New York Ichibantei 🍔

🕵️‍♀️Ichibantei might look like a cozy bar from the outside, but it’s a hidden gem for lunch! The lunch special here is surprisingly affordable and incredibly tasty. 🌟 I ordered the Nanban Chicken Don, and it was a total hit! The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with a delightful double layer of flavors from the sweet and sour sauce and the creamy tartar sauce. It’s the perfect comfort food! 🍗 🗽 I also got to try a few bites of my friend’s steak bowl, and it was so aromatic and flavorful. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the accompanying rice was just right. 🥩 🕵️‍♀️The ambiance of the place is really unique. It’s dimly lit and very quiet, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy your meal. 🗽On the day I visited, there was a big projector screening a Hayao Miyazaki film. It added a fun, unexpected touch to our lunch. 🎬 We were a group of three, and even though it was a set meal, it was perfect for sharing. The portions were generous, and everyone left satisfied. 🥢 #NewYork #HiddenGems 🕵️‍♀️
