LOVE Bondst. My favorite Japanese resto in NYC 25 years and counting. And I love how they take care of their regulars. Best order... Yuzu Martini, crab salad, tuna crispy rice, spicy crispy shrimp, chicken katsu bao, miso sea bass skewers, and chocolate lava cake.

Great experience, food was excellent, service was good, noise level is a bit too much, had to yell to hear each other. But otherwise we loved the experience. Our fav dish- the tartare, followed by the truffle mushroom pasta, the waygu flight of three, and the hit me chocolate cake, in that order. Would go back again.
