Experience Japanese dining in a beautiful, authentic Japanese restaurant located in the West Village of Manhattan. We offer the rich traditions of Japanese cooking with modern yet relaxed style of dining centered around a procession of small plates.


We adhere to the fundamentals of Japanese cooking: respecting the ingredients and their natural flavors, cooking in the moment, and letting the ingredients speak for themselves. We have created an extensive menu, featuring dishes such as saikyo miso black cod, stone grilled Ribeye and Wagyu steaks, an assortment of sashimi and sushi rolls and two signature EN Kaiseki tasting menus. To compliment your dining experience, we have developed a list of over 60 sakes and 30 shochus as well as carefully crafted signature cocktails and wine list. Polish your meal off with a choice from 80 Japanese whiskies, a lineup that is hard to beat.

    Everything was amazing. One thing is that the seating at the counter is not so comfortable especially if you have long legs. Very short space for legs. I will reserve a table next time.

    Over crowded on Valentine’s Day, with pretty terrible front of house. For about a $600 night including drinks and a tasting menu experience, we had to wait past our reservation time and fight for a seat at a table (instead of the sushi counter) despite having made reservations far in advance. For a five course tasting menu (mostly consisting of sashimi & raw food, which should take no time to prep) we were left waiting half an hour between each serving (which were tiny and quick to eat) Multiple times we were also brought someone else’s food and had to say “ oh we had that course already “ Normal menu looked better based on what others had. Very overpriced, terrible service, and just fine food.

    Went for dinner, found the wait staff to be almost annoyed at any request, food was mediocre at best and over priced. Also liquor completely over priced, got roped into $140 bottle of sake when all I wanted was a glass of sake. Lastly, it was loud as could be couldn’t hear yourself think

    Amazing meal! The aesthetic and ambience in the lounge area was soothing in the winter rainy weather. The food was delicious! Love the yuzu carpaccio, the tuna bowl the with butter soy dressing, and the clay pot rice with truffle! The soba pudding was also unique in flavors. 10/10 would come back to nyc just to eat here again!

    Servers were very busy, but took longer than expected to get order taken at counter seats. Once I received service food was very good and was brought out in a timely manner. Overall the kaiseki was very good and I would come back again. Was a bit on the expensive side.
