Intimate omakase & handrolls from ex-Yasuda chef. Unique sake list & great sea bass tempura. Perfect for date night or casual bites.
Willa Moore reviews Mitsuru, a Greenwich Village Japanese restaurant with an omakase counter, praising its sea bass tempura and handrolls while noting its dual appeal as both a special occasion spot and a casual neighborhood haunt.
This Greenwich Village Japanese spot offers a refined omakase experience from a former Sushi Yasuda chef, alongside a more casual a la carte menu. It's lauded for its expertly crafted handrolls and stand-out dishes like sea bass tempura, all complemented by a curated sake list. While it can be a special occasion destination, it also serves as a comfortable neighborhood haunt.
The food at this Japanese restaurant is highly regarded, particularly the omakase and handrolls. Standout dishes include the sea bass tempura and Unagi Don. While some a la carte items like grilled edamame and marinated kale are noted as slightly fussy, the overall consensus is positive, with the restaurant being a reliable choice for a sit-down meal.
"Highly recommended dishes include the sea bass tempura with ginger tartar sauce and various handrolls. The Unagi Don is also a great choice for a solo meal."
