MENU
Teruko’s menu highlights Chef Tadashi Ono’s devotion to traditional Japanese ingredients and Head Sushi Chef Hideaki Watanabe’s masterful Edomae-style sushi. Signature dishes—such as Smoked and Seared Kampachi with scallion and jalapeño, and Whole Dover Sole Karaage with ponzu—are followed by a full selection of nigiri, sashimi, rolls, and daily seasonal specialties sourced from Japan.
EVENTS
Located in Chelsea's basement space, the decor is anchored by a striking centerpiece, the original backbar from Hotel Okura’s famed Orchid Bar in Tokyo, which was salvaged before renovations and brought to New York. Designed with a reverence for raw materials and wabi-sabi aesthetics, the restaurant’s interiors feature antique limestone floors, salvaged wood walls, and panels of indigo-dyed denim.
Named for Japanese-born artist Teruko Yokoi, who once lived and created formative works within the hotel,
this intimate space honors her artistic legacy.
Available day or night, equipped with a private street entrance, oyster shell backed bar from the famed Orchid Bar in Tokyo and a full sound system.
Full buyouts for 100 seated / standing, partial buyouts for 40 seated.
