Been here many times, used to frequent this restaurant but over the last few years I have noticed slight decline in the quality of service and food. The food as far as Japanese goes is pretty average and doesn't stand out as being any better than the near by competition. I've also been weary of going after seeing the B on the door as many times as I have, and find the flies in there pretty deterring as well. Kind of nice dinner atmosphere there for a date, and the prices seem pretty reasonable, but at times it seems your being rushed through your meal so they can turn over your table for new guests, or so they can take a break. Three stars for being as basic as any other local Japanese spot. read more

Our favorite sushi in Brooklyn Heights. Wide and creative menu with reasonable prices. Actual restaurant is relatively small so expect a wait especially on Friday or Saturday evenings. Good delivery service. read more

Delicious sushi with very nice price points during the lunch special. It has an incredibly attentive wait staff. The unsweetened iced green tea is delicious and the sushi menu will leave you wanting for more. I filled up quickly and look forward to a return trip to try some more. read more

This place is a true hidden gem. It's so small, but super packed that I had to wait roughly 15 minutes for an available seat; totally worth it, though. Do yourself a huge favor and always order the MONKEY roll. I'm not a huge sushi or restaurant person in general, but nothing is stopping me from coming back. Great food, great staff, great vibe, great atmosphere, great company. Best sushi place. read more

Iron Chef House has been a main go-to for us since I started working in the area. I've always really liked their tuna teriyaki--good portion size, good quality, tasted quite good, and for a great price you also got a soup and salad. Well, I don't know what happened, but they overhauled their menu and everything kind of went to shit. The price of the tuna teriyaki increased by around $1--about 20%. No more salad, just soup. The portion I got was tiny and the quality was really mediocre--it was dry, overcooked, and just wasn't that good. My coworker got a combination box, and they didn't slice his roll! The waiter brought him a knife, but have you ever tried slicing a sushi roll with a serrated knife? It's near impossible. Honestly, I don't think I'll be going back. This experience was beyond disappointing. read more

For Brooklyn heights this place is great. The sushi is always fresh and delicious, at times the rice is not perfect. I love the Osaka roll. Also the green tea ice cream and fried banana is bangin. The place has a great vibe, very comfortable, great waitresses and a local crowd. read more

First time eating sushi in brooklyn. It's my bf's fav place so of course he had to take me here. Cute small japanese place. We sat at the corner table for privacy and got hot sake since it was freezing outside. Started with 3 diff appetizers. I"m more of a sashimi person, but this place is def good for their rolls, we then went out to order 4 more rolls. By the end we were both extremely full and still couldn't finish the plate, and we both eat ALOT. We had another bottle of hot sake towards the end. Total bill he said was only 80 for the amt of food and alcohol we got. Pretty damn cheap. Love the waiters, very friendly and nice read more

Though it's a lengthy walk from school, the quality of ICH's sushi is worth it. Their prices are higher than the other Japanese restaurants that litter Brooklyn Heights, but their chefs know what they're doing. I opted for three roll lunch special (spicy tuna and spicy salmon), and the size of the ceramic dish caused me to choke on my water, but lo and behold, the dish was spotless within a few minutes. Start with their crisp and lightly-salted edamame and then work your way to their sushi and sashimi. You won't be disappointed. read more

Really not very good or fresh sushi. Ordered delivery and pretty disappointed given the positive reviews on Yelp.

I'm very torn on this review, because the food is amazing, but the service (and delivery) are AWFUL. Good things first: their grilled octopus, sushi pizza, tuna tartare, and sashimi platter are all excellent. Quality is fresh, the portions are reasonably sized, and the flavouring is quite strong (which I really like, but may not be for everyone). But, we've ordered from this restaurant twice (within Brooklyn) and both times the food has arrived more than 30-45 minutes late. They were very rude on the phone when we called to ask about the status of the order, promising that it would be there within 5-10 minutes (it took another 20-25). Not sure if the service is any better in person, but be forewarned if you order online that you'll be waiting a LONG time. read more

This place is literally a hole in the wall off of the Brooklyn Bridge. No matter what time of day or night or which day do the week you come this place is always packed. The owner and staff are super nice. The food is to die for. Literally the best sushi and specialty rolls. This place never disappoints. Highly recommend. read more

The sushi here was pretty good. Their rolls are a pretty good size. They make it right in front of you and work at a good speed. The tea was really good and very hot. The servers were very attentive and made sure your glass was always full. I liked the sushi here but my favorite sushi place is still sushi gallery down the street. read more

I've been here twice and had great experiences both times. The love boat is fantastic and the thing to get - they pack on a lot of sushi for $20 per person and it's all the best, tastiest rolls and sashimi. The shrimp tempura roll is delicious. The crunchy spring roll appetizer was a tasty starter. The staff is very attentive and the lighting is great. read more

Iron Chef House is one of my favorite local go-to spots in Brooklyn Heights. Their prices are comparable to other Japanese restaurants in the area. I love that their menu includes a wide variety. Often, I order sushi to be delivered from here. My favorites are their sashimi, Crispy Salmon Skin Salad, and spicy tuna roll. The restaurant itself is somewhat small, so during dinner hours on weekends there is a wait. Their service is great and the workers are attentive. read more

