Came here for happy hour. Quality sushi, great shrimp appetizer and really good service. Recommend if your in the area!
Nice place for ramen. The veggie ramen came with lots and lots of vegetables and was a decent portion size. The edamame was also pretty good. The menu has a lot of options which made it slightly hard to choose though. Friendly staff and overall nice experience.
Stop by here after shopping in Soho! Just a typical Japanese restaurant, nothing special. We got the chicken Karagee, spicy ramen ($20), taste is alright. Order a cocktail l, sparkling Kyoto ($16), not great. I don’t know, I just don’t think it worth the price.
Their sushi was incredibly fresh! The service was fast and the environment felt cozy and fresh. I liked the feel and would go back!I got the rainbow roll and salmon cucumber roll. The fish was excellent. Highly recommend the rainbow roll the pieces were huge, but no problem for me and my big mouth. Small mouths beware ;). But for me it meant more fish and they gave me plenty!
Wanted to sit outside but were ignored. Moved inside. Watched giant cockroach scurry across floor to another guest. We all looked at each other with disgust wondering where he was going next. As we were leaving saw cockroach, (believed to be same one but dunno) was smashed on floor near hostess station. If youre gonna kill it at least pick it up so incoming customers dont see it.
It was okay food, nothing special, little overpriced but you are in TriBeCa so embrace it.Draft beer was not cold, not fresh like no one change their machine hoses and valves.When they brought the check, that was a real scam.They suggested to pay 20% or 23% or even 25% for tips, AFTER TAX.
My gf and I celebrated Valentines day at Zutto. We are very pleased with the private booth setup by the curbside as well as its delicious food. Though I am not suggesting the Japanese cuisine is done at the most authentic way, the food is served with a generous portion and very delicious. The karaage are huge and surprisingly juicy for the size. Most if not all the ramen are served with 5 giant pork belly(I put mine aside).Would definitely visit again.
The food is always great here. The Ramen is very well priced at $18 with a huge portion it to fit share. They also have great sushi and other things. You’ll love this place it’s a very nice place with nice charm. Very Japanese style. Outdoor seating during Cove it was very nice though hopefully we can now start eating inside more.
4.5 stars rounds up to 5 because of atmosphere. Cozy restaurant with friendly service. Quiet enough to have a conversation, but spacious enough to come with a small group. We had ramen, tuna tartare (special), and takoyaki. The ramen and takoyaki were great, authentic flavors and generous portions. The tuna tartare was just ok, under-seasoned for my taste. Cocktails were good and at $14 reasonable for NY.
We wanted to get a quick bite before heading over to the Django and Im glad we found this gem. The service was excellent and the sushi was very fresh. For our appetizer, we ordered Seared 3 ways. It came served with a beautiful presentation. We ordered the Gulf of Mexico roll and the Lover roll. The Lover Roll had a a slight kick to it but just enough to give it a great flavor (I asked for no Sriracha on mine).
I loved the short rib and pork buns. Enjoyed the happy hour drinks and lunch special.
Quiet spot in Tribeca a meal. Hit this place a lunch, service was on the slower side but it allowed for more time adjust to the pace of the place. Chicken Katsu Burger was made to order and was very good. Cold ramen was also very tasty.
Had dinner there for first time and it will be last time! Sushi was not French at all … ramen tasted bad and I would say instant noodle taste much better… the chicken wings we expected them to be Japanese style … they didn’t taste good at all and the burger buns same thing…. Overall horrible experience and if I would I will give it zero rating
Not a bad ramen place. We ordered a bunch of dishes, and they were all not bad. I wouldn’t say it’s the best ramen I’ve ever had. The Spicy Tonkotsu broth was lacking in flavor, but the other ingredients were nice. Would recommend coming here if you’re in the Tribeca area, as it is one of the only Japanese places in the area. Place was pretty packed on a Monday night.
Used to be a great place. Decent food, fast delivery nice location.In restaurant service has become less than mediocre - slow and constant getting orders mixed up. Delivery (which was one of their + in terms of speed and accuracy) has gone down the drain.I don’t order from them as much anymore and with my last order being 45+ minute late and after being told from the manager (over the phone) to come and pick it up if I wanted - just because I am 10 min walk away - have finally sealed my last order from Zutto, ever.Stay away while you can.
Good pork buns, great salmon, not the best ramen but ok. Great service. Everything was a bit too salty.
Came here tonight, November 29th. Ordered the Fire Roll, rice, and a Japanese cocktail.The sushi was just okay. The cocktail was average. The service was good though.
Our food was very tasty, the staff was friendly and welcoming, we really liked this place.
TriBeCa mainstay for what feels like 25 years. Great Ramen. They have like 8 different types. Have a drink at Puffy’s next door when you are done.
Delicious food. The burger is great
JAPAN 🇯🇵Eat the World NYC review:Not expecting much from a Tribeca Japanese restaurant, it would have been easy to have been pleased by decent ramen. But these bowls from Zutto went well above and make for a great option when in an otherwise generally uninteresting location for world foods. It also calls itself a Japanese American Pub and has a long list of alcoholic options for anyone interested in some drinking culture.°The full story today on our website.
