Dark Bullet Sake & Oyster Bar — Restaurant in New York

Went here for the first time last night during Happy Hour. Their sangria was SO yummy and only $6 until 7pm on weekdays. I think the other deals included $5 for beer and $7 for house sake, which is a great deal, but for how much the other reviews were raving about the Happy Hour, I expected more options. However, as other reviews have mentioned, the staff were very attentive and friendly.

The food options had better variety than you’d find in a typical Asian fusion place, lots of appetizers and Japanese comfort food options. We ordered the baked oysters, rock shrimp, and gyudon. Baked oysters were phenomenal and well-priced, gyudon was decent but a bit salty, and the “rock shrimp” were just awful. They were absolutely NOT rock shrimp lol. The dish had maybe 10 small boiled cocktail shrimp floating in a puddle of garlic oil, served with saltines on the side. That was the only big negative of our meal, but it was a total waste of $14.

In any case, I had a good dinner overall and would go back, but maybe just for sangria and oysters rather than...

the oysters were okay. not good enough for me to order more. i got the lychee martini and it was made well. strong and sweet. the service here is not good. i sat at the bar and i ordered an appetizer. he forgot to put it in and i was waiting for like 30 min before he realized. and the appetizer was not good. it was called healthy choice or something and it had way too much sesame sauce to be enjoyable. the worst thing is there was a drunk guy sitting not too far from me and the workers did nothing to try to make me feel more comfortable as he was talking very loud and obnoxious towards me. this is why i was annoyed that the bartender took so long with my food bc he already saw this dude was annoying me too but didn’t do much to try to see if he could do anything. as a bartender myself if i see a guest being rowdy i will let them know to tone it down or they will be asked to leave. im not sure if i would come back, there was no dish that wowed me...

We had the east coast and west coast raw oysters and the baked oysters. The baked oysters weren't as good as the reviews claimed. All I could taste was the Chipotle mayo that is served on top (the orange stuff in the photo). The veggie fried rice was TRASH, which is why you didn't see it in my photos. It tasted like steamed rice but with veggies. The spicy shrimp was pretty good, if you like garlic and the flavor of sesame oil. FYI they aren't really spicy. The highlight wS indeed the East Coast and West Coast raw oysters. The East Coast oysters were smaller in size and had a twang, which I loved. The West Coast oysters were huge in comparison to the East Coast, but also had a clean and fresh taste. I liked them very much. The EC oysters were my absolute favorite. The drinks are served strong, and the billard table costs nothing to play. Just put your name on the list. I had a great time, will go back. However only for the raw oysters, drinks...
