I know that this is a good sushi place. I'm not disputing the deliciousness of the sushi. BUT We ordered $130 worth of sushi tonight (it was all delicious.) And instead of tempura they gave us teriyaki. I didn't bother to call because it was a group of us and we all needed to eat and we weren't going to make one person in the group wait for the order to be fixed. So after we were done entertaining I called the restaurant to let them know their mistake. The lady on the phone lectured me about how I should have called hours ago and that they would've fixed it. I said, it's sushi, we can't I'll wait for one person to get their order right. I assumed she would just refund us for their mistake. Especially since our total bill was $130 I have zero patience for poor customer service. read more

I am still salivating over dessert! Their sushi is fresh here and the dessert was amazing! Their green tea fried ice cream was so perfect. This is the best fried ice cream I've ever had. The batter is crispy on the outside and thin layer of cake on the inside with a scoop of ice cream of your choice. It was just a perfect ending to a great meal. They give generous portions for their sushi rolls and their sashimi tasted fresh both times I've been here. Try their monster appetizer! Service was great! Never really came during busy hours though. read more

More like a 3.5 but will round up on this one. Had dinner here and got the following: -Spicy Seafood Soup $5.25 -Monkey Roll $10.95 -Crazy Dragon Roll $9.25 -Brooklyn Roll $12 The soup was delicious with a variety of seafood and a generous portion. It also had a great kick to it. The fish in the rolls was good and fresh, but I was not a fan of the sauces. They took away from the fish. I wish I got sashimi or nigiri with no sauce. Maybe next time. read more

Friendly fast service. Warm lighting & decor. Excellent food. My friend ordered for me, which was incredibly helpful as I am just dipping a toe into the world of sushi. But everything was so good! Since this place is just a block away from my apartment, I foresee a few trips back in the near future. read more

Great sushi spot in Brooklyn Heights. I ordered the steak teriyaki and shrimp/vegetable tempura dinner Bento Box which came with a fresh green salad, soup, noodles and shumai. The serving size was impressive and the steak was cooked perfectly. The presentation of the food was also very appetizing. Rolls and specialty rolls here are also very good. Right now I am in love with the Atlantic roll. The environment inside is both trendy and cozy, and every time I go it seems to be packed with customers. However, I've never had to wait more than 20 minutes for a table. Iron Chef House is a win in my book! read more

My sisters and cousin brought me here for my birthday. We ordered soooo many rolls. We ordered so many that I couldnt tell if I was eating the same roll twice in a row since they all looked similar. However, the sushi was very good! The presentation of the sushi is also very nice. It's a small restaurant but good for small groups! read more

I would give them 0 stars if I could! We ordered tonight on Seamless and, despite being very considerate of the situation, we waited 3 hours for our food. We tried to call them at least 10 times and when they finally answered, I got attitude from a rude lady who lied saying the order was on the way. Half an hour later, food still not here and we live 2 min drive from the place. This place is a joke and I really hope they'll go out of business cause they don't deserve to be open. Note: this happened 3 weeks ago too, but we thought it was a one off and they had a bad night. We gave them another shot but clearly this how they run the business read more

Generous portions. Nice ambience. Clean bathroom. Service was fine though we had to ask the waitress several times to be seated. Once seated things moved great. I am not a fine taster of sushi, so all I can say was that the salmon, tuna, and spicy tuna all tasted different. And I was full on the Triple Roll option 3x8 pieces for $12). read more

We stopped by this little Japanese place on the weekend, we were pleasantly surprised by how fresh and tasty food the was. We eat sushi all the time and I can tell sashimi were very fresh. We also really enjoyed yellowtail with jalapeño which was recommended by our server Paul. Paul was very helpful and knowledgeable. Great food and very friendly staff, I can't ask for more than that. So highly recommended if you are in Brooklyn heights area. read more

Great food, great lunch spot and compliant with all Covid rules. They checked my vaccination card when I walked in, unlike other places in the neighborhood. Best sushi place around read more

Not bad. Small portions and a long cook. Of all things, I liked lobster roll. Wouldn't have come back.

