Best

I was there on a Friday night with a couple friends and the place was packed. We were able to get reservations only an hour or so before arriving. Our reservation wasn't available...

Worst

To be completely honest, it was not the food that turned me off of this place, but the rude hostesses and servers. I have been here many times before and tried to give it a second...

The Best Breakfast! Excellent food: high quality, wonderfully prepared. Generous portions: you can get their awesome omelettes in petite size, which is still big! And friendly staff: always smiling, they deliver the food fast! Pros: good value, killer food, friendly staff Cons: parking not great, can get crowded more

Editorial

  • Whether it's a Monday afternoon or a Saturday night, drinks or dinner, couples or a group of friends, this place is jam-packed virtually any hour on any day of the week. Celebrating 20 years of success, this original outpost of the Chaya empire had a facelift in early 2010 with a chic update on the airy art-deco dining room: sculptural light fixtures add a warm glow, hanging blackboards frame the open kitchen and organically shaped Chinese lanterns hover above the bar-lounge. The expanded menu--helmed by Shigefumi Tachibe--offers everything from fruits de mer and the famed spicy tuna tartare (Chef Tachibe is said to have invented the dish more than 25 years ago) to entrees like lobster-shrimp ravioli, the Chaya burger and grilled organic tempeh with curried coconut lentils. But the real star of the show is the seafood, including the always popular soy-glazed black cod served over Hijiki garlic brown rice and asparagus tempura. There is also a coquillage menu (think steamed mussels, bouillabaisse and paella) and full sushi bar, which offers happy hour all night, every night. (As long as you're sitting in the lounge area.)
