Located in the heart of New York City, at 227 Canal St, Chikarashi is a hidden gem that serves up an incredible blend of Japanese and Hawaiian flavors. From their famous Poke bowls to their mouth-watering ramen and udon, there’s something for everyone at this cozy restaurant. Whether you’re a fan of raw fish or prefer heartier dishes, Chikarashi is sure to impress.

I recently had the pleasure of indulging in the delectable Poke bowls at Chikarashi, and I must say, it was an explosion of flavors. The combination of fresh, sushi-grade fish, mixed with crunchy vegetables and served over a bed of fluffy rice, was absolutely divine. Each bite was a perfect harmony of textures and tastes that left me craving for more.

Although Chikarashi is known for its Poke bowls, I was excited to try their Japanese-inspired dishes as well. The ramen, with its rich, savory broth and springy noodles, was a comforting treat on a chilly day. Topped with tender slices of pork and boiled eggs, it was a satisfying meal that warmed my belly and my heart.

Another standout dish at Chikarashi was their udon, which was cooked to perfection. The thick, chewy noodles were served in a hot broth filled with delicious ingredients like tempura bits and green onions. It was a delightful and filling meal that showcased the restaurant’s ability to craft traditional Japanese dishes with a modern twist.

A casual, modern eatery with a clean and minimalist design. The tables are simple and unadorned, and there is no visible decor beyond a few potted plants in the background. The overall feel is relaxed and informal, suggesting that this may be a popular spot for quick meals or takeout.
