Alleyway japanese hidden gem

i’ve been seeing this spot all over my feed so I had to try it for myself! ☺️

@konban_nyc is a newly opened japanese restaurant that is hidden down an alleyway in chelsea, and it has been blowing up the internet as the best pork katsu in NYC. We had an amazing meal there, tried a bunch of really unique small plates that were very detailed in their flavor palate and plating. 🥘

personal favs were the corn rib, sabazushi sushi roll, mentaka noodles, and tenderloin katsu! everything was soo good though, and it all worked together really well together. 🌽

final verdict: the pork katsu was great (but did not blow my mind) however i LOVED the overall meal and would for sure go back. ❤️
