Cyan Izakaya Reviews
Every dish was executed perfectly — fresh, creative, and absolutely delicious.The service was just as impressive, and genuinely warm and friendly throughout the entire evening. It’s stylishly designed, and the ambiance is wonderful.
July 06 · YueHubby and I came in for dinner on Friday and had a delightful experience.Spacious and really nice vibe, I like the comfortable & soothing ambience along with their attentive services and pretty good sushi.We start off with Scallop, Squid, and Octopus Yakitori which I think they were alright. The Blue Fin Tuna Nori was pretty good. We also got the Sushi & Sashimi Mix, good quality and fresh. Lastly wow the Chilean SeaBass, it was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious!We will definitely be back to try other dishes.
June 14 · GrAcIE WWent there for my Birthday dinner and was so dissapointes! The decor was beautiful...Food was just meh, and prices are high on par with Manhattan...Creative rolls were whack, traditional rolls were ok but expensive...Other dishes missed the mark curry seafood dish was watery and they tried to pass off not fresh seafood by covering it in the sauce, I DID notice...Service was chaotic, seemed like they were still in training and there were 2 different people attenting to us and both didn't seem to know what was goint on or communicate with each other....I blew $200 for a very mediocre experience...Save your money, don't come here....UPDATE: In Response to the review I emailed the establishment as requested and the Email Bounced Back
July 21 · Matthew SpiegelLovely chic space in LIC for elevated Japanese/sushi fare and great cocktails. Cyan really shines with their sushi chef. Twice we ordered the chefs 10pc sushi (nigiri) selection which was inventive, varied, and really kinda perfect. Fluke was the best.Also highly recommend the spicy crispy rice and the matcha crème brûlée as well.Shout out to server Masa!
June 24 · Julie HTook one of my best friends here for his birthday last night and it was truly one of the most beautifully designed, delicious, accommodating restaurants I’ve ever had the joy of dining at in NY. As a former 13-year-long NYC resident, this topped the charts for hospitality, ambience, and quality of ingredients/thoughtful menus. If you want to treat someone special to a delicious meal, this is THE spot. I asked for a little glass each of celebratory sake when we walked in and they brought a whole chilled bottle, a special appetizer of wagyu beef, and gave us free edamame as well (I think this is their version of like a bread basket before the meal which was amazing bc we were so hungry and it came almost instantly after sitting down) Yoko was our waitress (she’s incredible and so kind,) and the manager, David is also so generous and kind. If you go here and your night was made by these gracious professionals, sincerely thank them and leave them reviews. It helps more than you know! To order, we highly recommend the Cyan Fox Roll, Wagyu fried rice, matcha crème brûlée (never having regular again!!!) anddd the blue fin tuna nori tacos! Cocktails: Throw Pillows/Rain Or Shine with Mezcal
