Hirohisa 73 Thompson Street, Manhattan, New York 10012

"Our experience at Hirohisa Restaurant left much to be desired, with a meal that failed to inspire or excite. Despite commendable efforts in presentation, the flavors fell flat, leaving all six of us underwhelmed. The food, at best, was average, lacking the depth and creativity expected from a dining establishment of its caliber. The sashimi, in particular, was disappointingly bland and tough, failing to leave a lasting impression. While we appreciated the effort put into presentation, it was not enough to salvage what was ultimately a lackluster dining experience. Hirohisa Restaurant receives an A for effort, but regrettably, it falls short of delivering a memorable meal. In summary, Hirohisa Restaurant's uninspired offerings and lackluster flavors warrant a rating of 4/10. For those seeking culinary excellence, Hirohisa may not be the ideal destination"

"My japanese friend was the one who dragged me here to try out their food (specifically the uni-don, she’s addicted I swear). She’s particularly finicky about where she eats her japanese food, so I knew I was in for a treat! We came in for lunch, and got a reservation for 12 PM on a Sunday. It seems like for lunch, there’s a mix of people who reserve and walk in. The restaurant interior is simple and homey, with an open kitchen concept. I will preface, it’s not cheap to eat here. This isn’t a 3 roll combo lunch special type of place, Hirohisa is a place with a streamlined, limited menu of dishes. And you know with places like these, that a smaller menu means they Know what they’re doing. I got the Chirashi set, which was delicious! They included some fish of the day, and had a variety of fish that wasn’t included in your typical chirashi, and had a uni and roe as well! The rice was seasoned well, and the sides that came with it were simple but well done. My friend got the uni-don, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I also got the Yame Green Tea x Grapefruit Sake Cocktail, which honestly could be one of my favorite cocktails of all time. The tartness of the grapefruit and earthiness of the green tea complimented well with the sake! All in all, Hirohisa is a great place to go if you want quality Japanese food! It’s definitely more of a splurge place (I mean, it does have a michelin star, so it’s to be expected), but worth it in my opinion!"

"I was quite disappointed about the food. The uni was not at all fresh. I had eaten multiple pieces which tastes bitter and left bad after taste. Our waitress speaks too softly. It was almost impossible to hear her. Some dishes requires spoons, but we only got chopsticks. I paid 30 dollar additional to get the uni rice but was so disappointed for the quality of uni. I feel the food was overpriced."

"Absolutely amazing food! We had the omakase menu for dinner. The ambiance was very relaxed and the service was great. The ingredients used in the food are mostly from different parts of Japan and taste special. Would recommend this experience to everyone."
