The best oshizushi (box sushi) you're likely to find in New York, interestingly some of them utilizes raw fish (traditionally it's cured or cooked only); get that and start with a few daily obanzais!

Really a special, cozy Kyoto-style sushi restaurant. I recommend going off-menu for the daily-special sushi, sashimi, rolls, and most importantly, Obanzai (not to be missed)

A slice of Tokyo in BK. You won't find better, more authentic tofu in NYC. The agedashi and the home made varieties are delicate and delicious. Everything else is fantastic, esp the nightly specials.

The Obanzai (Kyoto-style Japanese Tapas) changes daily but has never disappointed us! Neither has the Agadashi Tofu, Shrimp Toji Maki, or the Beef Kakuni! (Walk-ins Only)

Tofu is meant to be like they serve it forget what you thought you knew about tofu. Try it warm with broth. Sushi is fresh and authentic. Try the box sushi for something different.

Everything was delicious. Really surprised by the Tofu, incredibly tasty and melts in the mouth- a must-try! We arrive a bit late 9:30pm and they were out of the specialsI... we need to come back!

Everything was terrific. Salmon entree, miso soup, small plate selection of spicy shredded beef. And service was wonderful. Best Japanese meal I've had.

This comfy spot is as close to authentic Kyoto-style as you can get. Daily obanzai (tapas) is a must; the chirashi — a heaping bowl of sashimi, veggies, omelet, and rice — is one of the best around.

One of my favorite places for decent and authentic Japanese food. Great lunch specials and may I also recommend their awesome tofu pudding.
Alex MetzlerAugust 20, 2014
Salmon Box was great and the fresh tofu (warm, or cold) was delicious. Best part was the sushi having subtle rice vinegar in the rice, just like grandma used to make. You don't get that very often.

Great daily specials for $5 and ask for recommendations in the daily catch! Ice cream sandwiches are a fun take on traditional Japanese pancakes
F. BastardFebruary 9, 2016
If this isn't the best Japanese food in Brooklyn I'm....guilty of overstatement. Try the house-made tofu (I like the agadashi), banzai (small plates), pressed sushi. Great value at lunch.

The tonkatsu is perfect. Light and crispy on the outside, super tender and juicy inside, with the classic tonkatsu "bbq" sauce.
Nicole LMarch 12, 2013
What a gem in Cobble Hill! Fresh sushi and tasty daily Obanzai. Their homemade Agedashi Tofu is not to be missed!! Friendly staff and low key atmosphere make the dining experience that much better.
Aaron BestJune 28, 2019
A little pricey, but worth the splurge. The Chef's Sashimi plate and agedashi tofu are our go-tos, but they also have a rotating menu of Japanese tapas.
Emily WilsonAugust 27, 2016
Cute vibe. Feels like you're in Japan. Get at least one kind of hako sushi (box sushi), and save room for the green tea ice cream sandwich.

Happy to have this in the hood. Kakuni tasted more like Japanese demi-glace but was delicious all the same. Rolls were perfect. Green salad was actually exciting, not the afterthought it so often is.
David RosenbergMarch 25, 2015
Excellent authentic Japanese fare. Don't miss the deep fried tofu and the seaweed salad to start, and later the mackerel Kyoto boxed roll is delicious.

Seaweed salad is really light, fresh, and flavorful. Service is great, but that is typical of pretty much all Japanese restaurants. I will be coming back to try their lunch special.
M KAugust 21, 2011
The sashimi platter is divine. The fish is super-fresh, the service lovely. Get a drink next door at Henry Public and they'll call you when your table is ready.
Linda ChowAugust 25, 2015
A gem in the neighborhood! Authentic Japanese food in a cozy space. Try the obanzai and soy milk pudding. Miso-marinated salmon was incredibly delicious!
Eric BrodzinskiJuly 21, 2017
Always incredible. The fried tofu, any of the Kyoto style sushi plates, sashimi platter, and you MUST try the black sesame ice cream.
Oz LublingAugust 6, 2014
Super authentic Japanese food. Their sushi is incredible but make sure you go for the unique Japanese dishes (fresh made tofu and shrimp toji maki)
Gianna NebbiaJanuary 15, 2022
Everything was so deeply flavorful. Their broths are insane. Tofu was divine. And the sushi is just on another level.
Connie ChiuOctober 30, 2014
Wow. Hard to come by good sashimi in Brooklyn, let alone Manhattan. This place is so good. Also great space.
Dennis HansenJuly 12, 2016
We ordered the small plate of assorted pieces of sushi and got this nice plate! Everything tasted so good!
AlexSeptember 5, 2016
the lunch bento is incredible and comes with a daily obanzai and entrees of the day!! $10
Erica ChoiMay 1, 2016
Obanzai (daily specials of the day, $5 each!), Agedashi tofu , Shrimp toji maki, Lobster roll. Tofu pudding for dessert is a MUST. 💯
Micco WuFebruary 26, 2016
This is a super cozy authentic family own Japanese restaurant. They are famous for their box press sushi and soy based tofu and deserts
Jason S.January 4, 2017
Good food and sake. Very busy restaurant but the service was still speedy. The spider roll was my favorite. Give them a try if you are in the city.
Andrei KryssovAugust 2, 2015
Homemade tofu was awesome. Save room for the homemade tofu pudding for dessert, it's amazing!

Everything is great here! Get the fresh-made tofu, seaweed salad, hako sushi, Kyoto-style futomaki, and any specials of the day!

The salmon was SO GOOD. Cute spot, great service. Hard to get a table and no reservations
miles lennonJune 25, 2016
The daily tapas makes coming here really unique and interesting. The sashimi plate isn't huge the quality is fantastic
Peter BoyceFebruary 11, 2019
Daily obanzai (specials / small plates); seaweed salad; sake selection. Can skip the sashimi.
Ronald WidhaDecember 28, 2018
The rolls are pretty big compared to other sushi places in the city, so you might want to start small, and order more later.
Michael DempseyFebruary 6, 2019
Amazing kyoto style food + Sake. Put your name in, go to Elsa around the corner for a drink, come back and eat.

Order the house made tofu cold and any of the hako pressed sushi varieties available. Personal favorites are the salmon and the unago.

Ian GriggsAugust 19, 2014

I always come here when I want to relax, have a good meal and good conversation. Lunch specials are a good value.
Helena WongFebruary 7, 2014
I loved both the Salmon and Tuna Hako! Can't go wrong with any of the Hako.
Justin KalifowitzAugust 1, 2012
One of my favorite Japanese restaurants in New York. Low key, awesome service. Must order the Obanzai (daily appetizer specials).
Joe NazittoAugust 5, 2016
Daily special board has a great variety of flavors!Sashimi platter while fresh & deliciouswas very small portions
CompassMay 14, 2014
Japanese small plates, daily twists on traditional miso soups and sushi, and a cult-loved in-house tofu recipe.
David WeinertJanuary 25, 2019
$12 bento box lunch specials - amazing deal and delicious. Best miso soup I've ever had.
