    Yosenabe
    Julie Ying X.

    I came here for lunch on a Sunday with my family. I've been to Chikurin in Bensonhurst so I decided to check out this location since I was in the area. They're more known for sushi but it was a cold day so I ordered the Yosenabe (shrimp, scallops, imitation crab, fish cake, chicken, tofu, napa cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, carrots, rice noodles) which is essentially Japanese hot pot. Other people ordered the hibachi and the sushi rolls. The portions were just as large as the Bensonhurst location. The hot pot had a lot of ingredients but it was a bit bland. Service was friendly and fast. It was a solid choice for sushi in the area.

    This place has been around for a long time in the hood & at this point, almost borders on historical. When almost no one delivered back in the day, they did, & had a wide delivery radius. Given the aforementioned, we got delivery from here ALOT. We are not super close by, And - we're talking about raw fish here. We still got it often. We eventually burned out on it. & it's been over 10 years since I had their food. I was in a rush to eat & was passing by so stopped in - 1st time ever being inside. They are not price gouging like many places now, & eat-in, you are getting the sashimi straight from the sushi chef. They also have SUPER fresh Sapporo on draught. They also have very competitive prices for their cocktails. In essence, they love their customers & want their people to enjoy themselves. There were multiple tables of big groups all loud & happy with tons of amazing looking food. I can't believe I have never stepped foot inside & eaten in. They are now tied w/ Wheelers as my fav South Brooklyn restaurant,

    This place is unsanitary. I always ordered on Uber Eats so I never knew what inside looks like but there were signs that quality control was an issue. The last straw was on my last order the salad they sent me had a dead roach smooshed inside the container. Did not realize until after I ate some of my food. The spicy yellowtail was spoiled as well. I'm disgusted and disappointed.

    Chikurin's premises had a nice traditional and sedate decor. The waitress was friendly and understood (nearly) all we said. We started with a pleasant Miso Soup (priced at a surprisingly low $2). We then had a decent Avocado Sushi Roll (for an affordable $4.50). The roll could have been colder, but it was quickly freshly made. The "Tokyo Chicken" was quite good (although we don't know what differentiates it from teriyaki chicken). It came over a bed of cabbage as well as some vegetables and a generous portion of rice. I ordered Yosenabe "Hot Pot", which was not the kind of hot pot I was expecting. I was expecting "hot pot" to mean a bowl of boiling broth or oil (over a flame) with raw ingredients to add from a side plate, What we got was an unusually large bowl of Udon noodles in broth with a hodgepodge of ingredients already inside, including crab style fish, chicken, and mushrooms. Jumbo Shrimp Tempura also came included with the "Hot Pot", both of which were delicious. We were so full, we skipped dessert and took half the food home. Overall, it was a positive experience --and quite affordable.

    I stooped by here on a Wednesday night as this place used to be very popular years ago. Upon entering you get a fishy smell which I already did not like. I know this place serves sushi but the odor of fish is not really a good sign. We sat down and someone came to take my order after 5 min which was pretty decent. I got the chicken katsu with their soup, the fried dumpling appetizer and a combo fried rice. the food took some time to come out but it wasn't such a long time. upon receiving it I was disappointed with the taste of the food. the fried dumplings were the best out of everything ordered and the food was edible but the taste felt different than what I am used to at other locations. the chicken katsu was missing flavor in the crust/batter so it tasted a bit bland to me. the combo fried rice had an odd taste that I only enjoyed the shrimp on it and not the pork or chicken mixed into it.

    I place order withe different stuff every time.

    Rock Shrimp and Miami Special Rolls (16 pieces, two items in cart). I placed order this Thursday, August 1st, 2024. The first dish is spicy by itself, and Miami rolls have seaweed inside. The white net in the picture with the Rock Shrimps is edible/eatable, actually. How much in total, you are going to see you on the receipt (the delivery guy forgot about my $5 tips, and didn't come back, I did call, however).

    Chicken Katsu Lunch Special
    Amanda D.

    I am so happy this place does delivery near me. I have just been so disappointed with the Japanese places near me that I just had to have high hopes for this place and I wasn't disappointed. My friend and I split a lunch chicken Katsu and a three roll lunch (pick tuna crunch, California roll and a chicken tempura roll). I thought the katsu was fried perfectly! I kind of wish the lunch box was a little more special as it was very basic but tasty. The sushi all tasted fresh, the tuna was fresh, no weird taste or smell. The only thing I didn't like with the sushi was that there was mayo on the chicken tempura roll.....never heard of that before and it was a little off putting. Overall, this will be my new local spot.

    First time ordering takeout from this Japanese restaurant and I must say.. I'm pretty impressed. I've tried the other Chikurin chain in Brooklyn (Bensonhurst) and I was disappointed but this place is awesome. There's a perfect proportion of rice to vinegar and it's neatly presented without adding additional sauce to it. I ordered shrimp tempura, crabstick, tamago, and ebi sushi. Will definitely come back as a regular.

