I had celebrated my birthday at this place twice. I have head about praises about this place so I picked this place a few years back and came back again this year. I love this cozy place with great food and extensive wine list. We ordered some Japanese appetizers. This time we had Wagyu steak tataki. Well-seasoned and tasted so good. We picked this because the Wagyu steak entree was expensive and we wanted to tasted Wagyu with a lower-price option. It didn't disappoint us. We ordered the porterhouse steak. Though it wasn't Wagyu, it still super yummy. The temperature is just as what we ordered, medium rare. And the sauces on the side were awesome. A little bit Japanese favor! Staff were very nice and attentive. I think I will come back again.
Salt + Charcoal is an upscale Japanese steakhouse offering wagyu, sushi and other dishes. Prices are high, so come with that expectation. However, the ambience is great and the food is amazing. Service was attentive and friendly and Domino Park is just 2 blocks away if you want a stroll after dinner!
My friends and I went to Salt & Charcoal to grab a bite before going out, and it did not disappoint. The service was great--our waiter gave excellent recommendations, had no issue modifying items for allergies, and checked in often. The food was everything, and the drinks were great too. We ordered the crab cake, grilled calamari, charcoal-grilled broccoli, and multiple sushi rolls--the Japanese Wagyu roll was our favorite. We will definitely be returning in the near future.
After seeing foodgasm worthy photos of my friend's meal on instagram, Salt + Charcoal has been on my list of "Want to Try" for the past three years. I'd been saving it for a special occasion as my #1 top priority and that occasion finally arose as I was turning 34 this year and my beloved partner booked us a reservation for 7 PM on a crisp Saturday evening. The place comfortable seats about 25 patrons with mixed styles of tables and booths, and this lucky birthday boy was delighted to share the latter with the love of his life. We were seated in one of the booths along the main avenue with flower pots in interesting vases lining the window. The waitstaff all had a hip modern Japanese flair to their dress, and it was clear this was a moonlighting job for these models/actors. There was an extensive alcohol list with many sake's to choose from (yum) as well as the full dinner menu and specials. When shiso shows up on the menu, I immediately get it so I went with the Shiso Mojito while my partner went for a licorice-tasting cocktail I forgot the name to; both were well mixed and interesting. We took a while to choose from the extensive food menu since everything sounded good, but eventually decided on the Japanese Wagyu Roll (so we could have a taste of their Wagyu), the Yellowtail Roll for more shisho leaf goodness, the rib eye special for one which came with their signature wasabi cream sauce, a side of cheese fries and their unique uni filet mignon steak which I'd heard so much about and to which my friend said was an absolute must. Wagyu Roll -- I was worried the truffle oil would be overpowering but it worked really well in the roll. The flavours all worked well together. Although I understand the point of the crunchy potatoe flakes for texture, they were a bit distracting in the roll and I could done without them. Yellowtail Roll -- again, really well-balanced and tasty; the shiso leaf helped cut the potential heavyness of the fish and crabstick, but overall, really well balanced. I liked this one a lot. I'd definitely order either roll again, and might just come back out to have them. I was already getting full at this point, sharing these rolls with my partner, but luckily we had drinks and the steaks took a while to come out. Ribeye special -- medium-rare was the correct choice. The steak on its own was really flavourful and that 60 day (?) aging really worked wonders for it, even if it wasn't wagyu. It doesn't matter though, it was incredibly tasty and I'd come back for this again 110%. Uni Filet Mignon -- I really really wanted to love this...but it was too much. The filet mignon sits on the bottom with a layer of ikura (salmon roe) with uni on top of that. It sounds great in practice, but is way too much umami at once. The uni and ikura really overpower the dish, so much so that you can't taste the beef at all. I actually had to spread it off to try and see what the meat tasted like (delicious, obviously, but not as good as the rib-eye). The bed of watercress was a good compliment that gave lightness to the dish since everything else was so strong flavoured. Overall, I'm eagerly awaiting another opportunity to come back to Salt + Charcoal, but I'll be more deliberate about the choice of meat next time.
Really nice and cozy spot to come and eat. I would even say a romantic spot. The place is a cross between Peter Luger and Japanese Sushi. Delicious dry aged steak you can enjoy medium rare, and incredibly fresh sushi ingredients with toasty seaweed you roll yourself with perfectly steamed white rice. We tried the porterhouse. The service... perfect service without any boogie energy. Just straight great service thru out the meal. All together a really nice treat for the money. We recommend it, it made for a great date for wifey and I.
