Concierge.com's insider take:
Though he recently opened a New York outpost at the hip Gramercy Park Hotel, chef Yuji Wakiya's original Tokyo restaurant concentrates on the food, with no coolness factor to compete with the menu for attention (the vaguely Old World European interior design looks like it was left over from a former restaurant). This is Chinese food with a Japanese spin—small individual portions beautifully presented and served in consecutive, individual courses, not family-style. The set menu is a reasonably priced way to go, but nothing is astronomical. Don't miss the wontons in matsutake mushroom sauce or the shark's fin soup.
Open daily 11:30 am to 2:30 pm and 5:30 to 10 pm.
