Comment: My 10th or so visit to this restaurant. Not every time has been perfect. This one was.Had the Salmon Caviar, A5 w White Truffles, Uni w White truffles, seaweed salad, sautéed spinach, duck tacos, uni w truffles, miso crème brûlée, and sake and half a bottle of champagne. Over $1000 w tip for two people. A lot of money for sure, but this is NYC, and it was top notch. Service, food and atmosphere were as close to 3 Star Mich (like its Masa namesake) as you can get.

Comment: An incredible experience. At Kappo you can travel through several Japanese cuisines in the same place. Sushi and sashimi are available, with fresh fish coming directly from Japan. Robata, delicious skewers roasted over coals. There is also creative cuisine, the duck fried rice is delicious. Of course, all of this has its price and the subscription to Masa, one of the most expensive in Manhattan. But its worth what it costs!!!

Comment: The food here is so delicious! I highly recommend the deserts of you have a sweet tooth. Everything here definitely comes with a price tag though so be prepared. The atmosphere is romantic and dim lit and it’s best to make reservations for a table. A lot of celebrities come here and I’ve sat next to a few at the bar! You definitely pay for the location and the ambiance here but thankfully the food, the drinks and possible celebrity run ins are worth it!

Comment: Kind of a power couple, Date-a-Model kind of place filled to the brim with people that haven’t worked since grandad built a railroad to somewhere and then started putting up libraries. You know the, let’s go see nan’s old things at the Met kind of crowd. Kind of like the Mark bar for those wishing a higher Mark as well. Place doubles as a watch museum. A smattering of young couples and groups fill out a somehow cozy and animated room. Decor is still beautiful although there is a godawful Hirst painting that almost ruins the interior. It’s disgusting, like someone vomited out all the ideas he’s never had onto a canvas in a desperate attempt at getting attention, a kind of painterly bulimic Insta model achingly gnawing on nails in search of salvation through approval put to paint kind of a thing. I don’t know what will fill the museums of the future but it won’t be Damien Thirst thank god. Staff is excellent and helpful. Food is still great. I kind of wanted to hate it but couldn’t. It’s expensive. But for a look into a kind of modern take on the The Masque of the Red Death, it’s hard to beat. Only better place is Nikki Beach. But Nikki Beach is vulgar, this isn’t vulgar. It’s good food, good cocktails, really good sushi, good ambience. The miso soup is nice and I recommend a Toki highball to accompany it all. In unrelated news I saw a homeless man wearing a Canada Goose jacket on the way home, so I guess trickle down economics is finally taking hold!

Comment: I brought my parents here as a spur-of-the-moment finisher after a whiskey tasting, so they were...enthusiastic diners, lets say. I called ahead to know if they would be able to seat us, and despite a full dining room, they accommodated us late arrivers with seats at the bar - no complaints here, as it was entirely last second. Overall the service was impeccable. Friendly, attentive, and graciously overlooking the tipsy faux pas of my giggling mother struggling with her chopsticks. 10/10 waitstaff.The food was great, with a couple of high points and a couple of low(er) ones. Everything was fresh, well-plated, and flavorful, though discerning palates might find some of the offerings less special than they would like for the price. The miso soup was very nice, a pleasant and mild opener. The Ohmi tataki was delectable, though unsurprisingly a bare mouthful in terms of serving size. I would certainly say its a must to try at least once. Duck fried rice with foie gras was quite good, though to my taste was a bit under-seasoned and extremely scallion-forward. Toro tartare with caviar was delicious (we ordered two), as was the signature Masa roll. The unagi roll lacked a certain punch - at the very least, there was nothing to set it apart from similar rolls had at a much lower price. Perhaps the most annoying part was the sashimi tasting platter, which arrived with two pieces of sashimi of each kind for a group of three. It would have been nice to either have been warned that it would not have enough for everyone to get a full piece, or have it priced per person. We ended up divvying up as best we could, as the sashimi was forgotten and did not come out until after the kitchen was closed. The rolls also came with five pieces per instead of the more typical six, which was again a bit of a hassle when everyone wants to try a bit of everything. For dessert we had the crème brulee, the grapefruit gratin, and the yuzu sorbet. The gratin was, again, nothing amazing, but a good palate cleanser. The crème brulee was very nice, silky and sweet without being eggy or overbearing. Personally, I found the yuzu sorbet to be the best of the bunch, with a bright and shockingly fresh flavor. I wouldnt have expected a cold dessert to carry the greeny citrus bite quite so effectively.All in all, worth a stop for a special event, but dont be fooled by the pricing estimates in some of these reviews. Barring a single glass of the Fladgate port, the meal altogether put us behind a grand for three people, with a relatively modest number of dishes and no alcohol. There were certainly no leftovers, anyway. Very much a fine dining experience, but I would say that unless you have the spending money, your cash might be put to better use elsewhere, because you are definitely paying in part for the prestige.

Comment: Great food! Quite expensive but very unique flavors and presentations. I recommend the rolls, kale frisee, toro tartare and caviar. The only dish we didn’t like was the steamed egg- strangely very rich and had a very unctuous, off aftertaste. Service and ambience were both excellent.

Comment: Its expensive, but you can enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine. Apparently they are buying from Japan, so they are closed on Sundays.
