"This East Village Japanese cafe is one of the few places in NYC where you can get siphon coffee. The space has lots of kitschy elements, like decorative mismatched china and stained glass lampshades. They take coffee and tea very seriously here, and the bean selection is exciting and eclectic and includes options from small Japanese roasters. You can get a great proper lunch here, and there’s really no wrong choice. They make our favorite omurice and mentai cream pasta in the city, and the katsui, egg, and fruit sandos are destination-worthy. " - carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim, hillary reinsberg
