Angura

Name:Angura
Address:196 2nd Avenue, New York City, NY
Phone:(212) 674-7060
Fax:(212) 674-7060
Opened:Daily: 6.30pm - 2am
Review:"Open since April 2004 Angura is the East Village's newest, underground, late-night Sushi & Sake hot spot and perhaps the only place in New York City where you can relax in a Barka Lounger and enjoy the finest sushi this side of the Tokyo fish market. Angura’s talented Sushi and Kitchen chefs are winning customers over with their masterful creations such as the Deep Sea Roll (Spicy Tuna on the inside topped with regular Tuna and the Chef’s special sauce) and from the kitchen, the heavenly, Baked Lobster Dynamite (a casserole-style dish consisting of lobster, shrimp, crab, scallops, mushrooms and onions over a bed of rice topped with a cream sauce and baked to perfection). Both the kitchen and sushi bar staff are on call until the wee hours to compliment the wonderful, eclectic selection of Sake available. The decor is lush and clandestine reminiscent of an old-style Japanese 'speakeasy'. The vibe is comfortable with an ever-present buzz fueled by the funky sounds of the Japanese Underground. Finally, New Yorkers have a 'chill' authentic sushi joint without the stiff, pretentious atmosphere that usually accompanies these eateries. Angura is a sub-level space open seven days a week located off Second Avenue between 12th and 13th streets. "

Opened:Mon-Thur: 5pm-2am, Fri-Sat: 5pm-3am, Sun:4pm-1am
Reviews:"This place has the best sushi I have ever had! The atmosphere of this place is very casual, and it has more of a ´bar´ feeling to it than a traditional Japanese restaurant feeling. If anything, it is nothing BUT traditional. It´s a great place and a lot of fun just to hang out at. They play loud popular music, and the walls are painted black... They have a great ´Early Bird Special´ that consists of soup, salad, appetizer, entree (choice of sushi, sashimi, tempura, various noodles) and ice cream, all for only $13.95 !"

Blue Ribbon Sushi

Name:Blue Ribbon Sushi
Address:119 Sullivan St., New York City, NY 10012
Phone:(212 ) 343-0404
Opened:Tue - Sun: 4pm - 2am, Closed Monday
Reviews:"It is a very unique place with incredible sushi, great service and great atmosphere. Try it!"
- nuritk@inter.net.il
"A few steps downstairs lead to this always crowded, ´no reservations taken´ Japanese restaurant. Be prepared for up to one hour waiting. Behind a tiny bar several sushi chefs prepare fine fish of all kind. For a start try ´Hamachi Tataki´ (yellowtail tartare with a quail egg) or ´Ebi Shumai´ (homemade shrimp dumplings). More than 2o appetizers are a good start for a dinner (´Yamakake´: grated mountain yam with tuna, ´Tako Sumiso´: house cured octopus sashimi, ´Una Kyu´: eel and cucumber) to name a few. Salads include ´Hamachi Mayashi Kyuri´ (yellowtail,beansprout and cucumber).Soups include plain ´Miso´, ´Kaibashira Wakame´ (scallop with seaweed) or ´Unagi Shiitake´ (eel and black mushroom).A few mushimono (steamed dishes) like ´Tai - Red Snapper with plum wine´, ´Yasai - vegetables with ginger´ or ´Hamachi with eel sauce´ are also available. But the main treat is sushi. ´Hamachi´ (yellowtail) and ´Sake´ (salmon) are excellent as well as ´Soft shell crab rolls´, ´Spicy crab lobster roll´, ´Inside Out´ variations of all kind. They offer sushi and sashimi a la carte from $1.75 for ´Tamago´ (sweet egg) to $3.75 for ´Toro´ (fatty tuna). You can even have ´Gyu´ (filet mignon) or ´Hitsuji´ (lamb) as sushi or sashimi. Rolls start at $3.75 for a ´California roll´ to $13.75 for a ´Niji Seven Color Rainbow´ roll, which is enormous. Blue ribbon is a nice place to go and certainly one of the finest in New York City."
- THE SUSHI WORLD GUIDE CREW [July 4th 1998]
"This place is highly over-rated. Besides their mediocre presentation and un-inspiring sushi, their service has hit rock bottom. In a city as grand as New York, Blue Ribbon Sushi has offered very little to support the service and diginity that comes with fine Japanese dining. In fact, it has given it a black eye. Having dined at many fine sushi restaurants, I recommend trying somwhere different in NYC than Blue Ribbon for fine and creative sushi. "

Review:"I haven´t yet decided if this is a tourist trap. The portions are rather small, but the prices are low. The hamachi don was fresh the one time I ate there. I will probably try it again when I am not very hungry or trying to conserve funds. They also accept the IGT dining card, which get you 25% off the bill (discount does not include tax or tip)."

