Excellent doesn’t even come close. Every thing I tried was among the best, if not the best I have had. Couple this with a vibrant atmosphere and exceptional service make this a place where the wait is worth it!

Of note are the following: Uni Nigiri Sushi, Black Dragon Roll, Nigiri Set (an excellent choice for the less adventurous), Tan Shio, Kani Oshixushi, and the Homemade Tiramisu.

The Homemade Tiramisu is the best I have ever had, and that was the opinion of the other 6 people in our group.

Izakaya MEW is a cozy and lively spot that’s perfect for casual Japanese comfort food in the heart of the city. The atmosphere feels authentic and energetic, making it a great place to grab dinner with friends.

We ordered the kimchi udon, okonomiyaki, and karaage. The kimchi udon was flavorful and comforting, with a nice balance of spice and savory broth. The okonomiyaki was cooked well, topped with rich sauce and plenty of flavor in every bite. The karaage was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, making it a standout dish at the table.

Overall, the food was satisfying and well-prepared, and the variety on the menu makes it easy to find something for everyone. Izakaya MEW is definitely worth visiting if you’re craving casual Japanese dishes in NYC.

My son and I had an enjoyable dinner here this past weekend. The ambiance and service was nice. We got there at 5pm on Saturday and the place was already packed. Luckily we had a reservation.
The food was delicious! We ordered Kimchi Cream udon, Katsu Don(not pictured), Kushiyaki Set and Toro Taku Crispy Rice. We loved the Kimchi cream udon!!! So good!
We’d definitely go back again next time when we’re in NYC.

A friend of mine suggested this place since he’s already been before. He made a reservation for six on a Friday night. I loved the vibes and atmosphere. Everything we ordered was fantastic. They also offer some pretty fun, mocktails, perfect since many of us do not drink. Service was fast and efficient. I would definitely come back.

Really worth the long wait. The first thing we had was the mackerel, some of the best I had. I wonder if that sauce would go well with rice. Chicken nanban is a must get. The sauce is amazing either succulent chicken. Niku tofu, really good for sharing, warms you right up, delicious. Pork Katsu was great, but my friend said the pork was dry which I thought was moist. It was incredibly loud, somewhat hard to talk but I think it makes a pretty good date place.

Delectable, fresh salmon; creamy, umami udon; crispy, fatty tonkatsu, everything we ordered was so well cooked. I can taste the effort the chef put into the food. I cannot choose a favorite dish, but the hotpot noodles we got paled in contrast to the other dishes. The comparison is unfair though because the other dishes is too good!

My friend treated me, so the food tasted even better! Treat this review with a grain of salt, because the food was free hahahahah

Came here with family and really enjoyed the food – especially the tuna tataki on crispy rice and the agedashi tofu.It was quite loud, though, so not ideal if you’re trying to have a proper catch-up conversation.

What truly impressed me was their creative cocktail menu. I especially loved the Matchaholic, it’s such a fun twist on Japanese flavors and culture.

Note: they won’t seat your party until everyone has arrived, so be sure to be on time.

Considering the price, I’d personally rate it a 4/5 – but given how expensive NYC is in general, the pricing makes sense. It is on the pricier side, but I’d still recommend trying it at least once.

the food was good! definitely will be coming back to try more things on the menu.

no windows due to basement level and the noise level is quite high even below max capacity. they do get busy and it was difficult to have a conversation without raising my voice. i wish there was some noise dampening and better acoustics in the space.

Such a special izakaya with great flavored cocktail. Really fresh and tasty. The cream kimchi udon is really good. The special menu is also great choice. The fried egg rice is normal. The sushi is also not so fresh. But overall is a good izakaya to visit.

One of the best Izakaya in the city for both quality/variety of food, and reasonable prices. Located downstairs and always packed with diners. Seasonal specials like scallop skewers and regular items tartare, mentaiko udon, crudo & basque cheesecake all top notch. It was quite loud due to the packed seating and service a bit slow.
