Zutto Japanese American Pub

"Zutto is one of those places you spot on the way to the Holland Tunnel and make a mental note to stop there sometime. Well, we did and this long-running izakaya remains a pleasant place to have a drink or eat a meal, with a Japanese American menu that includes sushi, ramen, steamed buns and other small dishes. As of late it’s offering DIY hand rolls." - Robert Sietsema

"Best known as the ultimate Ramen retreat, Zutto fuses Japanese cuisine and culture by bringing far-eastern delights like saki, sushi, and ramen up close and personal. That means serious flavor for your tastebuds." - The Charles

"One of the city’s first izakayas, founded over 20 years ago, has long served a menu of sushi and Japanese comfort classics, along with a growing list of very good ramen in tall narrow bowls. The noodles themselves are more substantial than most and of average circumference, and many of the combinations are remarkable — including one bowl that resembles wonton soup, tastily bridging the gap between Japanese ramen and its Chinese antecedents." - Robert Sietsema

"Zutto, a Japanese restaurant that closed in May after 30 years, will reopen on July 24th. It offers ramen, buns, and small plates." - Serena Dai