Everything was delicious!!! Samantha our server was amazing too. what a great way to finish our day!!!
We stopped by for our anniversary dinner after making reservations (which was super easy online). Our waitress was very nice and was able to help with recommendations. We tried the miso soup, which was good although maybe a little too packed with mushrooms and tofu so there was very little soup. The ramen was excellent, the noodles definitely seemed hand made. They also had really good fried chicken. We also got a mixed drink and a Japanese beer and they were also both good. I would recommend coming here quite hungry, we were unfortunately still full from lunch and couldnt completely enjoy their menu, but its definitely a place to enjoy! The outdoor seating was really nice as well.
Came here on recommendation of a friend. Guess were still friends. Only tried the ramen but it was definitely good. The Pork was super tender and just fell apart in your mouth. The broth had a solid consultancy not oily at all. Looking forward to coming back and trying other items.
Restaurant provides outdoor dining. Food was very good and customer service was great! Thank you!
The best sushi I’ve ever had!! Samantha was the best and gave us the best service
Had the fried chicken appetizer, seafood ramen, mochi, and hot sake. Everything was very good and well portioned. Also the service here is phenomenal. The manager, Joel, is super welcoming and I will definitely be returning!
Ramen was delicious. The fried chicken was good but not quite for my palette. The lime and fish sauce was a weird combo to me.The Shrimp Tempura was nothing to write home about.But the Ramen, the soup was very delectable and the pork absorbed the soup very nicely. I drank all the soup since it was so good.Not sure what the ice cream on the restaurant week was, but it was ok, just standard ice cream.
Good value for the location, definitely leans more American than Japanese. The gua bao (Taiwanese steamed bun) appetisers were great, the hamachi (yellowtail) sashimi was bland and poor quality fish. Ramen portions were huge and the chashu pork topping was good, but the tonkotsu soup lacked any richness or flavour other than salt and the chili oil on top, and the noodles were very soft. Nice to have Japanese beers on draft.
Ordered the “tonkotsu shoyu” for $17 - very homely tasting. Never tried it with spinach before but was still a nice addition! Sushi was okay, could skip it.
A gem of a place in the tribeca neighbourhood. We used to go to the place often for lunch.l and were never disappointed. Definitly get the shishito peppers. The octobus balls are pretty good and the ramen is also pretty great. I also tried the chirashi bowl one time and it was really fresh and yum.
Did their restaurant week. Personally don’t think it’s authentic Japanese. Buns are soggy and ole bowl ok with pineapple which is a bit strange combination with salmon. Husband’s miso soup is not hot enough and dessert is regular two scoops ice cream which I cannot tell what flavour it is
Reliably good. Veg Raman, shrimp appetizer, and pork belly buns are a must.
Pretty good. I ordered take out... The short rib buns are a little tough and the pork bun could be more crispy. But still tasty. It was packed really well, no leaks!
A lil slow in service but staff was great fried rice was great wonton ramen was great
Food is delicious and great service! Definately i will come back!
Good ramen bar, a bit pricey for what you get
This review is on behalf of my boyfriend, but he says that the Uni in this restaurant is the best he has ever had and he eats a lot of Japanese food. He says that the sushi chef are some bad a$$ mothers and that they deserve your respect...so leave a tip. And that’s all folks.I don’t eat Uni, but I will say that the service was amazing the set up for COVID was great and we always have coming to this place.
Really enjoyed Zutto! Sashimi was very good and the kimchi ramen really excellent! So good we went back a second time after just a few days
Excellent staff. They enjoy your presence and you enjoy theirs too! I did not get the chance to eat here because of personal issues, but the time that I could visit was very pleasant. Food looked really good on peoples tables.
Nice place, perfect for hanging out with friends. Sushi was ok.
Ordered food from zutto on Uber eats to eat on our hotel balcony. Every dish was amazing and the food came really quickly! The pork belly sliders were the best, also had katsu chicken and chorizo fried rice. All really good! Possibly the beat food we had on our weekend up from DC!
Karage is crispy，large. very good
The food is absolutely amazing! I came to this resturant because the sushi and Ramen in this resturant is the best out of any other. If your looking for a place for really good Ramen and sushi, this is the perfect place for you!
Such a well decorated place, the servers are so perfectly attentive and focused on your enjoyment- they really know their menu and how to recommend to ensure you enjoy their dishes. The fried chicken in the steamed bun was so delicious, not dry at all. The oysters extremely fresh, the sake very tasty, but better cold.I would definitely come back here without questions
Outstanding sushi, sake, and staff. Our waiter was incredibly attentive and friendly and the sushi chefs did a great job. While not on the menu, we’d highly recommend the Twin roll.
From the moment you enter this restaurant they give you an excellent feeling. Very hospitable team, it is a lovely place to hang out with friends or with your date. delightful cooking, talented chef de cuisine, reasonable cost and courteous service. Warmly recommended.
Overall solid experience. Had the buffalo cauliflower wings, which were slightly undercooked, but had decent flavor. For the ramen, I had the spicy chicken ramen with thick noodles and enjoyed the overall flavor. Wouldnt put this ramen in my top 10 ramen shops, but it is quick easy and fairly priced with a chill atmosphere.
