Lan is well known for their Shabu Shabu and Sushi, but to tell you the truth, everything they do is to this caliber.
Lan has been one of my favorite places to go eat for years.
After several initial great meals, I had to meet the kitchen staff and compliment them on a wonderful job.
Chef Akiyama commands his kitchen with typical Japanese efficiency and cleanliness. It is no wonder why meal after meal, this restaurant places as one of my top 5 favorite eateries in Manhattan. With a solid understanding of quality ingredients, his dishes are cleaver and delicious.
Yasu-san, the Sake Sommelier is another key element that brings joy to many of their patrons. His joyful hospitality and extreme knowledge in Premium Sakes puts Lan at the forefront of the Manhattan Sake Renaissance.
If you have a Japanese craving, hop in a cab and get yourself down to 3rd ave between 10th and 11th street.
Pros: Extremely Fair Menu Pricing
Cons: Hard to get reservation late in the week
