"Perhaps best known for the action-packed sushi rolls (that are often topped with their go-go sauce, a spicy mayo), Komé is a low-key and homestyle Japanese restaurant at Airport and 53rd St. The menu is super-broad, spanning from gyoza to ramen to bento boxes to yakitori. Also on the menu are a tight selection of nigiri and sashimi—none of it will blow your mind, but it’s all carefully-prepared, consistent, and dependable. The restaurant doesn’t take reservations, so be prepared to wait during peak hours, but we really like to eat at the long sushi bar when it's available." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
