Ranked from the ratings we track · nobody has written it up yet
Of the 154 Japanese places we track in Manhattan, Sake Bar Asoko sits at #10. It's in Lower East Side. We also file it under Bar & Grill. Most-mentioned: the sashimi and udon. What people bring up: it's a date-night room and the cocktails get a mention. 130 ratings sit behind it. Good scores, small crowd. That combination is what the underrated flag is for. Prices land around $$ ($15–30 a head).
Rated in the top quarter, but only 130 people have found it — about a quarter of what a typical japanese place near here gets.
Every place is measured the same way, so these are real positions in a real line — a rating built from where it actually stands. Sake Bar Asoko sits in the top 6% of japanese places we track.