This is our go-to for sushi and sashimi dinners for take-out. They follow Covid-19 protocols: getting your contact information, taking temperatures, wearing gloves, and wearing masks. Service is prompt and friendly. The edamame and gyoza are delicious. My daughters love the ramen and noodles. Its in the center of Tribeca, and the prices are reasonable.
Nice atmosphere. I never tasted sushi I actually liked until I came here. Fried chicken was amazing along with the Tonkatsu ramen, I preferred it more over the spicy one.
Love this place! Best ramen ever. Top ingredients, great preparation. Don’t miss it! Great sushi, too
Its been years since weve been here.... And will likely be years before we return. I recall the Sushi being great and the prices reasonable but now the Sushi is OK and the prices are expensive.... I dont mind paying but I expect better quality.... The tuna was good, but the eel was cold and the yellow fish dry.. The room was also so cold, everyone was wearing jackets and sweaters, including the staff.... Food came out slowly and even though half the group ordered soup, it came out at the end... Like when everyone else was done with everything else. Our waiter did give a discount for the trouble, which was nice, probably would have received two stars if he had not... There was also an automatic 20% tip added... Which I dont mind but when they came back with the credit card receipt, theres no mention of the 20% already included, just the total and for your convenience what another 18, 20 and 25% of the total would be.... Just a bad practice which doesnt sit well with me. Ramen was good as was the cauliflower wings.
The spicy chicken ramen with soft boiled egg was excellent. Spicy tuna roll was good, quite mild though. No kids options available. Only noodles and broth for the 7 year old had same price tag as ours. Staff was distracted although we were the only ones there. Would have been better if theyd been a little more attentive.
Amazing food, clean place
This place has the best ramen noodle in the neighborhood.
Nice place, ramen is ok
First trip to NYC. I wanted to compare Zutto to my Florida favorites so I ordered my usual Dragon roll and Volcano. No joke, it was the best Ive ever had! If lived here I wouldnt get sushi Anywhere else. And the ramen? OMG
Cant go wrong with their buns (particularly their short rib buns) or crispy rock shrimp for appetizers. Their ramen is also about as good as youll find in lower Manhattan. The service can be a touch slow (for example, bringing your party their dishes at different times) but its forgivable given the quality of the food
Really good ramen. Sushi is ok, Id really go for the ramen. Friendly staff.
The food was inedible. Really just flavorless and low quality.
Decor is much improved with their recent renovations. Food and service are both fantastic. Steamed buns are great...Gang Nam Style Spicy pork is delicious. Sampled a variety of sushi that could have fed a small army. Everything was fresh and fantastic.
This place was easily the best Japanese restaurant Ive been to! The manager Joel was super friendly and gave us such great service and not to mention the food was amazing. The ramen was absolutely delicious! Definitely will be back to try the sushi next time!
So *when* this place has seats open, its totally worth it to grab one of them! We had the Zutto Japanese American Pub with chicken miso broth and it was FRIGGIN SUPERB. My bf ordered the pork loin miso and it was savory and very flavorful. Definitely a nice spot.Zutto Japanese American Pub
Enjoyable space and friendly attentive staff. Be sure to get the steamed buns, really love the Panko Miso Cod. Disappointed that I never feel the ramen broth is hot enough, have visited multiple times to see if it improves. Sushi and other apps are solid. Fix the ramen tempature and this is a worth spot for a quick bite.
One of the best ramen/sushi spots in the city. Nice little happy hour too, it seems like a family run business because everyone there is super nice and gave great service. Not to mention the fact that the food was delicious. The spicy chicken is to die for and every sushi roll I’ve had has been great
My friend and I got spicy miso ramen, a poke bowl and some sushi. All the food was delicious, the staff were really friendly, and the outdoor dining was great.
They serve mainly sushi and ramen--a sure sign of an Americanized establishment since these two things dont normally co-exist in Japan since both are hard to master. The shoyu and spicy chicken ramen we ordered were not bad as far as soup noodles go, but I wouldnt put them up among the authentic ramen places in NYC. This is still a nice place to hang out if you are in the neighborhood, I just wouldnt come here especially for their ramen. (cant comment on the shushi since we didnt have any)
This is definitely not a traditional ramen place but they offer many options that are quite good. The service is a little slow for lunch but friendly enough.We started with the calamari that was nicely light and crispy. It came with a really great spicy, vinegary green papaya slaw.The duck ramen is delicious with the noodles cooked perfectly. The broth is a bit oily but not surprising since it is duck and had a lot of flavor. The Parma Karma had a nice herbal Italian-influenced broth that was interesting and worked well.There is outdoor seating for people watching and is a great choice for the area. Would love to try some of their other unique ramen offerings.
Way overpriced and all my toppings for my ramen came out cold. They didn’t even bother heating them up from the fridge, they just stuck them directly on top of some microwaved noodles and broth. Service was terrible, the food took forever to arrive and obviously was not fresh. And it was expensive! Never coming back here.
OMG..! The Love of My Life took me here to let me experience a real raman dinner. Well worth the price, the portions are amazing, and the freshness is unbeatable.!We make it a Bi- Monthly tradition to eat at Zutto.You should 2!! Mmmmmm!!
