Lindsay COctober 21, 2015Highly recommend the assorted house made pickles, Burimaka (grilled yellowtail collar, grated daikon) and Omakase Sashimi. And, of course saké.
Justin BretonApril 19, 2014It's fun crafting your own sushi rolls with avocado, tempura, cucumber and much more. All-in-all, sushi is fantastic. Atmosphere is cool, modern. Order the lychee martini, but make it a double.
Sleek minimalism meets delicious sushi. The fish is fresh with delectable seasonal selections, but the menu overall is very expensive compared with other spots in the neighborhood.
Jon SteinbackOctober 3, 2014the omakase here is fantastic (and has less expensive tiers with fewer courses). sit at the bar and order the sake with the buffalo on the label.
Yaz MusSeptember 26, 2017Loooove the minimalist decor, it's so soothing like a spa with amazing, very legit sushi. Small servings compared to most places but quality over quantity is definitely the goal here.
Stina P.May 4, 2014everything about this restaurant is beautifully designed and presented. If you don't get the omakase, absolutely order the sesame shake, crab roll, and chicken pate to name a few.
amy pelletierMarch 18, 2017Amazing natural wines list and fantastic food. Casual bar at the front for snacks and beautiful dining room in the back. Great service and amazing food.
Ronald CattrysseMay 31, 2017Definitely not cheap for Japanese and that is actually great! It is so worth it, the food is so perfect, that I'd happily make sure it remains on this level.
Bill PearisOctober 18, 2011Hands down the best sushi in Williamsburg. By a mile. But you pay for it. Sit at the sushi bar and let Yoshida-san feed you. Or, after a show at DBA/Glasslands, get the latenight weekend ramen menu.
AmateurConciergeAugust 20, 2018Great price for good sushi and izakaya fare. Fried chicken always good. Skip the eggplant skewers and mushroom taco tho
Matty CitoMay 10, 2015Omakase. The Tasmanian salmon and mackerel are insane. Nevermind the chu toro & o toro. Add a little ball busting humor from the chef and I was in heaven
TingMay 20, 2017Sushi omakase for $50 is hard to beat. 10 pieces, high quality, good variety of fish. Highly recommend sushi counter and skipping the dining room.
Umair ZiaSeptember 28, 2014Sushi is excellent here. Any of it. The dumpling app stands out. But I tried a sweet potato shochu (Japanese liquor) on the rocks = The real winner of the night.
Czarina BehrendsApril 21, 2019Everything is tasty and great here! Spacious setting, so good for groups. Service was fabulous. Buri kama was filling and tasty.
Caroline SchulweisSeptember 3, 2014Very cool, modern atmosphere, and awesome food. Great ceviche, sushi, and sashimi!
Natalie FreilichFebruary 4, 2016come for the tastes as portions are small. The fried chicken, steak, soup, and sushi are delectable...sesame shake drink cinched the meal.
Charles BMarch 30, 2012the Omakase here is a treat. I like that they bring it all out at once instead of making it a marathon. You have to pick btw sashimi and nigiri. We did both...nigiri was better.
Leigh QuindaraMay 1, 2015I think 1 or 8's strong points are in the cooked items. The buri kama was delicious. The sushi on the other hand, was average in taste and for some reason very tiny in portion.
Nikki BogopolskayaJuly 10, 2014The dinner pre-fixe is the way to go here! $22 for 3 courses fills you right up. Supplement with a roll, if you must.
RebeccaOctober 12, 2014I like this place. Good vibes with the all white decor and the food is yummy. Lots of privacy between tables/booths.
Jane DoeMay 11, 2018🐷 bun, grilled 🐙, omakase crudo a must!!! esp. the yellowtail sushi 🍣 , and for dessert: milk & 🍯 ice cream!
Foxxy BApril 7, 2017Honestly quite pricey. Octopus is the most tender ever. Incredibly melt-in-your-mouth sashimi options (although portions are small). Chic space, small crowd.
Justin PakFebruary 20, 2016Call ahead and get a seat at the Sushi Bar for one of the best Omakase experiences in NYC.
Go for a booth and if you can swing the cash omakase it up and enjoy one of the best food experiences you can have in this country.
DannyJuly 13, 2017The drinks here are excellent and to my liking. Well balanced and perfect contrast of natural flavors.
Sunny HApril 25, 2016High quality sashimi and rolls, be sure to try the pork belly and the octopus with garlic.
Josh MateoSeptember 6, 2015The appetizers were much better than the main course. Don't skip on the Burikama. Grilled yellowtail jaw. So yummy.
Katja WesslingJuly 18, 2015Amazing dinner tea, pork belly, great sake selection, everything was amazing. Perfect sound level.
Try Kazuo's amazing horse mackerel tartare sushi--usually only at bar w/omakase, but if you ask nicely and tell them Jane and Jean-Marie sent you, you can get it at the table...
Berlin BabuSeptember 1, 2013The lamb chops are good. Sushi with mango and in it was good and the mochi with soy sauce sorbet was great
Michael OcherJuly 1, 2015great interior and delicious food and amazing spirits selection, try Satoh the sweet potato vodka
EchoDAFebruary 16, 2012For sushi fans. A little bit on the expensive side, and very elegantly designed, it's speciality is the Omakase, which means "I submit" (the che chef's will).
Maddie GruderSeptember 17, 2011Not only incredible food, but fantastic and quick service. This restaurant most certainly lived up to the standard it presented with it's pristine and gorgeous aesthetics.
Nick JordanDecember 20, 2014The red miso soup should be where you start. End up anywhere you damn well please.
amooliaFebruary 17, 2012The best sushi in Brooklyn, no doubt. I'd get the sashimi entree and red miso- the bottom half is homemade tofu! Try the croquettes!
Whiskey, omakase, yellow tail collar, late night menu, oden during the winter, ramen, sushi box
"Scared of a little fish? It's not even alive!" The adorable and impressive sushi chef says you should try the tasting menu.- Mike SingletonJune 10, 2012The chef offers a selection of snacks until 2 a.m. on the weekends including a killer ramen option that changes depending on his mood. Read more
Great sushi. The rice rivals Sushi Yasuda. Do Onakase with chef Kazu San and you won't be disappointed.
The way to go is to have Omakase at the sushi bar with Kazu. He is the best.
Steve AmaranteNovember 10, 2010Had the grilled Bronzini: Cooking Terms: RecipeTips.comHad the grilled Bronzini and the Spanish Mackerel both outstanding. The Plum Wine cocktail was ok and loved the simplistic decor.
Omakase, sashimi plate if your not at the sushi bar. Fish is incredible
