Comment: Went here for an early Valentine’s Day dinner with the lady and had an awesome time. Luckily I had read that there were no markings outside and you have to walk down a hallway to get into the restaurant or else I would’ve been lost lol. This contributes to the restaurants super specific, very cool ambiance. I thought the Mac and cheese was good, I thought the chicken karaage, and the truffle creamed spinach were very good, and the wagyu tartare was great! But the main event was the Miyazaki Wagyu steak. This steak was possibly the best I’ve ever had. Upon eating it my girlfriend turned and reported “This is the best piece of steak I’ve ever had.”Drinks were all awesome, experience was great, and I’ll definitely be bringing people to this place. Absolutely loved it.

Comment: Privileged to have came to this restaurant twice. Intimate setting, laid back, great food and very attentive staff.My love partner brought me here for Valentines Day and recently for my birthday. It’s one of his favorite restaurant. Their tasting menu were exquisite and their ala carte menu is actually really reasonably priced. Definitely holds a lot of food memories here.And special thanks and shoutout to the very well appreciated handwritten greetings with my birthday cake!

Comment: An exclusive referral only restaurant that caught our attention. The cocktails were good but the food was adequate. I don’t know if it was because I had my hopes up too high, but definitely planning on returning for more cocktails. Hope to seat at the bar sitting next time when I visit.

Comment: My friend took me here while I was visiting NYC and it was a great experience! I loved wagyu and foie rice even though I did not taste much foie. Wagyu platter was excellent also! Karaage is great too. The only perplexing dish was vegetable fondue (photo attached) which was actually recommended to us. It’s literally some cut up veggies with melted cheese… why?! But everything else was delicious and the service was very attentive.

Comment: Food was great, but I found the price too high for its portion, even considering inflation. On another note, not sure if it’s exclusive anymore since their menus are on display outside the restaurant.

She would extremely helpful with the options I could eat as a vegetarian. The atmosphere was very midcentury modern, with cozy, & candle lit. I loved the attention to detail and the focus on customers.The mac and cheese was amazing.Would definitely go again and recommend to friends.

Comment: A charming hideaway inside of Basquiat’s former work/live space. Book ahead - there are no walk-ins partially because this is an in-the-know place and partially because the space is small and intimate. The staff is very attentive, the plates are expertly prepared and the cocktails are inspired. Plan to share. Most plates are bite-sized and packed with flavor. Menu items are French-inspired like fondue, tartare, and roasted vegetables with heavy Japanese influences. While sushi was on the menu the night we visited, we stayed focused on the wagyu beef, which was outstanding as a sashimi dish.

Comment: Just trying to search for bohemian sets the stage for the wonderful experience you are about to have. The menu is made fresh every day and the entire staff is so focused on ensuring you have a wonderful dinning experience. The food was outstanding, our favorites being the salmon rice and pork belly rice. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful and took our dining experience to the next level.

Comment: This restaurant provides a secret phone number in order to get a reservation. The restaurant itself is inspired by the Japanese culture from the small space and foods they have as the restaurant is named Bohemian so is the interior design.The server was very friendly, we ordered some alcohol drinks which I was very fascinated by, while looking into the menu they had provide QR barcodes on the table however it was taking us very long time until the server arrived to order our food they might have forgotten to take our orders but somehow we understand that the servers are very busy on taking care of their other customers who showed up the same time, likely they asked us to leave and give us the check at 8.30 pm when we havent finished our food yet by telling us they had other customers coming for reservation which was not our responsibility if they hadnt left us waiting on taking our orders.From the appetizer we ordered the truffle and cream spinach with the french baguette, it was very well seasoned and creamy. We also ordered the Wagyu and Uni which comes in two pieces it was very well presented and the Uni is very rich however I would have take a little more seasoning on the wagyu. From the Meat section we ordered the Washugyu-Beef Steak Platter that has roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes it was very crispy and nicely brown they had given us 2 options from the Steak on the right it was more lean that would fit together with the sauce they had provided and on the left it was very juicy that would fit together with a pinch of sea salt I will totally recommend to order the Steak Platter which was absolutely delicious . Lastly we got the Pan Seared Duck Breast that comes with red miso and arugula salad to make the taste even, unfortunately the duck was overcooked and hardly to chew.Im thanking the restaurant from giving us a nice journey of their cookings and servings, I will come back and try other foods from the menu.

