Appetite for Good

Matsuri’s interior is a perfect mirror reflection of Chef Tadashi Ono and his cooking – understated and unpretentious. Not meant to be ostentatious or flashy, the décor takes you to Japan – more specifically, a welcoming modern izakaya – where you can enjoy the food in its natural habitat.

Compassion. That’s not a word that comes to mind when someone mentions a Michelin star restaurant in New York City. You probably think “extravagant” or “exotic”. But compassion is exactly what Eric Ripert of Le Bernardin and David Chang of Momofuku Ko are.
