NR

4.5 but rounding up to a 5!All in all, this was a cute and cozy spot for date night with friendly and attentive service, but drinks/food are hit or miss. We made a reservation for 5:45pm and were seated promptly/reminded that the res was only for 1.5 hours before they had to release the table to the next party. Between the two of us, we ordered:- Umami Old Fashioned (2/5) this was very mid in my opinion. If I could go back in time I would have ordered the Hot Toddy cocktail- Deviled Egg + Egg + Egg (4/5) not bad but I thought the egg was served overly cold (didn't need the ice bowl)- Truffle Egg Sandwich (5/5) loved this and so glad I got it! Had the right amount of truffle flavor in my opinion- Kyoto Ramen (5/5) one of the best ramens I have had in NYC. Loved the noodles and the way they were cooked. The broth was not salty nor fishy in my opinion. It went down very smoothly. - Monkfish, Oyster Curry (4/5) oysters were meh but monkfish was good. Also liked that you can customize your spice level from 1-200 (we got 25 which was like Thai spice level).

Perfect date night spot! NR serves a more mature crowd so feels more weighted and intimate. Loved that the it doesn't get too loud so you can hear each other talk The food is solid but leans heavy, both in seasoning and intensity. My fav was the soupless ramen Noodles have this satisfying chew and the flavor is very umami. Cocktails are strong too! spicy tuna $18 karaage fried chicken $11 truffle egg sandwich $11 wagyu + bone marrow ramen $42* yuzu + sansho $18 scotch lovers penicillin $17 한마디로 표현하자면 묵직한 곳? 분위기도 그렇고 이곳을 찾는 손님들도 그렇고 음식과 음료도 다 무게감이 느껴진다. 나잇대가 있는 테이블이 많아서 너무 시끄럽지 않다는게 제일 큰 장점이다 ‍ 전체적으로 칵테일과 음식 둘다 쎈편. 에피타이져 다 안주로소 낫배드고 제일 맛난건 국물 없는 라멘!! 쫄깃한 국수랑 감칠맛 터지는 소스가 기억에 남는다.

Food- 4.5/5 i think this place is top 3 ramen in Manhattan. Their egg sandwich was really great with truffle oil- i think the oil really adds extra flavor for egg sandwich that could be blah. Yuzu truffle ramen is very impressive. Broth was deep for veggie ramen, and im kinda curious how they were able to make silken tofu not breaking apart. Service 4/5- average, not like particularly good but everyone was very attentive :)Ambiance 4.5/5- doesnt feel like traditional Japanese place. It feels like you walked into french(?) cafe or cozy wine bar so pretty interesting!Probably one of the best restaurants in Yorkville? I rarely find good ones above 70 but this will be my go-to ramen place if i crave one near my house

Food: we got the egg truffle sandwich, karaage chicken, and I got the kyoto ramen for my main. Drinks: I got the umami old fashioned & chanel no. 5. My friend got the tomato cocktail and blue cheese cocktail. All of the drinks were so unique and good! Overall the vibes, food and drinks, and service were all good!

NR was fantastic!The cocktails were incredible, and we had seats at the bar, so we got to see them being made, really cool stuff.Food was great as well, we had the seafood tower (pictured) and really enjoyed the variety, from a ceviche, to a more "Cajun" style soft shell shrimp, to uni and more. Come before 7pm to get the HH deal too!We each tried a ramen bowl - the Sapporo was creamy and delicious, while the Kyoto had more spice. Both were excellent, and around $20 per bowl.Service was phenomenal, with attentive bartenders and servers checking in periodically, even for bar seating.Not the cheapest meal, but you definitely get more than what you pay for here. Strongly recommend!

Okay just re-chiming in: cocktails are fabulous, we're making this our regular spot now. So glad to have this in the neighborhood!!

Great modern Japanese restaurant in the upper east side! We ordered several dishes to share.- Oysters: 10/10 (great oysters that I would recommend getting especially during happy hour)- Sea urchin udon: 10/10 (this was my favorite dish that we got. Loved the creaminess of the uni and saltiness of the ikura and seaweed.)- Chicken curry: 8/10 (so so-- the curry texture wasn't as thick as I'm used to. It felt more like curry soup.)- Cocktails: 10/10 (fantastic cocktails with great presentation!)Service was great and ambiance was very chic. I'll definitely be back when I'm craving some creamy uni ramen and good cocktails!

What a beautiful dimly-lit bar in the UES. The cocktails were fantastic. My first drink was their warm apple cider cocktail and it came in a beautiful glass tea cup. If you're looking for a nice appetizer, the edamame was delicious and wonderfully seasoned. The staff is attentive and we had a lovely time.We came on a weeknight around 8/9pm and there was a bit of a wait (30-45 minutes).

I came by NR for brunch on the weekend at exactly 12 pm and I was so excited to checked this place out based on a friend's recommendation. The entire place was super vibey and it wasn't too crowded. The waitress was so pleasant -- she was super attentive throughout out time there and so so cute. NR has a large collection of creative drinks and it was so fun to look through the menu -- quite of few of the names gave us a chuckle. I ordered the matcha highball - it was delicious and very nicely complimented my meal. My friends tried the espresso martini, the Smoke, and the Mango Lassi? and seemed to enjoy all of them as well! We ordered a few different appetizers to share (miso eggplant, deviled eggs, truffle egg sandwiches, chicken karaage with matcha salt). I wasn't disappointed by a single one but if I had to pick a favorite, I would choose the deviled eggs. As for the ramen, I ordered the Sapporo and it was a just a tad bit saltier than I would have liked but I did think it was still pretty delicious. We also got us shots on the house right before we left and the head chef, bartender, and waitress all took a shot with us and thanked us. 10/10 service!I'm excited to have found this spot and I'll definitely be back!

Recently dined here on a weeknight with an early reservation and it was lovely! The service was extra great and what a treat for the tastebuds with the food and drinks! Our party of four shared the tuna, egg egg egg, seasonal pickles and truffle egg salad sandwich. The seasonal pickles plate was a little miniature but great flavors. The jellied vinegar on the egg egg egg dish was divine! My main was the truffle vegetable ramen which had a little more oil than I'd prefer normally. Hubby got the wagyu and bone marrow ramen and I think it was lasted about 3 minutes on the table before it was all eaten! Can't wait to come back again.
