    cute packaging
    Cameron N.

    I was scrolling GrubHub and saw this place and the name struck me as familiar. Then I realized I'd heard an influencer talking about it. Usually, I am wary of what influencers say, but this food looked good and I was finally in Williamsburg to try it, so why not?! I'm so glad I did. I got the salmon box. I have no idea how they prepare the salmon, but it is so flavorful and juicy. I had to stop myself from eating it all at once and having none to eat with my other sides. As for those. The box came with a few tiny lil sides; a little salad, some radish, some purple rice and some brussels sprouts. I also added a sauce for $1 and an extra side of brussels. Everything was delicious and I can't wait to eat here again.

    Chicken nanban

    Ever since I tried homecooked chicken nanban in Japan, I've been eager to find places in the city that serve it. ACRE's version is quite good, and I appreciate the purple rice and salad accompaniments. The space is interesting. The front of the restaurant is basically a home goods/gifts store where you can order your food. After you order and pay, you can sit in the back seating area, where you pick up your food at a counter when your buzzer beeps. So it's not a full-service restaurant, but more of a pretentious cafeteria, lol. It felt a bit wasteful to be eating in and to use disposable trays and chopsticks. It's a good option if you're looking for a casual but homey place to eat a balanced meal. No tap water offered, so be prepared to pay for a drink or to bring your own.

    Such an adorable spot! Would def be a good area to study. So many cute little trinkets at the front where you order as well. Their hochija and matcha are so yummy. salmon bento: 4.5/5 cooked rly well, wish I could taste some more of the miso marinade pork katsu: 3/5 kinda dry and sauce didn't hit as hard for me Nanban: 5/5 I rly loved the chicken karaage and chicken nanban bento!! just so perfectly crispy with addicting sauces Matcha croissant: 3.5/5 yummmmy!! wish they could heat it up slightly

    I love that Acre is a restaurant, cafe, and shop, all in one! Their bento lunch sets are amazing - I tried salmon saikyo-miso and loved all the sides. The salmon was so fresh and tender. Their mango matcha is really refreshing! I am definitely coming back to try more of their menu. They have a bit of outdoor seating in the front, as well as a larger outdoor area in the back. The interior also has a large seating area. The front is the cafe and where small household items are sold. The staff are all so friendly.

    Amazing service & cuisine, especially helpful cafe staff including all who were working that day: Ethan, Reo, and Roman who made me an excellent houjicha raspberry latte!! Comfortable and elevated dining experience with a lovely garden out back.

    Came here on a Friday afternoon after a long day out in the sun. My friend got the fried chicken karaage bento, and I got the salmon bento. They were $25 and $26, respectively. This is a very simple meal, and everything is lightly seasoned. The karaage was crispy with a slightly tangy sauce. The salmon was pretty thin and mostly seasoned with just salt. If I'm ever in the area and trying to eat something healthy, I would come back again! I wish the salmon was a bit saltier and less oily, but it was a good meal nonetheless.

    I love this place! I've been several times and never have any complaints. I'm always searching for authentic Japanese food, having grown up in Japan. They've got great pastries, drinks, and little trinkets in the front. You get a buzzer and can seat yourself in the back - there's indoor seats and outdoor / shed seating. Recently I've gotten the chicken nanban and the egg salad sandwich and they were both very satisfying. Service was great and the ambiance was nice. Love how the owner is actually Japanese too!

    Matcha Loaf
    Mosa H.

    OMG I've been dreaming of this matcha loaf since I got it. It's so strongly of matcha, just the right amount of bitter, and super moist. The hot hojicha latte is also delicious. Really cute modern Japanese interior and a back cafe with seating. I'll have to come back for the bentos.

    Loved the fun summer-y drink options! Had to indulge in the iced matcha mango latte and the chicken karaage bento box for sustenance. Both were delicious and enjoyed in the back garden with a lush view of the plant life and brick walls. It's a self-service place where you get a buzzer and pickup your tray when it's ready. You also can throw away your trash and place the tray in the designated area. It was quite busy as the line went out the door on a Saturday afternoon. However, there were seats inside and out so most people were to-gos.

