212 Hisae's: A Lively Tapas Bar Serving Bold Asian Fusion Cuisine

The portion to price ratio is above and beyond! We all were so full for the portions we received. The drinks were NOT watered down at all. They tasted amazing. The amaretto sour was absolutely delicious. The food was full of flavor. My friend gave me one of his bbq wings and I couldn’t help but salivate lol! They were sweet and tangy. Perfection. I’ve never been so excited about a place like I am for this one. Keep in mind, once everyone at the table receives their food, the service time will be one hour. One hour at the table to finish your food and drink what you can and have ordered. This part at first sucked cause I really wanted to drink more haha but it’s understandable. When we left the line to get in was long! Come around 6pm. Not too many people and right before the rush if you can. Overall, It exceeded my expectations 100%. If you don’t come here, you are missing out on a great place to dine. I can’t wait to come back.

One of the best spots in NYC to get drinks for super cheap. The drinks are strong. I’ll be honest, they’re not the best-tasting and the food isn’t amazing, but it gets the job done. On Fridays and Saturdays you usually only get a one-hour limit for your table, and sometimes there’s a line because it gets packed. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they actually remember you if you go often. Mike, the bouncer/security, always looked out for my friends and me, and we loved him for that. Overall, it’s an excellent place to go out and have drinks on a budget. Just a heads-up: the bill already includes an 18% gratuity, so it might surprise you the first time.

212 East is such a great spot! The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — every dish feels creative and well-balanced. The cocktails are excellent, and the service is friendly and attentive without being over the top. The vibe is chic but comfortable, perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. Definitely one of those places you’ll want to come back to again and again.

I just want to say, this bar excels at everything: their VERY AFFORDABLE drinks, their food (especially the miso soup!), the atmosphere, but most of all, their staff! The people here are so kind, and you can definitely feel how much they care about their customers. This is a go-to place for me now on!

I have no complaints. Unbeatable price. Our server was FANTASTIC. He was so sweet, chill, and impressionable. Portion is JUMBO. This place is a high key throwback to college with the price and portion. The atmosphere is casual and Asian fusion. I love the vibe. The fries are absolutely fantastic and well salted. I can't wait to come back and try everything else. The drinks are totally up my alley since I love sweet and honestly a great size for what your paying for. If I had to nit pick it be that I wish they would use reusable cups and utensils... the paper waxed cup and plastic utensils is quite odd to me but very wasteful.

Love this place!! Over a week in NYC and this was the best place we visited. Great atmosphere, amazing music that gets you singing, delicious drinks/food, and above all, very friendly staff. We came here 2 nights in a row! Highly recommend for a fun and affordable place in NYC

The drinks are well priced and strong. The Moscow mule was $8 and got me properly tipsy. They also have flavoured mojitos or all sorts of basic/flavoured cocktails for $8. The music is solid. The tables only last 45 mins when they’re busy. By 10:30pm on a Saturday in March there was a 30 minute line.

Super CHEAP drinks in Manhattan! Great pregame/date spot 2 of the $6-$7 mixed drinks get me buzzed! The weeknights aren’t too packed, so feels intimate. I think there’s a wait on weekends. The food isn’t spectacular, but satisfies those drunk cravings. The Teriyaki 212 Wings surprised me. So saucy & flavorful! 21+ & ID is always checked!!!
