More like 2.5 stars. This is basically a snack shop type of restaurant with an emphasis of the show One Piece; with wall paper decor and figurines along the corner wall. The eel avocado sushi roll was meh; The Rock shrimp tempura (2 pieces per order) was mushy and not fresh. Ordered the Chicken and lamb skewers- tasted okay. The only outstanding dish was the pork belly bao- the meat was well seasoned and placed inside a warm, soft, fluffy Mantou bun. There wasn't much service as the restaurant was half full on a weekend. read more

We decided to dine here for a quiet dinner and were unfortunately disappointed. Ambiance - 3.5 stars The atmosphere was pleasant and the decor, including anime elements. This gave a nice feeling of being in Japan. Service 3.5 stars The wait staff was attentive and efficient. Service was fast, and we had no issues on that end. Food - 1.5 stars This was the most disappointing part of the experience, especially considering we ordered very basic dishes. Tonkotsu Ramen: 2 stars The portion size was generous and came with plenty of char siu, but the broth unfortunately lacked flavor and depth. Curry Pork Katsu on Rice: 1 star The rice tasted like leftover, dried-out non-Japanese rice, and the curry flavor was off. The only redeeming part of the dish was the pork, which was nicely crispy. Overall, while the ambiance and service were good, the food fell short of our expectations. read more

I ordered the Mango Creamy Soda to drink. I also ordered the Miso Ramen and it was amazing! I love the broth it was so good and the ramen noodles were thick but soft. I also had pork soup dumplings, not the best. They were really soft so when touched with chopsticks they fell apart immediately :(. The service was ok. The guy who attended us was very nice but the lady seems to rush people to order, eat and leave. The place wasn't packed at all, we went around 4pm.

Salmon avocado roll wasn't fresh and the shrimp tempura roll was very dry and on top of that We ordered stuff around 65 dollars and when we were checking out the we left a tip and the waiter told us to leave more money for a tip and I just thought that was very rude because if we didn't leave a tip I would understand but your telling me that my tip isn't enough is wild . I won't be back definitely They're very hungry for tips Your lucky I left you more and didn't argue with you read more

Got the fagon roll, tonkotsu ramen, and half dozen classic mix skewers. Price was honestly okaay not a great deal but not overpriced either. The ramen was great for first couple bits until we realized it was kind of bland tasting and like basic instant ramen noodles? The roll was great not much complaints. The skewers are a hit or miss especially the lamb big miss (pls avoid) and chicken/beef is pretty good too but the pork belly was a huge hit. Honestly my high rating despite everything else comes solely from the pork belly skewers cooked to perfection. Still a tad pricey because it's only like 3-4 pieces per skewer thats like $2 each but so worth it. I honestly would come back here just for the pork belly skewers alone, worth the travel/price. The decor and vibes are also great one piece themed if you're into it. Service was the average you'd expect but go here on a weekday and not much people was such a bonus. read more

The quality of their Tonkuto Ramen has gone downhill. Very disappointed. The broth lacked of flavor and char Chiew is too rough and dry that I need to spit it out. The egg isn't good neither. No bamboo shoot or any other ingredients. Another thing is the severs talk too loud and what they talk about is inappropriate and it made lose my appetite. read more

So this time when we came back, everything was perfect! The service was quick and friendly, and the food didn't take that long to come out. My favorite is definitely the Gyudon for it really is flavorfully hefty! Their skewers are also quite delicious, especially the pork belly and chives! The ambiance is also very mellow and warm, not too crowded and the music selection was good too! Haven't had their raw sushi selection this time around, so can't say if it improved or not, but my wife really loves their California hand roll (: Highly recommend coming here for a nice and affordable meal! Thank you for reading and good luck! (: read more

Seeing One Piece, I have always wanted to try this place. I only tried their tonkatsu ramen and unfortunately I cannot say that I liked it enough to ever come back. The broth was pretty good. However, their choice of noodles is too thick for my liking (that's not where I'm deducting the points though). The meat was too dry and the egg was too salty. I couldn't exactly enjoy my meal. Now I don't know if I had just been spoiled by the ramen I normally get in the city but I thought the portion here was pretty small in comparison. read more

You can still appreciate the decor even if you're not a One Piece fan! Quite spacious and brightly lit, pretty fast for pick up orders as well. As for the food, while the sushi rolls range from good to solid, it's the yakitori that's pretty disappointing. For yakitori/skewers, there needs to be a good char and smokiness, but these had none of that. Mild in terms of flavor as well. Tried the lamb and beef, there's not enough fat around to make it a juicy yakitori too sadly. For the rolls, any of the crunchy rolls are good! I especially liked the spicy tuna with crunch, the spicy salmon, and surprisingly despite not being what I expected, I also enjoyed the crispy sauce crab crunchy roll (it's imitation crab roll btw). Maybe I just liked the crunch heh. You can skip the shrimp tempura, nothing to write about. All are topped with the delicious spicy mayo read more

The curry in the katsu chicken curry was weird because it was watery and it didn't taste like typical curry in the katsu curry dishes I've tried before.

