    Katsu Curry
    Chris S.

    Was craving some Japanese food and ordered a Pork Katsu Curry for delivery. The curry came separate from the katsu, rice, and vegetables to keep them from getting soggy. It comes with a good amount of curry to really cover everything. The curry was light yet flavorful but not overwhelming. It had diced potatoes in it to help with the thickness. The katsu was breaded and crispy. The vegetables were also light and vinegary which was a nice palate cleanse from the umami curry. Great portion size too!

    Fried Oysters

    We ordered pork katsu curry, deep fried oysters, assorted yakitori, pork gyoza and a bowl of their deluxe ramen. The only dish that was subpar (IMO) was the gyoza; they felt more like generic, fried dumplings. The fried oysters were very tasty, second only to their deluxe ramen. Our server was friendly, but seemed to lack experience and knowledge. He forgot to let the kitchen know about one of our dishes and it did not arrive at our table until everyone in our party was done eating. Even though the Deluxe Ramen tasted very good, I felt the dish should have been warmer. The place is decked as most traditional Japanese eateries; small tables and stools + miscellaneous anime/manga trinkets.

    Ate here today after work as a substitute paraprofessional at P.S. 234 Q for lunch and dinner. I had brought and ate the Wasabi raw octopus and seaweed salad and lunch pork katsu. It was definitely really good and delicious. The service there was also attentive and pleasant. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time.

    Cozy spot for enjoying some Japanese staples and small bites. We tried the grilled yellowtail collar with rice and miso soup, crab salad, grilled rice ball, a few yakitori skewers, and a braised pork dish. Highlights were the chicken yuzu yakitori (the citrus flavor was apparent) and the yellowtail. Asparagus and bacon yakitori was fine, as was the crab salad. Braised pork was rich and tender. Service was friendly and communicative. I'd visit again if in the area.

    mochiron izakaya is cute and conveniently located. came by at 3pm on a saturday delighted to find they offer their lunch special on weekends too! i greatly appreciated the fast service and the food was presented cleanly and aesthetically. salad, gyoza, and ramen were all tasty and fresh - nothing extraordinary but a satisfying meal.

    If you are in the mood for Yakitori or small plate Japanese iszakaya then Morchiron is a good option if you happen to be in Astoria. The assorted Yakitori platter lets you try a little of everything. Just a tad over seasoned for me and perhaps too much sauce on the grilled onigri rice ball but otherwise the meat and veggies were cooked perfectly. The raw octopus salad was very refreshing and a standout dish.

    Small but friendly izakaya - I was impressed with all the anime references put around the space. There's a fair amount of dishes that can satisfy everyone without it being overwhelming. The yakitori combo along with the wasabi squid were my favorites of the night. The okinomiyaki was tasty but it was too much sauce. I wish it was dialed back or I could put it on the side so it wasn't too sweet. I enjoyed the potato croquette was nice and crunchy. I would prob skip the fried oysters next time.

    Ambiance (5/5): The setting reminds me of the izakaya scene of Japan with the themed decorations and dining area that overlooks the kitchen. There's bar side seating along the kitchen and also a back area with addition seating. The bathroom is also decorated with anime cartoon posters everywhere! I liked how this venue was not loud or too dark. Service (5/5): We came in around 8:30pm on a Sunday and seated immediately. There seems to be authenticity from the Japanese-speaking staff. They attended to us often and were very nice. Food (3/5): Lychee Hi-ball (5/5): Hardly could taste any liquor in the very forward lychee flavoring (which I loved!) Charsu Bun (3/5): The bun bread was extremely soft and warm. The chars pork was not the most tender but the sauce complemented it well. There's nice variation to the bite from the lettuce and cucumber. Kaki Fries (3/5): The inside of the breading was a moist oyster. I wish the breading had a little more flavor. It came out nice and hot that provided a nice crunch. Yakiniku Don (4/5): The beef slices were nicely marinated but not the most tender pieces. The veggies included were carrots, cbbage, onions, and pickled ginger. It tasted great on the bed of rice that soaked up all the sauce. I would have enjoyed it with more sauce. Beef Don (2/5): There was no sauce at all which result in any flavor to the dish. The beef was dry. The egg in the middle should have been prepared runny to allow the yolk to serve as a sauce/provide moisture to the dish.

    Spicy Mochiron Ramen
    Stephanie C.

    Came on a Friday around 7pm and was able to get a table without waiting. There was a very steady flow of customers coming in without too much of a wait time. Ordered the spicy mochiron ramen and I really like the wavy chewy ramen noodles and the two pieces of pork belly melts in your mouth. The soup had a tad bit too much white pepper flavor that was quite overpowering. I felt the portion was a little on the smaller side but it at least didn't make me feel overstuffed. Also ordered two skewers - chicken with pickled daikon and pork belly. Pork belly was great but the chicken one lacked flavor. Overall, would come here again for the ramen but would prob try a different flavor.

    Takoyaki
    Michael H.

    Food: Ordered the Mochiron Ramen with Spicy Paste. Very nice chicken brothed ramen, with a small kick. I am normally a pork ramen type guy, but this chicken based Ramen was very hearty and delicious. Takoyaki balls were okay. Not a bad starter. Would prefer it a little bit more fried. But they were good. Service: We came mid afternoon on a weekday. So not many customers and service was very good. Water cups at the ready when you sit down. Food came out hot, fresh and fast. Ambiance: Very small Japanese lunch spot. Not many tables. Good to come for a quick bite of Ramen. Overall pretty good. Don't know if I would come back to dine, but maybe order take out of their spicy chicken broth ramen.

