For those of you who had preferred Cafe Zaiya’s onigiri because they have that nifty plastic wrapper that keeps the nori crisp and away from the rice– Chiyoda has switched to this packaging!

I discovered Chiyoda on a wet Sunday afternoon when I was looking for Cafe Zaiya. Zaiya must be at its best on weekdays…the Sunday selection was not very good, and I began to wonder why it has such a good reputation. Then I wandered into Chiyoda. If Chiyoda is better on weekdays, I am unworthy of its splendor…seriously, it was WONDERFUL!! All the choices and the kind of freshness and selection you would not expect on a weekend. Most of my fellow customers were Asian tourists and Asian-American hipsters.

[...] won pretty handily by Cafe Zaiya (41st btw. Madison+5th), as it beats out both neighbors Chiyoda & Yagura, plus Go Go Curry. Editor’s Pick: Chiyoda has got the edge on quality, but [...]

[...] Place you discovered thanks to Midtown Lunch: Chiyoda and Azuri Cafe. Wowee Zowee. Thanks! I’ve been meaning to try Sophie’s Cuban. Oms/b, too but it’s pretty far from where I’m at. [...]

I used to enjoy Chiyoda but got tired of the incredibly RUDE service there. I’m an
extremely polite gentleman and am a regular at many Japanese establishments, but have
never experience such blatantly rude service anywhere.

Just discovered the Chiyoda delivery man staked out on 50th bet 6/7th (right near the Au Bon Pain outdoor seating). He had beautiful disposable bento boxes full of their daily specials that are pre allocated to various Japanese business people who place orders and pick them up from the guy. When I stopped by to inquire, he said he had extra boxes for sale as well. So for $8.00, I got a box fith cod fish as well as chicken meatballs, stirfried pork and potatoes, japanese pickles and a big mound of rice. Great alternative for those of us working at 1221 but don’t have the time to get good japanese!

Just went as a first timer here. Can confirm that the avacodo and salmon tartar is $5.50. Bought it anyway and I have to admit it was worth it. Got that, an eel roll for $4.25 and a pumpkin salad (that’s more like a mash than a salad) for $3.00. $13.80 for lunch, I reasoned the splurge was justified because I made my own lunch all week. Pricey, but the quality is really good…

[...] I’ve written about the “moderate” Chiyoda Sushi, which serves very creative little Japanese dishes as well as the regular assortment of bento boxes, pre-packaged sushi, and a small selection of rice balls. It is the most expensive of the three places, and usually not too packed (although they certainly do a healthy business). [...]

[...] According to Midtown Lunch’er “John M.”, Chiyoda Sushi has raised their prices: The avocado and salmon tartare used to be the hottest deal in midtown. Now it’s like $5.75, a pretty big hike that seems to be spread to most of their other wares as well. Protest! Protest! Looks like Yagura is going to start hopping a bit more. [...]

I think this is owned by the same people that own the Japanese grocery store on 59th Street between 3rd & 2nd that also has a selection of prepared sushi and a little hot food too, very cheap.
