Okonomi's Japanese Breakfast Expands to Manhattan
Briefly

Okonomi's new Manhattan location allows more diners to experience exquisite Japanese breakfasts, making it easier to enjoy traditional meals without the Williamsburg trek. The restaurant offers a variety of options, spotlighting the yakizakana set, which highlights fresh fish, side dishes, and flavorful miso soup, ensuring classic flavors are accessible to a wider audience.
Even as I eagerly anticipated trying Okonomi’s famed yakizakana breakfast set, I was struck by the vibrant atmosphere of the new location. Opening day was a success—while the restaurant can now accommodate 50 guests, it still maintains the warmth of its original Brooklyn spot, offering an inviting context for indulging in this special cuisine.
The essence of Japanese breakfast culture shines through at Okonomi, where traditional elements unite with contemporary flair. Whether opting for the simpler sansai or a more deluxe gosai set, each meal encapsulates the meticulous care in presentation and the layered depth of flavor that represents Japan’s rich culinary identity.
Yuji Ramen adds a fun twist to the morning routine with its bacon-and-egg mazemen, ensuring there's something for everyone. This pop-up brings a rare opportunity to enjoy both ramen and breakfast dishes in a single spot, broadening the traditional offerings and engaging a curious city diner with unique culinary explorations.
