    Came here after a run and was seated immediately. We ordered the curry katsu and pork katsu with a side of fried. Everything was deliciously juicy, fries were crispy. I was happy that they didn't submerge all the katsu into the curry sauce, so some of them were still crunchy. Good amount of food for the price.

    3.5 stars. This wasn't really anything special but was a good quick spot to eat. I imagine the curry or other dishes are better - the bread was a bit too overpowering/much leaving little taste of the pork katsu

    Special- Shrimp Katsu Burger w/ TarTar Sauce

    Wow! Insane, I was mind blown by their special of the day - Shrimp Katsu Burger w/ TarTar Sauce. It might have been a seasonal special - I can't remember but it wasn't on their regular menu. If you see the photo I posted, you can see how thick the piece of shrimp burger was... and the katsu was cooked perfectly in that the shrimp retained its texture and juiciness. I can easily eat 3 pieces of the shrimps katsu (without the burger bun). They should definitely consider adding the shrimps katsu burger as a main menu item! The shredded cabbage was a nice refreshing pairing. Their drink option looks amazing as well. I saw a couple folks order the strawberry match latte and they also have hojicha option as well.

    If perfection were a katsu bowl, that's exactly what Chef Katsu would serve. Every time im in the area, this is a must visit lunch spot. The katsu bowls are delicious, the soups are always good, and the service is fantastic. The price is fair and it's just overall an amazing experience. They have very limited seating, so keep that in mind when visiting! Overall, would highly recommend.

    I tried takeout from here recently and felt like it was a very solid Japanese sandwich and bowl spot. The katsu shrimp burger was well-prepared, crispy on a soft bun with some nice crunchy veggies--I do feel like they could have turned the flavor up a little bit with another spicy or tangy or even sweet sauce in addition to the classic tartar. It was kind of like your typical po'boy, which I enjoyed, but nothing really set it apart or connected it to the particular cuisine. I also had the salmon dashi chazuke because the salmon ikura bowl sold out. Very simple, salmon rice and some shredded nori and scallions with dashi broth, but it was yummy and nourishing. The miso soup was also good, pretty standard. A good meal, just maybe could use some punchier flavors all around, but a solid option in the area for sure.

    ordered the special katsu of the day- the shrimp katsu burger! it had the perfect bite and the bread was nice and fluffy. the shredded cabbage was crisp and well seasoned too! the pork katsu burger was a bit forgettable in comparison but still enjoyable overall. i wish the pork katsu was thicker. i think that would've enhanced the dish. for the price, it was acceptable. finally, we got the salmon and ikura bowl, which was fresh. the sushi rice was more flavorful than the standard stop and go spot. i'd visit again to try their salmon dashi chazuke.

    Casual spot for a homey meal. I liked the salmon ochazuke more than the katsu rice bowl. There weren't many tables inside, and it was hard to find a table inside on a Friday night.

    . I have been ordering from this restaurant for many years . I always order delivery as I live further away and it arrives hot and super delicious Love to order Salmon Dashi dish - really warms my insides especially on a cold day and I've gotten it when I was very sick and it nurtured me back to health! Chef katsu's dishes are like eating at someone's grandma's home. Beautiful presented, perfectly balanced . Also love the Salmon and chicken teriyaki bowls . Owner is lovely too and often supports others in need. Great business to support ! Still as yummy as 3 years ago when I last reviewed it!

    Only had the shrimp katsu burger special, which was phenomenal. Very big patty and juicy shrimp, fried to perfection. I wish I did a better cross-section since it was so flavorful. Would definitely come back to try their other things.

    I've been wanting to try this place for so long and so glad I did! I got my order to go, but wish I ate there so the katsu would've been crispier. The katsu was cooked perfectly and flavorful. I loved the side of shishito peppers and watermelon radish. The desserts looked super good, so I'll have to come back to try them!

    Delicious fries

    A true gem. Finally stopped by on a Friday for lunch. Warning, they can get pretty busy so if you see a chair/table, grab it and then order. I wasn't sure what I wanted but I ultimately went with the salmon katsu burger w/ tar tar sauce ($12), french fries ($4.50), and a katsu palmer ($4). For $23 it was worth it. Obsessed with the salmon burger and the fries. Great tasting fries are hard to come by. I was pleasantly surprised and so was my friend. The salmon burger was fried and seasoned to perfection. It also came with shredded cabbage, shiso and mayo. I'd definitely order those again. I wouldn't get the katsu palmer again. I liked the yuzu lemonade but the japanese iced barley tea flavor wasn't for me.

    It was busy on a weekend for a late lunch. There are only a few tables in the casual restaurant and there was some people standing around waiting for their orders. You order at the counter and can seat yourself. They will bring your food to you, and then you clean up after yourself. I got the salmon and ikura bowl and it was ready quickly. The quality of the salmon and ikura was great, but the portion size was small. I would come back to try some of the other items, but it is definitely a place for quick or casual meal since it's small and busy.

    Came in for dinner on a Friday and their curry was unfortunately sold out :( I opted for the portobello katsu burger instead and it was mid. Little flavor and too much bread. Wish there was more sauce. I was looking forward to trying this place but it missed the mark for me. I'll have to come back again for the curry or another dish.

