Popular Brooklyn Japanese restaurant brings fresh Japanese dining, private booth seating, birthday VIP perks, and weekday happy hour to 81 Chrystie St

NEW YORK, NY / May 23, 2026 / Osaka Fusion BBQ & Sushi 藏王居 です, a Japanese restaurant brand that first opened in Brooklyn two years ago, has expanded to Manhattan Chinatown with a new location at 81 Chrystie St, New York, NY 10002.

The brand’s original Brooklyn store, located at 1948 86th St, Brooklyn, NY, built a loyal following as a neighborhood hidden gem known for fresh ingredients, approachable pricing, and a broad selection of Japanese dishes. Over time, the restaurant became especially popular during peak dining hours, often drawing wait times from local customers. With the opening of its Manhattan location, Osaka Fusion is bringing that same dining concept to one of New York City’s busiest food neighborhoods.

Osaka Fusion’s menu is centered on variety and accessibility. Guests can choose from sashimi, sushi, sashimi donburi, yakitori, bento boxes, rice dishes, appetizers, beer, and sake, offering a format that works for casual dining, group meals, and celebrations alike. The restaurant is positioned as a Japanese dining destination that combines fresh ingredients with pricing designed to remain approachable.

The Manhattan Chinatown location also introduces a more experience-driven interior. The space features multiple private booths, creating a comfortable and semi-private dining environment for couples, families, and small groups. Each booth is named after places in Japan, adding a distinctive design element to the restaurant and reinforcing its identity.

In addition to everyday lunch and dinner service, Osaka Fusion is also promoting the new location as a destination for birthday meals and small celebrations. Guests who dine in on their birthday can receive a VIP card for 10% off for life, giving customers both a memorable birthday experience and an incentive for future visits.

The restaurant has also launched a weekday happy hour available Monday through Friday from 2 PM to 5 PM, featuring buy one, get one free beer. Osaka Fusion is open until 10 PM from Monday through Thursday and until 11 PM from Friday through Sunday, giving guests additional flexibility for afternoon and evening visits.

Osaka Fusion also offers family-friendly details designed to make the dine-in experience more welcoming, including coloring sheets for children. With its private booths, wide-ranging menu, and beverage selection, the Chinatown location is designed to serve both everyday diners and guests looking for a more celebration-friendly atmosphere.

With its expansion into Manhattan Chinatown, Osaka Fusion is building on the momentum of its Brooklyn store while introducing a new option for diners seeking fresh Japanese food, a broad menu, and a comfortable dine-in setting in downtown Manhattan. The brand is also continuing its growth in New York City, with a Times Square location coming soon.
