In another world had we not consumed 3 matcha lattes today already, we would've tried the matcha mochi ice cream. Instead, we got the hojicha mochi ice cream. It was still super yummy, the mochi was so stretchy and soft and the hojicha tea taste was strong! There were jellies and red bean at the bottom too which I wasn't expecting, so it was a pleasant surprise! Only downside is that it was super messy and difficult to eat.

I visited Japan Village over the weekend for the first time. I know for sure that I haven't seen…read moreeverything it has to offer, but just from yesterday's experience, it gets 5 stars from me! There's so much to discover and experience there. Japan Village offers two dedicated floors with a wonderous assortment of eateries, shops, and courtyard areas at Building 3/4. The Loft on the 2nd floor also offers family friendly areas that kids can enjoy. I saw they also hold events and performances on occasion, and there are also displays and information about Japanese culture and events in the NYC-area (e.g. Japan Cuts: Festival of New Japanese Film '26 at Japan Society). I love the murals that decorate the hallways and walls in the courtyard. We had a lot of fun yesterday.

This is a neat place where the shopping (the cute dollar type store) outweighs the food. I would…read moreabsolutely go here more often if it was not almost 1.5 hours from my house. It was a fun experience for my son but my daughter has celiac disease and the only thing she could eat was ice cream. This is a common problem for her since wheat is in a ton of food. Since she is not used to this ice cream style, she didn't like it, but that's not on the vendor. My son enjoyed his ramen bowl. He said the sushi was in between a Japanese restaurant and store prepackaged and it was edible it just didnt knock his socks off. Overall a nice experience. I would love it if there was something like this in NJ

It is a little confusing finding Momo Test Kitchen because if you drive google maps directs you to…read morethe parking lot in the back. Good thing we ran into someone who directed us to where the front of the building was. I don't come to this area of Brooklyn often, so I wanted to order everything I was interested in. I like how everything is made fresh, and portion size was good for the price. I got take out and it was a long trek home, so I took a bite out of each item at pick-up so that I could give a fair review.: Chicken Katsu Sando ($9.50) - Fried chicken was moist, white milk bread was fluffy, but I wish there was a little more tonkatsu sauce for each bite. Tamago Sando ($9) - This was my favorite item. I enjoyed the creamy chunks and the whole egg sliced in half. Eggs were not over cooked. Great balance and good flavor. White milk bread was fluffy. Tuna Mayo ($3.50) - The cooked tuna and mayo was flavorful and there is a decent amount of filling inside, but I still have my other go to place for onigiris. You have to eat this one quickly because the nori will lose the crunch since it's directly touching the rice. Eel avocado roll ($7) - I enjoyed their BBQ eel sauce, but the portion size of the eel was significantly smaller than that of the other 2 rolls. Spicy Tuna Roll ($7) - Spicy tuna was fresh and flavorful. I preferred this over the salmon avocado roll. Salmon Avocado Roll ($7) - Salmon was fresh and portion was good, but the salmon did lack the slight sweetness I enjoy from high quality raw salmon. The sushi rice for all 2 rolls was nicely made as well. There was not too much vinegar, so it did not mask the natural taste of the fish. Complemented well.

I have been wanting to come check out this place for so long and finally got a chance to check them out today. Everything is super fresh and they have the kindest staff!

On the far left corner in Japan Village lies a ramen stall where you can order your food and sit at one of the nearby tables to dine in. The only downside is there are limited amount of seats at the counter and tables that are generally reserved for people eating. For a quick bite, you might have better luck at another place as this place does get packed. My visit, I think I was fortunate to have found a spot because my ramen bowl took a bit of time to make. For my bowl, I got the Black Garlic Tonkotsu DX. It consisted of four pieces of Chashu Pork, Bamboo Shoots, Scallions, Bean Sprouts, Cabbages, and Egg. A very simple dish but when executed right it is delicious. This was very flavorful after the first sip, I think it may be a tad salty ( as with much ramens ) but I enjoyed slurping down noodles and enjoying everything else in the bowl. I would say check this place out after a long day of shopping/visiting the rest of Japan Village. This bowl put me to sleep on my way back to my own state when I took the train ride home!

But it unfortunately it turned out to be Very Bad one. Even I could say Menya Sandaime (Korean owned) is still better. The soup is very pale, tasteless, I wonder why this can be said Tonkotus? Charshu pork really not juicy hopelessly dried and distaste, it's like a pork jerky or shoe sole. Menya Sandaime's charshu is much nicer. The noodle is "thin" I don't like the thin noodle, maybe it's OK. But I don't know what to say but Very Very boring Ramen, it's really got NO Ramen sprits. Honestly I must say I wasted $17. I hope Santoka-Ramen should replace this Ramen shop at Japan village. Let me say for the last, I'm really really disappointed!!
