    Matcha milk
    Michelle L.

    I got a Matcha Milk with oat milk and honey sweetener. It was good but expensive for what it is. The size was smaller than expected and came out to about $9. It was creamy and smooth.

    TLDR: If you like hambaggu - probably one of the best versions in New York. The catch is it's also one of the priciest. If you are a light eater and value quality - this is the place. I came on the weekend because there's no way I wasn't going to try the NYC hambaggu shop. On the weekends they only sell the sets which are $35 and come with rice, a soup, pickles, sides and potato salad. The patty is a 50/50 American/Japanese wagyu blend, you have the choice of three sauces. We got the demi-glace which was deliciously rich and velvety with a strong wine flavor. The grated daikon and ponzo was also tasty. We didn't get the pomodoro but I'd imagine it would be a bit brighter. The patty is well-seasoned but the blend is a bit leaner than I'd expect. If you've tried Hikiniku to Come, this is juicy but not as fatty or soft. The portion size was a bit small even for my wife who doesn't eat much. I found myself taking comically small bites so I didn't exhaust my patty too quickly. The sides themselves were very tasty but I wish there was more of it. A la carte is supposedly served during the week. If I could have gotten an extra patty a la carte or larger portions of the sides - it might have been okay. Between two drinks and two sets, we spent around $100+ and left hungry. It's early days so we'll see what happens. It also gets incredibly crowded so come early and its a small team so you'll wait a bit for your set too.

    We had lunch next door at dashi okume and then stopped over after for a sweet treat :) we ordered the strawberry roll cake ($9) and japanese custard pudding ($10). We had to wait a bit for the food, but we didn't mind / barely noticed since we were already pretty full from lunch and were just chatting, but they actually proactively apologized for the wait and gave us the canele on the house which was super nice :) the canele and strawberry roll cake were both decent (but I wish the roll cake had more strawberry in it). The star of the show was 10000% the custard pudding! It's actually why we decided to stop here - we had some delicious custard pudding in japan and this definitely took me back! The texture was super smooth and creamy and it had the perfect level of caramelization on the sugar. I'd recommend stopping by if you're in the area! There's a lot to do just in this one building and I always stop by when I'm in Greenpoint, so I was excited to see this open :) Everyone working there was super nice as well! I would go back just to eat the pudding, but also want to try the hamburg set and some of the drinks next time!

    Lovely lovely lovely ramen. Very unique and different taste from the bone broth. The broth is what…read moremakes it imo. The meat is just absolutely perfect...melt in your mouth, moderately seasoned and delicate enough to put it all together with the noodles. The establishment is a bit smaller so it is recommended to get a reservation beforehand. But walkins are also welcomed I suppose. They have a high top area that is nice for having a front row seat to the action in the kitchen. Th music is good but random haha. Service was good the first time. But could've been better my second visit.

    Had dinner at Za-Ya in Brooklyn and tried the Gyukotsu Miso Ramen ($19), Saba ($12), Saikoro Steak…read more($14), and the Cucumber starter ($8). The ramen was everything you want in a bowl -- a hearty, beef bone marrow broth with layers of flavor, bouncy chewy noodles, and an egg cooked perfectly. The short rib inside was extremely tender, and the toppings of fried garlic, green onions, and wood ear mushrooms added even more depth. The saba (miso-braised mackerel) was another highlight: extremely tender and moist, probably the best-prepared mackerel I've had, with a miso sauce that complemented it perfectly. The saikoro steak came as chunky, tender bites with a soy-vinegar garlic sauce that tied it all together beautifully. And the cucumber starter was cold, refreshing, and carried a nice spicy kick. Za-Ya nails Japanese comfort food with care and balance. The ramen and saba alone are worth the trip, and the sides round out a very satisfying meal.
