and the cocktails were slammin.

Pros: Fun Time

Cons: Adds Up Quickly

Posted 09/09/07

The food was as great as my friend described. What I didn't expect was such kind service. My boyfriend and I arrived late when everything seemed to be dying down. I worried that we would get the "hurry up and eat" treatment but our waitress was the exact opposite. She patiently helped us order a terrific meal and even steered us away from over ordering! The only bad part was that she was so beautiful that i had to keep reminding my boyfriend to stop staring.

Pros: Service and Food

Cons: Hard to find.

Posted 07/29/07

I've eaten in a lot of restaurants around the world from The French Laundry to street stalls in third world countries and this was beyond doubt the worst service I've ever experienced in my life. The same can be said by my four dining companions, two of whom are successful restaurateurs. Having to play tug-of-war with our still full plates, bottles and glasses with the twenty busboys (well, it seemed that many) who were sent to clear our table from about five minutes into our meal actually turned out to be the pleasant part of our service. Our waiter made himself unpleasant to the point where he actually stopped serving us when we dared to politely question why a half-full bottle of expensive sake was cleared away. Another waiter took over from that point--his idea of service was to slam down the bill in the middle of our table while the original waiter looked on. We had not yet asked for it. Then, because we were silly enough to think we could finish our drinks before we left, one of the hostesses came over to pointedly pick up each of our glasses and hold them up to the light before putting them back down on the table again. What the point of this exercise was except to annoy us I have no idea. We were astounded at the appalling service (I use the term loosely). The food may have been good but the service was so awful it is all we can remember. You couldn't pay any of us to go there again.

Pros: None

Cons: The Staff

Posted 07/01/07

really good sushi. service was ok......arrogant. but overall a good place. the ambiance is really cool.

Pros: food

Posted 06/05/07

This is consistently great sushi-- very pricey , but always good.
the service is annoying -- they are pretty snooty-- but if you are looking for sushi in a cool atmosphere and have money to spend -- go here.

Pros: delicious.

Cons: expensive

Posted 05/16/07

Nice and trendy, but very overpriced for sushi that is about the same as you can get from any st. marks place for about 1/10 of the price. overall had a good time, though our bill came out to be $190 for two ppl, and didnt even have that many dishes. but the downstairs area lounge for drinks is cute, and overall, pretty ppl to look at and not a bad place out on the town..

Posted 03/05/07

The food is surprisingly wonderful! I was expecting the same old "trendy spot but average food" formula, but Bond Street pulled through. It is, indeed, trendy (a per their downstairs venue), but the sushi is fresh and very very good. Their sake selection is also pretty decent. However, the food is on the pricey side, and there are comparably good sushi places at a better value. But if you're looking for atmosphere and quality sushi, and price is not an issue, go here...

Pros: good food, great sushi, attractive crowd

Cons: pricey, must have a reservation

Posted 01/09/07

I've been coming to Bond street for years and it has never let me down. You can either have an elegant dinner upstairs or hang in the lounge downstairs for something more casual. My favorite is the crunchy shrimp dish. It takes a lot for a restaurant to stay in NY for over 10 years and still pack inthe crowds so obviously Bond street must be doing something right. I would definitely not listen to all the negative reviews.

Pros: consistency, ambience

Posted 12/07/06

My friend has always wanted to try Bond Street - we went for his birthday on a Saturday. I called two weeks in advance for a 9 o'clock reservation, which was no problem. We arrived at 8:30 for a glass of champagne before we sat down to dinner, which was fine, although the bar is too small for the space and really overcrowded. Our table was ready around 9:30. We had amazing appetizers and mostly great sushi. Our waiter recommended the special toro roll, which we ordered. It was good, but at $26 was not nearly three times as good as anything else on the menu, and that was before we bit into a bone in three out of the six toro roll pieces. I mean...I eat sushi 2-3 times per week, and I have never...ever...encountered a bone...until now. We mentioned it to our waiter, who frankly did not seem overly concerned. He said he would tell the kitchen, and eventually came back with a really lame little petite four platter thingie (double lame since we had both already ordered dessert). The desserts were good - the sake creme brulee is amazing - but I had specifically mentioned that it was a birthday when I made the reservation, and then again when I confirmed the reservation that morning. So frankly, when my friend's dessert came out without a birthday flourish (no candle...no Happy Birthday written on the plate) I was really annoyed. The check was $200 for two people, and I really am happy to pay $200 for dinner - but you pay that kind of money so that it's perfect. And there were just way too many little screw-ups for the price. Our table was half an hour late, the waiter was indifferent at best, bones in the exorbitantly priced special sushi roll (still reeling), no candle, and, to add insult to injury, our waiter dropped the check at the same time as our desserts...really tacky. The crowd was very B&T to boot, so the trendy ambience was wasted. Altogether, there are many, many other places to drop your $200.

