Odo East Village

Odo East Village is an intimate, izakaya-style restaurant located in New York City’s East Village. Founded by Chef Hiroki Odo, the establishment brings the refined techniques and seasonal philosophy of his two-Michelin-starred kaiseki background into a more relaxed, accessible setting. The restaurant serves as a unique culinary space where traditional Japanese flavors are reimagined through an innovative, entirely gluten-free framework.

The menu is centered on the versatility of rice, utilizing grains, flours, and fermented seasonings to create a diverse array of dishes that honor Japanese culinary traditions without the use of gluten. By focusing on high-quality, seasonal ingredients and precise preparation, the restaurant offers a sophisticated dining experience that caters to those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities without compromising on flavor or authenticity. Guests are encouraged to book reservations in advance via Resy, as the intimate space is frequently fully committed.
