So delicious!! My favorite is their katsu and the noodles. Katsu is perfectly cooked, juicy and tender. Noodle has perfect texture and it tastes great with the slightly sweet and creamy sauce. Even the complimentary appetizers and drinks were amazing!

The overall dining environment, service, and food quality all exceeded my expectations. This is a restaurant with excellent value for money ⭐️ Upon seating, we were given a complimentary tomato with cream cheese 🍅🧀, which was refreshing and appetizing—an excellent start to the meal. The corn ribs 🌽 are a must-order: crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with the corn’s natural sweetness and juiciness perfectly preserved. They’re paired with a palate-cleansing drink, making the dish feel very well balanced. My favorite dish was the sabazushi (mackerel sushi) 🍣. The portion of fish is generous, with a great balance of fat and lean meat. The richness unfolds beautifully in the mouth, while the wasabi and sauce in the middle keep it fresh and not greasy. The sushi rice is lightly sea

This place has been on my must try list for so long because it’s not that easy to get a res especially for larger groups. Overall it’s a good spot. We all agreed that the best dish was the mazemen - the noodles are super bouncy and the sauce is so flavorful. The katsus are definitely some of the better katsus I’ve had in NYC. Very clean and simple like they do it in Japan but idt they compare to the ones I’ve had in Japan still. The desserts are very unique, great to try. The cocktails are also pretty good and the vibe/ aesthetic are great. Overall I would definitely recommend this place.

My friend and I came for lunch on a Saturday noon. We were greeted and seated right away. The staff were super friendly and gave us recommendations on the menu. The mackerel sushi, sushi set, and corn were absolutely amazing! The tenderloin katsu was tasty but a little undercooked for my preference. The scallops were good, and the mazemen was okay. Oh and we absolutely loved the interior, it brought us back to Japan immediately. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back!

A Katsu That Will Change You- Konban NYC Konban NYC delivers a beautiful balance of comfort and creativity, where every dish feels both familiar and elevated. The intimate setting pairs perfectly with their modern take on Japanese-inspired small plates. To start the konban corn ribs were a fun and indulgent surprise—sweet, crunchy, and dusted with a cheesy umami powder that made it impossible to stop eating. The cucumber katsuobushi offered a nice contrast—cool, refreshing, and subtly savory thanks to the bonito flakes and kombu powder. The shishito peppers were blistered to perfection and seasoned with an umami powder that elevated the simple vegetable into something deeply satisfying. Lastly the karaage, a standout and table favorite —lightly battered and perfectly crisp, served with
