IZAKAYA SEASUN

Really liked the vibe! The atmosphere was warm, cozy, and authentic perfect for a casual night out. The food was overall great and my favorite was Boiled Pork Suzi Soup. The food portions were much bigger than that I expected which was also a plus for me. You can order from the tablet which is placed on the table so no need to wait for someone to assist you. All the staffs were very friendly and I’m looking forward to come back later!

This place was so cute! Felt like a portal into Japan, loved the decor inside especially the little pond and giant lamp up front. Even the little mascots on their logos and cups and all were so fun. They played funky Japanese tunes the whole time it was so serene. It wasnt too loud so it was easy to chat with people. For drinks we had some soju which is good as usualy, and also a highball. I got the hibiscus one and it was tasty. Didn’t really feel anything from it but had a nice flavor! For food we had the chipotle fries which were greattttt. Loved those a lot, hella crispy! Also the skewer set which was okay. The pork was good and also the tomatoes wrapped in bacon I think, those were nice. The mushrooms were fine and it also had chicken hearts which I did not expect LOL I mean I went for it and tried one, it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. I definitely want to come back and try some other food items, I know there are probably some hidden gems on the menu waiting for me

The vintage ambience makes it a great place to meet up with friends for a few drinks and some good food. Their highballs were a great way to mellow out the evening, especially the Earl Grey highball. Also enjoyed their beef tartare and sukiyaki dishes. It's not a sushi place, but their sashimi were great too. Disclaimer. I attended a preview opening so things are still getting finalized so I didn't rate the service yet. Update: Came back for follow up visit after they fully opened. The service has definitely matured. They are working on the wait times and reservation as well.

CRAZY!!!! Don’t forget to start with the FROZEN BEER! There’s usually a wait even on weekdays, so I made a reservation. I was really happy with the cute interior, friendly staff, and reasonable food prices. If you love spicy food, definitely try the ‘Spicy beef tendon with glass noodles’. The sashimi platter offers great value with generous portions. And my top pick is the beef sashimi🤤The cucumber highball is fresh and addictive.

Just hit up Seasun, Korea’s #1 izakaya now open in Midtown—and it’s so good. The space is super cozy, the decor is a whole vibe, and the food? Fire. The assorted skewers were so tender and yummy—I could’ve had 10. The sashimi was super fresh, and I’m still dreaming about the signature beef sukiyaki and snowflake marbled chunk flap sukiyaki. Premium flavors without the premium price tag. Perfect for date night or catching up with friends. This one’s def a new go-to.

Ordered 2 highballs and the beef tsukiyaki, sashimi & beef tartare, and spicy tendon dish! Everything was delicious and it was a great place to catch up with friends. The food was all super good! The highballs (yuzu and peach) were both pretty sweet though, so would recommend if you like sweet drinks.

I had an amazing experience at this new izakaya in Manhattan! The sukiyaki was absolutely incredible — rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. And the yukhoe sashimi (yuksasami) was unbelievably fresh and flavorful — easily one of the best I’ve had in the city. The atmosphere was hot but cozy — lively, stylish, and comfortable at the same time. You can tell a lot of thought went into creating both the food and the vibe. I honestly can’t wait to come back — I find myself wanting to revisit every weekend! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for authentic Japanese flavors with a great modern twist.

The atmosphere is incredibly cozy, and the food is absolutely delicious. I especially recommend the Earl Grey highball! The staff are friendly, and the service is excellent. The place is clean and well-maintained, and the food offers great quality at a reasonable price. I’d love to try everything on the menu, and it’s definitely a spot I’d recommend to my friends.

Great place for a little comfort food Izakaya style and a really really ice cold beer. If you love a little retro ambience, you'll love this spot. Service is great and they really try hard to make your experience right. Also give their flavored highballs a try too. Love me some Earl Gray highball.

This new Izakaya spot from Korea is a must visit for delicious and affordable food in Manhattan. This space is vibey and cute. You order from an iPad but the servers always came by to check in on us For food, I recommend the beef sukiyaki and wagyu beef tartare with salmon. I love that the portions are generous and easily shareable. Don't forget to order the refreshing highball cocktails!

