Sometimes there are places you just can't help but walk in to. Like this subterranean joint, Yakiniku Gen, which advertises Japanese barbecue. I mean eating und...
This place looks like hell from the outside. It's as if the entire city shat on its awning. The inside is a little less beat up, but is apparently intentionally...
This place is like a wacky arcade with a Hideki Matsui (#55) obsession. As if the three exclamation points in the name weren't clue enough, this joint is just p...
Apparently this place used to be "hot" at some point. Hell, I know so little about what's hot that it could still be "hot" now, and I wouldn't have the slig...
I swear I went to have a meal here back in like the mid-90s when Ms. Hipster lived on the UWS. That meal ended with a glass of water and some frayed nerves. H...
No, but seriously, what the fuck is going on here? A small group of us stopped in here towards the end of the night out of sheer curiosity and outright conf...
There are certainly some weird "fusion" places out there, but this is amongst the strangest. Actually fusion isn't the correct word at all, as Sawa doesn't ...
For some reason the name of this place looks really cool written out. Look at it. There's something about the way the 'z' and 'k' set each other off, I think. B...
There was a time when my sushi consumption consisted of Teriyaki Boy and trips out to L.A. to visit my folks. Anything more than the $4.99 eel roll lunch sp...
Ono is apparently Japanese for "eh." Or perhaps it's Meatpacking District lingo for "style over substance." Quite honestly I was too busy looking around at ...
Eating on someone else's dime has its privileges. It frees you up from the guilt associated with blowing a paycheck on uncooked sea creatures and booze. Combine...
Is there such a word as "nugglets?" I only ask because that's what Yummy Sushi's chicken teriyaki elicited from my skewed sense of culinary crockery. It's t...
Eating on the second floor in Manhattan is always a little disconcerting. It's as if one of your buddies converted his one bedroom into a restaurant and invited...
I cannot tell a lie: I think this biatch is closed. Good, they shouldn't have been sticking their nose into the crap, take-out sushi business anyway.
&n...
It's Japanese. It's Korean. It's both, yet the Korean gets completely short-changed on the awning. It's a shame folks walking by won't know that there's rot...
Isn't Momo the name of a mime or a chimp or something? Maybe I'm thinking of Coco, but either way the name doesn't exactly inspire me to want to eat here. T...
Excuse me, would you like some chicken with your cartilage? Although this is not a real option at Teriyaki Boy, we certainly wish it was. This guys are abou...
As plain-wrap Japanese restaurants go, this one is the plainest. They barely had the energy to add anything but the words "Japanese Restaurant" to their bir...
