TikToker Discovers Hotel Window Opens Into an Operating Restaurant | Eater

"A functioning restaurant seated immediately outside a hotel room window and configured with one-way glass so diners couldn’t see into the room. After the TikTok creator revealed the arrangement, one of the diners contacted her and she visited the dining room, where staff opened the window and even handed her shots of tequila that she returned by passing them back through the opening. Photos indicate the dining area occupies an outdoor patio and the guest-facing window sits in a corner of the room; the incident sparked commentary about the voyeuristic appeal of eavesdropping on dates and sampling items like midtown tuna rolls while watching dinner conversations." - Jaya Saxena

Tempura NYC is an absolute gem! The food is incredibly fresh, crispy, and bursting with flavor. Every bite was perfection, especially the tempura, which was light and perfectly fried. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive. You can really tell they care about quality and service. Whether you’re a tempura lover or just looking for an unforgettable meal, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Their restaurant encourages you to linger and relax. The dishes were nice but not the finest of their kind we've had. You'll appreciate the fresh approach and restrained salt use. Workers here balance fast service with personal attention. I believe in this place and recommend it regularly!

YUM all around. The food is very well done, pretty-looking, and delicious. Great Kosher place for fish and pasta dishes. The waiter Gustavo👨‍🍳made my friends and I feel at home and taken care of. My favorite was the Poke bowl, with the breaded cauliflower as a topping. Super crispy and yum. The menu is definitely priced for a fancy dinner out🍴, or a celebratory event🎉. Or if you just want to treat yourself!✨ P.S. Also has a great scenic rooftop (in addition to where you eat) - a great place to be proposed or propose at!💍 Enjoy!

Service and atmosphere were phenomenal. The food, for the price point and added 20% gratuity, lacked quality and taste. The flat bread didn’t taste like much, the appetizer was like a dunkin donuts hash browns with a topping on it, and the pasta tasted like it came from a box. Maybe it was a fluke, who knows.

We had an event here on the rooftop was so beautiful. My friends made a after wedding party. The bathroom was a 3 floor down walk so if you squeeze your cheeks together you should be on to make it there on time. There is only 2 stalls and 2 urinals. They can definitely use a cleaning. The food was amazing and they make you stop the music at a hard 10pm. Parking wasn't to bad in the area if you are coming after 7pm plenty of street parking.

This is a kosher styled sushi place so please be aware you won't be able to get shrimp or pork in fact no shellfish at all. We sat outside which was lovely. The service is a bit inconsistent and they were moderately busy. It's a nice vibe with a young crowd. The prices seemed a bit on the high side but that was probably due to the high rent location. I ordered the Poké bowl. I was warned by the server that they do not have brown rice, mushrooms, cauliflower for the Poké bowl. Wow I was surprised no brown rice at a sushi restaurant that's weird. Guess it was supply side problems. Did I forget to mention they don't have the cheesecake either that sounded so good. We got sushi rolls and some appetizers the food was very good and delicious. I guess I definitely recommend this place but it seems they need to get their act together a bit. Don't feel out of place if you're not kosher because trust me I'm not. Come and check it out. Especially if you're single looks like a place you can meet someone real nice. Hmmmm they added a 20% gratuity to the bill I wonder why I guess they're protecting the servers from not making enough money. Wish that was the case on my job.

We were a group of six on a Saturday night. The place was empty when we arrived but filled up. The food was average. First round of drinks was good. Second round was not so good. Waited a long time for one drink and for service. Waiter had a good personality and took things in stride. One specialty roll had very little tuna on top - we had to send it back. It was cold in the restaurant; a lot of people kept their coats on inside. We ordered three desserts - one was good. This rooftop is a second floor rooftop with no impressive views. Bathrooms are in basement - lots of stairs to go down. I would not recommend this place for dinner; maybe for drinks in the summer when the weather is good and you can go outside.

I don't usually write reviews but I feel the need to let people on this platform know. An absolute shit show. 1) We were a group of 5 with a reservation at 10:30pm, and didn't get a table until 11:30pm. 2) After being talking to the manager and him assuring us that everything would be "OK", 2/5 of the meals never showed up to the table and when asked about the missing dishes, they claimed that the kitchen was closed. Waiter was nice about the situation, but the rest of the staff SUCKS

Not recommended at all. Strike 1: salad came with no dressing Strike 2: salad was supposed to come with kani and came with one cube of kani (for 8$) Strike 3: they have no tea and no coffee Strike 4: they dont have chocolate dessert Strike 5: they wanted to kick us out of the table to eat our dessert at the bar because they have other people waiting. Really a terrible restaurant.

Good fresh sushi and salads. Limited menu but some interesting choices. Great bar and cocktails. Service was above average. Expect to pay through the nose because it's (1) NYC and (2) Kosher. Oddly they were out of garden salad! But my Kani cucumber salad was out of this world. Atmosphere was the bomb (I think that still means really cool or awesome). Beware: group of 4: 20% gratuity was pre-charged.