Pros: Sushi is amazingly fresh and at times outstanding

Cons: Service is crappy, bones in sushi roll, cheesy crowd

Posted 11/24/06

Came here the other night with my sister. Made a 7:00 reservation warlier in the day with no problem (although a later time was not available). Service is generally OK (nothing special). We sat in the back by the sushi bar but a table in the dim-lit front would have been nice for better atmosphere. We shared the Mixed Green salad which was big and good but again, nothing special. Ceviche trio was very small but very good (a tad salty). My sister had the Sea Bass which was really good and had great natural flavor. It is served with radish (?) in a sweet orange sauce. I had the lobster tempura roll which was good and the soba noodle and crab roll which was very good. The soba noodle roll is slightly warm which was nice. The crowd is a little bit older and the noise level was pretty low. It was an overall nice experience but i don't think i will be returning anytime soon just because i like places with a little more engery.

Pros: food

Cons: ambience

Posted 10/28/06

I have been to BondSt many times and everytime it gets better. The sushi is always fresh and very tasty; the tempura is fried to perfection and the kobe beef is worth its weight in gold. Besides the ample seating (up and down stairs avail. for seating), the bar serves up some mean martinis and the ambiance is perfect for a romantic date or a fun night out with a group of friends or co-workers. I give this place two thumbs up in a "Z" formation!!!

Pros: Food, ambience

Cons: $$$$

Posted 10/26/06

I have never heard of this place before and i eat a lot of sushi. I completely missed the place when i walked by because you have to go up the stairs like you're going to an apartment building (which it is). There is a lounge downstairs and restaurant upstairs. I would recommend fried shrimp with aioli sauce for appetizer..it was so good!!!!! I had a wide variety of sushi and i was very impressed. The sushi was phenomenal but the service was quite pathetic. The waitress never came to ask us if we need anything else. The food took forever. We were waiting for quite a while before we had to ask her again if the food is coming. I would recommend this place for good sushi.

Pros: Good Sushi

Cons: Bad Service

Posted 09/19/06

I was seated by the sushi bar so it was very loud, but I didn't mind it because all the chefs there were very entertaining and friendly and everyone was happy. As appetizers I had their 'eel dice roll' which was cleverly made and tasted like heaven! Best sushi I've ever had thus far. The other appetizer I ordered was the fried sea bass that came with this spicy sauce which I wasn't too thrilled about. It tasted kinda soapy for some mysterious reason. As an entree I had their broiled chilean sea bass and it was so tasty! I loved it! For dessert I had this chocolate cake which I wasn't impressed with at all. I would definitely go back to try the other items on their menu. Service was just decent.

Pros: food

Cons: noise

Posted 09/05/06

The irony is that despite everything on the menu [that we tried] being first rate, the 'basic' avocado salmon maki rolled in sesame seeds stands out as my favorite dish. For a chef to be able to make quintessential menu items memorable says something.

As for atmosphere, it's refreshing-- lighting, the wood floors, the upper and lower levels-- to have unpretentious chic.

Pros: Maki, Sake, Sushi

Cons: n/a

Posted 08/31/06

no other sushi place can be comparable with bond ( possible sushi 55 in LA). fresh is the point when eating sushi and you can't get any fresher ingredients like in this place.
dont' miss this japanese happy people greating!

Pros: the freshest sushi in new york town

Posted 06/29/06

Meticulous Attention to Detail.
Unique place settings.
Worth the $ and the wait.
Exotic Sushi selections, not your everyday sushi.

Pros: Exotic Sushi, Great Decor

Cons: A little loud believe it or not.

Posted 06/18/06

This is my favorite sushi restaurant in the city. Classy ambience, and the food is fresh and high quality. The upstairs dining area is great for a romantic date.

Pros: trendy, delish

Posted 06/04/06

I've been to Bond St 4 times already. The food is hit or miss. Some dishes are great but others just okay. I always order the Lobster Chawan Mushi. I've never had this better anywhere else. The Fried Shrimp in Spicy Aioli sauce is very very tasty. However the fried oysters are not that great. The Risotto is also very very tasty. The miso fish is okay too.

