MEGU - New York, NY

Meaning “blessing” in Japanese, MEGU presents modern Japanese cuisine, sushi, and sumibi aburiyaki—a grilling technique using bincho-tan, a special charcoal found only near Kyoto and prized for its superior purifying properties.

Both MEGU’s menu and design concept are a blend of traditional and modern Japanese times. Authentic and avant-garde ingredients are combined to suit every palate. The overall décor is filled with customary Japanese interior accents, complimented with a contemporary ambiance.

The MEGU team has carefully selected the best American Kobe Beef available in the U.S. Other Japanese condiments such as salt, soy sauce and 6 varieties of miso are also carefully selected, special for MEGU cuisine.

MEGU has a team of selected chefs and does not employ the idea of a star chef. Instead, it has a collection of chefs who work as a team—the ingredients are the stars.

Some of MEGU’s signature dishes include: MEGU Original Crispy Asparagus, MEGU Oriental Salad, Crispy “Kanzuri” Shrimp, Salmon Tartare, Kobe Beef Carpaccio with Basil, Foie Gras in Crispy Kobe Beef Croquettes, MEGU Kobe Beef Slices “Ishiyaki” and Kobe Beef Skewers.