The ambiance was so nice- this restaraunt's decor reminded me of ripndip with its cat posters and green furnishings with dim lighting. The food portions were a bit small which is why I gave it four stars. We got the seafood tteokboki and the mussels were small- the crab barely had any meat. I really liked the spicy crab cream pasta though (barely any or no crab present). The sauce was addicting and the spice packed a punch. The kimchi pancake was also good but I was craving protein since my other entrees barely had any.

I actually really liked this place. I was ready to not like it but I actually appreciated it! You order with an iPad so no weird communication issue. Frozen Orion was great on a hot day. Skewers are really good. I particularly loved the beef wrapped anoki mushroom and also the pork covered tomato. Both felt juicy, sexy, and had great flavor and balance for a skewer. Pastas were good. Greatly suggest ordering a $3 using noodle and use it to finish the spicy pasta sauce. Just throw it in the and mix and it's still soooo good

Came here on a Saturday night around 11pm and didn't have to wait. Only got to try the Wagyu beef tartare, and it was great! Definitely want to come back and try the nabes soup, which was highly recommended by my friend as the "best nabe" here.

Heard amazing things about the place so had to come try it! Made a reservation for 4 on Saturday night at 6:30pm. The ambiance was pretty cute but loud since there were a lot of tables. We ordered a few dishes and got to chowing! We ordered the beef and salmon tartare, fried chicken wings, assorted skewers and pork jowl/beef tendon. This was done all through the tablet. The food didn't take long to arrive. The pork jowl/beef tendon dish is cooked in a pot with vegetables in front of you by the staff. They come back every so often until it's ready. This was pretty good and flavorful with some soup over rice. I think for us, the star was the beef and salmon tartare. The beef was so flavorful with the egg yolk and the salmon was just so soft and buttery. We only got 4 dishes but definitely want to try the rest

Really enjoyed the izakaya vibe here. The decor was super cool and full of little details, you can tell they put a lot of thought into it. Once we were seated, the server gave us a quick rundown on how to order with the iPad, which was super easy to use. We ordered the pork jowl and beef tendon hotpot, the beef tartare with salmon, some assorted skewers, and the fried chicken. The tartare and salmon was easily my favorite. The salmon was super fresh and melted in your mouth, and the tartare was nicely marinated. The hotpot broth was amazing -- rich, comforting, and full of flavor. First time trying pork jowl in a broth, and it was surprisingly delicious. Didn't expect much from the fried chicken, but it turned out to be really crispy and juicy. The skewers were decent, though nothing standout. We also had a couple of highballs, but they were on the weak side. Overall, great experience -- definitely coming back to try more from the menu!

Izakaya Seasun has the vibes and the food for any casual night out with friends or even a date! The decor is cute with unique wallpaper and the cat remains consistent throughout! The restaurant is pretty spacious and they can accommodate a variety of party sizes! They other reservation system through Yelp so it makes it pretty easy to reserve. I really enjoyed everything we ordered but the spicy noodle dish with chicken was sooo good! It definitely has a kick but it's so addicting! I couldn't stop eating it. But the sukiyaki hot pot, being a little sweet, helped balance everything together. The skewers were good to get a variety of things while drinking! The staff was also really fun and cleared things away pretty quickly but never pressured us. You order everything on the tablet so the kitchen and staff do receive your order and bring it to you accordingly! The menus are also in English or in Korean!

This place was pretty solid and the food was very good. It was a hotpot style sukiyaki with beef and sorted vegetables. We also got the tartare with sashimi that we were able to have with nori. What made our experience a bit questionable though was the staff being a bit hard to reach and forgetful when we asked for more ice and more water. And we also added some extra sauces to our order but they said the sauces came with our order and canceled it without asking if we meant to order more sauce. I thought that was overall a bit weird but the food nonetheless is a great social spot to go to with your friends