Comment: Bohemian is literally a hidden gem in East Village since you need to walk through an aisle in order to find the entrance. It is located right next to Japan Premium Beef, which is one of our favorite spots for high quality beef.Their outdoor dining area is humble and simple with heater that’s not too strong. We felt extremely freezing while dining so we recommend to have take-out or delivery.Their food is delicate and delicious, especially the mushroom risotto. They are well-prepared for the restaurant week and serve 5 different options with a valuable price.

Comment: I’ve been coming to speakeasy Japanese restaurant Bohemian for over ten years now and it’s still my favorite place in NoHo. I’m not kidding when I say that there was a time when we used to come here every month. It’s a “secret” restaurant, where you won’t be able to get reservations unless you have their phone number, but now they are open for online reservations and takeout/delivery for the first time ever. The restaurant is housed inside a building that used to be Andy Warhol’s apartment and this is part of the experience.Although this is a Japanese restaurant the food is more Japanese-European fusion than Japanese. They have a tasting menu as well as an a la carte menu. While there will be some dishes from their tasting menu on the a la carte menu, I would highly recommend doing the tasting menu if it’s your first time here because it has all of their signature dishes and the tasting menu is really affordable for a restaurant of this quality. The tasting menu usually comes with the vegetable fondue, uni croquet, pan-roasted branzino, beef sashimi, a choice of either the sashimi rice bowl or the washu beef mini burgers, and then the dessert. Everything is amazing and you seriously can’t go wrong with ordering anything off their menu even if you decide to do the a la carte. Due to COVID19 indoor dining is prohibited in New York until further notice so while you can still do takeout or delivery from Bohemian, you’ll have to wait to do the tasting menu until they reopen for indoor dining, but hopefully this will give you something to look forward to!

Comment: Phenomenal experience from start to finish. Given the place is referral only, we thought it may be a bit pretentious inside. It was anything but.It’s like sitting in someone’s lounge room - the vibe is very relaxed. The staff are excellent. So friendly, so attentive.We ordered four main dishes and a side (which was a LOT!) as well as a cocktail. The Mint Gold cocktail was excellent.Every dish was outstanding, but especially the branzino - would come back just for that! We considered doing the $80 tasting menu but decided ordering our own and we had a lot for about $55 each.It’s not the cheapest place to go, but it’s worth every cent.

Comment: A secret hidden Japanese modern restaurant. Reservation only, and either you dine here before of you need to refer by someone to make a reservation.We made 6:30 bar seats. Actually I think its good, the table was tall with plenty of room. I used to seat regular seat. Somehow I feel the table was too low to eat. So I think bar seat was perfect!We start with farmer fresh vegetable fondue. The vegetable was super fresh. But the cheese was super delicious! We finish all the cheese lol. The pic was small size. Good for 2 -3 people to shareUni croquette: crispy outsize with creamy mushroom filling. And few uni in the top. Really incredible. But it was $20sth for 1 piece. Not cheap!Mac and cheese: It was really good. And Mac and cheese was really creamy and cheesy. The top tomato toast balance the heavy cheese taste.Washi beef tartare: good quality of beef, not much seasoning. You dip the salt and mustard. You can taste of real beef.Pan fried branzino- this is one of my favorite dish. 2 of us order a large one! And I order this everytime I come. Whole dish was incredible. The fish was juicy and fresh. And the vegetable on the side like potatoes, mushroom, zucchini, was so delicious. I recommend you order this when you come!Matcha cake: like fresh matcha hot cake. The moganstern strawberry icecream was really good.It was really nice restaurant. The ambiance was great, and the food is always amazing. And the secret hidden part just made me want to come back everytime haha!

Comment: Bohemians experience lies mostly in the ambience and atmosphere. Sure it probably took a little work to get in this referral-only place but its worth the back and forth email exchanging to arrange a reservation. The food was pretty good, we had a group of 4 and tried the omakase, it was a nice dinner overall. Some dishes really good while others I felt lacked slightly. The drinks are fantastic, I recommend the Type C.