Came here on a trip to DUMBO on Saturday. Was one of the only sushi spots in the area and the reviews looked good. Place was empty for a Saturday afternoon in this area. Ordered the standard 3 spicy roll meal, priced right around where I'd expect. It was ok, I hate when they put "spicy california" rolls in the 3 roll combo as I never thought they tasted that great. My friend ordered a huge bento box on their lunch menu for $11 which is an amazing deal (see photo for size). All in all, nice little spot in the DUMBO/Brooklyn Heights area. read more

If I could give them zero stars, I would. Nasty customer service when i placed a delivery order and (refused to take blame when they brought it to the wrong address), and it was a back and forth with a rude women for over an hour. they should have owned up to the fact that they wrote down the wrong address over the other way around. will not order from them again. read more

Strolled in here after I got sworn into the Second Department Courthouse around the corner, and was very pleasantly surprised. Food: The sushi selections were incredibly inventive. The miso soup was better than the typical store-bought stuff most places serve. We had a salad special, made up of tuna, eel and I think mango. Next we ordered a roll with lobster, salmon and yellowtail in a sauce of ginger and apple sauce. The fish was very fresh and delicious. Service: The waitress spoke great English and was very helpful as we asked her what all the menu items were. The food came out quickly. Ambience: New age architecture inside - colorful and chic. Bottom Line: Wonderfully fresh and inventive sushi in Brooklyn Heights. read more

Best affordable and decent sushi in Brooklyn Heights. I've been ordering for delivery several times and never experienced issues. Been here for dinner several times and the place was always busy (as well when I stop by picking up food). Today I enjoyed a nice bento box for lunch and it was simply delicious and just above 11 bucks (including taxes). Definitely a fan:) read more

I feel very sorry for this place, I used to like that place, but today it became nightmare- no service at all. It looks like huge mess - the door was open in such cold weather, hot water -problem, cups - problem. So if you want to spoil your evening visit Iron chef. read more

This place is JUST what you need after overpaying for food that doesn't taste super fresh by Times Square. The prices are very reasonable for lunch and staff is kind. read more

Such amazing sushi place at an even more amazing price. I love this place and the area located. Definitely the best sushi in cobble hill but not the best I've ever had. However. The freshness is 100 and the staff is very nice - they even laid my napkin on my lap lol! read more

3 stars? 3.5 maybe. I'm not sure. There are plenty of sushi restaurants around and this one was the first one I tried around here. It was a pleasant experience. The regular rolls are regular rolls. California, Alaska, are always good. I think this place shines when it comes to specialty rolls. One of the rolls I got was their well known Monkey roll. No regrets. A colorful combination of avocado and three sauces. My friends envied me as I ate the entire roll piece by piece. Another roll I got that stood out was a special lobster roll. it was big. It was pink. Each piece was a big mouthful. Loved it. The atmosphere was Ok. It felt a little tight and cold air was constantly blowing in (we had window seats). Overall, nice restaurant. Prices were great for sushi, but I am willing to try the numerous other sushi places close by. read more

Delivery arrived in 20 minutes, and the food was satisfactory. It was good for delivered sushi. I'm sure it's great in the restaurant.

Now this is a restaurant I recommend! Great food, nice environment, friendly staff. I love Iron Chef House. They also happen to have a secret menu for frequent customers. read more

The sushi is good but not worth the wait. We have taken into consideration the situation we are in but to not be able to reach them, to even know if the food is coming and to wait over 2.5 hours for the food is just ridiculous. We live very close by and try to support local businesses so we have given them the benefit of the doubt the first couple of times but unfortunately we will not be ordering from there anymore. read more

My go-to spot! Iron Chef has quality sushi and friendly service. I'd say the quality of the fish is on par with Blue Ribbon Sushi at a much more affordable price tag. We usually get the Sashimi Deluxe, the triple spicy rolls and some appetizers. Food is always consistent. Service is warm and friendly. They even called my work to return my lost bag! I'll definitely continue dining here. read more

Quite truly the best sushi in the city for this casual/everyday price point!!! The special rolls are unreal- The monkey roll is simple yet strangely amazing - and the fish is fresh. Their gyozas are one of the best I've had and the chicken fried rice is also a Must!! Service also is great. Each person I've come with have all felt the same. Love! read more

Loved the 2011 roll. All my friends were satisfied with their meals. Good prices everything tastes very fresh.

Great service and great food! No.1 beef steak w/ bone @ japanese restaurant

Best price and quality in the neighborhood! Introduced by a friend and it had exceeded my expectations. We tried the steak and sashimi and couldn't wait to order another round! read more

First time ordering from Iron Chief House, never had much faith in sushi delivery but Iron Chief did an excellent job! Having had countless amazing sushis in Tokyo, my standards for sushi are quite high...thus, the sushis alone I will give a 3-star. However, the delivery is very fast and the delivery person was super sweet. The tempura and and duck roll are crispy and hot, miso soup and noodle are decent as well. Everything were well packaged; will order again! read more

Tasty and affordable sushi spot in the Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO neighborhoods. I often stop by for lunch after the gym for some post-workout protein. Fish is good quality, solid lunch specials, and the service is super friendly. I always feel well taken care of here. They seem to have a lot of regulars too which is always a good sign, I feel. Not a destination spot, but if you're in the neighborhood and craving sushi, definitely stop in! read more

