About:
Rei is a Japanese restaurant in the West Village offering both refined kaiseki-style tasting menus and an extensive à la carte selection rooted in traditional technique. The restaurant’s $120 Kaiseki Course Menu moves from delicate starters like Japanese-style pudding topped with sea urchin and caviar to grilled Miyazaki wagyu and a sake-soaked castella dessert, while a dedicated $100 Vegan Kaiseki highlights seasonal vegetables, yuba, tofu, and tea-broth rice dishes. Rei’s à la carte menu spans classic preparations including dashimaki tamago, miso-marinated fish, kakuni pork belly, karaage, tempura, and rice and noodle dishes such as ramen, chazuke, and yakisoba. Desserts stay traditional, with offerings like strawberry daifuku, castella with sake syrup, and green tea ice cream, reinforcing the restaurant’s focus on classic Japanese flavors and balance.
