The Manhattan Beef Bowl That Haunts My Dreams! 🍚🔥

Stumbled upon this amazing Japanese spot in the East Village over the weekend. Most staff are Japanese—friendly and attentive, plus they serve my beloved yuzu juice! 🇯🇵✨ 👉 Roasted Beef Don The server pointed at this and said, “This is good!” One bite confirmed it. Mix the egg, beef, and sauce together—absolute heaven. A must-order! 🥩🍳 👉 Beef Cutlet Plate A set with crispy, thin-breaded steak, veggie salad, miso soup, housemade sauce, and rice. The beef was thick, juicy, and rich like Wagyu—bursting with flavor. Paired perfectly with their special sauce and mustard. 🥢💥 👉 Takoyaki Soft, bouncy octopus balls with 2–3 pieces of tender octopus inside. Topped with okonomiyaki sauce and mayo (though missing bonito flakes—would’ve been even better!). 🐙🍘 Drink: 🍹 Yuzu Juice – bright, tart, and refreshing. 📍 J's Kitchen 261 1st Ave, New York, NY 10003 💵 ~$30 per person 🐼 Panda Delivery – 40% off! #NYCEats #JapaneseFood #EastVillage #BeefBowl #ComfortFood #NYCFoodie #HiddenGem #MatataEats #NYCDining #FlavorRush #MustTryNYC #FoodieDream
