Great miso wings, def try the Japanese croquettes too. Also try the shochu flights. Good way to taste shochu on Sundays if you’re undecided on what to get.

Exquisite cocktails. Delectable bites. Professional and friendly staff. Unique and sexy decor. In short, this place has it all. Lives up to the hype and the bar set by it's elder Manhattan sister, Bar Goto.

The bartender was attentive, kind, chill, knowledgeable. Drinks were great. I came after my session of hot yoga next door. Instead of being responsible and going to the grocery store, I decided I needed a cocktail. The music was great, the other patrons were also very low key and chill. I had their HH martini in gin and then in vodka. Great deal and served with a pickled shallot (nostalgic for me and a fave).

First time visiting after hearing great reviews on this bar… but definitely felt that the bartenders and hostess played favorites and preferred regulars. The entire experience felt very rushed. The bar was full, and the hostess offered us to “wait” at the standing area, and insisted we can order our drinks while we wait for seats at the bar. After a few minutes, we ordered our drinks and it was immediately served to us in literally 3 minutes. I thought the drinks would be served after we got a seat. I almost couldn’t believe how fast the drinks were crafted. Eventually we got seats at the bar and had to carry our stuff over there, it was a hassle. I would’ve just preferred to stand at that point. Overall very American feel, that even the whole Japanese decor and ambiance felt out of place. Cocktails were just okay (very light, not strong) and nothing special. A bit overpriced for what the ingredients were in the $18 drinks. Two drinks came to be about $45 after tax and tips. There are other bars with better drinks, I won’t be returning.

Environment is great with beautiful and authentic Japanese themed decorations. The bartender was Japanese and very friendly. We chatted a lot about Japanese-Brazilians and how it would be great if they opened a bar in São Paulo. The cocktails were great. I recommend the Far East Side.

This is a cute, cozy bar! The seating is limited, so it does get packed. Drinks are refreshing and good! It's a good date spot, but since the seating is limited, I would advise you to plan accordingly.

Japanese cocktail bar. I had a Sapporo which was a short can and my wife had one of their specialty cocktails. We also shared their classic Japanese croquettes. Excellent selection of Japanese whiskeys. Very nice and spacious gender neutral restroom. Service was quick and attentive.

The drinks are good but totally over priced. The bartender and hostess were both rude. Apparently you can't save seats at the bar. We moved 2 chairs over for our friends who were 5 minutes late and the hostess came over and put the chairs back without saying a word to us. The bartender took forever to approach us to ask for our order. Very pretentious. Go to a different bar if you want better service and nicer vibes