Believe the hype. I was so very pleased with my experience at Salt+Charcoal! It started with the ambiance. What a wonderful looking restaurant. We were taken downstairs to a very intimate room. The servers were so kind and helpful. We ordered a few apps, salad, and the porterhouse. Nothing disappointed. First off, they have course times down to a science. We weren't rushed and we weren't waiting. It almost felt like the moment we were ready for the next course it was at our table. The food is sensational. The reviews don't lie! I will be coming back again, for sure!
Had higher expectations for this place based on some reviews. It is a small restaurant with limited amount of seating inside. The service was a bit slow. Ordered the porterhouse for 2, two sushi rolls, tuna tartare and S+C baked potatoes. The porterhouse was a bit underwhelming and was not as flavorful compared to other steaks I've had. It definitely needed the addition of herb and butter as well as two other sauces. The tuna tartare was fresh and complimented well with the nori sheets. The sushi rolls were a bit overpriced and were just okay.
Just had the amazing Brunch at Salt and Charcoal in Brooklyn. We tried the new Brunch menu : DIY Temaki hand-rolls. The set include the A5 wagyu tartare, A5 wagyu+ uni, ikura, avocado, cucumber & egg for $38. It was so fun to make the hand roll by ourselves, Plus the New York strip steak was insanely tender. Come and check this place out! Follow @spinx17 for more NYC food recs!
5 stars! Another great restaurant experience in Williamsburg. I'm not a red meat or steak eater although restaurant clicks.com rates them #1 in steaks and they are rated in front of Peter Lugar. The main floor has booth seating, regular seating and a full bar. There is outside seating with heaters for the cold weather. They also have seating down stairs which has a nice room with a full wine selection that you can request on the weekends. It's also available for private parties and it has a full sound system and disco ball. Service was AWESOME!! our waiter Tee was on point and what I liked most was that he explained all the dishes the came out and what to expect in flavor. He also explained how they were able to achieve the flavor. It's a comfortable space and all of the wait staff were exceptional. They work well together and hep each other so no customers are left hanging. Again, staff and service was great. I can't see anyone not having a great time. We ordered just the right amount of food. Started with the charcoal grilled edamame which had a smoke flavor. It was definitely different than any edamame I have had in the past. The best part was the crab cake, fresh lump, home made with no fillers just crab. It is accompanied by a Wasabi cream sauce that has a nice kick. We ordered 3 rolls, the Japanese Wagu roll, the Shrimp Crunch roll and the Damon roll. All of them had a flavor of their own. Good size portions and each roll had a distinct flavor. Ion the host was very outgoing, got us in even without a reservation on a Saturday night. I would highly recommend Salt & Charcoal for a great experience. They are open every day from 5:30 pm to midnight. You can book your reservation through Resy.
Unique and classy with incredible food! Came here on Valentine's Day which is much different experience than a regular meal, so some the anecdotes may not apply, but I would definitely come back her for a date night meal. The restaurant let us know that Valentine's Day was going to be ore-fixe at $160 a person without drinks. Now I wasn't planning on spending much more on a fancy meal but sticker shock went away when we were sat and given the menu. Each course was SO interesting from flavor to the presentation, and the 8oz steak was a delight. The sushi was a notably delicious bite and the matcha cake was also quite stellar. The wait staff were very quick, we even out paced the couple next to us who were sat first, and that couple decided to have a problem with it, which the staff were so friendly and apologetic (though it wasnt there fault). I have to say the steak was truly something to come back for and my date got the duck - which was outstanding as well. Really a classy and unique steak house that's worth the visit.
Great great service and food. Small location but everything they do they do very well. From the drinks. To the sushi. To the entrees. Everything was absolutely delicious. Started with the Kale Salad, which I thought would have been so so. Turns out it was absolutely delicious! Just a really great place. Will absolutely return.
