So fun and the sushi was incredible! They were very efficient here so this is not a place to linger as it is tiny. A very reasonably priced omakase, especially right before a show.

Our first time at this restaurant. The server was excellent and helped us navigate the menu. Food was some of the best Japanese I have ever had-- I have visited Japan over 6 times. We will definitely return on our next visit to NYC.

    Great authentic Sichuan food - so many good dishes to choose from and something for everybody, but the jellyfish salad and crystal shrimp dumplings were the highlight for me. It’s a cozy space and got much louder during the dinner time rush, but not unbearable. The staff did a fairly good job at managing everything, especially as it got busier.

    Viv was always my favourite Hells Kitchen restaurant so I was excited to try it since their renovation and menu refresh. It did not disappoint. Much more modern look with outstanding food and great service
