🍢 The Best Value Izakaya in New York's K-Town (2)🏮

Recommended Dishes: ❤️ 1. Various Skewers ($2-$5 each) We wanted to try a bit of everything, so we ordered a few skewers of beef, pork, and chicken. Honestly, the Japanese waiter's recitation of the dishes was amazing—I didn't understand a word! 😄 We had to guess what we were eating based on taste alone. The Wagyu beef skewer was really good—solid meat with perfect cooking. The beef tongue is a must-try, and we got the full set of chicken giblets, wings, and hearts. The vegetables were great, especially the mushrooms. 🍄 I'm not a big fan of pork, so I thought it was just okay. ❤️ 2. Eel Rice Trio ($45) The name made me think it would be eel rice with sashimi and soup, but I was overthinking it. It's just a big, hearty pot of eel. The menu says it's for two, but it's plenty for three. The portion is huge! Underneath is rice and nori, topped with a layer of egg and a thick layer of eel. Eating it in big bites is pure bliss. The "trio" refers to eating it plain, with pickles and eel dipped in wasabi soy sauce (pretending it's sushi), and finally, using the leftover rice to make tea-soaked rice. The tea-soaked rice is super refreshing and satisfying. 🍵 ❤️ 3. Grilled Oysters ($9 each) The price is a bit steep, but you have to try them! They're huge—bigger than my palm! They're incredibly fresh, juicy, and delicious! 🦪 🍃 Ambiance: The decor is super thoughtful, with lots of interesting artwork. The entrance is also great for photos! It can get a bit crowded, so it might feel a bit awkward to take pictures. It's one of the larger places in K-Town and has a lot of character. 🍀 This place is a hidden gem for group dining in K-Town. The average cost per person is around $35, and you get water, meat, and eel! I hope they can keep up the high quality. 🌟 #NewYorkEats #NYCMustTry 🌆🌿
