Japanese Restaurant · East Williamsburg · 133 tips and reviews
Eater: Chef Yuji is serving a set menu, which includes a simple assortment of fish, vegetables, rice, and soup for just $9. He will expand the menu to include ramen, street food, and omakase tastings. Read more.
Luke: The lunch/brunch menu is a pre fixe Japanese breakfast, complete with barley tea, a rustic chunk of fish, rice, miso and an Instagram worthy array of seasonal sides.
Hillel: Come for the fish. Lots of traditional Japanese flavors. Pre fixe breakfast under $20 - recommend skipping the egg/uni addition to the rice and using the money on the appetizer. Quick seating if solo.
Katja Schroeder 😼: They added a new dish, crab with rice vermicelli
Sarah: love this place! quiet, great service, interesting film to peek. recommend: summer rolls, "33" beer, spicy calamari entree (comes with rice). pork belly is only thing that hasn't been A+ for us here.
Katja Schroeder 😼: Falansai is now serving Vietnamese brunch on the weekend. Try the vegan red beet rice crepe! It’s delicious!

Noah Weiss: Tasty, spicy Chinese food with surprisingly good (tiki) cocktails. Like a less crazy Mission Chinese, or a more affordable Red Farm. Pork soup dumplings, garlic eggplant, and rice cakes with sausage.
Matt Green: Mock eel was so good! (It's fried mushrooms) I also liked the pork fried rice and the pork soup dumplings.
J B: Really great tasting dishes. Massive portions so share rice. Super friendly staff.

Liza: Can't go wrong with those rice croquettes for an appetizer.
Kenney Fromtheblock: The dragon rolls were great! Also they have beer made with rice or sweet potato for those of you that can't have wheat.
Village Voice: Bozu has boldly shouldered the task of being a sushi innovator, inventing sweet vinegared rice fashioned into buttons topped with fish, and a variety of crunchy, smeary, branchy things. Read more.

Maria K: Instead of a salad, I tried a grain bowl (you can choose from quinoa/faro and/or wild rice), and it was wholesome and delicious! Nothing left :)