Tasty Spicy Miso Ramen , with some of the most delicious ground pork Ive ever had. They seasoned it so well. The only thing I didnt like was the soft boiled egg, which was cold. It did take a while for the ramen to come out (20-30min)
Noodle theory was great!! The restaurant space is quite small, so its a fairly intimate setting inside. I came on Friday night with other friend and we sat on the bar area (not rlly a bar but the tables are set up that way). It was a really small space but I didnt mind too much.Zutto Japanese American Pub
Food was nothing to write home about. I had breaded pork with fried rice and it was alright. The pork was too dry and fried rice was surprisingly spicy. Also, my amaretto sour was very strong. That may not be an issue for some people but it didnt even taste like one. I would go back though since my friend raves about the ramen noodles and the place was full.
The space changed owner/management and now offers delicious ramen and buns, a full sushi bar as well as tasty dessert options (try the Coffee and Donuts). A solid wine, beer and sake list is available. Its a little out of the way to get to, but definitely a fun place to come with a group and sit at the long communal table in the center of the restaurant.
This place is my favorite restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to that place. everytime I want to go to a superb lunch, this is the place that comes instantly to my head. exeptionalgorgeous and many types of food and a large list of dishes.generous crew, and good atmosphere. Also important, the cost is good. I suggest this restaurant with great pleasure.
Very good Japanese food. We all shared beef, pork, and cod steamed buns, spicy girl and spicy tuna rolls, and edamame. My main meal was the chicken ramen which was great as well.
The fried rice is a great option, even if youre vegetarian (order it with no meat). The ramen options are varied and taste great. The ability to enhance your ramen with extras is great. Just make sure to pay attention with what already comes with your ramen, so you dont order an extra that already comes with your order.
Why is ramen in NYC so damn pricey? I really dont understand it. I feel like I can buy my own fresh ramen and make my own bowl for a third of the price. But I guess thats just the cost of dining out nowadays.My coworkers and I headed to Zutto for a team lunch. To start, we ordered a couple of rolls. We had the Crazy Sake (seared salmon, cucumber spicy salmon on top) and the Spicy Crab (Blue Crab, Spicy Mayo, Avocado, Shiso, Masago). They werent anything amazing. Just very average, for lack of better words to describe it. The blue crab tasted more like imitation crab meat.For my main, I ordered the chorizo ramen because I thought it was an interesting idea and figured it would be a unique mix of flavors. Overall, I enjoyed the ramen and the broth. The broth looks extremely spicy, but it isnt. Make sure you drink it quick though because once it cools, all the fat gets layered on top and it wont look very appetizing at all. I liked the variety of toppings it came with: corn, mushrooms, raw onions, bamboo shoots. I love raw onions as a topping but it was a little too much so it was overpowering at times. The bamboo had a weird old taste to it. Could have also used a bit more chorizo in there.I was a little disappointed mainly because the menu looked really awesome, and I had been wanting to try this place out for quite some time now. I dont know if Ill be back since there are so many better sushi and ramen places around.Tip - Their ramen lunch specials arent really lunch special prices. Its basically regular menu price, but they throw in an iceberg wedge salad (or miso soup).
Had the Duck broth Ramen lunch special for $16. It came with the most uninspired chunk of iceberg lettuce with some not so tasty dressing on it. Honestly the Ramen was tasty and I would get it again, but I would order it not with the lunch special as it is $15 on its own. The lettuce wedge was not worth the extra dollar. One thing I did notice is that they need to seriously clean the corner booth seat I sat in. The cushions were all cracked and there was a distinct black grime all over the bench... Not very appetizing.
Excellent old school tribeca vibe and wonderful service and food - really classy but good prices
Made reservations for 4 and when we got here, the place was fairly empty, so we didnt have to wait regardless. However, by the time we finished out meal, the place had filled up a bit, but not full capacity.For appetizers, we ordered the zutto pork belly. I thought it was very good. It was over caramelized so it made it really sweet but the spiciness almost balanced it out. Usually you would assume that it wouldnt be that spicy but they definitely made this spicy. The cilantro really helped to cut the fat from the pork belly, the sweetness, and the spiciness. Overall, I would recommend this dish.For the main course, we ordered:Tonkotsu Ramen, Spicy Miso Ramen, Kimchi Ramen, Duck Ramen, and Foie Gras sushi roll. I was able to try the Tonkotsu, Spicy Miso, Duck Ramen and Foie Gras sushi roll.I thought the Tonkotsu was pretty good. The noodles were alright, not as al dente as I would have liked them to be. The soup base was decent. Not too fatty but still had lots of flavor, but not deep flavors. The base wasnt salty at all. In my opinion, the pork was very fatty and flavorful. As one of the other reviewers pointed out, I took out some of the ginger before starting to eat and it created a better balance within the dish. I do believe that they give you too much ginger but that can easily be rectified. The dish also had mushrooms and they were very sweet. Probably the sweetest mushrooms Ive ever encountered. I highly recommend not eating it those alone and balance it out with the other ingredients of the dish.As for the Spicy Miso ramen. I thought the dish was okay. The spiciness was very mild. The ground pork by itself wasnt well seasoned but when eaten with the rest, its actually alright.Coming to the duck ramen. I only tried the duck meat as I assumed everything else would be similar to the Tonkotsu ramen. The duck meat itself was good but I dont like duck being boiled. It takes away from the flavors and makes the meat more chewy.The foie gras sushi roll was okay. Didnt hit the mark with this roll. Not much flavor with the foie gras. The snow crab seemed to have too much water content in it so it made the roll a little soggy when biting into. The cucumber was much needed to add some crunch to the roll. Despite that, this is not a roll I could recommend.The service was excellent and staff were friendly. We didnt have to wait long for our food, only our beers. A little annoying but I guess its okay. At least our water came before our food came out.I wasnt thoroughly impressed with this place. I would prefer the ramen at Bassanova or Okidoki. Cheaper and better ramen depending on which one you get. For the buns, I would recommend this place over Okidoki and probably even over Bassanova only because I like the sweetness.Overall I would rate this place 3 to 3.5 stars. I could see myself recommending this place, but it wouldnt be at the top of my list.
