replying to u/Agreeable-Ad-7110: Curry- Katsu-hama Tonkatsu- Prime Meat Rokko Soba- Ise closed down so now nippon Udon- Raku Tempura- Tempura Matsui (note, this is traditional so it's not just "crispiest batter" like secchu yokota which is clearly better for western taste palates) Modern takes on Japanese dishes- Sakagura Shabu shabu- Shabu Mayumon for a weird but great shabu omakase, momokawa for better shabu with an actual broth, but it's bloody expensive unfortunately Yakiniku- Idk, but have heard good things about yakiniku futago Yakitori- Kono for omakase, totto for cheaper. I will say, the omakases were better like a couple years ago when they cooked the chicken less so they were still a little pink and also they could serve more parts of the chicken like chochin (ovary + fallopian tube).

replying to u/crazeman: Probably not worth traveling out of the way for but if you are ever in the Prospect Heights area, [Geido](https://www.yelp.com/biz/geido-brooklyn) is a excellent spot for Japanese food. They've been in the neighborhood since 1985. It's super casual, nothing fancy but I find everything to be extremely well priced and the fish/food is high quality compared to the price. I honestly think it's the most "bang for the buck" Japanese spot I've ever been to. \--- [Yakiniku West](https://www.yelp.com/biz/yakiniku-west-new-york) is a casual Japanese BBQ spot. I haven't been there since COVID but I used to love the cozy atmosphere in the main dining area. They used to make everyone take off their shoes at the entrance (they stopped doing this after COVID) so you're gliding around in socks and you get to sit on their floor cushion with the indented feet area. It makes me feel like I'm in Japan even though I've never been. They're pretty well priced and run different specials depending on the day, like they'll have a short rib day, or a Salmon day, etc. They also have a surprisingly robust menu and they're all pretty solid/good. Maybe they're not doing that well but I noticed that recently they started doing AYCE packages ranging from $38 - 58 per person for 2 hours and all you can drink for +$20. IMO that's actually a decent deal considering that the cheapest AYCE is Favor 99 and even that is $32 a person. The $38 package offers limited meats, but I feel like they're the cut of…
