ご案内 Visit
A grey door on West 70th.
No sign, no menu in the window. Look for the number 150 above a dark door beside a blank pane of glass, press the bell, and someone will let you in.

Attended cloakroom to the left of the entry hall. There is no room for luggage at the counter, but we will keep it behind the host stand.
お便り Write to us
Anything we have not covered.
For reservations, please book on Resy — it reaches the floor faster. Everything else lands here.
採用 Careers
We hire slowly and keep people.
Chikara runs on a team of nineteen. Most have been here since the first year. When a seat opens on the line or the floor, we would rather wait for the right person than fill it quickly.
Send a note and, if it makes sense, we will invite you to stage for an evening — paid, and with dinner afterwards.
