We were here for 2024 Valentine's Day and it was an excellent experience. The value was more than there and we were extremely satisfied. From that experience, we decided to come back in August 2024 for our anniversary and it was a terrible disappointment. For $250 per person before tax and tip, we were served 8 pieces of subpar nigiri that was warm and at times had that not fresh "fishy" taste. And of the 8 nigiri pieces, 2-3 pieces were not even fresh fish, leaving only about 2 pieces of fish that tasted fresh and appetizing. Besides us was a couple that went for the $350 18 piece nigiri omakase, and theirs didn't look too much better than ours. We had better and fresher fish at a local sushi restaurant. We also had to wait a substantial amount of time between appetizer courses and was left staring at the chef until the chef realized our appetizer was still missing 10 minutes later. We were left extremely underwhelmed with our experience and felt that this was worth more along the lines of $100-$150 with the quality of fish and service received. In total, there is a mandatory 20% gratuity ($105 tip) and the final bill came out to be $681.76 with 2 drinks. Unfortunately from this experience, we began to understand why almost the entire Azabu restaurant was empty compared to completely packed in February; it felt as though they were trying to save money in little places like the freshness of the fish but that in turn had a huge impact. From today's underwhelming experience, we are disappointed to say that we will not be returning again.

I was disappointed with my dining experience at this restaurant. For $350 per person, I expected more interaction and assistance from the chef, but that wasn't the case. The staff member who prepared our food didn't engage with us at all. The environment was cramped, it’s way too close to each other, making it super uncomfortable. I was especially disappointed because this meal was to celebrate my partner's and my graduation, which should have been a special occasion. Instead, it felt rushed and left us both with a very bad experience. If you like to spend a bit more money, you could definitely find much better service and food elsewhere. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would only give this restaurant a 5. It's the kind of place we would never want to patronize again!!!!

We enjoyed the Chef’s omakase menu - great produce and a good balance of seasonal flavours, textures, colours and aromas. I would suggest patrons are advised to arrive at 8:15pm for an 8:30pm dining experience. If not the meal tends to start late as there are always some customers who show lack of respect to the Chef & fellow customers by showing up at 8:45pm, which then tends to delay the entire meal. The sake list is excellent!! Would definitely recommend this restaurant and re-book when I return to NYC.

The absolute coolest and most personal dining experience I’ve ever had. The attention to every detail by the staff is second to none. Incredible knowledge and variety of plates. Just go!

I had a fantastic experience at The Den in Miami, so I hoped The Den in NY would be similar. It was not. While The Den Miami had 3 chefs for 5 guests, the Sous Chef at The Den NY was by himself, serving Omakase customers & several other customers who were coming & going throughout the Omakase experience, interrupting the flow. So much for the exclusivity of The Den. While the raw fish was tasty and buttery, it wasn't exquisite like The Den Miami. I've never liked the texture of Umi (too slimy) so the Chef asked if I wanted something else. I requested another piece of tamago, but I never received it. I requested a mocktail with dessert and didn't receive that either. My server was loud and practically shouted that I “didn't like sake,” causing the entire bar to stare at me like I'm a philistine, even though I speak Japanese. I clarified that I don't drink alcohol and quietly asked the server to use his “inside voice” rather than startle me. I kept moving my finished sushi plates to the right so he could collect them in the counter space between customers instead of reaching over my body to clear them. After dinner but before dessert (1/3 of a thin slice of melon, exactly 3 tiny melon cubes), we were asked to move our seats from the bar to the tables so they could clean the counter for the next seating of Omakase customers, which was strangely unprofessional. I sat waiting at the table for my promised tamago and previously requested mocktail. However, the sous chef was already welcoming new guests, and the server forgot but still received a mandatory 20% gratuity for pouring $11 still water from a communal bottle. Ultimately, I received one bonus strawberry cut in half and spent over $250 but left hungry and disappointed by the inelegant, unfulfilling experience. The Sous Chef was the best part. He was friendly, kind, and talented, but he should have been allowed to focus only on his Omakase guests so the entire experience ran on time and felt special, not ordinary.