Came here after seeing the reel on Instagram and one of our friends recommended it. We made reservations and got seated right away. You order everything on the tablet and personally would have preferred for the tablet to be little more mobile since its fixed booth seating it's not the easiest for everyone to see the menu. Salmon and beef tartare 4/5 - probably the best dish we tried tonight and we ordered quiet a few dishes. However it would have been nicer if they offer a bit more seaweed for the tartare. We asked for more and the waiter forgot it and by the time we reminded him and it came the dish was almost done. Spicy crab meat pasta- 3/5 -as you can see from the pictures its just imitation crab meat (kani) it definitely has a kick to it and if you can't handle spicy I would skip this. It's a spicy creamy dish and I can't quit place what gives it the kick Sukiyaki- 3.5/5 - it looks like a big portion but it's actually very little meat sitting on top of a giant bed of bean sprout. The first sukiyaki they brought out to us was literally all fat, we asked for them to replace it and the waiter had to ask the manager if that was doable and luckily they said okay cause my friend who came previously showed a picture of the sukiyaki she got last time and there was actually meat on it as opposed to all fat. The broth is sweet however for the price I wish they would have included a second layer of meat. Skewers- 3/5 honestly these were only okay for me. I've definitely had better skewers at a more affordable price anywhere else I wasn't a fan of the options that was offered in the skewers either. Egg takoyaki - 3/5 liked the concept but again it was just only okay for me it taste exactly how it sounds takoyaki on a bed of egg. Nothing to write home about, could have used a little more mayo and takoyaki sauce. I found it a bit bland. The pitcher for the drinks was TINY! It tasted good and had a bit of jelly inside but everyone will probably only get 4 small shot cups each (table of four) Everything was only okay for me, I would come back but I'm also in no rush to and only one dish stood out for me.o

Came with a group of 4 people. Best to make a reservation beforehand. The food was good, but not outstanding. We ordered a lot of dishes to share for the table. I thought the wagyu tartare tasted the best out of everything. Assorted skewers were tasty too. But the sukiyaki hotpot was a bit of a let down. There was a thin layer of fatty beef laying on top of a huge bed of bean sprouts. And there were also tofu, enoki mushrooms and other veggies. I love veggies, but the ratio of meat to veggies was just too off. So little meat! Also the spicy cream crab pasta was also disappointing since they used imitation crab meat for a $17 dish. There was so much buzz about this place, I was excited to try it. But I wasn't amazed. Maybe my expectations were too high coming here.

Tried this viral new izakaya for the first time! We got there without a reservation on a Friday afternoon around 5:30pm and was able to get in quick without much wait. The vibe is nice and chill with cute decor. We were able to order from a tablet attached to the wall and it was convenient as we didn't have to wait for the waiter and could see photos of what we would be ordering. The food was delicious though the portions were small. We got the spicy crab cream pasta, pork jowl and beef tendon hotpot and wagyu sashimi and yookhwe. The only downside is we felt rushed to finish and leave the restaurant (around 50min into our meal) as multiple people came to clear out our plates even though we were still working on our dishes.

Went for dinner with coworkers. We had a reservation at 5pm for 5 people. When we got there, there were a few people waiting. They checked our IDs before we sat down. One of my coworkers couldn't find their wallet so they said we can't order shareable drinks and can only order individual drinks like highballs. Once seated, my coworker found his wallet and showed them his NY ID (he doesn't have a DL) and they said they can't accept it and instead was able to accept his employment ID card which was odd. That whole experience threw us off. We ended up ordering few dishes and sharing it. Our favorite was the fried chicken wings and spicy beef tendon with glass noodles. The design of the restaurant was like an old school Korean pub which was nice, but overall, the food was good but the service, in terms of the whole ID ordeal could've been handled better. Otherwise, they're very quick to bring out the drinks.

As soon as you walk in, you're welcomed with that Japanese izakaya ambiance with Japanese city pop playing. There's a tablet to see the menu, order food, and ask for any extra services if you need. The utensils and napkins are attached in a drawer on the side of the table like they do in Korea! Great service, food comes out pretty fast, and the portions are bigger than they look! Food was decent, nothing out of the blue that I would have to come back here for, but I would save this spot to come with friends. Ran into so many people while dining here!!

Izakaya Seasun is a new restaurant that I've heard many good things about. I had to get the beef sukiyaki (one of their popular dishes) so we did and it was delicious. The sweet potato fries were also surprisingly one of my favorite appetizers/sides- the sauce that came with it complemented the crispy fries well. I wish I could give this place a 4.5/5 rather than a 4. Service was quick and friendly as well, with our waiter offering an explanation of the ordering system and utensils in the table drawer.

I saw this restaurant was recommended a couple times on TikTok so I was excited to try! We got the beef sukiyaki, sashimi platter, and the takoyaki. I'd skip the takoyaki but the other dishes were good. The sukiyaki is definitely on the smaller side so we had to order extra meat and veggies (for three people). I liked how you can order at the table instead of trying to flag down the servers. Giving it three stars because we made a reservation for 7:30 but weren't seated until 8:05pm even though the entire party was there.

