Tuna mayo and konbu onigiri
Ricky L.

Rice was warm and moist, great flavor. Good service, despite there only being two staff members. Also where else can you get two onigiri for $10 in NYC???!!!! Go here, and tip the workers well.

Conohen's exterior features a wooden-framed window with menu signs and promotional notices, located in Brooklyn, NY.

In one of the summer streets, I had walked past a shop selling onigiri. I was looking for a quick bite so I took one. I really liked it and the chef was talking about how they will build out the store in the future. Fast forward to a very cold day, I was looking for something to eat at 11:00 am. The store was open and it had indoor seating. From the outside you can see their many offerings including onigiri, sashimi, Kara age and more. They also had many specials. I picked two items to eat: IKURA Spoon Sake Onigiri (one of the daily specials) and a Japanese egg sandwich. The onigiri was stuffed with rice and salmon with a decent amount of ikura. The salmon was not dry. The sandwich was filling, fluffy, had the right amount of tang and was not too dense on the stomach. When I received my tray, I thought they had given me fries on the side. In actuality, they took the crusts off the sandwich bread, fried them and covered them in cinnamon sugar. I thought it was really cute and economical. It was too sweet for me that early in the morning but i think it has a great appeal and it had a nice crisp. The area I sat was like a bar and I can see them having a cute space in the near future. The staff there were extremely sweet and checked in on me. They open at ten am on the days they are open (not Tuesdays and Wednesdays), so you can have an alternative breakfasts. This is a place I can put into my rotation if I am in the area.

Egg sandwiches with a herb garnish are presented on a white paper tray, with a background of kitchen utensils and storage containers.

I wish I discovered this place sooner. Cute neighborhood joint with reasonable prices and daily selections. I liked my sando and beef yakisoba (gobbled it too fast to take pics lol) everything seemed fresh. It is a very small place so do not expect super fast service but I'm ok with it. Just browse the nice bookstore outside next door while they give you a timer to wait.

Bigger than it looks, spicy tuna onigiri - A partially unwrapped onigiri rice ball wrapped in nori seaweed, placed on parchment paper on a wooden surface.

It was ok, cute vibes and the onigiri is well porportioned. I got the spicy tuna but it wasn't very spicy at all. Karaage was fresh but very oily. I recommend it as a snack place vs full meal stop. I'll still be coming back! I want to try other stuff on the menu.

Miso soup - A bowl of miso soup containing tofu cubes and green onions is placed on a black tray with a wooden spoon and a napkin, on a wooden counter.

My friend, my wife on a slightly rain Saturday morning. In the winter, there is only indoor bar seating but it was very pleasant and comfortable. The Japanese music was very nice too. The miso soup was some of the best we'd had. The rest of the food was good and filling, for under $20. We were not in a rush, but the restaurant seemed a little understaffed, despite being small. It took some time to get water, utensils, napkins, but my friend I had a good time chatting and waiting. Would return.

A bowl of cold soba noodles topped with tempura shrimp, sliced cucumber, green onion, and wasabi, with chopsticks resting on the bowl.

Super yummy!! Two piece chicken karaage not pictured - everything was so fresh, light, summery, awesome!!

Store hours. - A sign from Conohen in Brooklyn, NY, states the business hours, closure days, and that indoor seating and heated backyard are available.

Lovely people, great service, delicious food. Japanese sandwiches and onigiri are specialities and the kara age (fried chicken) is excellent.

Egg sandwich - A basket contains egg sandwiches made with white bread and a side of fries, placed on a wooden table with drinks nearby.

Always a great time coming here. Grace and the rest of the staff kill it every time. In the past…read moreI've only gotten drinks. But yesterday, I did rhe Boozy Brunch (90min for $40). Definitely worth another trip. I got the Cajun club (w/o tomatoes) sandwich and the frozen margarita. Both were soooo good! The place might be small but it's big on the "home away from home"/chill atmosphere!

I will never return to this establishment. What was supposed to be a brief, comforting brunch visit…read moreafter attending a funeral turned into an embarrassing and disappointing experience. I chose this place because I had visited a few times in the past and expected a positive environment. While there, I ran into an old friend who was accompanying individuals with special needs. They informed us about the R&B karaoke event, and we attempted to participate respectfully and supportively. Unfortunately, after participating, the DJ became rude and dismissive. My friends decided not to continue because each time they attempted to request a song, the DJ was unkind and impatient, seemingly unaware--or unconcerned--that they were individuals with special needs. The situation escalated when I attempted to calmly address the disrespect. Instead of listening, the bartender repeatedly accused me of being drunk simply because I was defending myself after a rude comment. I was not intoxicated; I was advocating for respectful treatment. Even the DJ's own companion appeared visibly shocked by the comment made toward me, as if anticipating a reaction. I remained composed and professional despite being deeply upset. What disappointed me most was the staff's decision to defend the DJ's behavior rather than acknowledge how inappropriate and disrespectful the interaction was. This reflects poorly on how this establishment treats people--especially those who deserve patience, understanding, and dignity. I came expecting an enjoyable brunch experience and left feeling ashamed for having trusted this place. It is clear that the venue prioritizes protecting mediocre DJs with minimal local popularity over treating customers with basic respect. Poor organization, lack of proper event management, and unprofessional staff behavior made this experience unacceptable. I have visited many establishments and have never felt so disrespected. I will not be returning.