Great ramen with a relaxed, casual, and comfortable neighborhood vibe! This is an under the radar lower Manhattan ramen gem where I can reliably bring groups of friends and family for tasty Japanese food without the fuss of lines and wait.
I like their restaurant concept of Japanese Pub. Definitely a great addition to Tribeca.In terms of food, While I think its great they come up with exotic twist to the ramen and the soup base is quite good, they really should use better ramen noodles. After all soup is only 50% of the dish.Restaurant decor is nice... and I appreciate the fact that theres plenty of space in the restaurant and its not overcrowded like the other famous ramen joints in the city.Next time Ill try their sushi and small plates - perhaps these will stand out more.
We went for a business lunch. Generous portion with a soup and a nice salad. Price was decent. Food was good but not extremely creative. (Tuna Burger). For under $20 per person definitely a good deal
I dont love the furniture but its my favorite source for ramen in Tribeca.
Recently went there and had the best ramen Ive ever had. So much flavor, I can’t wait to go back! Happy hour is pretty great as well :)
The ambience was very casual and music wasnt too loud. Service was excellent, they checked up on us but not too much. The food was ok, I guess thats to be expected from sushi/ramen house. I had the shoyo ramen and it wasnt best, but it definitely wasnt the worst.
Im not often in the area, but when Im in Tribeca I always make it a point to eat here. Their spicy miso ramen is solid - not quite on par with ippudo or totto, but only a hair behind, which for a non ramen place, is pretty damn impressive. I once came here immediately after eating a disappointing and meager meal at Nobu down the street for restaurant week. As a taste test, I got the rock shrimp. I have to say that the significantly cheaper shrimp here was way better than the restaurant week watered down version of rock shrimp at Nobu.
A late lunch early dinner for me as I passed by after doing business in the area.The rock shrimp were great, as before I could finish them my kimchi ramen was presented at the table.As a person that has never had Kimchi, I was taking a risk; as I knew it was spicy but what a pleasant surprise with a smokey flavor as well. The pieces of pork in the broth were tender and numerous. Unfortunately for me, my eyes were most certainly bigger than my stomach as I left much of the pork and broth with the fixings in the bowl. (Im a self proclaimed noodle fiend!)I will make it a point to return to this unexpected treasure!Enjoy Slurpers!
Love the ramen here! I always go for the Wonton Chicken ramen, and just tried the katsu burger for lunch. So good!! Staff is super friendly too, its become a hangout spot whenever Im in Tribeca.
Average Japanese fare with an American twist. Fried calamari is nothing special, ramen is mediocre, sushi rolls are their forte. Decent beer selection. Happy hour offers value.
I struggle between 3-4 starsI sat out on the terrace with my friend. The buffalo chicken-less chicken [made with cauliflower] was amazing. I could have eaten two servings on my own. The cocktails were great too. But I was supremely disappointed with my ramen. It was not amazingly flavorful in the broth. But the worst part was the add on duck I asked for was tougher than the sole of a shoe. I could not even bite into it. I would go back for the appetizers and for a drink. But no ramen.
The buns were absolutely delicious! My ramen was very good but just a little too salty for me. I would definitely come back for more buns!!
Not crowded at all, plenty of seats available for dinner. The ramen was very heavy. We had the rock shrimp (good spicy mayo based sauce), kimchi ramen (enormous), and spicy tonkatsu (very heavy).
This place has the vibe and noise levels of a bar, but offers the roominess resembling a BBQ joint. Food here is a mixed bag - while I enjoyed the starters and desserts, their entrées (ramen) left something to be desired (the flavor is there, but the ingredients were very lacking). I really enjoyed their silk tofu with eggplant sauce for starter, and their bread pudding and mochi tempura were absolutely phenomenal. Id definitely return for more of their starters and desserts, but Id pass on the entree next time.
