Amazing bar! one of my favorite places in NYC. Dassai 50 = sweet, refreshing, anise.
Fred TurkingtonMarch 14, 2018
Intimate atmosphere and a huge menu of sake.

Atmosphere is amazing and transports you to another world. Extensive drink menu, but the tapas are good too. Try the broiled eel, not too sticky/sweet like others.
Daniel Love JrAugust 27, 2017
Still the coolest place to grab drinks in NYC imo.
Kristina BudelisSeptember 23, 2016
Great vibes, great sake, delicious lycèe martini
NickMarch 24, 2015
It is DARK inside. Wasabi dumplings are incredible but its definitely more of a small group drinking establishment
Carrie LawsonJune 4, 2016
Amazing selection of sake & done good apps.

Underground Japanese bar - kinda like speaks easy but Japanese street version.
Andrea BarrezuetaOctober 21, 2014
Awesome underground bar... Really cool and different!
Itamar HauserOctober 9, 2014
Nice and pretty authentic Japanese atmosphere. However the service was one of the worst I've experienced in New York. I'm sorry to say this but the waiters have to learn English and drop the attitude.

Go for a late sake, you won't regret it!
Hannah ParvazOctober 19, 2016

The wasabi dumplings are where it's at!

Super nice spot, underground, the sake is not super expensive and the fish is fresh!

1800 ml bottle and edamame
Lisa RayleSeptember 15, 2015
Cozy hidden underground spot.
Srajan ManiAugust 24, 2014
Awesome ambience and ridiculously long sake list.
Katherine LynnApril 13, 2009
Underground, amazing sake menu, good for a date. Food is not stellar; it's for drinks and atmosphere. Order a cold, dry sake off the specials menu and enjoy a long conversation.
Gordon MeiApril 4, 2015
The daku is a nice creamy, cloudy sake.
Geoff KimFebruary 6, 2012
