It's “such fun” trying “dishes you've never heard of” at this “different” East Midtown Japanese where many of the delicately flavored” items come off a robata grill; it's a lot “like going to Tokyo”, so “don't expect to hear much English.”

New York offers the world, and at Aburiya Kinnosuke, patrons are treated to an insider's view of Japan. From its mostly Japanese clientele to the extensive menu not often found outside Japan, This restaurant is every bit the real thing. Guests are invited to take part in the action here, where sochu cocktails involve citrus to be hand-squeezed, and grilled dishes require cooking over a small table top charcoal grill. Yawarakani, a kind of Japanese comfort food involving ground-chicken-mini meatloaves cooked over open charcoal is one of the highlights of the menu. Ingredients are top-notch and the attention to detail from the chefs in the open kitchen is superb. Aburiya Kinnosuke requires advance booking, but once you're in, you won't be rushed through your meal by the cordial and competent staff.
