NYC | Why Doesn’t Secchu Yokota Have a Michelin Star?

I’m no food critic, but to my humble palate, their tempura omakase felt just as refined as a one-Michelin-star spot I tried in Japan. What’s more, the cozy, family-run vibe makes it so much more relaxing for those of us who don’t usually do “fancy dining.” The chef is calm and focused, while the service staff are warm and full of humor — one server even proudly showed us a comic he drew for his cousin, making us wonder if working here was actually his side gig 😄 And check out the first photo — the tempura shrimp is arranged like a dragon. So… does that make it lobster? 🐉🦐 #NYCEats #NYCOmakase #TempuraNYC #SecchuYokota #JapaneseFoodNYC #MichelinWorthy #HumbleFoodie #CozyVibes #NYCFoodie #HiddenGemNYC #UnofficialStar #NYCDining #FoodThoughts
