Izakaya Nana brings vibrant Tokyo nightlife to Queens, New York. Grab one of their seven signature cocktails, and settle in at this new immersive restaurant.
New York, NY / Izakaya Nana, a Japanese restaurant and bar, is proud to announce their grand opening this summer. Celebrating a soft opening in June, the largest izakaya in New York has already welcomed their first guests into their inventive dining concept.

Gary Lin, founder of Izakaya Nana, visited Tokyo and became inspired by the bustling yokochos (alleyways). Experiencing the intimate eats and drinks at thriving izakayas, Gary vowed to bring the Japanese alleyways back to the United States.
Izakaya Nana transports restaurant-goers to an authentic Tokyo alleyway. The interior is elaborately decorated with vibrant paper lanterns, torri gates, and a samurai sword flown directly from Japan. Parties then have their choice of over ten immaculately designed private dining rooms, some of which include: the Sauna room, Comic room, traditional style Yakitori room, Tatami room, Sakura room, DJ room, Geisha room, Ninja room, Alley room, and Ukiyo-e room.
Guests can dine on traditional tatami seating or enjoy a floor-to-ceiling collage of popular anime characters. The DJ room displays colorful neon signs and has a window that opens to the restaurant’s atrium. For a more exclusive setting, guests can request to dine in one of their secret rooms. Kimonos are available to rent or buy for a fully immersive experience.
Izakaya Nana serves a variety of Japanese fare all under one roof: from yakitori to sashimi, udon, and even vegan sushi. Their Wagyu Foie Gras Uni dish is available for a limited number of customers per day. Guests will enjoy a tender piece of wagyu layered with creamy uni and foie gras. Truffle and caviar can be added to this dish for the complete umami experience.
Izakaya Nana is both a restaurant and a creative addition to New York nightlife. With seven signature cocktails, the spacious bar mixes unique Japanese flavors. Larger parties can book the 30-person karaoke room. On weekends, the restaurant hosts a live DJ. If diners hear the sound of a large drum, it means that a fellow customer was generous enough to buy drinks for everyone in the restaurant.
An evening at Izakaya Nana offers an immersive experience of Japanese cuisine and culture. For anyone dreaming of a visit to Tokyo, skip the 12 hour flight and hop on the 7 train instead.
