Description:

Last month, luxe Japanese eatery Ono got the no-no from owner Jeffrey Chodorow, who closed his Gansevoort Hotel restaurant and has now rebooted it as Tanuki Tavern. The izakaya-style spot is being billed as a Japanese pub and sushi bar, with a focus on noodles, grilled bites and small plates such as Baked Maine Lobster Dynamite heaped atop sushi rice and served with various roes, like masago and tobiko. Bouley alum Kazu Hashimoto is the chef de cuisine, and he'll also be rolling out a selection of traditional/non-traditional sashimi and sushi, along with...burgers! (Or so we're told.) The multilevel space is split into three areasincluding an upstairs loungeand decked out with lanterns and warm wood surfaces. And if you're wondering about the name, it's a kind of four-legged raccoon-dog that's a quirky part of Japanese folklorea tip-off to the restaurant's playful vibe. Here, tanuki: fetch!
