My favorite Japanese restaurant IS expensive - but the food is incredible! If you go during lunch - 11:30 to 2:00 - they do serve lunch specials - $16 to $25 sushi and sashimi platters. They are located at 7 East 47th Street - upstairs - and you MUST have a reservation (this may not be in the price range you are looking for, but keep it in mind - it's wonderful!);
I also like Ise on West 56th Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenue - excellent food - I love the deep fried oyster appetizer;
Mikata, a downtown restaurant on Centre Street and Walker -
reasonably priced, fresh, nice service. A great appetizer is a mixed seafood and vegetables with vinegar. At dinner, they serve a complete dinner for $28 - that consists of soup; salad,; an appetizer (either California rolls or shumai) ; an entree of lobster tail teriyaki (this is really, really good) served with your choice of tuna, shrimp, steak or chicken); dessert (I like the ginger ice cream); and tea. Excellent value!
Have a wonderful time at whatever restaurant you choose.
In the city about to eat some Japanese food. Our favourite place was closed to it's option number two!
ReplyDeleteMikata!
ReplyDeleteHm... aside from the fact that involves a Japanese martial art in a Chinese city, it's _possible_ you may be right. :)

I really really really don't want to go into the city for my japanese lesson today. I hate summer.
ReplyDeletewrapping gifts today, looking forward to check out a new japanese restaurant in the city 2nite. Lovely sunny day in Toronto!
ReplyDeleteYou're going to eat the Japanese? Is that before or after you terrorize the city?
ReplyDeleteOff to the big city (Tel Aviv) to hear a lecture about Japanese Architecture.