Just had a quick, satisfying lunch here on a blustery Monday afternoon. The chirashi lunch special (sashimi style fish over sushi rice, plus miso soup) for $18 was a solid choice. The quality of the miso soup made me realize that I should have gone for one of the ramen or bun options, given the depth of flavor of this small starter. Rich broth with meaty slices of shiitake mushrooms, shreds of ginger, and cubes of fresh soft tofu made for one of the best miso soups Ive had. The chirashi was slightly less impressive given that two of the eleven pieces of fish were kani, which is a total disappointment, but the white tuna, salmon, and one piece of mackerel made up for it. We will be back for the ramen, bun, and small plates for sure.
My wife and I have been here a couple of times, and really enjoy their food! We recommend the Pork Belly (lettuce, miso-mayo) to start, and for ramen you cant go wrong with the Tonkotsu Hokkaido Classic or the Chicken Paitan. We havent tried all of the desserts, but we got the Coffee & Donuts twice and both times it didnt disappoint. We tried the cheesecake last time, and think you can probably skip that one.
Relaxed and friendly, this place has good sushi and yummy ramen, as well Japan-inspired American specials. I bring friends here all the time. Prices are very reasonable for the quality.
Came here for lunch. The spicy miso ramen was amazing and they also had a great playlist. I highly recommend this place. It was some of the most flavorful ramen I have ever had!
By the name you should already know it is American says it all and it is in Tribeca. If you don’t know ,the sebastian of upper white hipster neighborhood second to UES.The restaurant was full of this. The loudish, Japanese-ish style interior was filling up quickly with the dinner crowd. We started with the sweet/sour calamari, shishito peppers, kobe beef steam buns. The signage about touts the lengthy methods why which the ramen broth was made so of course we had to try the ramen. Two got the seafood ramen and I got the Tonkotsu ramen.The calamari had a nice crispy without over cooking the squid. The shishito peppers was covered lemon salt and came with an aioli dipping sauce. The steam bun looked liked a hamburger but with a steam bun. The ramen came with thick noodles and broth was overly sweet more suited for Western Tribeca taste palette. My taste buds didn’t like the lobster ramen broth.I think the best part of the meal was the dessert which was the least Asian dish. The banana bread pudding with vanilla ice cream and the crispy fried mochi with green tea ice cream on the side all were great but took awhile to come out.
Nice variety of dishes, maybe a little pricey, but everything was very tasty. Very friendly staff provides quality service.
Food and service was good, get the short rib buns, wings and shishito peppers! Ramen not so good, the broth was ok Noddles too but the pork belly was terrible all fat no flavor.
I have gone here for lunch several times now and I have have a delicious experiences every time. Have enjoyed the ramen so much that I have not explore the menu beyond that. I would be happy jumping in for lunch our dinner. A good one to have in your back pocket.
Great food, happy hour a definite bonus. Ramen was pretty tasty 😋 I visited on a Saturday late afternoon and it was quiet but I prefer it that way! Attentive staff!
Warm, non-stuffy, spot with great sushi and American faire. I had the Hudson roll and the Manhattan role, and both were exquisite. Staff were kind and attentive.
Great service kind and warm, under my perspective a little bit salty but no complaints.
Takeout. Decent ramen.Minus 1 star for only being warm, not hot, when picked up at the exact time specified. Minus another for not providing any chopsticks or cutlery.
Never going back! I have frequented the Blue Note for over 40 years. Had reservations for 4 days to see Stanley Clarke, with my wife and daughter. We got there one hour before show time, a party of 2 was behind us, and they were seated before us in front center seats, and then were shown our only choice of seats, in a corner facing a wall. Walked out very upset, and regardless of their ability to book great entertainment, will not go back, nor recommend it to others! Certainly if you make reservations, they can somehow insure you will be seated in a place that would reflect when the reservation was made!
Hard to differentiate it from the slew of American-Japanese restaurants. The decor is a good illustration of the general philosophy: not really Japanese except some inconspicuous details, not really industrial despite the bricks and the bulb, not fully committed to one style. The result lacks substance and flavors.
Great Place to have food, staff is amazing and the service as well.Kind of wish it was more Japanese more traditional but it is an American Japanese restaurant.Great place. A lot of fun and price is reasonable.
Uninspired sushi. The taste is based on loud flavors rather than high quality fish.
My go-to whenever im in manhattan, very authentic and satisfying!
Im coming back here for the Spicy Miso Ramen! So good 😋Cocktails are just average though.
Love the ramen here and sushi is delicious, exceptional staff, very nice ambiance for an intimate dinner but still welcoming for family dinners. Mid-price range but well worth it imo.
There will be no seafood ramen if there are no Manila clams. The chef at Zutto is a perfectionist. Not enough clams? No seafood ramen for you!We offered to forgo clams in our soup but no dice. The chef refused to make it unless he had all his ingredients. Darn I was really looking forward to head on shrimp too.I opted for miso ramen. While others found it just right, I actually found it bland. For the price of ramen at Zutto, youre better off going to Ippudo or one of the other more popular ramen joints. For Zutto, their strength lies in their small plates and bar food. Short rib Hirata buns and Shishito Peppers would pair excellent with after work drinks.
Great food, sushi selections are delicious and abundant. I usually eat here for lunch or even dinner with friends. For Tribeca, the prices are surprisingly affordable and the quality is amazing.
