Holiday parties & year-end dinners in the East Village
Ichibantei is an intimate Japanese restaurant at 100 3rd Ave in the East Village, a short walk from Union Square, and open until 3 AM. Our upstairs floor is a semi-private mezzanine that suits office holiday dinners, team celebrations and year-end gatherings — and the whole restaurant can be reserved for larger parties.

Space for your party
- Seated dinner: up to 25 guests on our second floor, a semi-private mezzanine overlooking the main dining room (reached by stairs).
- Larger groups: up to 40 guests with a ground-floor buyout, and up to 65 with a full-restaurant buyout.
- Standing party: for 50 or more guests with an open bar, see Studio Hundred, our third-floor event space for up to 130 guests, open until 4 AM.
A set menu that keeps the night easy
Holiday groups of 12 or more are served from one of our two prix-fixe course menus — $60 or $75 per person — built around Japanese comfort food such as donburi, katsu, curry and teishoku sets, with vegan and vegetarian options available on request. One set menu means a predictable budget and smooth service for the whole table. Tell us your headcount and we’ll recommend the right course.
