Business Summary  what's this?
For four star Japanese, try Shabu-Tatsu in New York. This is a great place. Try this spot for cheap eats in the E. Village neighborhood. Upon entering the restaurant, you'll find a family atmosphere. This restaurant is open late. People who have eaten here found the food great fun to make.

When it's cold outside, this is the place to be for some warm shabu shabu or sukiyaki. The steam from the hot pot is also great for that facial you've been wanting to get.