EVERYTIME... and I do mean every time I go to New York I go to the Iron Chef House... I've known the owner for over 20 years since he was a sushi chef in New Jersey... I was so disappointed when he left the restaurant where he worked but I hunted him down and found him at 92 Clark St. everyone that I know that love sushi if they go to New York pie tell them go to 92 Clark St. and asked for John have the spicy mix appetizer And the white seaweed wrap roll close your eyes and let the food create images of pure ecstasy on your pallet... The place is small but quaint the food is always fresh and delicious the Iron Chef House is my recommendation for all read more

Overpriced and mediocre. Go to Hibino instead. The spicy tuna roll isn't spicy, it's totally bland. The samon avocado roll is mush. It's unfortunate that when we let the restaurant know that the sushi did not live up to expectations, they were unreceptive and insinuated that our opinion is wrong because they've not received any complaints in 10 years. read more

Amazing lunch special! Very fresh fish. One of our favorite affordable and reliable places around Brooklyn Heights.

O...M...G...Thank u fellow Yelpers for recommending this Gem of Brooklyn. The service was Amazing! The ambiance was perfectly non pretencious. And the House Rolls were Phenomenal! This place has officially become a 'Must Eat' local anytime I'm in town! :) read more

I spoke too soon.I went back with a group if 7. The duck appetizer was inedible although highly recommended by waitress. The sushi not only was not as good as last time but the waitress ignored the fact one of us NEVER got her dinner. There are only about 10 tables in this tiny restaurant and it was obvious one person was sitting patiently with nothing on her plate while everyone else was served and eating. After asking for her missing meal at least 3 times, she finally gave up because everyone was done and it was ridiculous. Then the waitress had the temerity to mention to us that tip is not included in the bill. read more

I just moved into the neighborhood so I'm systematically trying the restaurants around me. After seeing slightly better than average reviews for this place, I figured I'd give it a try. It was also the only sushi place (there are 3 within a block) that had a crowd on a Wednesday night so I went for it. I got the 3 Flavor Fish Sushi Dinner which is 2 pieces of ahi, salmon, and yellowtail sashimi with a "special roll" that I couldn't figure out what it was. It was enough food for 16 bucks and the sashimi was good enough, the roll was a bit below average, but the real object of my scorn is the wasabi. It smelled like some sort of distasteful synthetic variety, tasted the same and wasn't really as "hot" as I like it. Kinda put a pall over the whole meal. I may go back to try some their other dishes, but not until I try ALL the other sushi joints nearby. read more

I fear that I will spend the rest of my life searching for sushi as good as that at Iron Chef House. I used to live right around the corner from this cozy sushi shop and visiting here regularly was like getting my weekly sushi vitamins. Although they do carry delicious nigiri that is always extremely fresh, the reason to come here is the taste explosion that results from their creative sushi rolls. I have never found anything that danced such a tantalizing tango upon my palate. Anything on their daily specials list can be expected to be fantastic. There are unique sauces and creative additions like toppings of dried cranberry and crushed pecans, which sounds bizarre but actually is spectacular. The seared hamachi is likely my favorite dish, but really so many make my mouth water as I sit here on the other side of the country basking in memories. Not only do I love the meal, but the service is always warm and friendly. Even now when my visits are reduced to twice a year, due to my relocation to California, instead of once a week the waitresses still greet me and ask about my new life out west and chat warmly. This is the kind of place where I almost desire to give it a horrible review so that I could keep it a somewhat hidden treasure, but I suppose since I cannot visit it so much myself spreading the wealth is not such a bad idea. read more

THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. They do not answer the phone AT ALL. I had one simple change on an order which was yet to be started and was told "we don't care, cancel the order and leave". I called them 9 times with 2 minutes of placing the order. Drove 30+ minutes from my house to be BLATANTLY disrespected and disregarded because my mother is allergic to avocado and I accidentally typed cucumber. DISGUSTING. read more

This place was a very pleasant surprise. Prices are pretty darn good, $3-5.50 for a roll, and wonderful special rolls. We got the shrimp tempura roll, avocado roll, spicy tuna (as always), and their special which was a spicy lobster avocado roll at $13.50-a splurge but it was AWESOME! Next time I am in the area I will for sure go back. Good service and a nice atmosphere. Good for 2-4 people. Also good for dates. read more

Good sushi place. I'd definitely go back. Price was right. Sushi was fresh - not the best quality but great for the price. You should also try their cooked food -- the cod is great. read more

Tiny but accomodating, food is nothing to rave about, but still a nice atmosphere, decently priced...small bathrooms!!!

