The Chase empire expands to Yorkville with Kasa Moto

As if opening four restaurants (The Chase, The Chase Fish & Oyster, Colette Grand Café and Little Fin) in less than two years wasn’t enough, Chase Hospitality Group is adding one more: Kasa Moto, which will serve a menu of contemporary Japanese cuisine overseen by chefs Tsuyoshi Yoshinaga (Kingyo) and Daisuke Izutsu (Don Don Izakaya). The newest addition to the growing Chase family is slated to open this spring at the corner of Yorkville and Hazelton, where Remy’s used to be. Sticking with the “business downstairs, party up top” trend, the second floor will be home to Bar Moto, which will act as both an event space and private dining area, and there’s also a rooftop terrace—home to something called Montage for a very brief time—that’s sure to be a hit come summer.
