"On Bleecker Street in Noho, Bessou serves homey Japanese cooking in a comfortably low-lit space. The food is reliably soothing, and this week I discovered the restaurant is also great for groups when it was able to accommodate a large reservation just the day before dining. Aside from that clutch flexibility, Bessou has a menu that works for sharing, split into bites, small plates, and large dishes. Among them, there’s something to suit just about everyone, from chicken karaage to vegetable tempura udon to pork chashu." - Eater Staff