    We always get take out after dining in. Look at the giant spicy salmon sushi.

    This is my go-to sushi spot in Brooklyn. We drive here from Queens at times if we want good quality, nice service and fresh sushi. Service is fantastic. The servers know their regulars and we always feel welcomed here, even if we haven't been here in a while. It is stroller friendly and they are very accomodating with table requests, granted that it's not busy. Their menu continues to grow and recently had a lot of new special rolls added. My favorite here is the spicy salmon sushi. I believe it is $1.50 per piece. They load it up and it is one giant sushi. Five of these plus one roll and I'm good for lunch. Their rolls are always filled with fish and they don't cheap out. Good portion size, very little rice and plenty of fish. They also don't cheap out with the avocado for any of the rolls that come with it. Their ice cream is one of the smoothest and creamiest I've had at Japanese restaurants. The worst is when you try to scoop or bite and it's still icy or too hard. Chikurin's is easy to dig into, great temperature, texture and consistency. Whichever vendor they use for ice cream is on point. You can find street parking easily. Although, this restaurant can be tough to spot. While it is on a corner, there are no windows so look for an odd looking restaurant on the corner.

    A quality and cheap sushi spot. The sushi I usually get from here is the salmon rolls, spicy tuna, and spicy salmon and the total never surpasses $15. The taste is good but not the best you have ever had. Service can be a little slow for the takeout. The restaurant offers a full bar.

    Full menu :)

    Bought a ton of sushi for a birthday. Everything was delicious and withstood a long drive to our destination. Overall very successful order. The rock shrimp especially was the party favourite.

The soup was delightful and paired wonderfully and everything was presented quite nicely. The grilled fish was also tasty and really tender.

The fish was very fresh and good quality. We tried the fried purple yams, fried chicken, stir fried udon, yakisoba, and a variety of sushi platters.

Service: Service was wonderful! Our waiter was attentive and came back to check on us throughout the meal. There's a button to press when you need service, and our waiter was always quick to come after we pressed it. Ambiance: The restaurant is a good size with tables sectioned off into small "rooms". There are two private rooms downstairs that fit about 6-7 people each. The rooms are adjoining and good for large groups.

It was an absolute lifesaver that kept the girls happily entertained. And the food was absolutely worth savoring. We kicked things off with a round of handrolls--salmon avocado, spicy salmon, and yellowtail--which were perfectly crisp and packed with fresh fish. I went all in on the Salmon Lovers set, and it was an absolute dream. It came with a massive, beautiful spread of salmon sushi, seven thick pieces of melt-in-your-mouth sashimi, a salmon avocado roll, a bright kani salad, and a really savory piece of grilled salmon. We also shared the Ysukiji sushi platter, which featured a gorgeous, high-quality assortment of cuts, while the Smoked Chicken bento box was a huge hit, offering fantastic cooked flavors and generous portions. The room we were in mimicked a traditional Japanese room where everyone had to sit on the floor and put their legs under the table. It was fun for the younger people but it was difficult for the elders to sit down and get back up. Between the incredibly fresh sushi and the warm hospitality that kept the whole family smiling the entire time, this spot easily earned five stars. We can't wait to come back!

The tables are a bit small and tight though, so they brought out our food in courses. We started off with the Kaishin Don ($45), which was perfectly plated over a bed of rice. This one came with a good amount of uni, which was much appreciated. Then we had the Ozakaya Donburi Set ($49), which is such a fun one. You have a raw egg to mix into your seafood bowl accompanied with some pickled veggies and sliced sashimi. Once you've ate more than half your bowl, you can get a broth that finished cooking your fish and turning the rice into porridge. The broth is savory and tangy, which gives it such a nice and refreshing flavor. We enjoyed both of these dishes a lot and it was fun to make your own handrolls. Then came the Mentai Pasta ($19), which is sadly one of the worst things I've ever ate. Not only was there barely any Mentai flavor, but the mayonnaise completely overpowered everything. I couldn't get over how I might as well have ate a spoonful of mayo on its own; that's how rich and heavy this dish was. The bacon was overcooked as well but somewhat cut all the mayo. I even tried to add some soy sauce but there was no saving this pasta. We ended up tossing the rest of the dish and I am not one to waste food. I even tried to complain to the waitress but she just ignored it. It was unfortunate because the other dishes we had were amazing. Luckily we were still able to end on a good note as we ordered the Oshiruko ($12) for dessert. This came with two scoops of matcha ice cream, grilled mochi, and red bean. Everything went well together and the matcha was strong. It's wild how good and bad some of the dishes were here. Definitely stick to the sushi and rice bowl dishes and whatever you do, DO NOT order the mentai pasta unless you love mayo.