I decided to come here for my birthday dinner with the bf. This is a quaint little restaurant on the corner - it's not a huge space but it's put together well. Excellent service - very attentive, informative & polite. Food was great! The steak with that herb butter was everything. I loved the wagyu roll which was one of their specials for the day. Most wine bottles were decently priced- I ended up with the only Rośe bottle they had available. I'm glad I was allowed to taste it first. It was nice, loved the way it hit on the nose. My bfs cocktail was delicious and refreshing. Be prepared to spend $$$ because this place wasn't cheap. Especially the wagyu steaks which we did not get because I didn't want to do that to my man's wallet haha. I think it was something like $180 for an 8oz wagyu? And $270 for a 12oz? Maybe I sound cheap but no thank you. Overall, I would come again but only on a special day. Since it was my birthday I allowed myself to be spoiled. Sharing the steak was a great idea especially because it's summer and its hard to stuff yourself. After the salmon, sushi roll, bottle of Rośe (which I mostly drank) and literally 2 slices of that thick, juicy steak with assorted veggies - I was absolutely content.

Had a reservation for 6pm and the restaurant wasn't too busy. We came here to try the steak for two and it was cooked a perfect medium rare! The steak was flavorful and delicious. We wanted to order the steak tartare as well but unfortunately we were not able to do so because there was no sushi chef to prepare it for the day. The baked potato was alright, nothing special about it. The star of the show was the steak. I would recommend getting the steak when you come here! read more
AMAZING FOOD -- uni + wagyu are best friends and that's no lie. Get the uni wagyu roll and uni filet mignon!!! Perfect medium rare steak cooked to perfection. Even the lotus chips they give you in between dishes to munch on were AMAZING. Seriously, where the recipes at. Or sell them to me in big bags (PLEASE)! But the grand finale was the matcha cake... MATCHA CAKE WAS SO GOOD. I dream about it sometimes. Intense matcha flavor and SO MOIST AND DENSE. I would come back just for the matcha cake and I'm not even that big of a matcha fan. Go already. read more

It's been a few years since I visited for dinner. Things have certainly improved. Service was ok, not fabulous but food was great. We ordered - kale salad - crab cakes - sashimi - nasu & mushroom - porterhouse for 2 Everything was very tasty and fresh. Steak cooked to perfect temperature. If you make a reservation on Seated, they might shove you into the basement. read more
This place has some of the best, most friendliest staff with an amazing menu to match. The sushi is truly the best - so fresh and beautifully prepared. The menu is diverse also which is great if you are going out with people who don't necessarily all want the same thing. The fact that they have amazing sushi and equally amazing steak is very cool! The 30-day aged steaks are well worth their price. I love that the kitchen is visible from certain tables too - it is so fun to watch the chefs work their magic! The drink menu is really amazing as well with some really finely crafted cocktails, and sometimes the bartender will even come to our table to help us figure out which drink to match with our entree! This os the kind of place where they will remember you if you come frequently. I love their friendly service. read more
It's okay, overpriced for what you are getting. Tuna Tartar - alright Uni & Wagyu Roll - it's good but at the price point they could use even better quality. Crunchy Oyster - fav appetizer also recommended by the waiter Smoked Duck - I don't think the smoke does much more like just for the show. Duck was overcooked on the tough side Steak - really good read more

A place that's always been on my go to list. A bit on the pricier side but it was absolutely worth it. From the service to the food it was amazing all around. We were sat in the cellar and the ambiance was great, the servers were very attentive, the food came out in good time and although a more upscale place, the portions were pretty big. We started out with the sake flight which was pretty cool and an ample amount. Followed by the wagyu tartare which was great and extremely tender. The fried oysters came next and it was phenomenal, fried perfectly and very juicy. The porterhouse was cooked perfectly (medium) and was amazing. Will definitely be returning. read more

I got the dry aged ny strip and duck breast with fries. The steak was great but there was SO MUCH fat. About 1/4 of the steak was fat, I think I would have enjoyed it way more if it were less fat chunks since the flavor was good. The duck breast was smoky and delicious. I wasn't able to finish the duck breast. I brought the leftovers back home and I reheated it back up the next day. It tasted pretty good still. The presentation was amazing. I think I would come again but I would just try the wagyu steak instead... read more

Not worth the drive. Saw their uni filet mignon and thought it would be the ultimate surf n turf, but it wasn't: A costly mistake. The service was good; just wished the food was better. read more

