"A reservation guarantees you a private booth in Nagomiya, but you can also likely grab one if you just walk into this Midtown izakaya during lunch hours. Draw the yellow curtain to close your private dining booth, so you can tune out the outside world and even eat your giant lobster tempura rolls with a fork if you desire. Then take out a book. Hell, start a new television series since their giant menu of solid Japanese small plates, ramen, and sushi options give you every reason to make this a long, multicourse meal. A button discreetly summons the wait staff if and when you decide you’re ready for another Sapporo beer. " - juli horsford, nina reeder
