New York, NY — Katen at the Marriott Marquis

Katen — Marriott Marquis Hotel 1535 Broadway New York, New York

Katen is located in the eighth floor lobby of Marriott's flagship New York property. The Marquis is my preferred New York hotel located in the heart of Times Square. While I had tried sushi before, it was at Katen that I really began to appreciate it.

I was a sushi novice and I ordered the sushi combination at the sushi bar. A few weeks later I visited Katen again and the sushi chef recognized me. He had some mirugai (giant clam) sashimi and asked whether I would like to try some. Since then mirugai has become my favorite type of sushi. It gave me the opportunity to try more exotic types of sushi.

I have been to Katen several times over the last five years. Even when business keeps me away from New York for many months at a time, the staff always treats me like a regular. The sushi is always fresh and the service is excellent. Perhaps for sentimental reasons — Katen is one of my favorite sushi restaurants.