On a street packed with big sushi names (Sushi of Gari, Nobu), Zutto offers both a more approachable and significantly cooler atmosphere with delicious (and more reasonably priced) Japanese pub fare. Zutto does fusion style spot-on: the soba noodles with kimchee and pork belly are excellent, and the sushi is fresh and flavorful. They also have a great selection of sake and beer.
This place has extraordinary service and delicious menu. One of my favourite places in the city. The food came out quickly and the rates were reasonable. Will definitely recommend this spot.
A neighborhood gem for ramen. Spicy miso with chicken and a Sapporo on the side is the stuff ramen dreams are made of!
Your delivery guys do not respect bike laws. They ride on side walks and wrong direction putting others at risk. Ill never order from here again and encourage others not to. When you dont care about the community safety than you dont deserve the community business. Please discuss bike laws with your employees. If at any time you need to get on side walk you should dismount right away not ride on side actually get off and walk. Being a restaurant you should know and encourage your staff to follow them
The restaurant was clean and service was adequate. The ramen was sufficient but not very memorable. The food was fresh overall. Perhaps a bit pricey for what it is, but thats also the area, good ambience for a casual dinner.
Great experience, but had to wait 30+ minutes to sit at the sushi bar. The rest of the restaurant was reserved for 20 people. I recommend making reservations in advance.
This spot was overpriced and service was the WORST! Fish was semi fresh. Only reason I gave it another star was because of the decor. Well my ramen noodles also lacked everything.
I had an amazing experience in this place. We enjoyed the nice ambience and the meals. The waiters were super friendly. I’m glad we eventually managed to visit this place.
Food is ok and no alcoholic drinks. If you dont like over-seasoned meats, this place is not for you. However, quick and friendly service and plenty of seating.
Huge bowls of ramen for $15. Exceptional service. All different types of soup, even vegetarian. Fun cocktails too
Delicous sushi and ramen in the heart of TriBeCa. Nice atmosphere with a big open dining room. Great place to eat with family and friends.
Great tuna appetizer and wonderful presentation! Also they have bogo on a drink if you tag them in Instagram during their happy hour
Had a good poke bowl here
Loved the food and service. Beautiful presentation
We enjoyed the Ramen very much, Appetizers were very good, the Waitress was extremely nice, price was reasonable. We will be back.
Food was delicious and the staff superb. Great meal. Loved the shitake mushroom buns!
Ordered the chicken ramen.. it smelled weird they just kinda threw fresh spinach and some cabbage... no mushrooms... the noodles were spicy even though I didnt order spicy... no mushrooms even though the menu said it would have mushrooms... would have never gotten it if I know it would be with just a bunch of raw vegetables on top... TOTAL waste of money and still hungry.. I couldnt eat it... definitely had better ramen before
As a cook. Perfectly cooked seared fish appetizers and delicious broth for the ramen. 10/10 would go again
This hidden gem is a great place to enjoy quality food and relax with a few friends. We’d recommend the Midori Salad and the Kamikazi Roll. Avoid getting delivery.
Terrible, did not offer tea, wanted to charge for green tea, tea is free everywhere else. Limited menu, must be under new management. The group of 5 who attended WILL NOT RETURN!!!
Awesome wait staff. Delicious menu. Decent prices drinks. Cool atmosphere to bring a date for a quiet romantic dinner.
One of my favorite ramen spots in lower Manhattan !
Very good value during happy hours time for Tribeca NYC. Good rolls, fast service. A little bit loud, but hey, it is NYC.
Excellent service and top of the line food. The chef is a true master at his craft! You definitely have to see for yourself.
Wonderful service, nice waitress, great ramen. Love this place.
Get the spicy miso ramen or the new kimchi ramen! Theyre to die for! Everything else is average; but a good selection of Osake!
Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen is great. Big, deep flavor. I also enjoy their Spicy Miso Ramen.
I love zutto burger with fries. Delicious!!
Good food though they forgot an appetizer...
Ramen wasnt the best but the pork bun was good. Its a good place for a quick bite but wouldnt expect too mucn
Was really liking the ramen until we found hair in it.
Great option in Tribeca for lunch. Tuesday special Chorizo ramen well worth taking time off during work.
Amazing food! Cod buns were unlike anything Ive had!!
Ramen dishes are the main event. Good preparation. The restaurant is well organized.
Food was good. Service isnt. They charge for refills but dont inform you. I dont eat at restaurants with dishonest tactics and servers.
Delicious ramen and sashimi! Good portions to o. Relaxed atmosphere for lunch
Had a excellent experience in this spot with my friend. The food came quickly and the service is just great. Prices are fair.
Excellent food excellent service.
Certainly a place worth stopping by, the food is awesome and fresh, the prices are reasonable and it is regularly well organized in here. Great work.
Pretty solid 2 sushi roll lunch special with miso soup or salad. Eel Avoc roll was tasty
Service and food was good. Had the spicy chicken ramen. The chicken was tender and just right!
This amazing thick broth is hard to find in other Ramen places in NYC. Just beautiful and tasty food
1st time eating ramen here and it was so good very flavorful.
Surely a spot worth visiting, the food is great and fresh, the cost is affordable and it is consistently well kept there. Great work.