Hands down the best in the area for sushi. Call ahead because the sitting area is small. They held a table for the 9 of us. The food came out quick and everything was amazing. We were so hungry that we did not have to take photos, but the food was presented beautifully and again tasted amazingly. read more

Just got off a flight from San Diego and I'm visiting NYC. It's about 8pm, and of course I'm starving. Out the door to the unexpected city that never sleeps! I'm already feeling a love that I once had with this city and it's all coming back! The air is crisp and as nuts as this sounds, I love the smell of a little dirt in the air, makes me feel like I'm at home (which I am)...... (San Diego is of course known for the fabulous weather, and of course, clean air.) I have a smile from ear to ear. After jumping from the N, to the 2-3 train, we have arrived in Brooklyn Heights. A Beautiful neighborhood. Destination "Iron Chef House". Small quaint sushi restaurant. The lighting is dim and specks of red lighting surrounding the restaurant. Hostess sat my girlfriend and I in probably the worst table. In the corner of course next to the bathroom. Which I'm totally for being near a bathroom since I am not shy to say but suffer from IBS. Once seated, and I'll add seated so close to the next couple over, you can hear every detail in there conversation. Ironically the girl sitting next to me was on the same flight as I was. Weird? No, that's nyc for ya. Anyway I ordered my usual miso soup with out the crunches and a Valentine roll and green tea. The food was ok, not the best. The price was average about $12. For the roll and 3 or 4 bucks for soup. No big deal. When we were finished our meal, another friend had joined us. Making it difficult because of the seating was so tight the couple next to us seemed a bit annoyed. Not my fault this place is so small. With three ladies catching up on some dirt, we were saying inappropriate things that offended them by the looks on there face. We were talking about normal things sex, sex, and what else sex. What else does a group of ladies honestly talk about when they go out to dinner? So I do apologize for that, but come on if you were looking for a date atmosphere this is not it. The price matched up to the service. I had to constantly look around for my little Asian waitress to even remember that we were stuck in the corner. Food came out quick. But then....oh no....ooh Christ! Thank god the bathroom was there... When I eat sushi and that happens, to me that mean's it was bad sushi, right? I've only gotten that a couple other times at Sushi Deli 1 in downtown SD. And there sushi is pretty cheep. In the end with my being happy that I was in NYC, I honestly didn't care really that the service kind of sucked, and my tummy ended up doing flips. Nothing a Mandarin and soda can't calm down at the bar down the street. And that my friend will be my next review, a bunch of Italian stallions......... read more

Okay, I'm going to preface this review by saying that I am a slight sushi snob. I don't really like to eat specialty rolls and much prefer my raw fish unadulterated by rice or weird sauces. I also have a tendency to be skeptical of sushi places not owned by Japanese people...am I a food racist? Perhaps, but not really the point of this review. That being said, I think this is a SOLID neighborhood sushi joint. As long as you go in not expecting great omakase, I think you're fine. If you want cool specialty rolls, this is the place to go. The regular rolls (ie. salmon roll) are actually a great deal. VERY large portions at a good price point. And the sushi quality was surprisingly good :) I am docking one star because their bathroom is horridly dark and the chef who used it prior to me did not wash his hands (the urinal was still flushing when I walked in...). But if it makes you all feel better, I did check that the sushi chefs use gloves when making the food. shrug. Because they sat us as an incomplete party, I am bumping them back up to five stars. I must be feeling particularly generous. read more

Sad to have spent the money in a restaurant we thought was japanese. Food is close to japanese but you must know it is a Japanese with Chinese influence. NOt such a good experience when you have to keep on asking for the tea to be refilled. read more

I used to have a weekly rehearsal right down the street from here and we would often stop in at Iron Chef House for an after-practice bite. The staff loved us, so much so that certain members of the group got to create new rolls and name them. I didn't attend the evening meals half as much as everyone else though, so I never got to name a roll, but J's Monkey roll is one that lives on in infamy. Shrimp tempura and a spicy sauce were components of it and it was very, very tasty. The fish always seems fresh here and the staff is the best. Very hospitable and always welcoming. read more

