$$$$ • Sukiyaki • Chelsea
The historic Hotel Chelsea introduces Teruko, a refined Japanese restaurant with a thoughtfully curated sushi bar situated on the hotel's subterranean level. Operated by Sunday Hospitality and partner Charles Seich, the kitchen is helmed by Executive Chef Tadashi Ono, formerly of Matsuri at The Maritime Hotel, who focuses on traditional ingredients to create each dish. Named after Teruko Yokoi, the Japanese-born renowned artist who lived at Hotel Chelsea, the restaurant pays homage to her creative legacy displaying a collection of her original paintings throughout the space. Teruko is the latest addition to its acclaimed culinary program, following the celebrated relaunch of El Quijote and the debut of Lobby Bar and Café Chelsea.
