by Sharifa C. on I guess I didn't enjoy myself, the crowd, the ambience (as much as I could have), or the experience because I couldn't get past the fact that I had discovered DOUCHEBAG central (douche men AND women) in the Frying Pan. WOW!!! I felt like I was back at a dive bar at my alma mater (a Big 10 university in the midwest). But this dive university bar was filled w/ mid to late 20 somethings, 30 somethings, and older creepy men trying to find side pieces. smh I went on a Fri. evening (around 5) so that may have been the first mistake. It was so crowded that me and my friends couldn't find a table at all and we stayed for over an hour). The one table we did find wasn't fit to be occupied because someone had just thrown up all over the table and floor surrounding the table. The staff (bless their hearts for even working here) probably didn't even know so others after us sat right on down!...yikes I don't wanna give up on this place so hey, maybe I went on the wrong nite. I'll try again for a Sun. afternoon or Tues/Wed. nite...
by Evan Zheng on Consider the name of this restaurant, which is owned by a very famous Iron Chef, Masaharu Morimoto, you will think eating in this place will burn your wallet. But surprisingly, this is the most affordable sushi restaurant I've ever been to, consider the taste, presentation, portion, service, atmosphere, also the feeling of being in the famous chef's restaurant. I think Omakase is the most worth meal to try in this place. What a wonderful experience! - Irene Suwarno
by Johnie Lugo on Such a great NYC experience! The food is great! I love that you get your own food and your own beer and sit down. The problem starts when you're there right after work and the place is packed! They need to come up with a better seating system. Other than that, everyone must experience the Frying Pan before they close it for Fall/Winter!
