Odo

“A 2 Michelin star restaurant that deserves it’s 3rd star! Chef Hiroki Odo orchestrates the most wonderful symphony of tastes I’ve ever had. All in a Zen atmosphere!! If you can try it, will not disappoint! Also the. Manu changes every month. Bravo 👏 Odo is a highly-regarded, Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant in NYC by Chef Hiroki Odo, known for its traditional kaiseki (multi-course) dining, emphasizing seasonal ingredients and precise execution, with a new, more casual "kaiseki-izakaya" concept, Odo East Village, recently opening. The original Odo offers an intimate, high-end experience, while the new East Village location blends kaiseki artistry with izakaya warmth, focusing on rice and offering a gluten-free menu.”

“My husband booked a lunch tasting at Odo to celebrate my birthday, and the experience was wonderful. The food and service were both amazing, and we also learned some new and interesting facts about kaiseki cuisine. Every course was delicious, and we truly felt it was worth the price. It was a memorable birthday lunch at Odo.”

“I’m already thinking of going back—yes! I love their attention to detail. They don’t overload the dishes with seasoning or sauces, and each course is prepared with the freshest ingredients and exceptional skill. From start to finish, the entire meal was outstanding. Their service and the thoughtful descriptions of each course were impossible to miss. They truly bring Japan to NYC. I would say they’re on their way to becoming a three-star restaurant, slowly but surely.”

“One of the best meals I’ve had. Everything was delicious, the service was fantastic, the atmosphere was relaxing.. it all made for a very lovely lunch. The staff paid very close attention to each person on the counter, ensuring we were all taken care of. The chefs were meticulously focused on the food and its presentation. The dessert was simply the best I’ve ever had. It was slightly hard to find the restaurant due to no major signage outside, but I believe that’s intentional - and the front of restaurant is a small bar, which also adds to the vibe. Will definitely return!”

“Went for the pre-fixe lunch. All 13 seats at the counter was occupied. Saw a couple of people Sitting in a back room also. Service was welcoming and all dishes were explained in great detail. All the dishes tasted fresh.”