It's a Friday night after work and this is my last weekends grabbing sushi with one of my close guy friend in NYC!! We always wanted to try sushi around Brooklyn but we failed.. Since we are spoiled with the food in Manhattan.. So we kinda ignored Brooklyn... So after work.. We just went into Iron Chef since they have an A rating and also higher rating than Sushi Samba (which I heard they have good ratings but overprice).. hmm.. Looking at the menu.. The dinner set caught my eyes on it... My guy friend said he is gonna order that... As for me.. I don't like to order the same thing as my friend does.. I love to order something different and just grab a bite of my friends portion.. (so you can have more variety right??) So.. I look at their special sushi which cost about $10.. I am hesitating whether or not I should order it as for the dinner combo is only $17 with soup, noodles, xiumai.. and you are able to choose sushi, sashimi.. and a few more which I don't remember... As I said I don't like to order what my friend does.. I look at the other specialty.. The sushi and sashimi combo caught my eyes but I am afraid I can't finish it!!! "You are not gonna be full with just a special roll..!!!" that's what my guy friend told me... As I remember I can eat a lot of sushi when I was in Malaysia.. hmm... so I finally make up my mind in ordering the sushi and sashimi combo.. It also comes with a bowl of salad.. Salad.. the greens that they used are fresh and the dressing is really special as I can feel that the salad dressing and the greens are blending together and the "freshness" just went into my mouth.. The miso soup that my guy friend had looks pretty good.. I can't comment on it since I did not try it.. As for the sashimi and sushi that I ordered.. The sashimi is really fresh and clean.. Since it's raw.. So I am really picky on it.. They are really generous in their sashimi as you can taste the fish.. where some of the restaurant will just give you a tiny little bit of sashimi since it's expensive.. The sushi is pretty normal but it's really huge and I can't finish it.. As for my friends dinner combo.. The xiumai tasted really bad.. I think they just bought it from some cheap asian store and just steam it.. :S Other than that.. It's pretty normal but the price is reasonable and if you come to think of the food and the dollar value.. This place is definitely the best sushi priced place!!! (Sorry for my bad English) As you may wonder why do I give 4 stars instead of 5 stars. well.. Since the price is reasonable and the portion is huge.. The place is clean and the raw fish that they used are clean but it might not be in a good quality.. As I can feel it in my mouth.. (I guess it's because I had been to Hatsuhana where the raw fish they used are really fresh but it's way more expensive).. Well.. you can tell it right? I don't think they will price it that cheap if they are using the best quality fish!! Other than that.. I have to say this.. My guy friend claims that after this.. He lost his appetite the next day!! which I don't really believe it since I am totally fine.. (I guess I have a better "system" in my body.. :P) read more

Iron Chef House - sushi & sashimi combo - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'm knocking this down from previous review of 5 stars from 18 months ago. The service, food, and even the sanitary rating (B) have all taken a dive. Still a cosy little neighborhood spot for dinner but not nearly as great as it used to be - seems that I'm not the only one thinking so as is nowhere near as busy as it used to be. So unfortunate. Will be looking for a new sushi go to nearby read more

I'm not as hot on this as Henry B., but this is definitely very good. (That's what three stars is for me...four is excellent and five is spectacular). I wouldn't call it amazing x 4, but rather very good. The rolls are extremely creative and unique. You'll find variations you don't see everywhere else. In the case of some of them though, there's just too much going on. The seared yellowtail platter is a delicious appetizer with ginger, garlic and a lemon/ponzu sauce. Yummy. Also surprisingly good is the eel fried rice. The fish, overall was extremely fresh. If you are particular about the sushi rice, however, this was average in my opinion -- somewhat too overcooked (mushy rather than the optimum sticky but each grain still maintains its integrity) and it also was lacking the traditional rice wine vinegar, which is part of what I love about the plain sushi experience. Tuna sashimi was excellent. The environment is adorable, comfortable, social and modern. A great neighborhood place if you live nearby or find yourself in the area and craving sushi. If you're going out in DUMBO, say, and you want sushi...go here. Do NOT go to the Miso place in DUMBO...it's gross. So, my review amounts to: go here if you're in the area and want a great vibe, creative and unique rolls and fresh fish. If you're looking for impeccable quality of ingredients and preparation other than the fish alone, you can do better in this sushi mecca that is NYC. read more

I'll tell you what's good here are the vegetarian sushi rolls. For those veggies who are sick of the standard cucumber and avocado roll while their friends chow down on exotic raw fish dishes, this place is a godsend. Sweet potato tempura rolls, marinated tofu folls, asparagus, and spicy mixed vegetable are some of my favorite. Also... Why isn't Green Tea Ice Cream more popular? I would totally buy that sh!t from a Mister Softee Truck. read more

I had a simple Salmon Roll. Rice, seaweed, salmon. Easy, right? Not so fast. The salmon was not a fresh cut of salmon, it was more of a ground mush of fishy flesh. I'm always skeptical of sushi places that don't offer up whole cuts. Who's to say that they aren;t cutting their salmon with a cheaper fish? A MYSTERY fish! The flavor of the salmon was not quite right and I left feeling nauseous and disappointed with the affordable but slightly 'off' sushi. Will not go back. File under: MEH. read more
