Had the special today, kimchi ramen. Was delicious and I loved the noodles and broth. Flavor was great. The ramen itself was not spicy, but the kimchi was good. The place itself is really cute but it's a small space so seating is not the most comfortable. read more

Limited menu with no real direction. My cocktail was the best thing I had. Sad considering I tried 8 items -all small-that was about half the menu. BS rules like they won't seat the 1st of a party of 2 in an empty restaurant until the 2nd arrives. And we were shorted $4 of our change with no apology when we pointed it out. So many far better places to eat at. Baffled by the high ratings. read more

Atmosphere: whether at the bar or next to the entrance, this place is pretty darn romantic and relaxing. It is a small restaurant but it's expected because of the location, so that's excusable. Service: quick and friendly but not too over bearing which is good because you ain't here to dine with the servers now are you? Food: the spicy tuna roll had a good amount of tuna and the balance of the spice was perfect. The fish taco was alright only because there was too much sauce and it just pour down from the taco when you held it to your mouth, messsssy. Broth for the salmon ramen was lacking flavor but the salmon was cooked to perfection so that was nice. The Hawaiian rice dish was way better than the ramen. The Hawaiian rice dish was the perfect comfort dish with its macaroni and rice and fried chicken. read more

I like this place a lot. Have not ever been disappointed so it deserves 5 stars. The Ramens are excellent. Sushi rolls are good. Cute cozy interior. Staff has always been friendly. Nice sake. As long as you aren't drinking a lot the prices aren't bad and you won't spend a lot. read more

My favorite place in Williamsburg! I've been there over a dozen times and have never had a bad meal. The food is consistently delicious and the staff is attentive, yet not overbearing. Highly recommend trying everything on their menu, especially the ramen, chicken wings, and all sushi! read more

We love your restaurant! Please can you make a veggie broth ramen avail for the winter? Even just to add to the ginger scallion noodle...delicious can't wait to come back, pls make warm veggie friendlier! read more

The Hawaiian chicken bowl looked really good but tasted really bad. I don't know if there is anything HAWAIIAN about Mac &cheese salad underneath the fried chicken with sour sauce and more sour radishes. My friends' ramen was good though. read more

Just had an amazing meal at suzume last night. There is a new head chef and an updated menu. The menu has become very sophisticated and beautiful but still the same affordable price! read more

See all

CASH ONLY! The residential area makes it inconvenient to get cash at a local bank/atm but there is one inside for a small $1.50 fee. This place is a wonderful date spot (ONLY) but maybe not first date though. Unfortunately, the two times I've been here was not on a date, rather, I was hungry and craving a good meal. Its a small, intimate place with a trendy, yet cozy decor. The food was delicious. A small menu that can satisfy many facets of your palate. Can also be paired with a nice selection of cocktails or sake or both. The Masumi sake is my personal favorite. This local spot can get really crowded and have a long wait during rush hour. Since this is a smaller restaurant there's only one bar tender and one server (the second time I was there) so they lacked a bit of service. But thats not to blame when I overheard our server gave the table next to us our delicious, long waited scallop sushi. With no apologies from the server, they had us wait unknowingly for another one, but all of our dishes were also served very slowly like we had a tasting menu except we didnt. By now I'm super hangry!!! Hence, the three stars. So i would recommend this place for a good date night especially if you are trying to stretch out the company time, not if you are hungry and trying to have a good meal in a timely fashion. Food: 4 stars Service: 1.5 stars (but I'll round up to give the 3 star average) read more

Had a great time. Perfect little local spot. Sushi was delicious, fresh and tasty. Beers were cheap. Salmon ramen was hearty with some good veggies and perfect noodles. Definitely going back for a low key dinner that satisfies. read more

I came here after hearing rave reviews about the salmon ramen. It did not disappoint. The broth was delicious, but I wish there was more of it. There were too many noodles for such a yummy broth. Also tried the spicy tuna roll and the spam. Spicy tuna was not too memorable. The spam app was my first time trying spam. I not only enjoyed it, but I really appreciated and respected the dish - I am pretty sure there was canned pineapple in there. If you are going to do a spam dish, canned pineapple it is. Adding it to my list of neighborhood staples. read more

Great spot in Williamsburg. Creative menu and amazing sushi options and ramen. One of the best restaurants in the area.

