Restaurant Riki, New York, New York, Japanese Restaurant Details

Food:

Seasonal Oden winter menu was a treat. There's more to Japanese cuisine than just sushi. Neat private booths for a party of 4-6.

Food:

feel like in Japan. reasonable price and food is tasty.

Food:

By default, this izakaya gets 3 stars for creating an environment that is authentic in tone and menu. But folks...those are the only perks, really. Have you ever ridden a roller-coaster at a more-dilapidated theme park? The big drop is the only high point.

Though Riki is legit, it is not pretty; the karaoke rooms are traditional, but they feel dated and hospice-y. The osusume (waitress-recommended) ramen was NOT what I expected; it was soggy and outside of the traditional Japanese palate of tastes (aka nihon-faux-pas). The meal was overpriced. I'd recommend trying it for yourself, but do not expect to be blown away!

Food:

Went for lunch per my brother's recommendation. Ordered suraa tanmen and combined with great service - I see why lunch time is very busy!

Food:

For a complete japanese experience go to the back, and you stay cross legged with no shoes in a private dinning room. This place is as japanese as you can get in NYC, they do not even take the tip. The most important part the food: it is really good, the rolls are delicious, specially the avocado salmon roll, they are big and you can satisfy with just 1 orden. They have a lot of other food in the menu from meat noodle soups to very traditional spring rolls. The service is very nice
