There are probably thousands of Japanese restaurants in and around NYC. Some of these are good, some bad, some expensive, some cheap, some true homestyle, some fusion, some pure American. Part of the fun of living in the NY metro area is having the opportunity to try out all of these restaurants for yourself. Go out into the city and explore all of the restaurants- not just the Japanese. But if all of the choices seem overwhelming to you, here’s a brief overview of some restaurants, their price range and what style of Japanese food they offer. Happy Eating! (For even more listings check out MenuPages.com.) Another great resource is Chopsticks New York, which calls itself “the most convenient, comprehensive resource for all things Japanese in NY.” While they focus on Japanese culture and cuisine, they have listings representing other Asian countries as well.
