Shokudo 34

Got a hankering for rice bowls while roaming around and found this place. We arrived when they had just opened so it was still kind of warm inside. The food we got (karaage, ramen & rice bowls) all tasted great, aptly portioned and arrived in a timely manner. The staff was kind & quick.

This is a great Japanese restaurant that lives up to its authentic roots to Japan. The food is delicious and the service prompt. The dumplings are soft and soupy, edemame are seasoned right and ice cream tempura is perfectly cooked. Will visit again.

Our favourite meal in New York. Delicious meal and drinks, well priced and quick and friendly, chatty service. Still thinking about the food and have since recommended to many friends.

Ambiance & Service was commendable. Server was really attentive. Gave me options and choices that fits my taste best. They gave me a seat that was supposed to be for 4 but rather they did adjust and made it for 2. That’s service right there. Thank you! Since I have been into Ramen, I would be honest, pricing is a bit up there, but not surprised since the spot is right in Manhattan. I was maybe expecting a lot since the reviews were really good, not my best option but definitely something to try. The Takoyaki might have been more better if it had a lot of sauce or an option to have more sauce on it. A little bit dry for my tasting but good since tasted fresh. Tonkatsu Ramen, I had the option to make it spicy by them giving me chili sauce on the side and it made me happy since I can’t cons

We ordered agedashi tofu to share and I ordered beef donburi rice for myself. We came at around 7pm but it was very empty. Food was served after 15 minutes which was not bad but not reasonable for a restaurant with only 3 guests. The tofu was crispy and so creamy. It would be even better if more salt was added. The rice was okish, not a lot of beef and mostly rice. We ordered 2 donburi and they were put in 2 closed containers. The waitress was not even sure which is which. Overall, not the best Japanese but not a bad place. I will not return tho because there are better options in NYC