I felt like Alice who took the little pill before coming in here - with the tiny space, tiny tables and smaller portions - but everything was great quality. The wings in yogurt sauce were spot on, so flavorful and crispy. The bok choy salad was fun, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around the cookie/biscuit topping. The pork ramen broth was rich, so filling even though it was smaller than usual, and very flavorful. read more

Very cute and cozy secret right around the corner from my apartment. I took my girlfriend there for a date night. The staff is welcoming a accommodating. I love the roasted salmon ramen. After writing this I'm definitely heading there for dinner tonight. read more

I came here over the winter with a few friends of mine. We got there right as they opened, so the place was nearly empty and we were seated right away. Somehow, though, it still took us over an hour to get our food. The place did fill up pretty quickly, and our server (who seemed to be the only person in the place other than the cooks) seemed super overwhelmed as soon as the tables filled up. By the time we did receive our food an hour after ordering, the place was packed and we were starving. The food wasn't amazing, just ok. I got the YaoYao ramen which was satisfying, but had a very overwhelming salty pork flavor which I only really enjoyed because of how hungry I was. I also tasted the spam musubi, which was okay but very small and not worth $5. The portions of all our food were very very small for the price. Overall, I'd say it's not a bad place, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

Great sushi and ramen spot. Very reasonable prices, great rolls and great service. Cash only, but has an atm!

This is the best restaurant for a great date night. You can choose from a pretty small menu of well-crafted sushis and ramen. It is absolutely wonderful food, just make sure you bring cash! This place is hard to visit with groups because they have so few tables and don't take reservations. But if you have less than four people and you can stand a 10-15 minute wait, you'll love it. read more

Loved the food at Suzume, I had the Salmon Ramen but my table shared the Poke and rolls which were delicious and kept simple. Everyone was kind and helpful as well, definitely going back. read more

Very cute decor and atmosphere. Was very excited to try this because of the appearance. Had a vegetable rice dish (very accommodating to vegan diet) and shishito peppers (which were amazingly spiced). This place is cash only, but they have an atm inside incase you are short some cash! read more

This is one of my favorite gems in BK. Ramen and sushi are great. Service is amazing. Drinks are delicious. Best place to take someone on a date. Not great for big parties(which I love). It's cozy and has a warm atmosphere. read more

Hands down my favorite place for Ramen and Sushi in Brooklyn. I insist we come every time. The food is consistently high high quality and delicious and the owner (Mikey) and his staff are so nice. It's def a casual, small and intimate place and I love everything about it......I have never ordered something here I didn't love. Can't wait to try the new sister restaurant "Lua Bar"! read more

my husband and I don't ever go longer than 2 weeks without coming back here. the ramen is best in the city, sushi is fresh, tacos are delicious, cocktails are great. the menu is small but they've perfected everything on it. read more

I think this is a good addition in the neighborhood, I typically head to Bozu when I want good sushi, but this is much closer which is nice. We split two rolls--the spicy crunchy tuna with potato and the spicy salmon/avocado/shishito. Both were great quality, and well sized (not that many slices but they weren't skinny). I would consider dropping the price $1 or $2 on each roll--I think you'll make up for it by groups of two ordering more. I appreciate the short menu though. I worry if I wanted to make a meal of sushi and was REALLY hungry this wouldn't be affordable. Anyway, we also tried the butter wings--we thought they might be awesome since they were a little different than everything else on the menu. They need to punch up the flavor on these, they weren't crispy or spicy--basically just buttery. The yogurt sauce could use more flavor as well. All said--still nice to have this place around I think and excited to see what they do. I might suggest they take a look at the menu for Miya's in New Haven. As someone who lives near Suzume I'd love for this to be a place I can drop in for quality, well priced sushi that won't be too expensive. If you cook at home a lot sushi is one of the things you can really justify going out for when you want it near your apartment! read more

I really like this place! Friendly staff, excellent food (love the salmon ramen), not overpriced. The room is a little cramped and crowded for my taste, but the lighting and ambiance are very nice. However, I've gotta take one star away from any place that doesn't take credit cards. You can't pretend to be a grown-up business and not accept credit cards. I'll happily add a star here if Suzume starts taking cards. read more

Cute spot, good service, ridiculous ramen broth, good chicken wings, passable beer selection, excited to go back and try everything.

I had a lovely dining experience at Suzume. I went after peak hours, around 11pm. It's small, quaint, low-lighting, excellent for a date or a quick, low-key bite to eat. The roasted salmon ramen was delectable and the 90s dirty south hip-hop soundtrack put me at ease. read more

Called for a take out order and was told they were to busy to do take out not good and the food was good wow

I go here all the time . The rolls are really fresh. There's a chill Hawaiian vibe , I wAts get the salmon ramen. Everything is good here. Totally Chill staff, not too pricey. The tiger beer is good. Love this place! read more

There is no better cure for a cold night than the delicious ramen at Suzume. Comfort food at its finest.