Tourist trap. 20% gratuity charge for parties of 1 or larger. The menu was all over the place; sushi, but also Italian food, Mexican food, and American food. Definitely not worth it, especially for the exorbitant prices for food that can be considered 'edible' at best. The service was terrible to boot. Food came out fast, but refills on water were non-existent, the waiters were really chatty with each other and making themselves drinks, and even taking pictures for some tables instead of getting us the check. You're much better off grabbing literally anything else.

Well, the food was great, too bad we had to eat in the basement. A few weeks ago I made reservation to sit on the deck to celebrate our friend graduating from Social WorK School. The day of the dinner I called to confirm. I spoke with the person who answers the phone number listed on the website, the owner. He said everything was okay. 10 minutes later, I receive a call from Marco the manager saying they made a mistake and are cancelling our reservation due to the fact that they just booked a huge jewish singles event. I am now in panic mood. I call our friend Marg. She is the reason why we picked this place, she is kosher. The owner tells her that we can eat on the balcony and the food will be free, Marco calls me back and confirms that the balcony is ours, but we can also eat in the snooker room in the basement. As people start to arrive, Marco suggests that it would be better for all if our party remains in the basement. Le t us be very clear. This was not a misunderstanding. Misunderstandings do not end with, Thank you for being such a good sport, if you need anything from down there, you just text me and we will send Jessie the waitress to you. Jessie, by the way was fantastic. I would say normally when I am asked by a manager to eat my meal in the basement and stay hidden, I would leave. But there is no normally here. This was the first time. However, we all agreed that for the free food, we would allow the humiliation and remain hidden in the basement. And then the check came.... Any guesses? Food was on it. We called the owner who after some time told the manager to remove some of the food. We paid the bill, left a good tip for Jessie but would you want to eat at this place? Would you want to be told the food is free and then have to pay? Would you want to have to eat if you were told to be a good sport and stay out of site? Look at our group photo, make your own conclusions.

Hidden gem in the city. I visited here with a group of friends. The service was good, food was delicious. Definitely a place to come back.

when I first sat down they had a huge fan blowing in my face and was freezing cold I came as a party and when I got my food ,a poke bowl and with salmon I expected it to have more than one thin piece and a lot of small pecies of carrots . I was embarrassed that it was that small and cost 30$ basically just eat salad. two of my other party members ordered fried tacos and when they were given their food they gave them something completely different and said they ran out of fried fish - why would they serve something I didn't order. when I asked for a drink the waiter gave me horrible attitude and took over 30 mins for my other partie member to Recive his new food when we're abour to leave. I'm embarrased as we spent a lot of money - do better tempura NYC. I was going to put pictures but some people didn't even get food.

I've been here several times; the first time I loved it but it's all gone downhill since then. The first time I went, we received massive portions for very reasonable prices. Since then, the quality of fish and portion sizes have gone down. Additionally, you always have to call in advance to make sure they're open because they randomly close for parties without notice. I tried calling and texting back after the texted me to confirm they were open and to make a reservation and got no answer. Showed up just to find out they were closed. The owner(? I assume) tried to seat us in his other restaurant next door claiming we'd be able to order all the same sushi, which was FALSE. Much more limited sushi options for more money. Very disappointed in my recent experiences here but 2 stars for once being better

We waited 30 minutes for someone to clean the dirty dishes from the prior diners from our table, and only after I asked the manager. Waited another 10 minutes for someone to bring a menu. Noone did, so we just left. I am happy they are busy, but to ignore diners completely for over a half hour, leave dirty dishes, not bring a menu is ridiculous. The couple next to us said they only got served after walking over to the manager and demanding service and that they had been waiting a long time for their order. You can survive on hype for a while, but eventually your lack of care for your potential clientele will catch up with you.

Beautiful space but not so tasty food. Fish was hot. We were a large party and ordered almost every app on the menu, not was so tasty.Very unhappy overall.

It was ok, but it could've been better. That's the overall feeling for both the food, and the service. Also, the restaurant doesn't have a bathroom so you have to go downstairs to one that seems to be shared with the rest of the building.

Best service From the waiter Nicolas. He took care of us and his tables the whole night with his professional working skills.

They look at you like you don't belong there. The service was really bad, and they charge the 20% and get mad if you want to make a change.

Not very welcoming. We just arrived in the city and after check in, we were walking around trying to find a food place and we asked them if we were dressed okay. We had sweatshirts and leggings on. They said yes absolutely and once we got inside, we started to feel a bit underdressed and the staff made it very obvious to us. Our waiter came over to us and told us that they put on a 20% gratuity and if that was okay. We knew the prices and wouldn't go somewhere without being able to leave an appropriate tip. We felt as though they didn't think we would be able to pay because of how we were dressed. They rushed us in and out a bit. Also hard to tell where the restaurant is. The food was pretty good the sushi rolls were okay but the tuna cigar appetizer was very delicious.
