Megu
A shrine to both style and substance, this is the place to have all your senses wowed. The space itself is wondrous – various levels of high ceilings, low lighting, Japanese art installations and sleek banquettes – and the food is equally exciting. Lobster salad with yuzu and passion fruit sauce, elegant edamame soup, slippery-fresh sushi and Kobe beef (grilled, carpaccio and tartare ) are stunners. Or go for the gusto with a drawn-out tasting menu, starting with a spoonful of raw ‘egg’: pineapple juice, coconut milk and a yolk-ish filling.

Aburiya Kinnosuke
Fairly authentic Japanese cuisine (a few nods to American can be found here and there) dished up amid paper lanterns and sleek cherrywood tables tucked behind private screens, or at the open Robata grill at the bar. Sashimi, sake and mains like salmon harasu (fatty salmon), dried horse mackerel, organic pork simmered with brown-sugar soju,and Japanese-style beef and veggie pot-au-feu dot the menu.

Soba Nippon
The chewy buckwheat soba noodle is the star of the menu here, in this quiet and intimate nook smack dab in the middle of high-bustle Midtown. Try this melt-in-your-mouth highlight in a chilled-salad or soothing broth, flavored with sesame, soy and other subtle stabs, including tofu, duck and chicken. You’ll also find solid sushi and delicious little octopus-stuffed balls, called takoyaki.

Bond St
This is the new kid in town. Actually, Bond St has been around awhile, but it's been kept a secret by sushi lovers. À la carte rolls include spicy yellowtail with red-pepper miso, spicy tuna with chili mayonnaise, sesame-crusted shrimp with orange curry dressing and hot eel with diced almond. There are also mains, nigiri and sashimi plates, and a full-on tasting omakase (chef's choice) menu.
