Melody Han: Come for lunch on the weekend and there's no wait. For summer - the cold kimchi soba is revolutionary. Served with just-cooked egg, cool and filling and refreshing.
Melody Han: Best ramen broth in the city, but be prepared to wait. Go early, put your name in for a specific time, and come back when you're ready to eat.
Melody Han: Neighborhood gem, sexy and well hidden. Japanese meatballs are served with fried eggs, great sake and shochu selection. Pay attention to the specials.
Melody Han: A step up from the St. Marks chaos of Yakitori Taisho and Oh Taisho - darker, more grown up, better food. Crispy fried squid legs, ikura don, sake.
Melody Han: Expansive and a wee expensive. Really effing good cold tofu (housemade) and wagyu beef that dissolves on your tongue. $65 tasting menu available.
Melody Han: Dark, sexy, food only so-so but a cool place to take a date who'll dig the grafittied walls and the Japanese punk rock bartender. If you must eat, dried stingray with Kewpie mayo a good bet.
Melody Han: Omakase all the way. Master chef prepares the omakase while his apprentices make the sushi for table service. Otoro melts in your mouth and that white shrimp is 👌!
Melody Han: There's no sushi bar seating so the omakase isn't served piece by piece. Still the best mid-range omakase in the 'hood (~$50 for 10 pieces) and fantastic kitchen apps
Melody Han: I've heard it called a poor man's Nakazawa which is awesome for me since I'm not baller enough to Nakazawa frequently. Kura has solid fish and entertaining service courtesy of chef. Get the omakase.
Melody Han: One of the few NYC places you can find spicy tuna in crispy rice - which is pretty ubiquitous in the LA sushi scene. Pricey, though - great for client dinners
Melody Han: Three pieces from the omakase that I can't stop thinking about: perfectly seared salmon, scallop and uni, Maine uni. The sake somm is excellent.

Melody Han: Hand carved ice ball for your Yamazaki on the rocks. Forego the tasting menu but don't forget to try the foie gras soba. Branzino perfect for sharing.
Eater: These noodles are like a cross between the common udon we are familiar with and Italian linguine. The simplest, featuring fried bean curd or egg comes with seaweed or tempura (pick veg. or shrimp).