Visited today for the One Piece decorations! It was fun to see, but as expected the food was kind of subpar. My friend and I both ordered chicken katsu with rice and the chicken came out cold. The yakitori had a funny smell to it. Everything else was just OK. I think I would recommend ordering sushi rolls or the curry katsu dishes because those were a bit better! But we didn't go for the food, so it was as expected. read more

My first time here. Ordered takeout. Overall disappointed. We have never seen such small pieces of sushi like this before. This is what you would expect at a sushi buffet but this was still the smallest for us. The taste was okay. $83 order in the picture. Take a good look for reference on how much food to order.

For One Piece anime fanatics prob a 5/5 for the decor to make you hype, for a regular Japanese foodie I would say an ok 4/5 Location/Ambience: 4/5 Underneath subway lines, parking is based on street parking in the local neighborhood, its either a good or bad depending on when you go I guess. I came from Queens and it was a bit annoying to go that far deep intro Brooklyn, going past every street corner. In terms of the effort in the decor, I give it a solid 5/5 for all the merch and placements of everything, even in the restroom XD. One Piece pops and figures everywhere from the display case by customer tables to the above shelves by the chiefs. Food: 4/5 Solid well cooked, We had like three appetizers of karage, takoyaki and fries and sushi and ramen combo for our main course. Took about 10 minutes for everything to come out. We went lunch weekday. Staff: 5/5 We were one of three groups during that period of eating so I think it was just natural for the staff to be quick and attentive around us. Again we went Weekday lunch. Price: 4/5 The price is pretty much the same around any japanese place. I was expecting the price to be higher since themed restarants would charge more cause of the "experience" or "ambience" they created but they kept it normal pricing, 2 people with like 3 apps and 2-4 entrees was like $60-$70 Accessibility/Layout 4/5 Cashier at the entrance with the entrance door on the right side of the restaurant with tables lined along the left side and kitchen/sushi station on the right side behind the cashier. Restroom in the back. read more

Embarrassing amount of good given for the price to food ratio. Food quality is also not that good.

There's a lot of food options, it's a bit overwhelming. I just hope they mastered it all. I've taken out of here twice already, and it's something about the ramen that I'm not impressed with. The ramen noodles is your typical wavy one that I order from mitsuwa all the time. The spicy miso and regular miso soup base is not bad at all, I actually prefer it compared to their tonkutsu. The pork was very disappointing tho because it was not tender but rough. However; their sushi rolls are cheaper compared to its neighbor on 86th street and it's delicious. The avocado is perfectly riped, and the salmon is fresh. What I was most impressed with is the 15-20 minutes from order to delivery. I expected to receive my order at 7:30 it came before 7. read more

This place is the best place for anime lovers, especially One Piece! The decor is very cute I came here to check it out and they were pretty busy to the point that they didn't give us water or plates until we were actually ready to order. We got the miso ramen, unagi sushi pancake, pork katsu curry with rice & the kushi roll to share. The food looks good but don't have too much flavor. The kushi roll reminds me of california roll but with eel so it was only okay. I love ramen so I had some expectations, however other than the noodles being a good chewy texture which i like , the broth wasn't that good in my opinion. Pork katsu is decent, but a bit spicy so that stays to what you'd think when you see pork katsu. The unagi sushi pancake was interesting ... it has rice on the bottom with eel, avocado and masago with spicy mayo & it was pretty good :) read more

I'm giving this restaurant 3 stars as an "A-OK" because the food was edible, the wait staff was pleasant and the prices are reasonable. By all means, nothing about this place is "absolutely amazing" or even amazing... Pork Katsu curry rice - I did not like this. The curry did not have a pleasant flavor - it was slightly tangy/sour (not spoiled), was not thick enough and it didn't taste like a Japanese/Indian/Malaysian curry. The dish had peppers, zucchini and potatoes in it...but I would have much preferred the packaged curry.. The katsu was fine, not TOOOOO dry, but since it was drenched in the curry sauce, I opted out of eating too much of it. Sushi Pancake - not bad, basically a deep fried rice patty topped with eel and avocado Salt & Pepper Squid - i think this was it (check the photo).. this was probably the best dish from here. Overall, if you live in the area and need to get food, this place is a good option. If you do not live in the area and you want to travel to eat good food, perhaps look for something else. read more