Starting off with the service, it was absolutely crap. You order from a tablet and the server half assed served us. Cooked half the meal and then left everything overcook. If we wanted to cook we would eat at home. We ordered quite a few dishes and a dessert which you would assume it would come last. No it came out 2nd? When asked if they could put it in the freezer or something, the waiter said there wasn't one?! Honestly kind of confused but we accepted it and just ate our oreo bingsoo in the beginning. The service was bad but we still had hope for the food because TikTok recommended this place and sadly it was also crap. The spicy crab cream pasta was spicy AF and usually the group can handle some spice but my god it burned. Beef taretare & salmon was eh. Snowflake marbled chuck flap sukiyaki was good I guess. It was 90% bean sprout. Rose chicken pasta was too cheesy for me. Whole chicken noodle soup was fine until the noodles were overcooked because the server disappeared. Again if they can't provide the service just say so and the customers will cook.

I think this place is cute and interesting. I liked it but I did not love it. Food is decent but nothing changed my life. My friends and I joked that they seemed confused about their identity - Japanese spot with korean food and chinese buffet decor in the front. I will say that their sukiyaki was delicious !! We ordered multiple rounds of it because it was quite good. The seafood was average at best, I did not think it tasted very fresh. This place is also extremely ipad heavy to the point that you have to order to get your table bussed. You will not get service unless you order your specific request on the ipad. I will say, though, that i was impressed at how much coverage they had in terms of the requests all being options. All in all, worth a try. I also recommend coming here as a pair. I found that a lot of their food portions were good for 2 people but our party was a group of 6 and the options for food here were not designed for large groups in mind. As an FYI, They are EXTREMELY strict about IDs so be prepared. We are all well over our 30s and even with a photo of the ID, we were not allowed to order shared drinks because my friend forgot his physical ID. If you are wanting drinks, make sure to bring your ID!

I've been to the original location in Seoul, so I had to check out the NY location when they opened here. Vibes were great-- perfect for date night or a good night with friends. - Tteokbokki: 9/10 (you can really taste the seafood in the Tteokbokki. The Tteokbokki was slightly too soft for my liking thigh) - Oden soup: 8/10 (there was a lotttt of oden in there! It was a bit on the salty side so we had to pour water to dilute the broth.) Service was ok, but I felt like they were trying to hurry us out when it hadn't been too long since we've been seated.

Just hit up Seasun, Korea's #1 izakaya now open in Midtown--and it's so good. The space is super cozy, the decor is a whole vibe, and the food? Fire. The assorted skewers were so tender and yummy--I could've had 10. The sashimi was super fresh, and I'm still dreaming about the signature beef sukiyaki and snowflake marbled chunk flap sukiyaki. Premium flavors without the premium price tag. Perfect for date night or catching up with friends. This one's def a new go-to.

Food: The food was good here but definitely not anything special or worth coming here for. We tried the assorted sashimi platter, beef tartare, marbled beef hot pot, and pork jowl and beef tendon hot pot. My favorite was the assorted sashimi platter because the fish was very fresh. The platter included salmon, sea bream, hamachi, and wagyu beef. The beef tartare was good, but I've had better beef tartare in other places. The two hot pots were very average and nothing memorable. The marbled beef hot pot was cooked in a thick broth/sauce that was too sweet. The beef was also tough and didn't seem like the best quality. The portions of the pots were also very small. We ordered four dishes for four people, and we weren't that full at the end of the meal. We were excited to try this place but definitely won't be returning. I would recommend spending your money elsewhere. Service: There's a tablet at each table to place your order. They also have a "call staff" feature if you need anything throughout the meal. When we used this button, it worked sometimes and didn't at others. We used the table to ask for extra soy sauce and wasabi, but it never came. Service was average and not consistent. As the server was cutting our meat and preparing the hot pot for us, she dropped a piece of meat on the table and had to throw it away. This was a bit disappointing because the portion was already small as is, and she didn't bother replacing what she dropped and wasted. Ambiance: The place is kept dark with loud music, but the seating is spacious and comfortable. There are several tables for different size groups. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place and won't be returning.

