About Us

We are a restaurant where you can experience the dining culture of USHG, originating from New York.

Union Square Tokyo, the first overseas establishment of USHG, opened on March 30, 2007, in Tokyo Midtown, Roppongi. USHG stands for Union Square Hospitality Group, a restaurant company leading the dining culture in New York. The restaurants managed by USHG, such as Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, and The Modern, are all unique and have been beloved by New Yorkers for many years. Their common trait is "Vibrant."　meaning full of energy. Enjoying dishes made with seasonal local ingredients, engaging in conversations with knowledgeable and hospitable staff, and spending time with like-minded friends to invigorate yourself for tomorrow. This is the way to enjoy a USHG-style restaurant. We want you to experience this dining culture. We want you to feel comfortable. And we wish to enrich the lives of every one of our guests. This is our desire.

Our Cuisine

Union Square Tokyo fosters strong connections with local farmers, frequently visiting to procure seasonal produce. They present simple dishes that highlight the excellence of these fresh ingredients.

Although "simple" may imply minimal effort, their technique includes careful preparation and elegant presentation that disguises the complexity involved. Their menu evolves with the seasons, featuring dishes that result from thorough testing and fine-tuning.
