“ This authentic and casual Japanese izakaya is a staple in St. Mark's that's been around for a while. A plane ticket to Japan isn't cheap, however, Oh! Taisho is a great late night eats and drink spot, serving a huge variety of Japanese foods in NYC. The space inside is tight and loud, and the atmosphere is busy and energetic, which is an authentic izakaya experience if you ask me. The menu here is pages upon pages long that it can get overwhelming deciding what to order with the variety they offer. Great to come with a group of 4 if possible to try different foods, however most tables here are for 2. We got a whole feast during our most recent visit: teriyaki chicken, steak, okonomiyaki, takoyaki, grilled mackerel, takowasabi, unagi and egg over rice, galbi, fried rice, chicken karaage, and a lot of yakitori (meats on skewers). Late night hours and yakitori keep this Japanese joint bustling! ”
“ Came with 2 friends on a weekend for small bites and drinks. The Party Set has 30 skewers which let us try a wide variety and split it up perfectly. Ordered a fun cocktail with popsicles inside and it was very strong. No complaints though! The stand-out skewers are the Chicken Skin (crispy exterior and fatty inside) and Meatballs (tender and savory). They are so good that we ordered those two again individually, and I will note since they were individual orders, they did taste better/come out more hot naturally. ”
“ If you're a scallion fan like me, you'll love the Negi Ramen! There's a generous amount of scallions here. I love how this ramen is actually spicy; the broth hits the spot. The noodles didn't stand out to me, but they were perfectly al dente. There's not a lot of toppings in the ramen, but it's a solid, simple dish. I also ordered a Calpico Shochu Cocktail hoping it'd be just like my very favorite drink, the Calpis/Calpico Sour. The cocktail here is made just the way I like it, which is huge because half the ones I've ordered at different places (NYC izakayas, Japanese bars in Taiwan, etc.) don't make it how I like it! I was seated right by the kitchen, and this place was definitely bustling. All the dishes that came out looked amazing. My order came out quickly as well. ”
“ I remember going to Yakitori Taisho a lot back in my younger days, and while that closed down already, I'm glad this one's still open. Yakitori platter brought back so much nostalgic memories from the good old days - washed it down with some beer and it made for a perfect midnight snack. ”