Highly recommend this place to anyone who is around 86st and is trying to find a new place to eat. They have such a large selection of foods to chose from and they are all pretty good!! I used to love getting their skewers there and I always always get the pad Thai. Obviously not authentic but if tastes so damn good ! I also really like the salty Friday squid, super juice and piping hot when it's out. The sushi isn't half bad. Not sure if they still serve that now since they have been changing the menus often. But if they do I also recommend getting some rolls, very generous with the fillings and not too much rice! Also nice and clean presentation of food read more

The decor and appearance of Kushi Izakaya outshine the food and service in my opinion. One Piece is awesome and the countless figures inside really add to the feeling of the restaurant. When you're walking by, you literally cannot miss this place. I've eaten from here two times -- the first was when it first opened and the second was a week ago, in March 2022. I don't remember much from my first time, except that there wasn't anything noteworthy and the ramen wasn't too good. I bought one of the lunch bento boxes recently and it was below my expectations. I ordered the eel lunch bento box over the phone and asked to substitute the California Roll for a Salmon Roll, and they were happy to accommodate. The price was like 10 bucks, which was pretty cheap too. When I picked up my order and brought it home, I was pretty disappointed. First of all, the two pieces of shumai that were advertised on the menu were nowhere to be found. Also, they didn't substitute my California Roll, which isn't the worst, but whatever. Now for what was actually in the box. 3 small pieces of eel, fried rice, California roll, green salad, and miso soup. The eel was surprisingly decent, but they were such small pieces that it was hard to enjoy it. The fried rice was your typical run-of-the-mill Chinese takeout fried rice. Average at best. The roll was a little under average since I immediately tasted the cucumber wasn't fresh. The miso soup tasted like water. The craziest thing was that the salad was really tasty. The ginger dressing was memorable and the salad was fresh. However, the salad being the best part of the meal didn't leave a good impression on me. I'm willing to try Kushi Izakaya again -- maybe I ordered the wrong thing. read more

I have this food philosophy that if a restaurant tries to do too many different things at once, then they're probably not doing any specific thing well. Nevertheless, he persisted. I've seen them on Seamless/GrubHub a bunch, and finally caved and ordered. I did a scheduled delivery, and not sure if they made my order first and then left it sitting around because most of the hot items were cold by the time they got to me. The fried items - the pork katsu and the soft shell crab were soggy by the time they came. And the salmon belly was room temperature. The katsu was also way overcooked and burnt, but the curry it came with was good. Very Indian/Madras-esque. The soft shell crab was a miss, tiny soggy boy for $6.75 apiece. My dad liked the beef teriyaki, and the sushi with cooked ingredients were alright. Got the dancing eel roll and the dragon roll. I could not find a single menu online that listed what each of the rolls had, so it's a crap shoot. Ended up getting two rolls that were very similar. Oh well. Decent, though their extremely green "wasabi" is sus. Anyway, it was a fine, if completely unmemorable meal. Won't be ordering from them again. read more

A super cute place with a variety of appetizers and dishes! I came with some friends and were seated immediately. First thing I noticed was the one piece theme inside! Super cute! The waitress was super nice and got us water right away. After looking at the menu, I noticed that you can order a variety of things from appetizers to ramen, sushi and even skewers! We got the Chicken karage, chicken/beef yakitori (skewers) and French fries as appetizers since we weren't that hungry. The chicken karage was really crispy and paired well with dipping sauce that came with it. It is a little spicy but not unbearably spicy! For the chicken yakitori, it was a little sweet and didn't taste as good as the beef. I recommend the beef yakitori cause it paired well with the spices. I would recommend eating it hot because when it gets cold the meat doesn't taste as good. The French fries were okay, didn't have much flavor but I used the karage sauce and it was much better! For our "entree" we got some sushi to share. I loved the spicy tempura kani roll! It was crispy and the spicy Mayo added the perfect flavor to the roll. I would definitely come back to try their ramen if I was a little more hungry! For 3 people, the total came out to be around $37, which is pretty decent. I also like that it's not very crowded so it's a great place to hang out with friends. Don't forget to take advantage of their lunch specials (we came late and missed out on it)!! read more

