Ajay ChainaniAugust 9, 2014It's a good place for a date (not a first date). Try the Anago and Cream Cheese Tempura. It's legit.
Trace CohenJuly 22, 2010The sake here is amazing, make sure to ask the waitress to describe them all to you. Also the atmosphere makes you feel like you are in Japan, when you're really in Brooklyn. There are also buttons
JM ParveauxAugust 22, 2015One of the best meal I have ever had..! The black cod was simply out of this world!
carla elaineDecember 28, 2012Lovely decor & service. Suggested: tako wasabi (x1937), sake tasting, lamb chops, kakuni. Skip: the omakase tasting, rice ball.
Jackie VSeptember 26, 2015Went here for a Christmas present and it was so fun. Thanks booths are romantic!
Stinne WilhelmsenJune 6, 2015Excellent Japanese service. Private dining, lamb lollies, duck salad, tuna sashimi was favourites.
Nao MizDecember 25, 2011TRUST me. Order the Omakase, sit back, and relax. If you have a choice for dessert, try the Mineoka Tofu. It will melt in your mouth...:)
SparkieNovember 6, 2014You’ll recognize the entrance to Zenkichi because of its discreet door (in a wood-paneled wall) with the number ‘77’ above it.
Justin OrgelFebruary 18, 2012Duck salad. Mochi potato balls. Lamb chop. Spicy udon. Try not to get a long table to avoid overhearing yuppie conversations. - @foodpusher
MarilynOctober 25, 2013Nice place, good service, great food. Must try Shrimp&Nasu tempura and Nagoya teba wings.- Rem KoningMay 24, 2015Sushi is phenomenal and the private booths have you feeling like your dining in Tokyo
William HubaDecember 19, 2014Delicious small plates and sake in a very romantic and intimate setting.
Dana OMalleyJune 29, 2010Miso cod and frozen black sesame mousse are unreal. Highly recommend the tasting menu... a little bit of everything at a reasonable price. Sake selection is great!
Joe KileyJanuary 9, 2019Sticky ok. Omakase menu while unique was a little too expensive for what it was. The setting was pretty cool though. Cool spot for a late in the game date.
LucienNovember 18, 2012The Saikyo Miso Cod is so good you'll slap yo momma! Just don't actually slap your momma...you might get grounded... :)
Leigh QuindaraJune 15, 2012A splurge, but a must do. Romantic/private atmosphere and a tasting menu to die for!
Robert BrisitaMay 30, 2015Order the omakase with basic and premium sake flights to share between both of you.
Arnoud AalbersbergOctober 6, 2016Awesome tasting menu. The benches you sit on are hardship though...
I can't recommend this place enough. Everything is delicious.
Melody HanOctober 20, 2011Ok so technically I shouldn't have this on my Downtown Japanese list, but it's that good. Sexy setup, inventive food. Pork belly kikuchi.

omikase is flippin' amazing and not pricey at $65/per person. seasonal menu... semi-private, romantic booths.
Indulgent EatsAugust 18, 2011Omakase is SO worth it, but if going a la carte, the cod and teba wings are a must.
Lauren DocktorApril 22, 2012if you don't order omakase like me because of allergies, the hot udon is an absolute must!
Marz 1August 6, 2009Standouts: Blue Shrimp Sashimi w/ Tonburi, Tiger Shrimp & Shiitake Mushroom Tempura, Saikyo Miso Cod, Premium Nigiri Sushi, Frozen Black Sesame Mousse. Sake tasting FTW.
Jason DrakefordMarch 27, 2010Simply the most delicious Japanese restaurant in Brooklyn hands down, and the romantic cozy private booths are great for your date :)
Joe BrownSeptember 24, 2012Private booths! Great place to go if you're one of those gross couples who makes out at dinner.
Kelly BoneAugust 16, 2011Love the private booths and buzzers. If you ask, they offer a totally Vegetarian Omakase menu!
