   Good food and value but seemed woefully understaffed. Our server was great but became hard to get his attention as the restaurant filled up.

   Smashed potatoes. Really, that’s it. And crispy rice, pork belly, and... smashed potatoes.

   The food was absolutely delicious - would highly recommend the miso pork. Variety of sake, knowledgeable servers. A little pricey but the quality of the food is worth it. My only complaint is we had a 7:30 reservation and were not seated till 7:45/50. The place was packed. But once we sat nothing felt rushed and it was a great meal.

   This is our second visit to Bessou and it was consistent with the first; interesting and friendly, low key and efficient. All our dishes were delicious, our waiter was warm and professional. It was a busy Friday night and we felt very well taken care of. Definitely will try to get here more often.

    This was our first time to try this restaurant. While the specialty Tonkatsu on Toast looked good, we went with our standard favorite of Udon. It was very mediocre. Just warm, not hot and the dashi broth was almost tasteless. This can not compare to the spectacular udon at Omen in SoHo (which unfortunately isn’t open for lunch). We also tried the homemade pickles which missed the mark as well. The restaurant itself was charming but very noisy with slow (but friendly) service. Overall not terrible, but I don’t see a compelling reason to go back.
