AboutLucky cat is located in Midtown NYC, a hub of Japanese business and the people. Our large beckoning cat, the symbol of Maneki Neko culture of Japan, is made and decorated for greeting y'all the welcome. The restaurant is run by chef/partner Koji KAGAWA, with the concept of "Izakaya", a sort of informal gastropub for Japanese, commonly visited after work-drinking.
