About this place
At Okanoya, the choice is between classic izakaya fried dishes and drinking snacks, or a plate of Chinese food. Visitors have singled out the crisp fried chicken skin and grilled overnight-dried squid, both well suited to a night of drinks and a few small plates. The menu also features fried chicken wings, chicken tempura with ponzu and chikuwa fish cake fritters with seaweed, so there is plenty to choose from if you want to build a meal around fried food.
Chinese dishes are another draw, with fried rice, mapo tofu, gyoza and sweet-and-sour pork among the options. Diners who tried the fried rice and mapo tofu have praised both, while another visitor wrote about enjoying gyoza, stir-fried vegetables and yakisoba. The selection works for a light meal of snacks as well as for a more substantial order of fried rice or a Chinese-style rice bowl.
Drinks include draft and bottled beer, highballs, ginger highballs and makgeolli, with options to pair with the food. The restaurant says it welcomes solo diners and groups, and reservations are available.
