The miso wings are a must order! Amazing flavor and spice and only 16 dollars for 10 wings. The cocktails are decent too! The inside is small but it has a Japanese style influence which is cute

This place is awesome! We had reservations for a party of 2 for a Saturday evening. The place was poppin so make sure you make a res too! The vibe inside is dark and intimate. I would not recommend for parties larger than 4 For drinks we got the: - Sakura martini: surprisingly refreshing? - Far East Side: yum! - Hojicha old fashioned: (I did not taste but was told it's delicious) For food, we got the okonomiyaki. It was pretty salty and I don't think I'd buy it again (esp. for $19!) Overall - recommend for a lovely date night!

Went multiple times through a bar hop in LES. Cocktails are decent but not extremely amazing/memorable. It gets loud because it's popular and gets crowded as soon as the night hits.

I was a fan of the Hojicha Old Fashioned. The Far East was light and refreshing, but maybe not something I would order again. The bar was pretty empty when it opened, and service was quick. Their water cups are like 2 sips so they refilled my water 10 times.

It's quite crowded, dark, and noisy here, as per the norm for NY bars. The staff is generally very helpful and friendly. I especially like the Melon Ball, which, as its name suggests, is fruity and creamy, and not overly sweet. It definitely tastes like fresh cantaloupe and honeydew.

Walked in on a Friday bight. Didn't have reservations, but luckily, there was standing space available. Ume paloma was underwhelming. All the drinks that my friends and I tried seemed watered down. There wasn't a strong, prominent flavor to any of them. I wanted a stronger ume taste. The okonomiyaki was so good. Crispy exterior and soft inside. The best I've had in NYC. A great filling snack to be shared between people.

Cute intimate bar! Would be a great date spot. I got the plum boulevardier then switched to beer and shot which was a great deal for $13!

This place was featured on Bon Appetit's Top 100 places in NYC to check out a few years back, and is one of my friend's favorite places whose taste I trust wholeheartedly. We both love Japanese things and I got the vibe that this would be a bit of a hidden gem. Walked in and was able to get standing room before getting a table twenty minutes later on Fri around 6 for a party of 3. You are welcome to stay in the standing space (not an actual room, it's a small place) while waiting for your party with a drink - they do NOT take names/waitlist people so know this beforehand. The actual bar space is quite small, maybe seats 10 people while the rest is standing room and small tables. Better chance getting a table. FOOD AND DRINK- OKONOMIYAKI - this was delicious. I've been on the hunt for good okonomiyaki and prefer the hiroshima style with noodles but this was sooo nice and hefty, filling, savory, and not ot mention beautiful. FAR EAST SIDE - i like a citrusy drink and really enjoyed this, was bright and sweet but not too sweet. MISO WINGS - tender, miso-ey, savory, what more could you want? I would say to not miss the okonomiyaki if you come here. Also my friend told me to get the celery appetizer which I forgot so if and when I come back that will be a priority order!