So far I'm blown away. The crab cakes were a winner. It didn't taste fried and wasnt filled in with alot of random things. It was legit crab meat. I also had some type of roll cant remember the name. I'm anti sushi but I'm proud of myself for trying it. It wasnt bad but just not my thing. Now those cheese fries- nice and crunchy made with real rich cheese. Delicious The passion fizz was nice and bubbly. Similar to a passion fruit mimosa. Next I had the Tempranillo. It matched perfect with my porterhouse steak. It was juicy and flavorful. I cant say it was the best ever but I would come back again. The lobster was a good match. There were so many different sauces that I just mixed and dipped them all. This restaurant is kinda sexy. Dimly lit, a mix of throw back music and new school on a soul vibe. I love the fact i could see the food being prepared. My sis had the snapper and they deboned it right in front of us. Before I forget, the mixed veggies had my mouth dripping. I'm dead serious I would come back for that alone. There was brocolli, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, and a big tomato. Just perfect. This was worth the drive. read more
We were seated outdoors at Salt + Charcoal for an early Valentine's Day dinner (Feb 13th). We were told there would be a 2 hour limit to our table, which we thought was more than generous. The restaurant seemed busy but service was quick, friendly and "safe." All staff wore masks and gloves. Not sure if it's because dining out is such a rare occasion but this was the best meal since dunno when!!! Both of us shared the Porterhouse for two with 2 appetizers. We also had maybe 3-4 drinks between the two of us. Steak was perfectly cooked, tender, flavorful and juicy. It paired really well with their house Cabernet, and I highly recommend that combination. Also you must must MUST try the crunchy oyster. It comes with this ultra umami garlic butter sauce that I still think about weeks later. Our total post tip and tax was pricy $$$$ BUT... Valentine's Day is 1x/year and we chose this restaurant wanting to splurge after saving up all through 2020. I highly recommend!! read more
Salt and Charcoal reminds me of St. Anselm. A cozy steakhouse that specializes in grilling gigantic cuts of meat over a charcoal grill. The staff gets 5 stars for being the kindest and most accommodating people to serve in a restaurant. Yuzu wedge salad - nothing amazing about this. Doesn't look like a wedge and you don't taste much Yuzu. The salmon roll was very good. This thing is leveled up with all the bells n whistles. The crab cake was fresh but that meant it smelled very fishy. Some liked. Some didn't. Branzino. It was good but lacked flavor that would have made it a real winner. It was our fault we even got a fish at a steakhouse but the table needed options. The 50 day aged porterhouse for 3 was a very good cut of meat. Cooked to perfection in some sections, a little too well in others. But generally, it was fantastic. Organic veggies were actually impressive. Fries were just fries. Green matcha cake was delicious. Intense matcha flavor and incredibly moist. read more

Came here for dinner, enjoyed the small quiet ambient that this restaurant has. Service was also really good. When you first walk in you see there is a nice full bar on the left then on the right is where the seating is. Then at the end on the left you see their open kitchen where they cook their steaks. Very nice and clean. So we mostly came for their Uni filet mignon. The steak was cooked perfectly with tons and tons of uni. I mean mountaintop. I would definitely come back and try the rest of their menu. read more
Made reservations via yelp and was excited to check out this Japanese steak house. We arrived 15 minutes earlier and the guy was nice enough to let us wait inside since it was pouring cats and dogs. Menu and selections are on the pricey end, like the uni shooter with black truffles is $28 but is just so good. We had the uni fillet mignon to share for $160. Cooked medium. Water service was on point. Yummy matcha cake for desserts. read more

If you have eaten at a steak place in Japan and like authentic Japanese food then you will love this place. I have been following them on IG and what got my wife was their grill taco aka octopus. They got me at dry aged steaks and Wagyu A5. As I looked at the menu, looking around from the dry aged steaks in the refrigerator to watching them cook right in the glass windows, I was on sensory overload. Of course we had to try the Charcoal Grilled Octopus ($21) which was simmered to perfection. It was glistening in a miso garlic butter, shichimi pepper, scallions with a dash of spicy oil to give it a kick. Micro cilantro, and amaranth was nicely added. Tuna tartare ($18) nice tuna chopped finely with diced avocado, scallions, tosa soy, and sesame oil that is all mixed into a bowl which you put on dried seaweed. It's kind of like making your own mini handroll. It was so delicious. Wagyu Sushi ($22) it is exactly like you think. Thin sliced Wagyu beef on rice that will knock your socks off. Uni & Wagyu Beef Roll ($19). Thin sliced Wagyu beef with fresh uni that will melt in your mouth. You slide it on to the dried seaweed with shisho and scallions and it becomes a handroll that your mouth hasn't tasted before. On to the main entrees. 50 Day dry aged Jyikusei New York Strip Steak ($47). Nicely done to perfection 14oz steak with herb butter, soy, lemon onion sauce and wasabi cream sauce and it came with some watercress. I ate the whole thing. My better half got the Lamb Chop which in her opinion was one of the best lamb chops she has ever eaten. overall... Yes we would most definitely come back as they were out of the Japanese Prime Wagyu Sirloin which I was dying to try. Salt & Charcoal keep up the great service and awesome food. read more
