Konban Review | A Limited-Time Japanese Bistro Gem 🌟🍣
Tried Konban during its exclusive July 28-Aug 1 run, and while it turned into a carb-loaded adventure, there were some real highlights! 📍 Konban NYC 🍽️ What We Ordered: • Yellowtail Crudo (4/5) – Fresh, clean, no complaints. • Branzino with Mushrooms (4.2/5) – Best dish! Silky fish + earthy mushrooms + poured-over chicken broth (just a tad salty at the end). • Truffle Rice (3/5) – Fine, but "I could make this at home" vibes. • Ochazuke (3.2/5) – Gentle tea-soaked seabass + rice (too mild after the branzino). • Pork Loin Katsu (3.9/5) – Solid, but the shio cabbage tasted like instant ramen seasoning 😂. • Corn Ice Cream (4.5/5) – SHOWSTOPPER! Crunchy chocolate shell + real corn kernels inside—not too sweet, just genius. ✨ Vibes: Moody lighting + a glowing stone courtyard (perfect for moody pics 📸). 💡 Final Take: Go for the branzino and corn dessert—skip the truffle rice unless you’re really craving carbs.
