NYC|Okatte Tanto 🏮 Cozy Hidden Izakaya
Tucked away in the city, Okatte Tanto is a classic Japanese izakaya that’s easy to miss—there’s no flashy sign, and the entrance is super low-key. Step inside, and you’ll find traditional Japanese decor, complete with high-tech touches like an electronic toilet seat! 🚽⚡ Food: 6/10 Oden: The star of the show! 🍢 Warm, comforting, and perfect for a chilly day. Highly recommend! Hot Pot: We expected sukiyaki, but it turned out to be a beef intestine nabe… and wow, was it greasy! 🍲 Though the veggies inside were sweet and tasty, the overall oil level was a bit much. Fried Pork Cutlet: Crispy on the outside, tender inside—solid choice! 🐷✨ Service: 5/10 The staff is Japanese, which adds to the authentic vibe, but don’t expect super speedy or detailed service. Also, a heads-up: the older manager doesn’t use online booking systems, so you’ll need to call for reservations. 📞 Vibe: 6/10 Cozy and unpretentious, this spot feels like a hidden local gem. It may not be fancy, but it’s got charm—and that oden is worth returning for!