A superb experience. I came here for indoor dining and reserved a table for 2 through yelp. We arrived on time, and did not have to wait despite the place looking packed at a glance. There were seats downstairs. We ordered the uni waygyu roll which was something I just wanted to experience. It was my first time trying uni and wagyu. The wagyu wasn't anything special in my opinion. As for the uni, where has it been all my life? Next, we ordered the 30 day porterhouse steak which was soft, and cooked to perfection. It was interesting that one side was a sweet wine flavor, and the other side tasted a bit smokey (the waiter told us the flavor but I forgot). The waiter also asked me which side I liked more. I enjoyed the sweet wine flavor while my partner enjoyed the other. However, I like the quality of the steak on the other flavor more. He said it's because its the filet mignon and there's not much cuts of that. (Shout-out to the waiter for teaching me.) I also enjoyed their steak sauce. It's tangy and not too sweet. We also ordered the cheese fries, which came in a bucket. Not the best fries I had but fries is fries and the portion was generous. The japanese candy at the end was a good treat too and service was good. Overall, I enjoyed this place and would come back. It's great that martha's bakery is a block away so there's a go-to for desserts. read more
Don't know why I thought it was a good day to do outside dining on the coldest day of the winter so far, but that's exactly what I did this past Saturday afternoon with my best friend. We had been vintage shopping in the area and got really hungry. However, most of the restaurants we were seeing didn't have an enclosed area, which we couldn't get down with (sorry!). I spotted Salt + Charcoal's heated lamps over each table of their enclosed outdoor dining area and bee lined for the entrance. My homeboy and I were so happy to see those heated lamps! The staff were super friendly. There were two gentlemen working and they told us to choose where we wanted to sit and handed up menus plus water right away. They answered a bunch of questions we had about the menu and were pleasant from beginning to the end (which is sadly not a general level of customer service in NYC). My bestie had the filet mignon burger and I decided to live a little on the wild (bougie) side and try the fried oyster burger. I'd never even had more than 2 oysters in my life, but that was the only pescatarian burger option I had so why tf not! They had a bunch of sauce options that you could order for an additional fee. My friend got the teriyaki sauce and wasabi cream. The burgers came with hot, crispy fries. My friend enjoyed his filet mignon burger. He said it was high quality stuff and that he'd recommend it to anyone who's seriously about their steak. My fried oyster was an acquired taste but it was a pleasant experience! It seemed as if the oysters were air fried. There was barely any grease, which I enjoyed. It tasted really fresh and with the sauces my friend ordered that I added, it was a smash hit! I'm glad I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try it out. For beverages, my friend has the passion fizz cocktail (passion fruit purée and Prosecco). I asked for a hot toddy and was told that the bartender wasn't in but that my waiter would try his best to make it to my liking. He did a great job! It might've been the best hot toddy I had so far. I was extremely grateful for that excellent customer service experience on that frigid day! I hope to return again. Thanks for having us, Salt + Charcoal! read more
Have been wanting to try this place ever since seeing their uni filet minion. This restaurant is worth the $$$. The service and food were all delicious. Every single thing we got was so good. My favorite two dishes were actually the sesame crusted salmon and the crab cakes. We also got the cheese fries which were a good side and the portions were quite large. The uni filet minion was so yummy and the steak melted in your mouth. The salmon roe and seaweed sauce were so savory and complimented the steak well. It was definitely pricey ($192) but the portion size is large and you can definitely share it with another person. read more
