New York's Hidden Japanese Gem 🌟

🌸Today, I finally managed to get a reservation and experience this highly praised Japanese restaurant! I had previously tried to walk in but couldn't get a table, and it had been on my mind ever since. 🏙️ Despite the biting winter wind outside, as soon as I stepped inside, I was captivated by the rich Japanese decor and the warm, tranquil atmosphere. It felt like I had instantly been transported to a cozy Japanese alleyway eatery. 🌇 Since it was a weekday and not too busy, there were only four tables occupied (I imagine it can seat about 12 tables when full), which only added to the serene and elegant vibe. 🌊 After getting the menu, my friend and I didn't hesitate to order the sushi dinner and chirashi, along with the must-try crispy tempura 🍔. The portions were more than enough to satisfy our taste buds. 🍃 What truly surprised me was the rich matcha-flavored matcha ice cream, which perfectly capped off the meal. After a brief chat with the owner, I learned that this place has been quietly persisting for 17 years. Both the sushi chef and the servers are Japanese, and their service is incredibly nice! 😊 🎢 Overall, this is a charming Japanese restaurant with authentic Japanese ambiance, fresh ingredients, and attentive service. I highly recommend it to all foodies who are looking for quality cuisine! 📍 103-01 Metropolitan Ave, Forest Hills, NY 11375 🧍🟰 $70-$100 #NewYork #JapaneseCuisine #SushiLovers 🌟
