Love it off the little Tokyo area on St.Marks. it is more grown ups, low key yet always good food and sake selection. Choose whatever seasonal, like the monkfish liver I got. Or anything uni!
Comforting yet inventive food, relaxed atmosphere and great service. Get the tartar, sashimi or steak bowls, crispy shrimp tempura, uni ramen. Specials rotate regularly and are always a treat!
Wasan offers up an excellent five-course menu at $55. Dishes like the the Spinach and Arugula salad with Duck and the Stone Grilled Sirloin Steak are superb. Don't leave with trying dessert.
Uni lovers rejoice over the spectacular "uni lover." Maine uni, uni chips, guac and garlic-peanut oil come together in the best uni appetizer ever. Check out my review on urchinsurchin.com
I'm afraid to write a review for this spot-- because I'm afraid it'll get too busy! It's a must try if you like Japanese. Get the foie gras and Uni lover sushi-- every time.
Their "late night ramen" is relatively cheap compared to their regular menu. Decent stuff and since it's open earlier (10-midnight fri/sat), you're not dealing with the drunken masses like at benkei.
