   The food was good, although the portion was a little small. The way the staff welcomed my friend and me was truly unacceptable, to the extent that the friend insisted we should have left without eating. We arrived ON TIME at 5:30 pm. Immediately after I greeted the staff and told my name, the staff explained to me that the restaurant was fully booked afterwards and told us literally to "finish eating by 7:00 pm." "Are you fine with that?" That was too rude. I've never told by any U.S. restaurants upon checks-in that I should have finished eating in 1.5 hours. My thoughts on this: • Rude. I made the reservation from OpenTable, expecting I would have reasonable time to enjoy meals. If 1.5 hours is your strict policy allowing no delay, write it down on the reservation page! • American restaurants never say so. Some customers come late, some leave early, and restaurants do their best to manage the flows of customers. If a customer stayed unexpectedly long without eating and/or the next round of customers were waiting, then ask the customer to leave soon. That would be enough. • If the staff was to alert customers anyway, they could have just gently said, "we are fully booked from 7:00." No need to say "finish eating" on time as if I was a school kid. • Did the staff treat all customers EQUALLY? I can't believe so. There was a pair of regular customers to whom the executive chef came to greet and recommend various good food. Did the staff say to them the same? • Lastly, the table the staff member brought us to was right next to the loudly-talking unsophisticated regular customers, while all the other tables were available. Furthermore, not more than half of the tables were filled by the time we left in 65 minutes. Under the circumstances, the staff member could have brought us to a table apart from them. I had to ask the staff to change tables. The regular customers were talking as if the room was theirs.

   Cuisine was exquisite. The kitchen seems to be too busy, and too much intervals for the next dish. Timing to be served next dishes is also very important to enjoy the flow of the dinner.

   Food was good and the presentation was nice. However, the restaurant asked for proof of vaccination at the entrance and both my companion and I were taken by surprise, as very few restaurants require it these days. We were not informed that the restaurant required this information in advance, so we almost were not allowed in. The restaurant needs to better communicate with customers in advance if they require a proof of vaccination.

   Izakaya beef doesn’t taste like Wagyu. Seasoning was also poor because it’s hard to sense much taste or flavor out of the food, despite around this rather nicely designed ambience. Service was good tho.

    It’s been two years since I last dined at Kokage due to the pandemic—and could not have been more pleased, truly. The food was as tasty, fresh and authentic as ever. Please do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a meal—you won’t be disappointed.

    The food was good and a great place if you are looking for a quiet spacious place to have dinner with loved ones or quiet time to yourself. The waiter recommended something that is off menu and it was great. It is a shame that this restaurant will be closing after September 2022. Visit and enjoy while you can!

    I’d been curious about trying Kajitsu’s authentic Shojin Vegan food since years, yet my partner wanted to try Sashimi and Tempura. The solution was to dine in Kokage which was more than happy to accommodate. The experience was sublime. They’re closing for good in Sept. 2022, so for whomever may be interested, don’t wait or you may miss your opportunity.

    The thing is, several items we wanted to order weren’t available to us, including the most recommended namafu and another starter I couldn’t remember. No coffee no hoji tea oat milk latte because their chef was not there that day.

    Very authentic and well made food! We tried their seasonal hot soba with duck — impressed by their soup base, and their wagyu donburi — one of the best I’ve had in nyc. All the dishes are very strong in flavor so I’d recommend pairing with tea. Looking to try their oden next time.

    I came by with 4 friends on a Friday night. We were all super impressed by the ambience in the restaurant. FYI, it’s pretty quiet and spaced out so perfect for a date. The service was on the slower side but it seems like they didn’t have many workers. We ordered karaage and mochi skewers to share. I also had a sparkling matcha for a drink which was very refreshing and a duck soba (their signature) for my entree. I enjoyed the noodles and the generous amounts of scallions in the bowl. The broth was just right, not too savory. Though we enjoyed the overall experience, I would caution that the food is more on the expensive side.

    Just had few dishes, but couldn’t try the soba, because I were too full. I’ll definitely try the next time I visit. Sashimi was great quality and other dishes were great too. Nice ambience with cozy Japanese tea room concept. Want to try the shojin dishes of their sister restaurant as well.