We were seated near the back, where you can get a view of the kitchen behind a big glass window. It was cool we were able to see our steak and other dishes made. Best view you can ask for. We started off with the tuna tar tar which I wouldn't recommend. While it was delicious, I felt like I could have done without the dish since its just a fancier and more expensive poke. But I do give kudos to the presentation was beautiful. It's served in a bamboo chute then the server mixed them together with a mortar and pestle. I loved how the dishes here were so theatrical. I was worried about all the wasabi they added in but you barely taste it in the dish. Pair wonderfully with the seaweed, which they charge extra when you ask for more which we didn't know. The main star uni filet migon came out next. It was beautiful topped a thick layer of uni on top, followed with fish row and salad. Such wonderful layering. I usually don't eat steak by itself but it went so well with the other toppings. It's rare when a place is that generous with uni. I highly recommend sharing this dish with others unless you are a steak lover and can finish it on your own. Best surf and turf anybody can ask for. Overall I would highly recommend this Japanese steakhouse for a special occasion since this won't be a cheap dinner. read more

We made last minute reservations on a Sunday night to try this place out. Overall the food and service was good. We started off with a few appetizers and then shared two main dishes (all amongst 4 people). 1. Shishito peppers - these were delicious! Just the right amount of flavor and you could still taste the peppers - most of them weren't spicy but got a few that had a slight kick to them. 2. Kaisou Salad - the yuzu dressing made the salad so refreshing and delicious. It had 4 different types of seaweed salad which gave it a nice texture. The cucumbers and daikon gave the salad an added crunch. The daikon was flavorless so it tasted very bland - almost expected more of a pickled flavor to it. 3. Tuna tartare - this was a nice light appetizer. I really liked the sesame seeds mixed into the tartare. They provided seaweed paper to wrap the tuna in - just a little bit allows you to get the flavor from the seaweed paper and tuna together. 4. Salmon Roll - after eating the other 3 appetizers we felt our appetite open up so decided to order the salmon roll. The roll was good - tasted like sushi that you can get at any other sushi restaurant. 5. 30 day Jyukusei New York Strip Steak - this was ok. Probably the least favorite of the meal. We had asked for the steak to be cooked medium rare but it basically came out rare. 6. Fresh Smoked Duck Breast - this was probably the most favorite of the meal. The meat was so easy to cut and every bite was so tender. They had a scallion sauce and balsamic sauce that came with the duck which paired really nicely. 7. We pretty much got every dessert item to try - matcha cake, matcha affogato and ice cream (matcha and black sesame). The matcha cake paired with the vanilla ice cream was really good. The cake had the right amount of matcha flavor - not too much where it would've been bitter. read more
5/5 solid. Partner and I ordered - charred edamame ($6 MUST GET.) Super charred, the perfect amount of salt on it and very flavorful. - wagyu sushi ($22) Good appetizer, you wouldn't have even known you were eating raw beef but it was splendid with the soy sauce and garlic chip on top. - dry aged New York strip steak ($47 I believe) Delicious dry aged piece of meat. Right amount of char and was a good medium rare all throughout which made each bite amazing. - wagyu sirloin ($120?) A MUST GET!!!!!! The best thing you'll ever taste. (Imo) came with salt, pepper, garlic chips and wasabi on the side. Use them accordingly and top your delicious beef. It was so good, we should've gotten the 12oz. - French fries I would pass on it but it complimented our meal well. Wasn't necessary. The service was awesome, I forgot our server's name but he was very approachable, helped us with any questions we had and was extremely kind. He was attentive, made sure our water was filled and made sure everything was ok. Thank you Salt + Charcoal. I hope to be back one day for another amazing meal! read more
Overall a great meal and great service. Steaks are dry aged in house. They are busrting with flavor and super tender. Things I think they can improve on is seasoning. Everything was just slightly under seasoned from the steak to the herb butter. The roasted potatoes was topped with a bit to much herb butter. The Waygu Tartare lacked any flavor. I've never had Japanese Waygu but I understand it to not have a intense beef flavor however the tartare was bland. The perfectly aged steaks made up for the slight misses read more

Came here recently for dinner with a few friends and we definitely enjoyed the food here. We all shared a couple appetizers and entrees. The staff was very friendly as well and explained each dish that came out with the accommodating sauces. Prices are fairly reasonable for the kinda food they serve. For apps, we got the grilled octopus and Uni & Wagyu beef rolls. Both were delicious! I'm not a huge fan of uni typically but mixed with the wagyu and the sauce, I didn't mind it much. The Wagyu was really tender and buttery. Yummmm. For entrees, we did the NY strip, lamb chops, and the duck breast. The duck breast wasn't great for me, it was way too tough to chew and I didn't like the flavor too much. The lamb chops and the NY strip were great though. Both were very tender and flavorful. I got the rice waffle with ice cream for dessert and was slightly disappointed. The rice waffle wasn't crunchy, it was actually kinda stale. Regardless though, great place and will definitely be back. read more
