    Crazy deals! The lunch special is 2 rolls, edamame or shumai, soup and salad for only $11!! Or 3 rolls for $14!! This is like pre-pandemic prices and the food was fresh.

    Feast in Summer
    Vivian T.

    Feast in Summer One of the wonders of the reopened City is the vibrant scene of restaurants new and seasoned. Sushi Yu next to Prospect Park in Brooklyn is one of them. The delicacy of the sashimi depends not only on the in house preparation, but also on the coordination of international shipping from places such as Asia. Chef Tony has good news for his clients. The restaurant is reopened with flair. Master Chefs Andy and Tony set the tone for the cuisine Japanese. Additionally, new chefs have joined in. Their consistent effort has brought the summer feast to a peak. I for one, have been impressed again and again by the beauty and taste of what is in front of me. "Should I devour it?" is always a challenging question to myself. Recently, the sumptuous portions of salmon, tuna, slender long shrimp sat in the garden of red and yellow veggies on the porcelain plate. It was accentuated by a sake bottle with a surprise green leaf. The imaginative hand of the Chef with glasses had enlivened the pieces of vermilion, burgundy and translucent cream in the freshly sculpted Chirashi Sushi.

    Grilled squid appetizer
    Vaughn F.

    Came in for sushi this afternoon, just missing the 4 PM cutoff for lunch specials. My girlfriend and I decided to share a few items, and we quickly put in an order. A couple mosquitoes buzzed around our back table, so we moved to a booth at the front. The miso soup ($2) came out first. Hot and robust, perhaps a touch sweet. Plenty of seaweed and tofu. Next, the grilled squid appetizer ($10). The dish I received seemed a few rings smaller than those in other people's photos; slightly disappointing. Still, the squid was cooked nicely, the texture was excellent, and I liked the flavor a lot. The sauce was poured on a bit heavy, but overall, decent starter. We ordered 2 pcs. unagi sashimi ($7), and received a couple small strips of eel. Tasted fine, nothing special, could've done with a larger serving. The salmon avocado roll ($5.50) was similarly middle-of-the-road. Overall, average sushi experience, bordering on meh. I might come back for a lunch special to try a few other menu items. Next time, I'll wear long pants, in case there are more mosquitoes.

    I order fried salmon I received this an absolute disgrace, plus forgot my eel sauce I couldn't enjoy my dry sweet potato roll. I came back to chef not wanting to give me a refund customer service on 0 he told me to to fuck offf

    What a great meal! We shared the Kaishin don, mentai pasta, and then 2 rolls between 2 of us. We…read morewere originally just going to order one roll but then the waitress told us it wouldn't be enough food but then we ended up having a ton of leftovers, so next time I wouldn't order that again. The Kaishin don was the star. The fish was so fresh and the seaweed added a nice crunch. The mentai pasta was nice a creamy and the bacon bits added nice flavor. The rolls were also good but nothing to write home about so I might sub these for another dish the next time. Service was great and will definitely find myself back here at some point!

    Ozakaya has been high on my list since I heard about it a few months ago, so my friend and I went…read morefor dinner this past Friday. Reservations become available 14 days in advance on Resy, so I'd highly recommend booking early to secure a table during normal eating hours. Sadly, since it was just the two of us, we couldn't sample as much of the menu as we wanted. Our server recommended a hot appetizer and a fancier option from their Summer Special menu: KARAAGE - 14 Each order came with five thick pieces of chicken karaage. The chicken arrived hot and juicy, seasoned well enough to be enjoyed on its own or dipped in the side of shichimi mayo. This was a great appetizer to share, and I'd recommend it if you're looking for a reliable classic. TEMAKI SET - 95 Served in roughly an 8"x8" wooden box, this set was lavishly topped toro, Hokkaido uni, ikura, and possibly Iberian ham, with crispt nori sheets on the side to make DIY handrolls. After scooping a bit of everything into a little wrap, I was greeted with the most intense, fresh sea flavors. The toro and Iberian ham were fatty and buttery, blending seamlessly with the velvety smooth uni and the fresh, bursting pops of ikura. I had to pause after every bite just to deeply savor it, and I lost count of how many times I said, "Wow, this is so good." Since I don't live in NYC, I generally avoid repeating restaurants even if I enjoyed them. However, Ozakaya is an exception to this rule -- it's easily one of the best meals I've eaten during all my recent visits. I don't know where they source their seafood, but it's incredibly fresh and packed with umami. Even days after, I'm still thinking about the velvety sweetness of that uni, and I can't wait for my next visit.

