Izakaya Mew is a cozy basement-style Japanese izakaya in Midtown Manhattan that’s perfect for a quick, satisfying weekday lunch. I stopped by on a weekday lunchtime and tried the lunch menu: I had the Salmon Katsu (deep-fried marinated salmon), and my friend ordered the Omu Soba (yakisoba wrapped in an omelet)—both felt genuinely great value for the portion and quality. My total came to $19.33 with a 20% tip included, which makes Izakaya Mew an easy “repeat” spot if you want affordable Japanese comfort food around Herald Square/K-Town.