Came with a reservation and at check in they ask if the table is getting alcohol to check IDs before being seated. At the tables, the utensils are in a drawer underneath the table and ordering is on a tablet on the table. They give you complimentary snack to munch on as you wait for your food. We ordered: - the assorted sashimi: nothing out of the ordinary came with a selection of fish and waygu, sesame oil and soy sauce dip. - snowflake marbled chuck flap sukiyaki: this is cooked at the table on a pot, thought the soup was sweet and the meat was good. - spicy cream crab pasta: I really liked this, however the portion is really small and looked like a salad when it came out. It was a bit spicy. - wagyu beef tartare: mixed with a raw yolk and came with a side of fried nori to eat with. Tasted pretty fresh and texture was nice. - assorted skewers: 2 chicken wings, pork belly, wrapped tomato, chicken heart, mushroom, wrapped mushroom of a sort? Overall ambiance is nice and food was good.

I came here for dinner service on a Sunday and was fortunately able to get a spot (thank you to the host for being so kind!). The interior of the restaurant is casual, relaxing, and there's great decor. After you're seated, you're given some complimentary snacks and there's a menu on the iPad where you order your food and drinks. I ended up getting their beef sukiyaki, their beef tartare and sashimi, their crab pasta, skewers, melons, and sake. The beef sukiyaki came with lots of beef and veggies and was super comforting to eat. The beef tartare and sashimi were delicious and I loved how it came with wasabi to enjoy it with as well as nori (if I were to come back though, I would just order the tartare as I liked it more. But! I loved how you could try both with this dish). The crab pasta was underwhelming and came with imitation crab, I wouldn't order this again. Their skewers were pretty solid, but I wish there was more beef. And, their melons were sweet and a good way to end the meal. Great new Japanese spot located in Midtown!

***10/10 Recommend, Make a Reservation, Delicious*** I came here on a weekday and was able to make reservations day of for a 7:30 PM. It was completely packed and we did get seated a little later than our reservation. However, the service was great and it was super easy to order through the tablet. Occasionally, our server would stop by just to check how we were doing. The portions were good to share with two people, and we were definitely stuffed by the end of the meal. It was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend checking this place out.

Such a cute space with interesting set up. You order from an iPad attached to your table and the wait staff brings the food and drinks. Came without reservation on a Thursday ~7 and my friend and I were seated with no wait. The octopus appetizer was so good - I'm a huge texture person so this scratched that itch

This place was so cute! Felt like a portal into Japan, loved the decor inside especially the little pond and giant lamp up front. Even the little mascots on their logos and cups and all were so fun. They played funky Japanese tunes the whole time it was so serene. It wasnt too loud so it was easy to chat with people. For drinks we had some soju which is good as usualy, and also a highball. I got the hibiscus one and it was tasty. Didn't really feel anything from it but had a nice flavor! For food we had the chipotle fries which were greattttt. Loved those a lot, hella crispy! Also the skewer set which was okay. The pork was good and also the tomatoes wrapped in bacon I think, those were nice. The mushrooms were fine and it also had chicken hearts which I did not expect LOL I mean I went for it and tried one, it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. I definitely want to come back and try some other food items, I know there are probably some hidden gems on the menu waiting for me

Izakaya Seasun is pretty good though a little pricey. Came as a group of 4 with a reservation and got seated quickly. Otherwise I think the wait was 2 hours? We got the Beef Snowflake, Salmon + Beef Tartare, Crab Pasta, and Spicy Tendon. Favorite dishes were the Tartare (super fresh) and Crab Past (pretty spicy). I thought the Spicy Tendon was pretty good too but definitely get an order of rice to eat on the side. The Beef Snowflake was a bit disappointing as the beef was pretty chewy and not tender. Portions are a little small so the restaurant is pricey, but overall we enjoyed our dinner here.

Came on a weekday evening and the wait was a little over a hour for a party of 2. Servers were sweet and attentive, ambience was dark and vibes were good. I'd say the booths for parties of 2 are a bit of a squeeze, especially by the bathroom. The food was okay here. We started off with the spicy crab pasta (our favorite dish) and upon seeing the portion size (literally 3-4 bites) we added a dish. The sashimi tasted fresh but was sliced thinner than I expected. Overall, good to experience but would not return.

