Share motsunabe and shabu shabu at an East Village hot pot spot on St Marks Place, with dango and sake to finish.
🍲 Motsunabe and Shabu Shabu
Kimura is an East Village hot pot specialist on Saint Marks Place, built around rich motsunabe and savory shabu shabu. For the tableside dishes, a server cooks the ingredients for you and ladles out the first bowl. Sukiyaki, Mizutaki Nabe and a pork belly hot pot round out the pots.
Beyond the broth, the kitchen prepares Mentai Mushroom Udon, takoyaki and nine-column lunch boxes, with sake and Japanese beer to drink. Reviewers single out the generous portions on the tasting menu as a strong value, along with attentive service in a cozy room that suits a group dinner. Prices stay mid-priced.
Save room for handmade Japanese dango or Hokkaido cheesecake. Kimura opens daily at noon at 31 St Marks Place and closes at half past eleven PM Sunday through Thursday, while Friday and Saturday run until 1 AM for a late pot after a night out.
