Cozy second-story izakaya featuring dons (rice-bowl dishes), yakitori skewers, sushi and sake.
From Google Maps reviews.
Very nice spot, food was great. Atmosphere was very nice and would definitely recommend especially if you are looking to plan a date, the music isn’t too loud as it’s mostly Japanese soft pop. Nicely decorated though mostly for smaller groups as the space can be a bit tight. Got the Noodles (Hot Men and Regular Men) was very flavorful and the Hot Men was not too spicy. Got the Scorched Inari, and would recommend getting the Popcorn Karaage very soft and delicious. Drink wise would recommend t
The chiken katsudon portion was not too big. The sauce is a bit sweet (like honey mustard), not the kind of sauce I often got on Japanese food. But the yakitori (I got the beef one) was great. Perfectly grilled and seasoned. The scallion noodle was delicious, simple yet strong taste. Although more scallion would make it better I think— to emphasize on the scallion taste. Great ambience, sit next to the huge window overlooking the streets, calming yet exciting experience. Offers discount for NYU
Visited Don Neo Fusion Restaurant and it was such a cute spot. All the food tasted delicious. The staff were amazing—very friendly & attentive, which made the whole experience even better. I posted photos of what I ordered and everything was great. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to.