Have never been for…read moredinner so can only speak for the lunch vibe, but I have found the service to be great and the lighting is nice because there are floor to ceiling windows. The menu is pretty diverse with various appetizers, sushi, and also ramen/curry so your standard izakaya fare. One of my favorite dishes here has been the chirashi. The fish was very fresh and it's pretty affordable. I've only ever been here in groups of two and I probably would recommend it for smaller groups because the space itself is small and most of the tables are two-seaters if I recall correctly.

It's been open for a few years, so clearly it has a good enough formula to keep the neighborhood happy. I have been here once before, but returned last week after dining several meals at Tomoni in Jackson Heights. Apparently, the owners are friends. Nonetheless, I needed to make the comparison. After my first few bites of their Tora Don and Chirashi Don, it was clear that this restaurant has the better quality seafood. Each slice of sashimi had vibrant colors, clean taste, and the proper texture. Tomoni is not bad, but fall slightly short of this caliber. With that said, there is an even farther gap between their rice quality. Though Tora is very good, Tomoni produces nearly perfect texture and acidity for my taste buds. Other than the best omakase restaurants in NYC, Tomoni shines as one of the best versions of sushi rice in the five boroughs. Service is good and space is cute. If I have a craving for some decent Japanese food, I would drive 20 minutes here for a meal anytime.

    While wandering through Bed-Stuy on a weekday evening, my husband and I decided to try out this new…read moresushi spot. It wasn't terrible--but I had a lot of mixed feelings. Food: 3/5 I'm a huge sushi fan, so I was excited when I saw a deluxe sashimi set on the menu. Unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark. The scallop was thinly sliced and lacked the rich texture I was hoping for. The salmon and other cuts were decent, but short and oddly shaped--chunky yet small, which made the whole presentation feel a bit off for something labeled deluxe. We also tried to branch out and ordered the short rib entree. For $21, it was shockingly small--definitely a single-person portion, not sharable. I added extra ikura to a salmon donburi bowl for $2, but it was barely a teaspoon's worth--just enough to say it was there. Oddly, the salmon slices in that bowl were thinner than the sashimi we had just eaten, and overall, it left me still hungry even after sharing a maki roll. Lastly, my husband ordered a green salad, which somehow took the entire meal service to arrive. When it finally came, it was just plain romaine, cucumbers, radish, and dressing. For a dinner that clocked in at over $150 (after tip), we definitely left underwhelmed. Service: 3/5 This part wasn't bad, just confusing. We were seated quickly, but the pacing of the meal was strange. Our seaweed salad and soups came out promptly, but the green salad came last, after the hot dishes and nearly after my husband finished eating. Also, a small thing--but when I'm paying $16 for four oysters, I want to know what kind they are. The menu just said "West Coast oysters," but our server couldn't tell us the variety or origin. Not a huge deal, but it added to a general lack of polish that didn't quite match the pricing. I don't think I'd return. For the price, there are better sushi options in Brooklyn with higher quality, better portions, and clearer service. Still, I appreciate new spots opening up in the neighborhood, and I'm always happy to try something new. Hopefully they refine the menu and service with time.

    Izakaya Tenzo is a welcome addition to the BedStuy food scene. They'd been on my radar for a while…read moreand we stopped in on a Saturday evening when we wanted dinner but not anything too heavy. This fit the bill exactly. We started with the salmon belly carpaccio which I'd say isn't really a carpaccio because the salmon isn't sliced as thinly as you'd expect. But! I mention that just to set expectations. Nomenclature aside, it's an excellent appetizer. Served in a truffle and ponzu sauce, the salmon is lightly seared which yields two different textures to the fish. It practically melts in your mouth. Highly recommend this dish. For my entree I went with the trio don, which is 6 pieces of sashimi served over your choice of plain or sushi rice (sushi rice for me). The fish was fresh and flavorful. The portion was perfect for me. My boyfriend ordered a yellowtail roll and enjoyed that as well. We also shared a carafe of the cold house sake. I'd definitely come back and try more items on the menu. It's great for sharing and trying new dishes. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the prices were very reasonable.
