Osaka Grub bringing Japanese fast food to the Essex Street Market

The Essex Street Market, 120 Essex St., has a new vendor ... Osaka Grub, which serves Japanese street food, officially opens today after a practice run this past weekend.

Via the EVG inbox...

Osaka Grub’s specialty is okonomiyaki, which is a savory ‘pancake’ originating from Osaka, Japan. They offer three versions; the classic shrimp & pork, a fully vegetarian miso mushroom, and an okonomiyaki slider. The okonomiyaki slider is a Japanese-American mashup which uses two mini pancakes to sandwich a beef patty. Karaage (Japanese fried chicken) and hashimaki (okonomiyaki on a stick.

Osaka Grub’s founders are London expat David Senn and native New Yorker Diana Tam. The co-owners met in Tokyo, Japan where they lived and worked for a combined 8 years. A shared love for okonomiyaki spurred the beginning of this fast food startup. They debuted in the LIC Flea & Food in April 2015.

They will be open six days a week from Tuesday – Sunday.
