It takes a certain number of sushi chefs to make a meal but perhaps at Aiko one of our "local" Japanese restaurants this wasn't necessarily the case. They seemed to be having a great time. Having arrived from a meeting and in a rush to get out to theatre we called in for a quick feed and it was a quick feed. We were in and out of there in around 30minutes.
On Monday night we went to on of our other Japanese restaurants and although not as fast it has just as wonderful a selection of food. Their fish dish with a variety of fish and shitake mushrooms is positively scrumptious.
In coming to live in NYC food was not one of the things I imagined I'd be able to rave about but we have had some interesting and delicious meals all grand enough to "write home about". The Japanese restaurants are interesting and nothing like the meals I've eaten at home or in Japan. My greatest disappointment is that very few restaurants have picked up on serving nasu dengaku (egg plant and miso) but Natsumi has a variety of it with cheese which seemed an odd mix but actually works well.
The sensational mix of Asian cuisine at Ruby Foos remains a favourite.
