"In a minefield of cheap, often inferior sushi houses gleams tiny Jewel Bako. In one of the best sushi restaurants in the East Village, the futuristic bamboo tunnel of a dining room is gorgeous, but try to nab a place at the sushi bar and put yourself in t..."

"Jewel Bako is the Japanese pronunciation of jewel box, an apt name for this precious gem. Seats are hard to come by in the highly stylized, tiny tunnel of a dining room, lined with bamboo...."

"Company Information: This sushi spot may have been criticized for its small portions and lack of space, especially at the sushi bar, which seats just six! But there are many who swear by the horse mackerel, monkfish liver, omakase dinners for a fixed pric..."

"East Village superstars Grace and Jack Lamb now have a small place next to their crown jewel (Jewel Bako), where tapas stretch across Spain through France. Creative chef Wesley Genovart follows the latest trend of working in an open kitchen, and the resul..."

"The menu at Degustation is loosely reminiscent of a tapas bar, although many of the dishes are well adrift from their Spanish moorings. Small plates range from $4–15, and the server suggests that three or four is enough for a meal...."

"The glittering interior is probably worth the hike to the East Village (the name means “jewel box”), and despite the constant migration of sushi chefs, Jack and Grace Lamb’s unlikely restaurant remains the consensus choice among sushi snobs for the best s..."

"Think of this exclusive eatery as that narrow light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel hallway you walk down before you arrive in sushi heaven -- visually and culinary speaking. Jewel Bako -- which is Japanese-hipster for 'jewel box' -- delivers its first knockout..."