Comment: Small and intimate space ranging from small tables, lounge-like seating, and the bar. Good ambient vibes! Format of the menu consists of a la carte, tasting menu (selected), as well as an omakase offering. All dishes are perfectly prepared that pair well with an interesting drinks menu. The one oversight from the service was not being informed that our service was timed until 15 minutes after the fact. While a minor mishap, I would certainly return.

Comment: Really great surprise from my honey for our anniversary. We ordered the omakase set. Was worth. Everything paired well with the cocktails we ordered. The steak was well cooked. Since he enjoys it more well than I, it was nice that the skillet continued to cook his meat more for him. If you tell them ahead of time, you can get icecream with a nice note wishing you happy anniversary. We found out because the couple next to us had that presented to them. Unfortunately, no such surprise for us. However, the omakase was really quite filling eitherway - and comes with its own dessert.

Comment: It is always a pleasure to dine there. Not a perfect score because they overcooked both the burger and the steak this time - which they apologized profusely and offered a courtesy dessert. I am sure they would redo it if there wasnt the time restraint of two hours per seating (we were there at the earlier dining slot). Very attentive service, cozy ambience, great food. A must go place in NYC worth the effort to get their number and book 30 days in advance.

Comment: Delicious hidden spot in NoHo. The restaurant is located behind a retail store in Andy Warhol’s old apartment. You wouldn’t know about this place unless you’re a New Yorker so no tourists here for sure. My only qualm is, this restaurant is too pretentious for what it is. You have to be invited to dine here and when you do come, the food is great, don’t get me wrong. But, the food is not outstanding enough that should claim an “invite only” policy. It’s not even Michelin recommended or starred! Go through the hassle to explain why you should dine here but don’t expect the best meal of your life.

Comment: It took a bio in order to get a phone number to this place. After some time I was given the number and able to make a reservation. They are taken up to 1 month in advance and they were able to accommodate us for my wifes birthday. When you arrive there is no sign as you can see from the online photos. Take the hallway on the side until you reach a door that is covered. They will buzz you in and you enter a small private restaurant. The decor is very speak easy style with a nice in door garden in the back of the place. There is bar seating as well. We were shown to our table and I am not a tall guy (57) but the chairs and table are shorter style and was a bit awkward to sit and eat but we managed. The drink menu was first and if you like cocktails they have a variety to suit everyone with very eclectic drinks. There is a great selection of wine and sake as well. The drinks we had were wonderful. We did the Omakase tasting menu and left it to the chef and we were happy. One dish after another was crafted with perfection. The fish was so fresh that it melted in your mouth. The duck breast in broth was tender. The steak came out a perfect temperature and served with a side of truffle spinach mashed potatoes that were gone fast. The dessert I think could have been more interesting given the menu but the vanilla bean ice cream did taste silky. I highly recommend you give this place a chance.

Comment: One of the finest restaurants Ive ever had the pleasure to experience. Very exclusive. You must know someone to even make a reservation. We went with a group of friends for a birthday and was fortunate enough to try many of the dishes there. The food was amazing. We each got the coursed out meals and added a few extra dishes. It came out to be 7 or 8 course meal. We were so stuffed by the end and could barely finish the last few courses. The presentation was great and the service was excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant, its definitely worth the experience.

Comment: Hip little spot which is difficult to get a reservation but once inside is worth it. Menu is interesting but all the food we tried were delicious. Drinks were very well made. The only reason for the 4 stars was the service. Waitress acted like she didnt want to be there and they rushed us out to make room for the next seating. Also, the chairs were uncomfortable, more like couches and leather seats and I felt like I was hunched over the whole time. Other than that Ill be back.

Comment: Bohemian entered the list of my favorite places after the very first visit! If you are lucky to get a reservation youll enter this living rooms style space with large armchairs. It has a cozy feeling but its not too crowded. I really enjoyed the branzino, sliders, and meat sashimi. Do try the wasabi with the sashimi. Will be back to try the steak and other items on the menu!
