The Izakaya is located on the subterranean level of Momotaro. The Izakaya and its shared-plates pub-inspired menu echoes the Yokocho street scene of Tokyo. Narrow lounge-inspired ‘alleys’ around a central bar bedecked with hand-painted Japanese menus, moody neon lights, and vintage Tokyo street signs set the scene for the Izakaya’s direct nod to Tokyo’s most famous post-war black markets. Dark, energetic, and ripe with expectation, the Izakaya additionally offers a 30-seat bar featuring crafted cocktails, sakes, and a quality selection of Japanese whiskeys. Parties and programming are no strangers to the Izakaya, where a rotating selection of events, including Monday Night Karaoke, feel right at home in this lively lower-level atmosphere.

Dinner was phenomenal. The burger is one of the best in the city and definitely the best in Fulton Market. The other dishes are equally amazing and the staff is very friendly and attentive.

Received quite a bit of push back before accepting my service dog, far more than the hundreds of other restaurants that readily accommodated her
The Izakaya at MomotaroGereageerd op 9 januari 2025
Hi Mitchell, Thank you for your feedback and for bringing your service dog to our establishment. We understand how important it is to feel welcomed & accommodated.

While this may feel different from other venues, please know that our intention is to provide a secure & comfortable environment for everyone. We truly value your visit & appreciate your understanding of the measures we take to balance accessibility with the unique characteristics of our space.

The Izakaya at MomotaroGereageerd op 9 januari 2025
Zach, Wow, thank you so much for the amazing review! 🎉 We’re thrilled you loved the décor (we like to think of it as part of the vibe!) and had such a great time with our team. Hearing that every dish was a hit? That’s music to our ears! 🎶 And YES, the burger and lamb are total knockouts—so glad they made your highlight reel! 🥊🍔🐑 Come back soon for another round—we’ll have your favorites (and maybe a new hit or two) waiting for you!

the A5 wagyu rib dish was amazing, i forgot the name of it
The Izakaya at MomotaroReageerde 5 dagen geleden
Thank you so much! 😊 We're thrilled you loved the A5 Wagyu rib dish—it’s definitely a standout! It sounds like you might be talking about our Pirikara Gyu, one of our favorites too. 🥩✨ We’d love to welcome you back anytime to enjoy it again (and this time, we’ll help you remember the name)! 😉 Kanpai, Merissa White General Manager Momotaro & The Izakaya

This whole set up is just a scam to get money… The room is way too small for as many people as they admitted… Less than a quarter of people were able actually have a chair and sit… Everyone else was standing room only, with no tables to put food or drinks on, etc. This, despite the fact that the reservation says “table for 2 “. The food was awful… The yellowtail maybe hadn’t turned? But was close… Salmon and sushi and a variety of three or four different subpar Maki rolls? I could get most of this quality at the grocery store. The bartenders were working really hard to keep up with everybody, but there weren’t enough of them. I would not do this again… Whoever the event designer was for this needs to rethink the set up… Either don’t have as many people admitted, or actually use the room and have multiple food stations so that you don’t have 100 people in line for one small buffet room that takes 30 minutes + to get through. Why not actually have people walking around with trays of food or set up two different food stations on either side of the room?. Crazy.
The Izakaya at MomotaroGereageerd op 4 januari 2025
We’re deeply sorry your experience at our event was so disappointing. Overcrowding, limited seating, and the quality of the food should never have detracted from your evening, and we regret falling short in these areas. The confusion around reservations and the long buffet lines are concerns we take seriously, and your suggestions, like adding food stations or tray-passed options, are incredibly helpful. Thank you for sharing your feedback—it’s clear we have improvements to make, and we hope to provide a much better experience in the future. Apologies, Merissa White General Manager Momotaro & The Izakaya
