Great food!! This is a tiny entrance that is easy to miss but once you head down the stairs, you will see the restaurant. The service is fast and we had take out for COVID-19 reasons. The Kara age is fried chicken that is good but is not any different from any other Asian style fried chicken. The udon cream noodles are by far the best dish. So creamy and satisfying and has a nice blend of subtle flavors. Def recommend

Izakaya Mew offers outdoor seating during these times shared with Cho Dang Gol. Although it proclaims to be an izakaya restaurant, it offers a variety of nigiri and sushi roll options. The dynamite roll was fairly solid although I think you would be better off going to a dedicated sushi restaurant if that is the main course they are seeking. The yellowtail carpaccio is excellent with fresh tasting fish and a bright, apple ponzu dressing. The hamachi kamayaki is very nicely grilled while still retaining a moist, tender flesh. The takoyaki is exactly as you would expect with a crisp exterior and a tender piece of octopus inside. The entrees are primarily fusions of Korean, Japanese, and Western dishes, think Yoshoku with some Korean flavors as well. The omu soba is a play on omurice but with yakisoba as the starch, pretty good although honestly a bit much in terms of quantity. The kimchi cream udon is basically a creamy shrimp and asparagus pasta dish but with bouncy, chewy udon noodles as the pasta. Really quite tasty although it is fairly heavy on the palette and the kimchi offers much more in the way of color rather than flavor. Would definitely recommend this dish to everybody who comes here but I would recommend sharing it with another person as I think it simply becomes too creamy and homogenous to eat an entire plate of on your own. The yuzu cheesecake is a pretty nice NY style cheesecake but there isn't any taste of yuzu which I think would really help. The warabimochi and azuki on the other hand is a really great dessert with the cold, chewy warabimochi coated in kinako being a true delight. Although I wouldn't describe the food and atmosphere as being a particularly authentic izakaya experience, it was a great Japanese fusion food experience and certainly one of the better fusion restaurants in Manhattan. I recommend coming with a friend and ordering a variety of the sides and sharing the mains.
Great food & atmosphere. Ordered several small plates and they were all delicious! Sashimi dishes were fresh and tasty. Excited to come back!
Cozy, heated, and outdoor street seating setup. I highly recommend coming between 12-3pm for their lunch specials that I believe come with a soup or salad. I’ve come here a few times and fish they use is always super fresh! I wish the seating was a little more spread out but otherwise it’s a great spot and staff is nice.
It’s the most delicious Japanese cuisine. We went as a family and ate 5 different dishes and everything was exquisite. and kindness is something else.
