NYC Restaurants

Kevin Takarada has opened his second MakiMaki location in Midtown near Grand Central. The restaurant relies on machinery to turn out quick, high-quality sushi and hand rolls while you wait. In the new location, diners are greeted by a giant ink print of a carp. The sushi is top notch. Options include Bluefin Turo withshidonleaf and cucumber, Grilled Salmon Belly with sea salt, lettuce and mayo, and Blue Crab with avocado and cucumber. Customized rolls are also available along with specialty sauces like Truffled Eel. Custom blended teas and matcha drinks are also available.
