- AAntonyVIPNew York City •2 reviews4.0Dined on Dec 17, 2024It was good quality sushi, but it was too salty and spicy even when we requested less spice. Also, the restaurant is in a former diner, which makes the ambience attractive because it’s been remodeled, but it’s stuck in that configuration.More infoTokugawa - MadisonPrice: Expensive• Sushi• Upper East Side•4.6