This is one of my favorite spots in Brooklyn. The ramen is delicious, beer selection is solid and the sushi is amazing. It gets a bit packed and the wait can be annoying but it's for a good reason, the place is great. read more

The food was average. The place is tiny and cramped but I guess you can see the layout prior to eating dinner. I enjoyed the sushi which was my favorite part of the meal. The saki was also great. The Ramen noodle dish with salmon was nothing special. read more

Brought a group, so got to try the yaoyao ramen, salmon ramen, crunchy tuna roll, chicken adobo tacos, and a special of ribs. Both ramen had distinct and delicious broth with noodles that were cooked spot on just a touch under done so they don't over cook in the broth. The rolls were awesome and crunchy topping fun and tasty. Chicken adobo surprising in how well it worked cooked with the spices not stewed in them like normal adobo so it wasn't overpowering or too gooey, the taco shells were so good we half suspected that they made them there. And just hope you go on a night with the ribs, a small plate, five pieces of short ribs. With awesome sauce all over! Almost like a tapas, not ment to be filling but still leaves you happy. The "Cooler" tequila, cucumber and watermelon was smooth and tasty perfect for the warm weather ahead. read more

This is my favorite restaurant and staff, and I'll miss it when I move out of Williamsburg. If I was about to get executed and was asked for my last meal, I think I would choose the Yao Yao ramen from Suzume read more

Great sushi! Super high quality, which isn't easy to find. This is not your regular Japanese joint so you have to know how to order. Took me a minute to get it right. Wings to start- they're not like any I"ve had, buttery, perfect starter. They're way down on the right corner of the menu so you could miss it...but don't. Yum Sushi: You can't go wrong with any of the sushi, it's so fresh, perfect rice to fish balance. Plain excellent. The tuna is seriously the best I"ve ever had. Ramen: When I first checked out the ramen, I wasn't impressed. It was not as rich as I like and there wasn't enough stuff in it, which I guess is a style, but not my favorite. The last two times I've been in though the broth was perfect; they clearly beefed it up. The salmon ramen is my favorite; the pork belly is a close second. Also the place is super cute, kinda like an asian pub or something, it's a great date spot. PLUS- this is a big one: the staff smiles. They ask you what you want. They're(oh my god)friendly. In Williamsburg. Grateful to have Susume in the hood. read more

Suzume is fantastic! The sushi is super fresh and delicately prepared. The Bak Choy salad we ate was a revelation on the proper use of bak choy: raw and lightly dressed, not steamed halfway-to-hell and limp. The Ramen was singularly awesome: the broth has a rich, hearty flavor, the confit of mushrooms were out of this world. Usually, I hate "wings" but they were so well made at suzume that I am thinking of starting a chicken farm. Clearly, the owners have made the best of a very small space, fitting tables, booths, sushi bar, and regular-type bar in this cozy space 1 block from Lorimer L stop. This place proves yet again that there is really no reason to go a Manhattan at all anymore. Brooklyn should secede from the United States, become it's own country, and elect Suzume...King of Brooklyn. read more

Thanks Oscar for sending us to SUZUME a new RAMEN restaurant with Hawaiian flavors on Lorimer St, where the creative Cocktails, GINANJUICE and Fanta Hi set the stage for an exquisite Crunchy Spicy Tuna Hawaiian Roll and Pulled Pork TACOS for me, Chilled Summer Noodles & Ramen Roasted Hake for my friends, all for modest prices Rolls $5-$9 Tacos 2/$7 Noodles & Ramen $10 &$ll.

Just got back from early dinner at Suzume. Excellente! When we got there the palce was pretty empty. By the time we left the place was packed. The waiter was sweet and answered all my questions about the food without pause. The Yao Yao Ramen hit the spot. We needed a good ramen place this side of the BQE. I'll be back! read more

I had Spam Musubi, wings, striped bass sashimi, spicy scallop sushi, and cucumber chilled noodle with mackerel. All the food was fantastic and the quality of sushi was very good. I'll definitely come back. This is what great neighborhood Japanese restaurant should be!! read more

Incredible salmon ramen! Great vibe and cozy place - will definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu

What an amazing place. A simple menu that has kept me finding some new gem each time I return. The roast salmon ramen or the yaoyao with an egg are my go to. The house cocktails are great as well. Highly recommend read more
