Types of corporate & team dinners
- Team outing / department dinner – a relaxed, social meal to celebrate a milestone or just connect

- Company celebration – year-end parties, project wins, and team milestones
- Private buyout – reserve the upstairs floor for a fully private company event
What makes a good corporate dinner venue
For work dinners, look for a central location with easy transit (we’re at 100 3rd Ave, near Union Square), a private or semi-private space for conversation, and a set menu that simplifies billing and dietary planning. Course menus also keep the evening on schedule — helpful for a weeknight team dinner.
How it works at Ichibantei
We host corporate groups of 11–50 in a reserved upstairs room, with prix-fixe courses from $60 per person (premium up to about $125+) or à la carte with a $50 per-guest minimum. For larger functions, ask about a full-floor buyout. See our corporate dinner and corporate event space pages, or our guides to planning a private event and group menus.
