A combination of tempura, sukiyaki, sushi and other interesting yet creative Japanese dishes. Expansive selection of rare and fine sakes. Great service and atmosphere.

The chefs counter experience at odo is very intimate with a small number of diners, direct view of the food prep, and a very kind host. Time really flies quickly.The food is very down to earth, light, and doesn’t leave you overly full. Sashimi is very good. I think most things are not heavily seasoned and you’re left to find the natural flavours of the ingredients. It’s a nice experience but I would just left wanting a bit more given the price tag and comparing to other tasting menus at this range. The non alcoholic menu is very decent.

Ryuichi Sakamoto's favorite kaiseki restaurant in New York is opened by the chef. It has two Michelin stars. Dinner with tip is about $320. It tastes good but is a bit pricey, so lunch would be a better deal. Regardless of the price, it is still a novel and exquisite fine dining experience, but considering the price, the ingredients used in this meal could be better.2023/11/24

Probably the best kaiseki in the city. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the carefully selected ingredients that formed the basis of each dish to the elegant tableware that added a touch of sophistication to our meal. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, crafted by a talented culinary team who clearly take pride in their work. The staff were also attentive and friendly. Worth a revisit and highly recommended!

The restaurant is such a great hidden gem. It’s hard to find at first since it’s hidden behind a bar. After noticing several details there I really appreciated the incredible design of the space.The counter seating is amazing with great intimacy allowing views of the chefs that prepare the food right in front of you. All of the dishes are prepared with incredible precision and the flavor combinations are simply perfect. The server for the evening was incredibly knowledgeable and the hospitality was just amazing. At the end of the meal, chef Odo even threw in a little bit of extra special treat with the left over rice for us to take home.Unfortunately, the evening was ruined by two incredibly rude diners next to us who had loud conversations and even took a phone call during meal service. Thankfully the incredible hospitality and food more than made up for it.All in all it was such an amazing experience and I would highly recommend this place! We will be back for more!

An excellent two star restaurant. The food was of the best quality and tasted excellent. All of the Kaiseki dishes were wonderful. The recommended wines/sake were all impeccable. The service was always present without being intrusive, very friendly, polite and courteous.

We went on lunch time. I had zero experience about Kaiseki. The course was very delicious. They served very fresh and seasonal produce. My Favorite was chawanmushi. It was the first one and makes me so happy. Every dish comes with details. The service was amazing. For special occasion I think $145 at lunch was perfect.

Entering via a big thick door, located inside the bar is just fun to begin with. The counter seating only ODO offers authentic, but absolutely new and challenging dishes chef owns it so well. The dishes, (I am not sure how many dishes) each one has beautiful color, dish, and decor (like flower, or gold, things like that) with very flavorful yet you taste the food itself so much, I just kept saying "omg" on every bite. My fav was the sushi they serve at the table. Dedicated chef comes in front of you and make sushi, the rice is slightly on vinegar-pushed side which I loved, fish was so fresh and presentation was beautiful. Also you get super yummy cocktail at the end with fresh fruit, that was also yummy. So everything they serve, is better than the places specializes that dish, such as cocktail, sushi, etc. Just watch out for the drinks, I drink a lot so the bill came out to $$$??!! lol but if you just eat and enjoy a bit of drinks, you know exactly what you're paying as it's set price, no surprises. FYI of course, drink menu has price listed clearly too :) @aiproductionnyc

It was a memorable foodie night. From shiro amadai to beef tongue, all were at their quality and meticulously prepared. It was not only a food adventure but also a culture one. The menus were updated once every month, and it will definitely be a revisit of this place. The service was excellent, however, there were rooms to be tidier. The kitchen counter was nice, but at times it could be a little refined. I don't have to see plastic bottles and containers under the sink. The bathroom paint needs some touch up unless it was left as by design. Small details didn't overshadow the wonderful dining experienceParking: Better take the train
