Editorial Review

Small, cavernous, often crowded joint attracts recent college grads who googled "All You Can Eat Manhattan" prior to dining. AYCE deal comes with strict stipulations (lasts two hours, must finish everything on your plate or else incur a charge), and sushi falls well below Nobu standards. Authoritarian waitresses weave in and out of tables nonchalantly, even when the resto is full with a wait. The price is unbeatable, especially for testing the waters on a date. Why waste time or money?