TL;DR version- Some high highs and some very low lows. Hot Figs was a fun app. By a mile, the soups…read morewere the favorites, so I would recommend the Pepián or Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo. Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection I was at this unique Guatemalan (ish) restaurant a while back with one of my groups. I said "ish" because the menu has dishes from all over, ranging from sandwiches to BBQ ribs to Guatemalan and Mexican soups. It's out there, and even though not everything works that well, it's fun, and if you can't find something you want to order here, you probably shouldn't go out to restaurants. There was also live jazz music that night, which was loud but nice to listen to. Since it was happy hour, a bunch of us got drinks. I went with a maracuya margarita, which was decent; someone else had a jalapeño margarita, someone had a beer, and someone had a mojito. There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free. From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blend and reminded me more of something you would find in a wine bar. The mix of sweet and salty, with a bit of crunch from the seeds, was nice. This was good, and I would recommend it for a table rather than for a solo diner. There was also The Zingy Salad for $21.95, featuring zucchini spirals, yuzu, tomato, onion, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and a jalapeño infusion. $18.95. The salad was fine with a bit of crunch and a mild spiciness. It was fine, though a bit wet, for lack of a better word. The best dishes of the night were the soups, which each had its own distinct flavor profile. My sight presence went to the Pepián for $21.95, consisting of chicken, pumpkin/sesame seeds, green tomatillo, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, carrots, chili coban/pasta/guaque, and potato + rice. There was plenty of tender chicken inside, with the soup having a nice roasted flavor with some spice and a bit of sourness. The potatoes and rice on the bottom added more sustenance to this dish. Almost equally delicious was the Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo for a dollar more with shredded chicken, tomato, black pepper, garlic, onions, peas, chickpeas, corn, achiote, chipotle, Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy blue corn tortilla chips. By comparison, this was a bit heartier, with the melted cheese and shredded tortilla chips inside, similar to soups found in Mexican cuisine. While I also liked the mix of veggies a bit more in this one, as it added a bit more texture, I still slightly preferred the flavor of the other soup, as I usually prefer a bit more spice. The rest of the food was fine. The TPC sandwich for $19.95 with chicken, peanut butter, coconut cream, ginger, cilantro, pickled carrots, and lime was fine. For the number of ingredients, I found it a bit sweet, likely from the cream and the peanut butter mix. The bread was nice, but it also fell apart. It came with a nice side salad with a good vinaigrette. The most expensive at $24.95 were the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs, consisting of baby back ribs with rice and beans. The ribs were almost a bit too tender as they lacked any bite, which was nice, but the sauce was a bit too generic tasting, reminding me of Sweet Baby Ray's or something similar. The rice and beans were standard. This was also OK. Next came some dessert. There was first the $12.95 Rosemary Churros served with dulce de leche & chocolate dips. While I'm not sure if it worked, the rosemary did add a unique smell and a bit of flavor, and at least it wasn't generic. The churros themselves were hot, and the sauces were standard, with my preference being the dulce de leche. I also ordered a Champurrado for $7.95, which was fine. It wasn't as thick as I expected, though perhaps the style is a bit different than the champurrados I rarely buy from Mexican street carts. The chocolate flavor was very nice, though, and I like that it wasn't too sweet. Another person got a $4 Alfajor, which I got a bite of, which was standard. This place is a bit hard to rate. The two soups were wonderful, I liked the appetizers, and I found a couple of the other dishes just OK. Overall, it was a good meal, but I'm not craving to go back. This would be the perfect 3.5, but I'll round up as that doesn't exist.

Every table has a placemat with crayons which is such a fun way to keep kids and adults entertained. The food was delicious and tasted fresh, living up to their messaging on sourcing local food. We ordered the egg katsu sandwich and the eggs rothko. The sandwich was very well made with a nice crisp panko crusting that didnt feel heavy on the oil, and yet still managed to have a light airy egg inside. The eggs rothko was buttery and flavorful but still managed to not feel too heavy. The broiled tomatos on the side were a nice touch to contrast the egg and toast from the main dish. Overall I enjoyed this place and would love to come back to try more dishes. The vibe was friendly and welcoming, making it the perfect weekend brunch spot.

If I were to do again, no sausage, I don't believe you need it for this sandwich. The chocolate milk is regular. - 4/5 Value (1-5): For what I got, I believe it is overpriced, even though it tasted really good, I don't know how many eggs are used to create the egg katsu, but $17 seems like a reach. There are other items on the menu that cost the same price but will make you feel more full. 3/5 Customer Service (1-5): The customer service was attentive and nice. 5/5