Some how I always find myself moving to different areas but one thing I need in my life is a sushi place that I can frequent. Sushi is fresh, people are nice, the prices are incredible, I'm a huge fan! read more

Way overrated. I would say the atmosphere is nice and the sushi is cheap, but there are definitely some weird sushi options. The rice did not taste like sushi rice. The miso soup was served with a spoon!?! The service was a bit pushy. Definitely not authentic sushi. Good enough if you want sushi and dint want to pay a lot. For someone who doesn't know a lot about sushi it is fine but I won't go back. I love sushi and this was not great.I'd give this 2.5 stars read more

Small and cozy and oh so good! The fish is fresh, portions are generous and food presentation is done well too. Huge selection of specialty rolls, for instance, a "special" spicy tuna roll which was topped off with tempura flakes. The prices at Iron Chef House are insanely low and comparable to many other sushi joints in the Brooklyn Heights/Carroll Gardens area which lag far behind Iron Chef House in terms of quality and restaurant ambiance. I forgot how good this place is until I came here this past weekend. Now I won't go anywhere else in the Heights for sushi. read more

This is a great go-to sushi place. Nothing crazy, and the prices are just right. I love their Monkey Roll. It's huge, so be prepared. The Green Roll is good too, a little funyky looking too, haha. read more

I love this place! The mushroom soup is the absolute yummiest! On a cold day I get that and some sushi delivered to my office and it is a bangin' lunch. read more

While a blizzard hits brooklyn, I think everyone agrees it feels good to stay in warm and cozy and have someone else cook for you :-). I decided to order in sushi at a reasonable price. This was the quickest delivery service I've had in Brooklyn thus far. My sushi was here within 20-25 mins DURING the blizzard. They have a good variety of reasonably priced platters and sushi is pretty good. In $22, I had miso soup, beef broccoli appetizer, 20 sushi rolls, delivered fresh/quick to my door again DURING the blizzard!!!! This place is pretty cool. Try it. read more

This popular sushi place is not ran by Japanese owners. This is place is ran by Chinese chefs and workers. This is not what I consider authentic in any sense. The food was decent overall but for westerners but Asians who want sushi should go somewhere else. The shumai dumplings were from the frozen food aisle of Asian grocery stores. The sushi fish itself was not the freshest in my opinion. It's a decent place to go when you do feel like going into the city for authentic sushi or for take out. read more

the exterior of this place is sort of deceiving. given its unremarkable signage and the fact that it's in an area that isn't exactly, how shall I put it, "spectacular" as far as chow goes, I was expecting this place to be pretty divey. when I decided on takeout the other night and ended up giving this place a try, I was surprised to walk in and find a nice and even somewhat hip sushi place. not to mention that it was pretty packed for a weeknight. the sushi I ordered was fresh, and the steamed pork dumplings were sufficiently tasty. I'd definitely go there again. read more

This place has mediocre sushi and terrible service. My best friend and I got food poisoning after eating sashimi here in 2008. We used to be regulars but after 5 years they didn't give us so much as a decent table or piece of free sushi so we stopped spending our money there especially after getting so sick. There is a far better sushi place on Atlantic Ave now with better prices and food. They also messed up our delivery orders nearly every time we ordered last year so watch out! read more

Delicious, good price. Service can be strange, they're either never at your table or there every 5 seconds. Overall, a favorite spot for sushi, udon and teriyaki. Teriyaki sauce is awesome. read more

Freshness counts, perhaps in sushi more than any other cuisine. And Iron Chef House has been reliably on the occasions when my husband and I have eaten here. We typically order the same or similar dishes (sushi deluxe and chirashi over brown rice), and whether it's Tuesday night take-out, Friday night delivery or a Saturday night sit-down meal, we've never been let down. read more

This is by far the best sushi I have had since moving to Nyc. Its a little gem hidden in Bklyn Heights. This is Nobu quality sushi without the Nobu price tag. Inside the decor is nice and inviting, the servers are all very attentive. I try and eat here at least once every two weeks. My favorite roll there is the Kobe roll, its raw salmon on the inside and its topped with more raw salmon on the top, it has a hint of lemon zest tucked away under the salmon to give it that umami flavor in every bite. I have tried almost everything on the menu and have never tried something I didn't like. I took a friend there and he ordered the udon noodles. Just beware when you say you want it spicy like the Udon noodle for example they will be sweltering spicy almost inedible for most people, I had to polish off the bowl for him because he could not eat it. read more

Wow! So thankful for yelp- in town tried to find something close and noticed the great reviews and they were justified! Had the "dinner special" - miso soup was good- huge piece of teriyaki salmon with grilled vegetables, PLUS 8 pieces of sashimi! Salad AND noodles that were yummy --- glad I am in Brooklyn for a few more days so I can come back and try some of their rolls-- read more

Ok - I have no idea where all of these 4 and 5 star reviews are coming from. Did these people eat at the same restaurant? Ordered delivery, about $50 worth of sushi - appetizers, standard rolls and speciality roles. None of it was very good. The appetizers, shrimp shumai and edamame, were nothing special. Have had better shumai from the frozen section at Trader Joe's and for some reason it came with regular yellow mustard - no dipping sauce, very odd. The edamame was barely cooked and cold, no salt and bland. The sushi was mediocre. The rice really makes the sushi and in this case the rice was cold and hard, not fresh tasting. The spicy tuna roll was the best of the worst, but had an odd artificial bright red coloring which was a bit off-putting. The salmon sushi was chewy (never a good sign). None of it looked fresh and natural. Sorry, this is a no-go and won't be going back. read more