    Upon entry we received such a warm welcome from Chef Armando. The all-inclusive beverages and…read morecomplimentary charcuterie were a really nice touch to start the evening, especially if you arrive hungry like I did. We started by learning how to make Chicken Marsala, then moved into pasta making (my favorite part). After that, we learned how to make fresh mozzarella, and finally ended the night with dessert: tiramisu. The entire experience was so fun and interactive. I especially appreciated how knowledgeable Chef Alex was about everything we were making. When I asked about the type of pan she was using and why, she gave such a detailed and thoughtful explanation, which I really appreciated. By then, we had definitely worked up an appetite! We started dinner with a delicious salad and focaccia bread, followed by pesto fettuccine made from the pasta we created ourselves. Then came Chicken Marsala with mushrooms, and ricotta-stuffed ravioli in red sauce, also handmade by us. One of the best parts of the night was the atmosphere. Cooking, eating, and learning alongside people you've never met before somehow felt so natural and welcoming. You genuinely leave feeling like you made new friends. If I had one honest critique, I do wish there had been more opportunity to personally season some of the dishes to taste, as I felt parts of the meal were a little bland for my preference. I also personally prefer softer pasta over a firmer al dente texture. That said, I completely understood why the pasta had that texture since we didn't have much time for the dough to fully rest and develop. I also think some light Italian jazz music playing in the background would have elevated the atmosphere even more and really taken the experience to another level. Overall, I had a wonderful time and would absolutely take another class. It's definitely worth it for the experience, the knowledge you gain, and of course... dinner! Also, we got home (with our left overs) and finally had the tiramisu... and WOW. It was soooo delicious. The ravioli and tiramisu were definitely the stars of the show for me!

    What a fun virtual French crepe cooking class with Danielle and Lily from Michel et Augustin…read moreon...Instagram. If you would have told me that I would be doing a cooking class this summer on Instagram, I would not have believed you. Now, I would recommend bookmarking the summer series, Baking With Our Buds. If you miss an "episode", you could still follow the recipes that are posted on their Instagram. Crepes have always seemed exacting to me. Danielle and Lily were the perfect team to learn how to cook a family recipe that we all successfully muddled through together. Loved how the chefs on the "call" gave helpful baking tips along the way. Helpful Hints- Whisk the eggs, milk and water, then add the melted butter Whisk the flour, sugar and a pinch of sea salt Slowly add the dry ingredients by 1/3 increments to the wet ingredients and continue to whisk Add the beer, watch it bubble and the wait an hour for the magic to happen The batter will be thin Butter your pan Use a ladle to pour the batter onto a hot skillet Have fun with sweet or savory fillings. We did a combination of both. Mushrooms, broccoli, arugula and havarti or arugula, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and a fried egg were the favorite savory options. Nutella and banana or grilled peaches, blueberries and ricotta with powdered sugar were the dessert top choices in our home kitchen. Would be great with Brie and apples or a smoked salmon combination as well. The combinations are endless. Merci to Danielle and Lily at Michel et Augustin for a delicious, healthy summer meal. Can't wait to bake with you again and good luck with the nationwide launch of your cookies into the Whole Foods Markets. Bon Appetit!

    I just came across this cafe today. It's right by the Smith-9th St stop, which I used to go through…read moreall the time, but the cafe wasn't there until last year. A very bright, airy space with a few tables. I liked that you can get a little treat such as a small cookie or something more substantial (sweet or savoury). I got a mini chocolate croissant loaf, which was the perfect size. Tasty and well made. It's great to have a little oasis in this somewhat industrial area by the F train.

    I stumbled upon a little piece of Paris in Brooklyn :) Atelier Ariana might make my favorite plain…read morecroissant in NYC--and that's saying a lot since I usually go for the flavored ones. It is a charming bakery in Carroll Gardens serving artisan French pastries and desserts, curated by Chef Ariana Barkin. Everything here is beautifully crafted. It's a quiet, relaxing café for getting work done on a weekday. I've already been to Atelier Ariana twice in a month. The staff couldn't have been sweeter. Big shoutout to Caroline for walking me through the menu and giving me great recs every time I visit. *Croissant $5 I could totally taste how fresh it was. Even at room temperature, it was still very flaky. The center was different from typical croissants, it was softer and fluffier, and wasn't overwhelmingly buttery either. It's a croissant I'd love to eat every day. *Strawberry Cake $6 I went with their spring special. The cake was filled with fresh strawberries and layered with jam, while the butter cake was incredibly moist and rich. So obsessed. *Gruyere and Rosemary Torsade $6 So aromatic and crunchy! I enjoyed the rosemary flavor. A solid savory pastry choice for breakfast. *Gateau Marbre $4 Highly recommended by Ariana and Caroline, I gave it a try and WOW, I got the hype! Imagine a fudgy and gooey brownie but better -- they blended hot fudge while making it. *Orange Almond Cake $3 Citrusy cake with a dense and moist texture, and it was gluten free! *Apricot Cookie, Strawberry Cookie $1.5/pc Seasonal cookies garnished with fruit jam. Fruity, bright, and buttery mini bites for summer. *Latte w. Oat Milk $5.9 The latte art really made my day. You don't usually get a solid latte at a bakery. The milk was well steamed, and the espresso-to-milk ratio was just right. The price even included alternative milk, which was a nice bonus.
