What People Are Saying About Uminoie

In Short
It's easy to miss the sign on this East Village den's unassuming glass door. An open kitchen at the center of the dimly lit, brick-lined room adds a homey atmosphere to the space. In addition to daily specials, the small menu offers home-style dishes like omelettes, kaiware salad (crabmeat and radish marinated in mayonnaise) and udon made with flying fish stock and noodles imported from the restaurant's geographical inspiration, the Japanese island of Goto.
The Details on Uminoie
What to Drink:
In the back corner stands a cabinet filled with more than 50 bottles of shochu (Japanese liquor). Buy a bottle on your first visit and the owners will keep it for you until you come again, ready for more.
Where to Sit:
Two tables offer floor cushions and a "no shoes" policy. These traditional Japanese dinner seats are in high demand, so be sure to call in advance if you're set on dining on the floor.
Dine at the Bar:
Chat with the cooks while they work at one of the five bar seats.