Five stars for combination of great service and delicious food! We came for dinner for a party of three. I would order the same things again from the assorted sushi, steak and branzino, cocktails and matcha dessert. It was a fun outing with an elegant experience. I really do like the service here. It's professional and personal. The decor is nice and clean with REAL plates and utensils. The nice candle on the table was a simple touch for when the sun was coming down. We stayed through the evening and the temperature dropped. I hope they plan on getting heaters, if so we will be back before winter hits! But it was getting very cold late at night. Everything we ate was fresh and flavorful. Super filling and delicious. I do recall the shoshito peppers served with their sauce and it was so different from other places I've had before. --Very good!! Temperature of the food was served perfectly chill (sushi) and warm/ hot steak and shoshito peppers. Staff are all following covid protocols with mask and gloves. We look forward on coming back especially for another round of dirty martinis. read more

The vibe, the food, the experience was just amazing. My favorites were The best salad I've ever had! I can still taste it. Wagyu tar tar- just melts in your mouth you can't even tell it's raw meat! I love a good seasoned steak w/ some chew too. My fellow steak lovers will know. :) This restaurant has a little bit of everything done right. Chefs kiss. I would say one thing our crispy oyster tacos did come out a big soggy and runny. Definitely coming back. read more

I can't tell you how much I loved this place and my dining experience here. This being my first Michelin experience, I didn't know what to expect but can now understand why they have the great ratings. The service was A1 and the food was so even better! I celebrated my birthday here on a friday around 7pm. We made a reservation on yelp an hour before and came after work. My only complaint would be the spacing as I came with a friend, we were seated at a small table for 2 which felt a little tight but other than that I loved the whole experience. We ordered 5 items: Tuna tartar Kimpachi sushi roll Uni&wagyu beef NY Strip steak Food: Tuna tartar was delicious with a touch of wasabi but you can barely taste the wasabi which was awesome because I can't hand it too much. They added rice cracker to give it extra crunchy and sesame oil to add flavor and it seemed like the perfect combination. The kimpachi roll was fresh. Uni&waguyu roll was fresh, flavorful and smooth. The uni was sooo creamy that you can tell it was fresh. I'm not a big fan of meat that is not fully cooked but with the wagyu, it was so smooth and fat that It didn't feel like I was chewing on raw meat. The steak was even better. We had ordered it medium rare and the whole thing except the outside came pink. Although I was pretty intimidated but the pink meat, it definitely didn't taste bloody or raw. All in all I loved this restaurant and can't wait to bring my friends here! Service: We were greeted at the front desk by a staff that someone would be right with us. We then were brought to our seats. The staff were super nice and attentive to us, they would refill our cups and take away the dishes when they saw we were down with our dishes. I feel like they were really thoughtful too because all of our dishes came in a sequence and the staff members would provide us with the utensils we needed for the potential next dish. For example when our sushi was about to served, the staff members quickly brought out the soy sauce and small sauce trays along with chopsticks and when we were done and ready for our New York strip, they took all the utensils and trays seats and brought out knives and forks for us. read more
This place is a new discovery for Japanese style steak! If you love uni then you will have to come here. Everything is just amazing at this place. We booked a reservation through yelp because they're not on opentable yet. They have a nice bar area to wait for tables as well. The cocktails are really good here. I ordered the Yuzu mojito and it was amazing! For the appetizers, we started with wagyu beef roll and edamame. The wagyu beef roll comes with raw meat on top of sea weed and topped with uni. They put some sauces on them and they have extra salt to dip on the serving plate. It was the best wagyu uni I've ever eaten in the city! The edamame was roasted and tasted really good. The steak takes about 45 mins to come out so you should definitely order some apps to start so you don't get hangry! For the main course, we had the uni steak with a side of cheese fries and a side of roasted veggies. We ordered the steak medium rare but it came out on the rare side. We ate it anyway because it was really yummy! It was topped with so much uni and salmon roe. It was served on top of vegetables and sesame seeds. DELICIOUS!!! The cheese fries were yummy because they mixed sweet potatoes and regular fries together. The roasted veggies were a great combo of broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, potatoes, and beets. It was served with anchovi oil and a cream sauce. The price of the steak was 138 dollars but it's enough to share between 3-4 people if you get sides and apps. The bill came out to be about 115 per person for us because we had a bottle of wine. They also serve a great selection of sake and some Japanese beers. Definitely worth a trip to Brooklyn for this meal!!! read more