We didn't know that you could make reservations on Yelp so we showed up at 5pm for a table but they were fully booked. The hostess was accommodating and told us to come back at 7pm for a table. We were able to get a table then. The ambiance and decor inside is cute. It's on the dark and intimate side. A good mix of small and large tables. Service is very attentive. You order everything on an iPad at the table. The sashimi was fresh and we enjoyed it. The pasta was also really flavorful, maybe a tad too salty. Pancake was delicious as well. There were so many takoyakis in one order that we had to take it to go. There's not a lot of octopus in them though. I'd say it's mostly batter. This is a nice spot to hang out with friends. It's pricier than your typical izakaya but I'd say the quality of the food is also better. We didn't feel rushed at the table either and enjoyed our time overall.

Saw this place online & decided to give it a go! The interior was cute, v cozy vibes and loved the space. The service was good & the staff were okay (not that attentive, but when flagged down they were nice). In terms of the food, my friend and I shared the beef sukiyaki & assorted skewers. First off the sukiyaki itself was flavorful for sure, but I felt like they skimped out on ingredients and it wasn't too much included. Overall, the taste felt good but average. The skewers were also pretty average I'd say. Nothing special, I feel like they could've chosen better options for the assortment. I didn't like the chicken heart. Overall, the food was average, and everything was fine~

I thought the Tteokbokki was pretty good. I'd personally skip the beef tar tar. The salmon part was good but the beef tartar just came with kind of a weird sauce and it was hard to finish. Even still I've still had fresher salmon. The pastas were both creamy and good and kind of taste like what they look like. The shrimp also just tastes kind of how it looks but there's a piece of mochi inside, would honestly skip. The portion sizes are all kind of small in my opinion so i'd recommend coming in a group to try more dishes!! Even though I didn't think it was anything too special there's more dishes i want to try so i'd still come back. The ambiance was amazing, the place is super well decorated. The service is really fast and they give you iPads to order which I find more convenient.

Came for lunch with a friend.! Had to make a reservation cause it was a packed during the week. Yummy food and we ordered our food and drinks via an iPad. Decor was lovely

Good service and vibe here .. the food is interesting and big portion. Come to check it out :)

My expectations for this place may have been too high (due to the hype on social media) cause I left disappointed and underwhelmed. There was nothing inherently wrong with this place (decor was cute, staff was friendly, and food was good) but nothing blew me away. I like how you order on a tablet so you don't have to flag down a server. However, we couldn't figure out if you could remove the tablet or not so we were all hunching over the person next to the tablet...very uncomfortable. There also aren't as many options as other izakaya places. Prices looked reasonable at first but we ended up spending $180 for 4 people and I wasn't even that full. Overall, cute place to gather with friends and try something new but definitely won't be a top izakaya place for me.

Izakaya SEASUN recently opened up, a premium izakaya brand and franchise from SK. REAL TALK: LOVE their logos and cute drawings! Their menu includes sashimi, hot pot, fried and stir-fry items (such as jjapaghetti with egg & cheese, purple sweet potato fries, fish katsu, etc.), and a 'special menu' (which includes shrimp cheese fondue, spicy beef tendon with glass noodles, seafood cheese tteokbokki, and wagyu beef tartare and sashimi). We ordered: +the Sukiyaki Plate +the Spicy Cream Crab Pasta +the Seafood Cheese Tteokbokki +the Jjapaghetti with egg & cheese +Fish Katsu +and, skewers Staff were friendly and kind! The place has a dark, relaxing vibe, and I loved the exposed brick and the decorations! A fun place to stop by when you're in the area. +tasty bites +friendly service

After seeing this spot go viral on social media for finally making it's way to the states from Korea, I was excited to try it out for myself. I thought this spot was solid but not outstanding. A bit similar to some of the other reviews, the identity of the restaurant seemed confusing and the food was pretty hyped up but did not really stand out much in my opinion. I loved the way to displayed their food with the clever plating styles and all but the quality of the food did not meet that same level of excitement unfortunately. I did however enjoy the sukiyaki quite a bit. I thought the broth was nice, albeit slightly too sweet. The crab pasta was most disappointing. It did not specify that it would be just kani and so I thought it was a bit misleading to call it a crab pasta when it was only imitation meat. The prices of the items are quite high but typical for Manhattan and this place was more of a miss than a hit for me personally. Though the theme was izakaya, it felt that there was a lot going on all at the same time without the expected quality being delivered. They surely make for great photos for social media.

Amazing food! Great for large group and the wait staff were all sooooo helpful! Will definitely come back!

