About

About Konban NYC

Konban NYC opened its doors on West 17th Street in Chelsea, Manhattan, bringing a refined approach to the Japanese izakaya tradition. The name "konban" — meaning "tonight" or "this evening" in Japanese — reflects the restaurant's identity as a place designed for evening gathering, lingering over sake, and exploring small plates built for sharing.

The kitchen centers on katsu, the Japanese art of breading and frying meats and seafood to a shattering golden crust. Konban elevates the form with premium cuts like king tiger shrimp, pork loin, and tenderloin, paired with tonkatsu sauce, wasabi, and truffle salt. Beyond katsu, the menu ventures into otsumami (appetizers), yaki (grilled and hot plates), and in-house fresh noodles — weaving Japanese technique with global ingredients like caracara orange, sambal, and pine nut espuma.

The drinks program at Konban NYC is one of its defining features. A meticulously curated sake list spans junmai, junmai ginjo, and junmai daiginjo styles from across Japan's major brewing regions, alongside an inventive cocktail menu anchored in Japanese spirits like Roku Gin, Haku Vodka, and Toki Whisky. Weekend brunch service, offered Friday through Sunday starting at 11:30 AM, adds a Japanese tomato curry add-on to the katsu lineup, giving daytime visitors a taste of the kitchen's depth.
