Ichibentai’s star dish is this truly frightening fried chicken topped with what looks like curdled cottage cheese. It’s revolting to look at but very tasty to eat.

So, eat it! And stop judging grotesque looking books by their covers!

Located in the East Village, Ichibentai is a ultra casual, high top tables and stools only kind of place with loud music and busy walls and cheap Japanese eats.

Definitely any of the fried chicken dishes are worth ordering and they go good with a beer and sake if you’re feeling frisky.
