Located inside The Trump World Tower, Megu's innovative Japanese cuisine was one of my top choices for this summer's NYC Restaurant Week. We came here on a weekday, so the place wasn't crowded at all. The place is also very contemporary and fashionable - good for all types of occasions (dates/family/business meals). Service was also magnificent - I didn't expect the service to be superb on restaurant week, but Megu's staff proved me wrong!
Appetizer: Crispy "Kanzuri" Shrimp. Not too impressed. It tasted too similar to fried chicken for me. Probably shouldn't have chosen this as an appetizer.
Appetizer: Yellowtail Carpaccio. Yum! Nicely sliced and tasty...a nice touch with the jalapeños. The yellowtail tasted very fresh. Served cold.
Entrée: Chef's Omakase Sushi. I prefer the sashimi over the sushi rolls, which had way too much rice. Every entree came with miso soup.
Dessert: Matcha Green Tea Crepe (my favorite), Tiramisu w/ Crunchy Almonds, Chocolate Cake, and New York Cheesecake. A female? Well you're in luck! All ladies have the option to choose two desserts from the menu (with no extra costs). Score!
Overall: 3/5
