Izakaya

With the pedigree and direction of Kata Robata's Manabu Horiuchi and former Cove chef Jean-Philippe Gaston , this Japanese gastro-pub in Midtown is poised to be the next hot spot for fall.

Chef Philippe Gaston , his mentor and former employer, Manabu Horiuchi , for a fun & scrumptious take on the “Izakaya” – an informal Japanese drinking establishment that serves food to accompany drinks. Read more

Tiger's.. Perfect coctail , a bit bitter with the green chillies in it and also lime , I loved it! And all the food we got, all were sooo tasty. Grilled oyster , homemade sausage , shripm&duck dumplings ..

The food was delcious! Everything we tried was great. We came at lunch and it was practically empty. Service was polite.

Coming in on a Sunday? Try The South: collard greens , fried egg , and pork belly on a bun . Also the musubi bibimbap (not pictured)!

Outstanding drinks and creative food. Both raw and cooked tapas style dishes are great. Octopus was particularly good. Service still a little spotty.

The bbq wings , street corn , and octopus were quite delicious and offered an interesting take on traditional Japanese dishes .

Try the Korean chicken wings and the grilled octopus . From the raw menu: scallops with strawberries , snapper , and ceviche .

Went for $5 Ramen ! Very good! Had the tonkotsu Ramen , highly recommended!

Avoid the wait, find a seat at the bar , and get Noah as your bartender . He knows his stuff and is just a cool dude.

It's tapas style so bring a big group and sample as much as you can!

Come here for happy hour !

Make sure you try the street corn !

The fries have such a delicious curry sauce !

Best sashimi ever!

Fantastic service.

Not your typical Japanese place
