Nippon Restaurant

NY restaurant week tasting menu was wonderful. Must come back for deadly fugu fish sashimi during dinner next time!

The fugu sushi and the sukiyaki are great!

I love this restaurant. It consistently serves good food and the staff are very nice. This quality of the fish seems very good too. Atmosphere also reminds me of Japan. It is on the expensive side since they serve sushi.

Excellent service, yummy soba...will come back again!!

Great restaurant, very traditional - real Japanese food, we took the set menu for 56$ and it was wonderful choice with many kinds of food - we will definitely come back in the future

Superb sushi and great service

This place is no frills, even slightly run down... But charming in an old-new-york kind of way! I love coming here for a few tasty appetizers, ice cold Japanese beer and sukiyaki for a super cosy dinner in the wintertime 🙂

Lovely restaurant and excellent staff.

Just because is has a Japanese name doesn't mean you're getting Japanese qualityIf you want "real" Japanese food, ask me:)

Amazing Soba Salad (best with Salmon or Chicken) also great sushi for midtown and reasonable prices. In addition they have a very traditional fried tempura with not to much batter on it, which makes it better then at many other places. I order out or eat once a week at Nippon

excellent fish. The environment is quiet and clean. worth the money.

By all accounts, including many Japanese friends from all over, the best Japanese restaurant in the city. I cannot recommend any one dish without implying that it's better than the others. It's all top notch and I've between going there literally for fifty years. U said I wouldn't but the octopus is like butter. Sushi superb. Eat at the sushi counter or a table. Both are unparalleled but tempura, piece by piece, right out of the oil the is unsurpassed.

Great tempura made to order at the counter. Don't miss the grilled duck breast appetizer and the jumbo shrimp tempura!

Must try their soba salads and sukiyaki. Honestly their rice and tofu are very good.

Beef salad is amazing!

Service really really nice!

Excellent. High quality food and service.

Great classical sushi in New York. First japanese restaurant in NYC.

Service was spectacular. Food delicious, chef modified everything to accommodate my food sensitivities!

Straight out of the 60's! This is America and you pay a premium for Japanese food anywhere, no matter the quality. Here at least the quality is there. The service is exceptional and the food is very good. The sukiyaki, miso soup and the mocha dessert were very good, not far from what you might expect in Japan.

A bit pricey for the amount and quality of the food.

I'd only tried some average sushis in India but that was only until three days back when I had the utmost pleasure to visit Soba Nippon and have some incredible sushi. The sushi is served with a beautiful sharp knife and the presentation is pretty decent with tomato and a slice of lemon. The sushi has my heart from it's very first bite.

Food was delicious. Service is awesome, 5 star

Pretty casual place. Not bad but many better options around the area.

The Fugu sushi is delicious and the service is top-notch. I would recommend this restaurant to all sushi lovers

Nice people and excellent food

Living just a few blocks away from Nippon, it has certainly become our go-to for special occasions. The service is always quick and good, and the food is AMAZING.

Went here during Restaurant Week. Didn't try the sushi, but the other food was very good. The staff was nice and the service was great. Overall not much to criticize except maybe the price.

Enjoyed the Kobe Beef Harami Don. Also had the Wasabi Pork Shumai which had a nice kick and cleared out the sinuses. Ha ha, that's wasabi for ya. Busy place right around 7 PM on a Sunday, but not impossible to get a seat with a short wait. Enjoy!

Lovely mid-century Japanese aesthetic, kind service, and delicious soba. Peaceful spot for a meal.

The food is great and the service is fantastic!

Quality Japanese food! The sashimi and beef sukiyaki here were amazing!

Amazing food and service

Pricier side of cuisine choices, we went for a prefixed meal and it was very nice. Courteous waiter, dishes came out in a well paced. Aesthetically pleasing. Made me miss japan. Also, we will most likely go back to try the fugu (blowfish).

Needs a complete overhaul. Punto finale.

I’ve been wanting to eat fugu for a decade. Nippon did not disappoint. If you want to try it. This is the place.

Went here during restaurant week. Nice staff, good sushi.

"""needs a makeover, but really good. friendly and efficient service. nice people. the first place i ever had sushi."""

Would absolutely recommend trying this place. Fantastic character, flavorful food, fantastic customer service. I recommend this place.

Best kamo nabe in NYC!!!

Great service. Their grilled food is the best!

I love this place it has been around for years. They always offer the best service and amazing food for a truly rememberable experience. One of the last old school midtown business spots always a great time and who knows occasionally there are famous ppl to. The owner is amazing and truly cares about his customers, going as a far as to not let me pour my own sake.. a true NYC gem great for all occasions.

4 star is right on the marks. The tempura was world class goodness in your mouth. The miso eggplant, the sukiyaki, the mushroom broth, the ice cream, the soft-shell crab in vinegar were good. The homemade renowned soba was actually on the tougher chewier side. The ham and cheese, are you kidding me？ All in all a good meal. However service can be challenging as it is close to UN and you see lots of officers around and you become an afterthought.

Local japanese... clean and healthy food...
