Honzen in Astoria has emerged as a distinctive dining option within New York's competitive Japanese cuisine scene, offering honzen ryōri, inspired by traditional kaiseki. Diverging from the prevalent omakase trend, Honzen emphasizes a classical meal structure where customers select a protein and rice, complemented by seasonal ingredients. With dishes served on ornate trays, the restaurant provides an affordable tasting experience, with full meals costing under $75. Honzen features two dining rooms, creating an intimate and comfortable atmosphere, perfect for couples or small gatherings.
Here, customers choose a protein and rice for set meals served on ornate trays, with accouterments like tofu, seasonal pickles, and sashimi.
Honzen is separated into two rooms - a narrow front room built of chic blonde wood... and a wider back room that used to be a backyard.