I love it!!!! Don't forget to start with the FROZEN BEER! There's usually a wait even on weekdays, so I made a reservation. I was really happy with the cute interior, friendly staff, and reasonable food prices. If you love spicy food, definitely try the 'Spicy beef tendon with glass noodles'. The sashimi platter offers great value with generous portions. And my top pick is the beef sashimiThe cucumber highball is fresh and addictive.

I went here for a late night bite with friends visiting the city. I thought the ambience was really fun and the food was pretty decent. The sashimi could have been more fresh but the soju cocktail was yummy and fun. The hot pot dishes were good too.

Went for late dinner on a Wednesday and there was still a lot of people waiting! Service was great and all the workers were very friendly. Love the vibes inside and well decorated all around the restaurant. Food was very good. Highly recommend the spicy cream crab pasta!

All the dish is amazing. Nothing disappointed me. Service is not bad. Beef sukiyaki hot pot is a must try. The spicy pasta too. I had the pork one, not sure if the limitation crab one is similar. The taco wasabi, I think is raw octopus, very fresh, I don't really eat raw but I like it.

We got the wagyu beef tartare, the intestine hotpot, and the assorted skewers. Prices were high (but not terrible) and we had a good time. The ambiance was nice (what you would think of a Korean izayaka) and the customer service was good (though you do order on an iPad anyways and all the utensils/napkins are in a drawer at the table). Would recommend (though not somewhere I would go to again and again)

I love this spot~ food was amazing, service was on par, and the ambiance was really different and unique. I think I've been there almost five times already. Sadly only complaint I would have is they are crazy busy on weekends so try going on a weekday ~

This is my fifth time here in less than a month. Living in NY for over 25 years, I've been looking for the best Izakaya in the city, and this is the place. I can confidently say that I've been to more than half of the Izakaya's in the city and Brooklyn. Their wagyu beef sashimi is a must try. They have frozen beer, can't find that in many places around here. Get the beef sukiyaki and you won't regret it. I'm sure I won't have anyone disagreeing with my review after actually trying the place. Lastly, haven't mentioned it yet but the service was top tier. Thank you guys for the experience.

- Omg everything was so delicious!! We took our chances without a reservation and came a half hour after they opened and luckily we were seated right away. (Their online reservation system still wasn't up and running when we visited at the end of March) - As soon as you enter the restaurant, you're immediately transported. The interior design, banker lights at each table and the cute cat motif really set the mood. - Our waiter came as soon as we sat down to walk us through how to use the iPad, where you can scroll through the menu, see pictures of each dish and order directly. - For drinks, we ordered the lemon and hibiscus highball. We also got the beef sukiyaki (soyu), sliced raw salmon with cream cheese and the beef plate sukiyaki. I cannot stress how delicious each dish was especially the beef sukiyaki (soyu)!! I will most definitely be returning to get the beef sukiyaki again and to try some of their other dishes as everything looks so yummy!!

Came here for dinner last night! Great energy, great vibe and perfect for a casual get together with friends and family!

Had the best time with my friends grabbing dinner here! The service was quick and the servers were all so kind! Shoutout to Minhee and Ben for assisting us with all of our needs! They also gave us the cutest dessert at the end and my friends and I loved it! The decor was beautiful as well!

We were a party of 4 and ordered 6 different plates from the menu with a $300 bill and were still hungry when we left. The vibes were good, the servers were super sweet and the food was good but the portion to price ratio is crazy. There was a long wait on the food and seeing the portions after waiting for a while was so disappointing, they were really nice and gave us a bottle of soju and diet coke on the house for the long wait (we did not complain about the wait btw they apologized on their own).

make a reservation before you go! we had a great time here -- the food was excellent. ordering was done through an ipad, which was super easy, but it was placed on one end of the table so not everyone could see the menu easily (especially in a group). we got the beef sukiyaki, beef tartare with salmon sashimi, jjapaghetti with egg and cheese, assorted skewers, takoyaki, cream crab pasta, and some highballs (peach, hibiscus, and blue hawaii). the peach highball was definitely the best. everything was really good, but portions were on the smaller side (as expected for an izakaya) and a bit pricey for what you get. we were a party of 6 and still a little hungry after. the place is fun and lively -- loud music, people chatting, birthday celebrations, the whole vibe. probably not ideal for a first date, but great for hanging out with friends. i called to make a reservation a week in advance, but as of april 11 they have an online system on yelp now. definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time to skip the long wait!
