    Unique lil spot at the top of Greenpoint with some charm. Worth a trip for the rice balls, sandwiches, soups and such. Be prepared for a wait and don’t come with a big group.

    While most patrons ordered salad, I stuck to my favorites: tuna–mayo onigiri and miso soup with a cup of the house green tea. Every trip here feels like I've left New York behind.

    Been here multiple times. It’s super cute and relaxing place to hang out but don’t expect WiFi and cell service is mediocre. The food is delightful and great for a meal or a snack.

    Cash only! A cute and relaxing Japanese cafe. Be sure to try the avocado seaweed wraps.

    This is one of a handful of places in Greenpoint or Williamsburg (that I've found anyway) that has decaf coffee for those of us who can't have caffeine for one reason or another. Amazing!

    Say おいしい ("oh-ee-shee") when you take a first bite - it's a nice way to tell the chef you like the food.

    Order the salmon avocado seaweed wrap with spicy mayo, shiso, and radish sprouts. And an iced matcha green tea, of course!