Pros: Tasty, Trendy

Cons: Some dishes so-so

Posted 05/22/06

I went there last night with a couple of friends and we were so disappointed with our waitress we seriously considered not tipping. She was unprepared to discuss the menu and recommend sake and overall extremely rude. Even the fact that she was pretty-it seems to be the only criteria they consider when hiring- didn't do much for her since she was so unfriendly and pretentious.
The food was okay. I recommend the crab cake and the seared tuna with foie gras for appetizers. The sushi and sashimi were not great so I would probably order a hot entrée instead.
I really like going to nice restaurants but would go for good service + good food over trendy anytime.

Pros: ambiance, prompt seating

Cons: servers

Posted 05/09/06

I recently went back to bondst. after not having been there in some time - it's now clear why they're still as popular as ever. Service was consientious and the food was delicious and fresh. The decor is nice but it could possibly use a bit of updating. It was also good to see that the same guy (with short dark hair) is still there at the front door. It's that kind of consistency that has turned bondst. into a New York institution.

Posted 05/01/06

I have been coming here for years and the food is more consistent than ever. A few new faces, but all the srevers are friendly and HOT. It is the best of everything here at this Exceptional sushi place

Posted 04/17/06

Nice atmosphere and trendy dining room but the food was only average and the service was confused at best and a disaster at worst. The waiter brought me a Sapporo, which was very nice of him but I ordered wine. Then they brought me a tempura entree, which I also did not order. We had to ask for my girlfriend's wine 3 times before it arrived. We even started joking with the couple next to us, who seemed equally disappointed. By the time we got our yellowtail, we both agreed that we'd had better at far cheaper places. Finally, it took them almost 45 minutes to get us our check after we asked for it. Maybe we just caught them on a bad night, but with so many great Japanese places in NYC, I can't imagine going back.

Pros: Atmosphere

Cons: Service, Value

Posted 03/20/06

Service: shamefully bad - the bartender was clipped and rude, setting the tone for the evening. It seems like the restaurant hiring practices are geared to cultivating an unfriendly, cooler-than-thou atmosphere. I got over aspiring to that level of obnoxious some time in the 90's, and wish the staff at BondSt would too!

If there is a redeeming factor about BondSt, its the food. It was inconsistent, though. The 6BondSt. and SushiSextet disappointed - over-marinated and combined with flavors that clashed versus complimented.

I recommend the kobe beef appetizer and the spicy tuna and crispy shrimp rolls. Skip the AkaDashi soup!

BondSt is run with a real sense of entitlement. They need to do more to earn repeat business to cultivate a strong following - their following is spotty at best, which doesn't bode well for staying-power in this tough city!

Cons: service

Posted 02/15/06

Went there on a Saturday Night. Lots of pretty girls looking for a rich guy. $10 beers (they only have 3, Kirin, Sapporo, and 1 other). Gets pretty crowded, definitely need a reservation for dinner. Bartenders look like model wannabes and threw out my friend's beer before he was finished (about 1/4 left). When he complained, he was told, "you were done with it anyway." A place to see and be seen, but if you're just looking to chill out and hang, this is not the place.

Pros: Trendy

Cons: Fake

Posted 02/02/06

We were lucky to get reservations a couple days before for a Friday nite. Super trendy...naturally. It's a nice spot though. Very romatic in the dining room. Because of our short reservations we had a table in the back by the sushi place.

The food was excellent and well presented. The salmon was very tastey and the sushi was very good. My only minus on the place....and if you are a fan of my posts you know I always have one, is that the smoked salmon sushi was too smoked. It hardend one side.

I hope to be back. If you are in the back room, must of the blue hairs don't know that they sushi people jaw at you when you leave and arrive b/c you need to show them RESPECT and bow. Most giggle and laugh.

Pros: Money Food

Posted 01/25/06

Have been going here for years and have always enjoyed outstanding food and service. There are cheaper places, but for the quality and atmosphere (and beautiful staff) I think it's totally worth it. They have always been very helpful about last-minute reservations and special occasions, too, which is definitely a big plus. I recommend sitting in the sushi bar area so you can watch the chefs - it's a lot of fun.

Posted 01/18/06

The food (sushi, the bass, tuna..yum!) and drinks (saketinis!) were wonderful. The decor was gorgeous and very zen-like. The restaurant even had an elevator. The place was packed. The hosts/hostesses looked like aspiring models/actresses. We made reservations and they called us up to offer us better seating, so that was a nice gesture. Our waitress unfortunately wasn't so great. She was a bit of an ice queen.

Pros: decor, food, drinks

Cons: service