    Finally made it here after walking past many times. Note: the online takeout/delivery menus don't have the yakitori, I highly suggest dining here in-person! The Miso ramen is delicious and so were the yakitori - we had the chicken thigh with scallion and the pork belly. We wished we had a bigger group so that we could order and share more! Definitely coming back here.

    My review is more for people who are looking for vegetarian friendly or halal friendly items. So please take this review with a grain of kosher salt. I couldn't comment on their more popular menu items because I couldn't eat them. It was a very cold day (15° to be exact!), and I definitely was craving some Ramen. This place has some good indoor seating. They checked my vaccination card and I was seated. Going through their Ramen options, it seemed I couldn't have a lot of the items because they were using chicken broth or most of it contained some form of chicken or pork. I went with the vegetable Ramen, which to be honest, looked like the most boring option of all of them. It was still pretty expensive ( $15 ) and there wasn't anything special in it (maybe the poached egg?). I felt like it lacked flavor. I'm personally not a fan of the poached egg either (feels like I am eating raw yolk, even though it's not really raw). The menu does feel very limiting though compared to some other Ramen places I've been to. For Vegetarian folks and people with dietary restrictions, I think you might find yourself struggling a bit here to find items to enjoy. Their alcohol menu was pretty comprehensive though, if that matters. The service was great and as some others have mentioned , the waiters are very attentive.

    Such a cute place to go in Astoria. The service was amazing. They have a great lunch menu that's every day of the week. They also have a happy hour menu. I would definitely go back again.

Even before the food arrives, the restaurant leaves a strong impression with its stunning Japanese-inspired interior. The space is beautifully designed, blending warmth and elegance in a way that feels both inviting and refined. From the soft lighting to the natural wood accents and thoughtfully arranged decor, everything about the atmosphere feels intentional. It captures the intimate charm of a traditional izakaya while still feeling modern and stylish, making it a wonderful setting for anything from a casual dinner to a more special night out. The food more than lived up to the beauty of the space. One of the first highlights was the salmon onigiri, a dish that proved how satisfying simplicity can be when it is done well. The rice was soft, fresh, and perfectly formed, holding together without feeling too compact, while the salmon added a savory richness that made each bite feel comforting and flavorful. It was balanced, delicate, and deeply satisfying in a way that made it memorable despite its simplicity. The seared salmon salad was another standout. The salmon itself was beautifully prepared, with a lightly seared exterior that gave it a subtle crispness, while the inside remained tender, buttery, and smooth. That contrast in texture made the dish especially enjoyable. Paired with the freshness of the salad, it felt light and refreshing, yet still substantial enough to feel like more than just a side dish. It was a dish that managed to feel both clean and indulgent at the same time. The grilled squid was particularly impressive and easily one of the most memorable items of the meal. Squid can often be difficult to get right, as it can become rubbery or overly chewy if even slightly overcooked, but that was absolutely not the case here. The texture was spectacular--tender, delicate, and pleasantly springy without any toughness. Each bite had a light smokiness from the grill that added depth, while the squid itself retained its natural sweetness. It was expertly prepared and showcased a level of precision that really stood out. For the main courses, both the Tonkatsu Ramen and the Black Pepper Ramen delivered distinct experiences, each with its own appeal. The Tonkatsu Ramen was deeply comforting and satisfying, with a broth that had a rich, velvety texture and a full-bodied depth that coated the palate beautifully. It felt smooth, hearty, and luxurious without being too heavy. The noodles had an ideal texture as well--firm enough to provide a satisfying bite, yet soft enough to soak up the broth and integrate perfectly into the dish. Altogether, it was a bowl that felt warming, balanced, and incredibly comforting. The Black Pepper Ramen, on the other hand, brought a bolder and more assertive flavor profile. The broth had a smooth, glossy texture, and the noodles again had a pleasing chew that gave the dish structure and substance. The black pepper added an unmistakable warmth and aromatic intensity that made the ramen stand out immediately. It was flavorful and memorable, though the pepper was slightly overwhelming at times. A bit less black pepper would have allowed the other flavors in the broth to come through more clearly and created a more balanced bowl. Even so, the ramen was still enjoyable, especially for those who appreciate strong, pepper-forward flavors. Overall, Izakaya Fuku is a restaurant that succeeds on every level. The stunning Japanese interior creates an atmosphere that feels both immersive and elegant, while the food reflects a real attention to detail in both flavor and texture. From the comforting salmon onigiri, to the fresh and beautifully prepared seared salmon salad, to the expertly grilled squid with its exceptional texture, and finally the rich and satisfying ramen dishes, every part of the meal felt carefully executed. It is a place that offers not just excellent food, but a complete dining experience, and it is well worth visiting for anyone looking for standout Japanese cuisine in New York.

As you step into the restaurant, you immediately feel a sense of formality and strictness. It's also very quiet in the restaurant, and friendly to solo diners, adding on more to the Japan-esque feel. The food is high quality here, but the portions are small, and it is pricey. I would budget to spend around $100 a person here after tip and tax, if you ignore the prices on the menu and try a variety of things. The tuna from the bone is the most famous dish here, but I was not able to get it as they sell out very fast. But I tried the sashimi and it was high quality -- just that it was not enough food for me. But that makes it more in line with portions back in Japan. They have an extensive sake list and they also have the casual cocktail options like lemon drops you would find in Tokyo. The atmosphere really transports you straight into Japan if that is something you are looking for. Expect to pay a premium for small-ish portions, but at the same time very well-made and authentic food.
