We, Tokyo Ichiban Foods, started our business in the restaurant industry. We continue to pursue serving quality food that will delight our guests, and we cherish our relationship with them. Today, pivoting from our strong origin, we are also expanding our scope of business to aqua-farming, seafood processing and distribution.
We oversee the process through professional culinary eyes, from when the fish is cultivated until it is served to our guests. This allows us to build a sustainable and traceable system that will lead to higher customer satisfaction.
Japanese cuisine is blessed with opulent nature from both the mountains and the sea, which brings us rich seafood. Our wish is to bring quality seafood and Japanese food culture to the world, making the global food culture even richer and stronger.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Wokuni offers an exceptional Japanese dining experience with "fresh, tasty, and unique" dishes. Patrons rave about the "authentic sushi" and "superb cocktails." The ambiance, "beautifully presented" food, and standout service, especially from staff like Ivan, enhance the experience. While some note "pricey" elements, many find it "worth every penny."

    We had delicious food and yummy sake - all recommendations from our amazing waiter! We all loved our vegetable tempura and the variety of sushi rolls ordered. Overall, totally recommend this place and in a convenient, midtown locale, close to Grand Central.

    Worst meal and service ever experienced, hot food came cold so sent back and the reheated the same dishes. Manager took no responsibility just said this never happens. I wouldn’t recommend go to Zuma instead

    I had high hopes for Wokuni, and while the food was excellent, the service was a huge disappointment. At first, everything was fine, but as the restaurant got slightly busier, the servers started ignoring us. One server in particular—an older, skinny Asian man—completely disregarded our table while continuing to serve others around us. When I politely waved him over to ask for more tea, he looked directly at me, acknowledged my request, and then rolled his eyes before walking away. He never brought the tea, and I had to flag down another server just to get a simple refill. The level of disservice and disrespect was incredibly frustrating, especially since we were there celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday. A great meal can’t make up for poor service, and unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression. Would think twice before returning.

    This was some of the best sushi I’ve had since being in Japan. The drinks were also very good and the ambiance was nice. Really enjoyed our evening here.
