Planning a cocktail reception or a private buyout near Union Square? Ichibantei is an authentic Japanese restaurant in the East Village, available for group receptions and celebrations. Reserve our upstairs floor for a semi-private gathering, or buy out the space for a fully private event.

What We Offer

  • Semi-private or private space: Reserve the upstairs floor for a semi-private setting, or a full-floor buyout for a private event. We don’t have separate private rooms — the upstairs floor becomes your private space when booked.

  • Food: Prix-fixe group courses at $60 or $75 per person — izakaya plates, katsu curry, ramen, donburi and teishoku sets, with vegan and gluten-free options available.
  • Bar: Sake, Japanese whisky, beer, wine, highballs and shochu.
  • Open late: Kitchen and bar run until 3 AM (Mon–Sat; until 2 AM Sun) — ideal for after-parties.
