Review number 700 had to be saved for an amazingly awesome restaurant, and Bohemian fits the bill perfectly. I can not say this enough but man this place is amazing. Bohemian is literally a hidden gem in the city. And when I say literally, it is literally behind the Japanese butcher shop, and their phone number isnt listed for anyone to come here and eat. In order to even make a reservation here, you have to know someone who has eaten here before to get the number. Call to make a reservation, and theyll actually ask who gave you the number. Pretty wild for a restaurant, but I guess its to keep the crowd down. Inside, there really isnt much seating. At the bar, you can probably fit 5-8 people, and with the couple of tables that they have, you can add in another 20ish people. That means that on a busy day, there could be less people here than at your local McDonalds. The decor is amazing. Nice and dim, this is a spot to go out on a date. There is a nice little zen garden here, which is actually pretty cool to look at. So with any restaurant, you are coming here for the food. At Bohemian, they do not disappoint. What is amazing? Well the list keeps on going and going: - Foie Gras Soba - Uni Croquette - Wagyu Beef Burgers - Beef Sashimi - Ikura Caviar Rice Bowl - Sake Panna Cotta By far, my favorite dish here was the beef sashimi. Amazing amazing amazing. If you dont get anything else here, get the beef sashimi. Thats not to say that the other things here arent amazing either. If I could, I would come here every night for dinner because its just that good. The drinks here arent half bad either. Before dinner, I had myself a Manhattan and it was made just as well as the one Id get at Angels Share or PDT. On top of that, the service here is pretty damn good too. With only about 10 people here at a time, they are on the ball. Bohemian is not a place to be missed. The food is well worth the money, and in actuality, the price isnt half bad either. Drinks are solid, service is prompt, and the ambiance is amazing. I cant think of a bad thing to say about Bohemian except for the fact that I should have eaten here sooner!

Bohemian restaurant is an intimate Japanese speakeasy that serves amazing gut-busting dishes (esp if you get their prix fixe for $58 pp). Three dishes they deliver exceptionally well: beef sashimi, roasted branzino, and Honey Lemon pannacotta. *Unfortunately, I will only share the number with people I know. Intimate- The restaurant can seat ~30 people maximum at one time. So very small space. And they only accept reservations for a Max of 6 people at one time. Due to the space limitation, they have Very strict policies. The FOOD was surprising and delicious. -The Farmers Fresh Vegetable Fondue was beautiful display of fresh daikon, white and orange baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red peppers, and radicchio. Beautiful, appetizing and fun to dip into the fondue. Fondue was warmed with a tea light candle. -Uni croquette was a mushroom croquette topped with uni. Great crispy mushroom croquette, I just wished the uni tasted more briny. Not my favorite but my friends enjoyed this dish very much. -The Washu short-rib Beef sashimi was so fatty, it had the consistency of oh-toro. I loved it! They gave condiments of wasabi, lemon, mushroom infused garlic and daikon. The best pairing was with mushroom infused garlic. The mushroom and garlic with the fatty beef melds into the perfect bite. -Pan roasted Branzini. I was surprised how delicious roasted fish can be. Easily one of the better dishes in the prix fixe menu. Roasted with olive oil, garlic, olives, baby potatoes, cauliflower, rosemary, anchovies, and zucchini. So good. I am definitely coming back to order this. -Kobe and angus beef sliders. Perfect medium rare. And they cooked 6 of them to the perfect T and doneness. Juicy, perfectly seasoned. Very good. What I loved more than the slider was the roasted potatoes accompanying this dish. Salty, crunchy, carmelized potatoes. OMG. too good. - Honey lemon yuzu panna cotta. Loved the Lemon and yuzu in the pannacotta. Very appetizing. The panna cotta was smooth and creamy. I would have asked for two if I wasnt so full.

One of my favorite Japanese restaurant in NYC is Bohemian. Not only they have amazing food, but they have the best setting for relaxing, calm, cozy, and beautiful dining space. They are exclusive (referral-only) East Village Japanese restaurant, hidden behind a butcher shop. No open table reservation or walk-in allowed here. You either have to know someone who dined here personally, or, invited by the restaurant to dine here. By having this strict system, it is they created a place that is quiet, peaceful “hang-out” space for family and friends. As soon as you walk in, you are transported to an oasis, a space of perfect tranquility. They only have around 22 seating, plus around 6 counter seats at the bar. With this setting with limited seating, even when it is fully packed, you still don’t feel like you are in a crowded space. It is never going to be super loud, or people bumping into, or struggling to move around. For a larger parties of 4 or more, they have an area with sofas, so you are still able to relax and have a good time with your loved ones. We ordered their tasting menu and everything was superb, and they give you so much food that you will be completely full and then some. What you get here at Bohemian is not only the delicious food, but the whole experience. It will be one of the best dinner experience in the City for sure. To dine with the ones you love, at such relaxing, tranquil space is great, but to have such high quality food and drinks just take it to the next level. The server of this night was not very friendly or nice, which was disappointing… but you can’t always have the best server each time you visit. Our previous visit was even more fantastic because our server was a warm, kind, friendly person who welcomed us with big smile. I can’t wait to go back for some other dishes that they offer, as they have interesting and amazing menu outside the tasting course menu.

Intimate lighting + Expensive living room furniture + Modern Art = Cozy dining environment at Bohemian. The place was small but felt very warm and inviting. The service was wonderful as the staff are both knowledgeable and friendly. We sat at the bar area, but to me, it looked like it was more comfortable than the low coffee table seatings. (im fairly tall, so id have to hunch over if eating at those tables). It also gave us an opportunity to watch the bartender do her magic. She put so much care into making out drinks, it seemed like art in motion. We ordered the cucumber cocktail, the cilantro cocktail, and a fruity strawberry cocktail. all of the drinks were delicious! For the meal, we both had the tasting menu ( i think everyone at the table has to order it if you want to get it). It included the veggie fondue, uni croquette, bronzini, sashimi, and yuzu panna cotta. My favorite parts were probably the Bronzini and yuzu panna cotta, although everything was delicious!. For 2 people both ordering the tasting menu, you get 1 bronzini to share. Its roasted in a cast iron skillet with potatoes, rosemary, capers, anchovies, mushrooms and cauliflower. It was super filling and delicious! The dessert was also delightful, but unfortunately i was so full by then that i could not finish the whole thing. I still look back regrettably at the last few bites that i left to waste. Will definitely be coming back! PS i will not give anyone who tries contacting me here a referral