Lack of attention to details was excusable only because it was lunch hour, still prices not as down as quality was. I guess its my and lunch hour business is thought to manage.
Not a Japanese person working there, but the food is authentic and the place is buzzing and fun. Use OpenTable and avoid a line. Loved it!
Solid, fresh, cost effective sushi meal. Great lunch option.
We just had drink but they were lovely. And they gave us plenty of time to just chat abs hang out at the bar.
Not my fav ramen spot and a bit pricey. Still decent though
This place constantly delivers. They have awesome food for convenient prices, there no long wait even when the place is busy.
Great place, like the vibe there!
The Ramen is really good
Super low key place with great food for reasonable prices. We left wondering why the place was not way more crowded.
Left the restaurant next door because of horrible service. Glad we did. Food and services here were great.
Pretty poor fusion ramen. That is not really a thing even though they try. Also super loud and slow service.
Food was great. Reasonably priced! Definitely check this place out if you are in the area.
Wonderful ramen, dont miss the short rib or pork belly buns.
My fav ramen shop in NYC ! Ask for Joel and say Maneesh sent you for a free beer !
The way to go here is to order a combination of small plates (actually they are pretty decent in size), both price- and quality-wise.
Its nice & warm outdoor dining.
Came for dinner on Sunday night with friends. No complain. Very liked white.
I put clear instructions to text me when downstairs because Im on the call. After waiting for 25seconds the guy turned around and went home
Service and owner were super friendly. Food was served quickly and food was amazing. Recommend!
Nice ambiance. Good food. A little more high class for japanese food. Nothing to complain about.
Good for lunch, a bit pricey
Easily the best bang for your buck in TriBeCa. Great atmosphere, and really good sushi.
Good food and atmosphere. Had a dinner night here and were both loved the food
Customer service was excellent and food was great. My mom is in a wheelchair and they accommodated us.
So sad to see this place close down. Some of the best ramen I ever had.
Tasty ramen, the Tonkotsu is really great. Good deals on some weekdays.
One of the best sushi deals around. very warm and inviting decor.
The food is good but the pricing is not in line with what you get. Perhaps its the address
The tonkatsu broth will make you want to sell your first born!!! Lol

2022-02-27Casual Japanese restaurant with great choices for appetizers and entrees. Daily Happy Hour specials, 12pm-7pm. I come here with friends when I want to have a nice meal and a comfortable vibe for good conversation. Our server (Bianca) was attentive and cordial. Recommend the ramen dishes and edamame appetizer!

2022-07-26Nice casual lunch option. The ambience is quite cozy, the servers were attentive, not bothering. The food was good, the salad that comes with the lunch menu could see some more effort.
Review №5
2022-01-18The spicy tonkatsu ramen was mediocre at best. With $20, you got starchy noodle and dry pork chashu. I will be more satisfied spending $2 on instant ramen. The sushi was ok and at least fairly priced.

2021-08-29Nice place, but not sure if we’d call it a favorite, at this time. The bun appetizers were the best part in the restaurant, particularly the mushroom and pork buns. We never had anything else like it before, it was pretty great!! For dinner, we got an assortment of sushi rolls, which were good, but smelled a little fishy and tasted like the fish was cut a little too thick to the point that it made it a little chewy. I got a stomach ache mid-way through which definitely wasn’t the restaurant’s fault but I asked for a small salad which they didn’t have available on their menu (only large salads for 4+ people). This was surprising because usually sushi places always offer an option of a small individual salad. I explained to the waitress that I didn’t feel good and she was super sweet and helpful and asked the chef to make me something. The waitress was sweet and deserved 5 stars. The salad though, was $6 for a small slice of ice berg on a plate… 😅. The. I asked for a green tea to go, but they didn’t have to-go cups. I know maybe it was just me being a complicated customer on this day so I give it 4 stars because they were great otherwise, but it’s these little things like offering an individual salad option and to-go cups which would increase customer satisfaction so much! My friends were content otherwise :)!

2021-10-26The staff here was very polite and the service was great. The food was delicious. Our party consisted of 4 adults. For drinks we had two beers, two sakes, a smokey the bear, yuzu margarita. Our entrees were the spicy chicken ramen (2) a side of corn, wonton ramen and an order of wings and fries. The spicy ramen wasnt too spicy but it was still good and no complaints on the wonton or wings. We were visiting the area but definitely will be going back the next time we visit.

2022-02-22Don’t get the tonkotsu ramen, dry noodles, hard pork/chashu, broth was 1/8th or less of the bowl. After advertising that they “do ramen right” I expected better. Asked the waitress if we could have more broth (our party ordered two) and she said “it’s 8$ for more broth - that’s just how it is.” Miso ramen was great though :)

2021-08-04Tried the restaurant week lunch, which was fried chicken wings, shiyo pork chasu ramen, and ice cream. Also tried their shrimp tempura roll.Their roll wasnt really anything to write home about and while I dont like the style of the chicken wings, I can see them being tasty for people who like the fish sauce and lime combo. The ramen was very good though, everything took on the flavor of the soup very well, would definitely get it again!
