About this restaurant

Good for business meals
Neighborhood gem

Nestled in the heart of Midtown, WANO New York is a vibrant beacon of contemporary Japanese Izakaya culture, bringing a slice of Tokyo's spirited dining scene to the Big Apple.
At WANO, every dish tells a story, crafted with the finesse of traditional techniques and the flair of modern innovation. Our Izakaya is a celebration — of flavors that sing, of company that warms the heart, and of the Izakaya tradition that pulsates through the city's veins.

One of the best dining experiences I have had in NY. The food was so fresh. The service was beyond exceptional. The portion sizes were perfect. The servers also gifted my Fiancé and I some whiskey tastings on the house! If you manage to make it out there, ask to be served by Henry!

Food was very good but service was lacking. Our plates were brought out at separate times with significant gaps between the two of us. At the end of lunch we were the last table still there and still had to request our bill.