I don't get "soft openings"... is it ready? Not ready? Why are you testing on your customers? Will the food actually taste different after grand opening? Welp. I'll never know because This. Is. A. One. Time. Visit. #thankyounext It is not a real Izakaya. It is not a real ramen place. I'm not even sure what I ate considers to be real food... every single item had issues and I'm afraid to return. (Very). The space is not utilized at capacity, because they have these clunky tables that seats 4 but not breakable to cater for couples. So the wait can be somewhat long... there were 3 of us. Waited a good 10mins; not too crazy. Right after the first lunch rush. (Spot check your seats... we found leftover rice... and oil stain). Service is slow (can be very...). It was frigid out, so we were craving ramen. -Spicy Miso Ramen (2 pieces of char siu, sprouts, fish cake, Bamboo shoot, seasoned egg): verdict - mild spice level, char siu was overcooked, and the noodles... well, you can basically get this at JMart. Frozen aisle.) -Miso Ramen... pretty much the same as above but even more lackluster in flavor. My sister couldn't even finish half of it... -Salt & Pepper Squid, like fried calamari! Thank goodness for fried food! This was the only saving grace! -Skewers: "bacon & mushroom" and "grilled squid"... OMG. Both were undercooked and borderline raw... lighter fluid infused! Not. Kidding. We also got my niece a cucumber & avocado roll... she liked it. It's cooked. LOL Total bill was more than $40... and it was $40 overpaid. Unless you enjoy raw food. Ugh. read more

Don't listen to the other reviews, the customer service was spectacular, and the food was really good :) [[See Pictures For Reference:]] The ladies serving my friend and I were extremely nice. They kept pouring us tea and took away plates when we were done. Our table was never a mess. NOW LET'S GET TO THE FOOD! The pork ramen was better than expected! They gave us double the food than a normal restaurant does! Double the egg, double the pork, double the fish cakes. Also, the broth was very savory. The salmon hand roll was also very delicious, the fish was fresh. The beef tongue and chicken gizzard skewers were very good. The fried oysters AND the saury fish were one of the most delicious! It was very very tasty! Not included in the picture were garlic chicken wings. Those were very good, crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. This place was amazing, will definitely come again. read more

Here to update my review because after ordering again, I realized that my first positive experience with them was probably due to the fact that I was insanely hungry, lol. Now don't get me wrong, I still stand by a lot of what I said in my first review, HOWEVAAAAA I have now come to the conclusion that this spot is a late night backup. A first or maybe second alternate at best. The first time I ordered I could've sworn I chose the Spicy Miso Ramen but when I was placing my order the second time around I noticed that what I actually chose was the regular miso. Sooooo, I figured I might as well try the Spicy since that was what I wanted in the first place. This isn't a restaurant that specializes in Ramen so you can't add any toppings or customize it. It comes as is. When my food arrived, I was actually pretty excited because I knew what to expect, or at least I thought I did. Boy was I wrong. While the regular miso surely wasn't the BEST I've ever had, it was still good. Just not as rich or complex as places that specialize in making broth. The spicy miso on the other hand was just not good. It tasted so strongly of tomato or some type of curry. It was weird and I didn't enjoy it at all. I mentioned in my last review I did not like their chashu and that remained the same. It's not cooked properly. Why is your chashu tough? Not cool. So as you can imagine, I was already expecting a pretty average meal and they didn't even meet those expectations because both the broth and meat (2/3 major components for Ramen) were seriously unappetizing. If I ever do order again, I will stick to the regular miso ramen. They should also seriously consider adding other meat options. Chashu isn't that easy to do for everyone but ground pork, chicken, veggies etc. are pretty attainable! read more

I'm beginning to think "soft openings" are a gamble and it's better to wait for a full grand opening. So far I haven't had good experiences with soft opening restaurants. This place was probably the worst on my list. The food was just down right inedible. The bacon mushroom and squid leg skewers was not cooked all the way. I'm not kidding, they served us raw bacon!!! ugh - (insert puking emoji) The salt & pepper squid which is deep fried was the only decent thing we order. The spicy miso ramen and regular miso ramen both come with the same toppings except one is spicy and one is not. Toppings include 2 pcs of char siu which was not soft and tender, fish cake, bamboo shoots, corn and egg. Both tasted like store bought ramen. The broth was practically water with miso paste. Way too pricey for something that tastes like packaged ramen which cost less than a dollar at supermarkets. Also got a avocado cucumber roll for my daughter which she liked but then again, how can you possibly mess up on that? Overall, this was a waste of money for me. I would not recommend this place for now but go at your own risk if you're still curious to try for yourself. read more
