Private dining & group events in the East Village

Ichibantei is an intimate Japanese restaurant at 100 3rd Ave in the East Village, a short walk from Union Square, open late every night until 3 AM. Our upstairs floor offers semi-private dining for group dinners, celebrations and private events — and can be reserved exclusively when you want the whole space to yourselves.

Planning a standing party instead? Studio Hundred, our third-floor event space, hosts up to 130 guests with an open bar and stays open until 4 AM.

The space

  • Semi-private dining: up to 25 seated guests on our second floor, a 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.
  • Private buyout: reserve the entire upstairs floor for a fully private experience — ideal for parties of about 20 or more.

We don’t have a separate enclosed private room. Instead, the upstairs floor gives you a semi-private setting for smaller groups, or a completely private one when you buy it out.

Private dining in the East Village

Whether it’s a birthday dinner for 15, a team dinner for 30 or a full-restaurant celebration, our space is set up for groups: a prix-fixe Japanese menu served to the whole table, drinks from our bar, and a team that handles the details. We’re located on 3rd Ave in the East Village, close to Union Square, Astor Place and St. Marks.

Menus & pricing

Group bookings 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: donburi, katsu, curry and teishoku sets, with vegan and vegetarian options available on request. A full upstairs buyout is available for larger groups — share your headcount and occasion and we’ll put together a quote and recommend the right course.