    When you're in a low appetite mood, a Japanese bento is the right fix ‍ Balanced, not too heavy, and a nice variety of eats. Acre does it so well, serving satisfying meals in a super welcoming, cozy space. Lots of natural light, with both indoor and outdoor seating, and that effortless Brooklyn charm They also sell rly cute home goods too. For the bentos, the sides are all the same with well seasoned protein, rice, salad, pickled radish, and charred brussel sprouts! You'll find me here as soon as the weather warms up. salmon saikyo-miso bento box $24* chicken nanban bento box $23* 입맛없을땐 요런 도시락이 답!! 라이트해서 부담이 덜 되고 반찬도 다양한게 질리지 않고 먹을수 있어서 좋다. Acre가 이걸 참 잘하는데 맛도 좋고 먹을수 있는 공간도 넓어서 편하다. 실내외 자리 둘다 있어서 굳 벤토는 메인만 바뀌고 나머지 구성은 같음!

    karaage bento box

    ACRE sits among the great businesses in Greenpoint's Little Japan neighborhood, appealing to those looking for home decor or a meal. When you step in you'll find yourself in their retail store, with shelves of ceramic bowls, plates, wooden utensils, kind of like a fancier Muji. They also have bottles of sake and some kitchen supplies like sauces for sale. Make your way to the back for their restaurant, and you'll see a generous amount of seating, probably enough for like 40 people or so. There's even a backyard with tables and chairs, a dining area that looks just as large as the one inside, though it was too cold for me to hang out back there. Inside, it's reminiscent of a nice cafeteria, and there's no table service, so I found the $25+ price tag for the lunch sets a bit high. The karaage set came with purple rice and a salad and was pretty tasty, as was the hojicha latte I got to wash it all down with. As charming as the place was, I don't think I'm running back. The portions were too small, but that might be my American appetite talking.

    The food and the vibes are elite. The lines are long, but there are places to sit. They even have an outside portion in the back where you can sit and relax. The food portions are small but very filling. The karaage bento box is worth it as well as the chicken nan ban bento box. Their drinks and dessert are tasty as well.

    I stumbled in here because Radio Bakery had a long line and boy was I THANKFUL for that... The matcha was so incredibly good that it didn't require any sweetener. The pastry was incredibly moist and tasty. And the ambience of the gift shop area was to die for!! It was literally so good here that I ran back the next day for a matcha... I'd love to get lunch here soon.

You've really went downhill. Everything is dreadfully smaller for the same price. You used to have a giant fluffy egg square on your breakfast sandwich and now I've gotten one lumpy small egg drenched in so much overly spicy sauce - that used to be more soft and palatable, I can't even taste anything else, to compensate for the lack of sandwich for over $12. Insane. The fries were the highlight of my meal and that's really saying a lot. $6.50 for one of the smallest iced coffees I've ever received... I think you're staying open on highway robbery alone. Or that the gentrifiers just don't give a damn. Honestly, I could've gotten something better at the Bodega for less than $35 after the Uber fees. I feel bad leaving this honestly, but... how you go from such a wonderfully established place to some dreadful experience is just sad. Do better, become yourself again, because unfortunately I won't be ordering anymore.

I first ordered a chai latte and he said I could do two different syrups so I got the pumpkin and salted maple, though I was worried about it being too sugary so he suggested I could just do half a pump of each. He asked me what the name of the order would be and I said "Aida" (the phonetic spelling is ah-EE-dah). And then I heard the other barista say something along the lines of, "oh Aida, how about 'Aida' rather not be here", pretty rude if you ask me. And then I ordered the spicy nook sandwich. And when another server called my named to grab it she didn't even knowledge me when I tried to thank her and instead she talked to her coworker while I was right in front of her. The sandwich was really good, so was my chai tea. I really like the pumpkin and salt and maple syrups too. I did like all the options for seating although it was pretty packed. I'd say if you have a big party get there early. By 7pm the whole place was filled. There was a huge majong club that came in and took the whole back area, it was so crammed there were lines for the bathroom. Over all I had a good time. I really like the music too just know it gets very busy in there. The employees I would say were hit or miss. The ones that were great though I really liked. Just seem like the ones who didn't really give attention to customers or were kind of rude seemed like they didn't wanna be there.
