From Google Maps reviews.
This is one of my favorite restaurants, not just in NYC, but ever. I used to live across the street and would go multiple times a week back when it was a sit-down restaurant (pre-pandemic). I've since moved away, but I always go out of my way to eat here whenever I come back to visit NYC. The owners and staff are always really nice; they care a lot about their customers and the community. They always remember me, even if it's been a year since I was last there. I'm not sure what's going on with
I always go there for lunch, this is a grocery store that has a small kitchen inside. Don’t get me wrong, the place is clean and neat. They have prep meals and ready to eat food that is fast serving and delicious! Such as onigiri (rice balls), ramen kit, beef don, curry, bento boxes, bread, marinated egg… (they have too many things!!!) The ramen is my go to! Very affordable Japanese food! They always being innovative as well, constantly bringing out new products or foods.
Come here every few weeks for Karaage and some other Japanese snacks. Hidden gem in the neighborhood and really all of Brooklyn. Chicken is always super fresh and cheap, the other menu items are pricier but still really well done. Can find some interesting sake here too. Highly recommend overall, need more places like this in BK.
From the Feb 14, 2025 health inspection. Lower-priority items are listed after the serious ones.
Staff hygiene fell short: soiled clothing, no hair covering, or unkempt nails.
Hot food was held below 140°F, cool enough for bacteria to grow.
