Review: Best food places in NYC??

They have Kansai style okonomiyaki. You can google Donburiya Okonomiyaki and it will show up. I would also vote them for a good all around izakaya since they are open late. Hiroshima okonomiyaki you will have to wait for OKONOMI stand to re open at Japan fes or Smorgasburg. Dokodemo in East village is also pretty good for okonomiyaki.

As far as izakaya, yokocho I think fell off the map awhile ago. Many good alternatives for example Rockmeisha in west village (Kyushu style) , Sun Chan uptown (Nagoya style), old favorites RIKI in midtown east. Ushiwakamaru in Chelsea on Friday and Saturday nights hosts an izakaya pop up called Benkei. They also serve sushi late night and it’s Ushiwakamaru quality but at an affordable price ($250 omakase is now around $60-$80).
Yakitori I like O-Taisho on St. Marks. Good bang for the buck but Chikarashi Isso (financial district) is probably the best due to Kono-san leaving Torishin (Michelin Star) to collab with some awesome chefs.
I can go on for days about izakaya and Japanese food

My only issue is that if I do go to a Food Fest, okonomiyaki is not one of the top things I would.
Food isn't top notch. Service can be inconsistent. But every time I'm in the area, it's the one place without a 1 hour.

That’s odd but understandable that Yokocho doesn’t have a long wait. They used to have long wait times and even longer in their Angel Share Speakeasy. They’re probably losing to Kenka, O-Taisho, and Yakitori Taisho around the corner. Kenka is always crazy due to the vibe but their beer is watered down and kitchen....disgusting. But that’s Kenka, which translated means FIGHTING in Japanese. So their laxed attitude to NYU kids getting hammered and blacking out a their table is part of their vibe.
