Kokage - New York

Most of the elements in the menu are actually not available.

Cuisine was exquisite. The kitchen seems to be too busy, and too much intervals for the next dish. Timing to be served next dishes is also very important to enjoy the flow of the dinner.

Wonderful. Very sad that it will be closing so soon. I am going back today.

Food was good and the presentation was nice. However, the restaurant asked for proof of vaccination at the entrance and both my companion and I were taken by surprise, as very few restaurants require it these days. We were not informed that the restaurant required this information in advance, so we almost were not allowed in. The restaurant needs to better communicate with customers in advance if they require a proof of vaccination.

The food was good, but the portion was a bit small. The way the staff treated my friend and me was unacceptable. We arrived at 5:30 and were told the restaurant was fully booked after 7:00. This was rude and I have never experienced such strict time limits at a restaurant before. My thoughts: - It would be better to communicate this policy on the reservation page. - American restaurants usually handle customers arriving late or leaving early without issue. - All customers should be treated equally, regardless of their status as regulars. The staff could have handled the situation better by not making us feel rushed and by seating us away from the noisy regular customers. Overall, the staff's behavior was disappointing.