Fujiyama Mama

Name:Fujiyama Mama
Address:467 Columbus Ave. (bet. 82nd & 83rd), New York City, NY
Phone:(212) 769-1144
Review:" ZAGAT gives this restaurant a great review every year and for good reasons. The sushi is high quality and reasonably priced and the rest of the menu is a great mix of very well done modern Japanese-Asian favorite dishes and recipes. Fujiyama Mama easily ranks as one of the funnest sushi restaurant in New York City. A live DJ spins all manner of dinner music, from 80's new wave to ultra-modern Japanese techno. People who are prone to asking for the music to be turned down should stay away, but people who don't want everyone else in the restaurant to hear what they're talking about will love it. This is also a terrific restaurant for a celebration, especially a birthday. The whole restaurant, including the DJ, gets involved. FM has been a hit since it opened in 1986 but some of the kitchen team have been working from that location for over a decade. FM's biggest fans are from the neighborhood; their delivery business has never stopped growing. It's so popular, the ownership is considering opening another one! The only drawback -- they're only open for dinner. "

"The place looks nice but you have to get past the overwhelming attitude... They´re not doing you a favor to let you eat there. If you want to eat here for the experience of the conveyor belt, try dinner and avoid the lunch crowds. Just don´t expect the customer-friendly service common to most Japanese restaurants."

Opened:Tue-Thu: noon - 2.30pm, 6pm - 10pm, Fri-Sat: noon - 2.30pm, 6pm - 10.30pm, Sun 6pm - 9.30pm, Closed Mondays
Review:"Honmura An is a Soba restaurant. The restaurant states that their Soba is all handmade on the premises by masters from their Tokyo restaurant using the highest quality freshly stone ground buckwheat flour. Soba is rich in vitamins and meritorious in reducing the cholesterol count in the blood. Freshly made Soba must be eaten quickly in order for Soba´s subtle flavor and texture to be fully appreciated (Quote from the chopsticks cover). Honmura An has a beautiful location like a huge loft. Very stylish but still cozy. They offer small tasting plates like ´Sansai Ni´ (marinated wild greens), ´Momiji Tataki´ (Carpaccio-style Japanese rare beef) or ´Prawn tempura´. Their giant prawns are specially shipped from Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo. They are enormous, succulent and sweet. Finally they serve noodles: Hot and Cold Soba as well as Udon. Cold Soba includes ´Kamo Seiro´ (Seiro Soba with a hot,duck based, dipping sauce), ´Nameko Oroshi´ (Daikon radish, scallion and button mushrooms) or ´Ten Seiro´ (Seiro Soba with giant prawn tempura). Hot Soba includes ´Okame´ (topped with seafood, vegetables and fillet of chicken in a rosy cheek figure), ´Kamonan´ (topped with sliced duck and scallions in a duck based soup) or ´Tempura Soba´ (with two giant prawn tempura). Udon includes ´Goma Dare Udon´ (Plain cold udon noodle with sesmae based dipping sauce) or ´Nabeyaki Udon´ (Sizzlinghot Udon in a clay dish with prawn tempura and topped with chicken, fish cake and vegetables). Desserts like ´Soba Shiruko´ (small Soba dumplings in sweet redbean soup) or Vanilla Icecream with Ogura (redbean topping). Prices for main dishes vary from $8.50 to $18.75. For lunch they offer a ´prix fixe´ for $18.00."

They can always pull together a table for 10, and if you're more than that, there's a large private room with karaoke that you can reserve free of charge (and the karaoke is free). In addition to the sushi menu available at Sandobe -- excellent house rolls and great sushi for very reasonable prices -- Jeollado has a kitchen that serves hot Japanese food (tempura and teriyaki that's not available at Sandobe) and Korean food.
