Salt + Charcoal

We’ve been to this robatayaki steakhouse a few times and always have good experience. Very decent food and attentive service. Hubby & I recently went for an early dinner couple weeks ago on a rainy Friday evening and luckily we were able to get a table without reservation. We start off with Uni & Wagyu Beef roll which was mouthwatering good. For main course we opted for the 30 day Jyukusei Porterhouse Steak for Two, it was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. Along with a side of S+C Baked Potatoes made a great meal.

This is my favorite restaurant in NYC. Everything is spectacular. I have a feeling they are in for a Michelin star soon. One night a had 3 orders of the Boston scallop to my face. The Wagyu tasting platter is epic. Best crab cake I’ve ever had. Everything here is the best I’ve ever had when it comes to an all around proper Japanese restaurant. This restaurant is a gold mine of culinary pleasure and flavor.

We had a big party of 7 people. Very good presentation. Great service. Tea tasted good and it was hot and served in a tea pot like a real tea. Everyone at the table loved the food. Everybody was saying it was delicious, but not me. I just personally don’t like steaks. And almost everything we ordered was grilled. And after every goodI tried a had a burned food aftertaste in my mouth. The affogato was amazing. I really like Japanese cuisine, but not this type.

We ordered the smoked duck main and the ny strip steak. They were both delicious, the duck it was outstanding! As well as the shishito peppers. We had crab cake as appetizer, it was delicious but a bit pricey for one piece. The flavors are balanced, well thought, the service was great and on point. Looking forward to go back soon!

The food was good. I spent 470 dollars for two people and went for the uni mignon steak(the MP was 190 that day), the strip steak, and assorted sashimi of the day. The uni was fantastic. It had a sweet taste and a super soft texture. But the sashimi was frozen. So it was freezing when served to the table. So it is hard for us to taste the sashimi. I could taste the ice that infused the meat. But again, the uni was fantastic. Service is okay, but you can get better one in other expensive restaurants (Those Michelin restaurants). They should have cleaned the table on time. They only cleaned half of it and left the other half wet. And provided me with two knives and no fork for my steak. All in all, If you need a great uni or wagyu experience, come here!
