I've never written a Yelp review before, but Estihana managed to deliver such an outrageously bad experience that I feel obligated to warn people. I placed an order on their website, got a confirmation, and was told it would arrive before 1:15 PM. When nothing showed up, I called at 1:20. That's when the excuses started. First it was "the weather," then suddenly "we don't open until 12:30," and finally--after multiple contradictions--the person claiming to be the owner told me they don't deliver to my address. That would almost make sense... except for the small detail that I've ordered from them before and they delivered to this exact same address without any issue. When I asked why the order was accepted and why no one called, the owner couldn't have cared less. His tone was dismissive, rude, and downright disrespectful. His attitude was basically: too bad, not my problem. A restaurant that confirms an order, gives three different excuses, changes its story, and then treats customers with that level of disrespect is not a restaurant you can trust. Estihana has officially lost my business -- and based on today, they've earned every bit of this review. read more

Very little experience myself but I understand that Estihana is typically very good. Parking is street only. read more

The stop to go is Estihana; I go there often with my cousin. My favorite dish is the steak bites with green beans--I can't remember the exact name--but the sushi is also delicious and every roll is perfect. The service was fantastic the last time I went; they promptly brought us everything we ordered and more. The restaurant has a pleasant, homey atmosphere, and while it gets busy, that's a sign of quality service. read more

Estihana - Asian Fusion Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The food was okay, but the service was abysmal but that didn't stop them for automatically charging us a 20% tip for not clearing plates during an obvious business meeting...and we were the only one's there! There are great Kosher places all around Brooklyn, this place needs work. Those that have read my reviews know I hate giving a negative one. People forget bad food, but never bad service. I'll be back in a few weeks, I'll let you know if I caught them on an off day. I hope I did. read more

The food is very good and flavorful the stuff is welcoming and quick to serve you the meals are actually pretty big portions. Great for two people the soups are amazing as well read more

I was very pleased with my meal here and was impressed with the quality of the food. We ordered the Thai Special Steak first. The string beans were cooked to perfection and had the perfect amount of crunch. The steak was also very good, not too chewy. We also ordered the beef and broccoli. The sauce was very flavorful and it also came with a good amount of beef in it which I was happy about. Sometimes when I go to other places and order this dish, it is mostly broccoli and not enough meat. This was not the case here. Lastly, we got the chicken udon soup. The broth was flavorful and had delicious and crunchy veggies in it like sugar snap peas, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, carrots, baby corn, etc. There was a good amount of chicken too. My only complaints with this experience were there were barely any udon noodles in the soup and we were very late with getting our rice. We didn't get our rice until we were more than halfway through the meal. Other than these two small factors, I was pleased with this meal. read more

The Mongolian beef done medium was soft and not too spicy. Singapore noodles were curried. read more

I've changed my mind and now rate this place 2 stars (and that feels generous). I won't be coming back. I ordered from here again recently and the food was downright terrible. Not a vegetable to be seen in the lo mein and the beef in one of the dishes was definitely off. It smelled wrong and tasted wrong and we threw it out after one taste each. And there was a black moldy piece of cabbage in my pickled vegetables. read more

Went here with my friends for my bday and it was quite bad. The sushi part of the food was not really edible. Other food was ok. Service was pretty terrible. It's a fairly small restaurant but it took a long time for some of the orders to come out, particularly the sushi ones. Waiter was also rude, didn't give out napkins, asked us to hurry up and finish but then took forever with the check. Bad read more

Very good sushi and Asian food. You have a large menu of nigiri , sashimi and sushi with a very nice menu on a tablet read more

Would give this place zero stars if i could. Came here and the sushi was not good and it was hot.. why would sushi be hot. Anyways that was fine but then at the end they try to scam you. Firstly they show you a cheaper price on the menu and then upcharge and claim that they havent 'updated their menu'. Then they try to claim theyre doing us a favor because they hit you with a hidden fee of $25 minimum per person that they so graciously didnt charge us even though they dont disclose at the beginning. And then another way they scam you is by saying that they dont accept credit or debt without a fee. Just dont go here food is gross and they are literally scammers. People also said they found bugs in their food. Save your money, the people who work are so rude. read more

Estihana catered my friends wedding - they are kosher and asian so it was a perfect fit. The sushi was delicious. The plated meals were good, too. Especially the "thai"-style steak with string beans. The meals were served family style and presentation was gorgeous. They can also do buffets. If you are Kosher and are craving Asian fusion cuisine - please consider Estihana's! read more

I'm a first time at this place From the way the design looks You are expecting not such a good experience,but when you taste the food. Wowwwww Definitely a great place to visit read more

Estihana is where people go when they want to go somewhere nice with their kids. It's not a doting dining experience, the water is left your table so you can help yourself. Don't expect dressed up service going there. You should expect good food, a friendly ambiance, and relaxed service -and you'll get exactly that. The food is delicious. My favorite dish on our table, because of course I sampled what everyone had ordered, was the Orange Beef (may have been called Orange Peel). It was out-of-this-world-rocking-good. Our waiter (Asher?) was helpful and delightfully merry when he assured us that everything was "delicious" -an affirmation I could tell he repeats all too often. When we ordered the crispy shredded beef as a starter for the table, he suggested my sister order something other than the sesame (or was it the sesame?) as her entree due to its similar taste with the starter. Of course, ending off with a hot cookie and ice cream is always, always a good idea! read more

I'm still looking for a kosher sushi place to knock my socks off. Estihana almost made it to four stars because their sushi is a little better than the other joints in the neighborhood, but the wait time in store for pick up and waiter service is long even when they're not busy. My husband has ordered a few of their noodle dishes, and he said that they didn't taste that good to him (he's pretty picky about using fresh vegetables). I'm not sure how Estihana does it, but it's just not WOW. read more

Delicious sushi and great prices. The wonton soup was also delicious. I went at an odd hour but we weren't the only people in there, but the waiters were not so attentive. Conveniently, there's a wine store across the street and you can bring your own bottles as long as the owner can see the bottle first to confirm it's mevushal. read more

this is the first time I had to ever return food. The manager and waiters looked like they could care less. I was looking forward to good kosher Chinese but ended up with nausea. The soup was bland and inedible, the scallion pancakes were sans scallions, The dumplings were still frozen in the middle -obviously not freshly made, the Noodle dish was drowning in some sort of sauce with raw vegetables, and the cooked sushi Was partially raw. So all in all, not only would I never go back to this place, even if they paid me, But for the good of humanity they should close this restaurant down. I am seriously not being overdramatic, this place stinks, They need a total makeover read more

I've gotten take-out from here, and the food was always excellent. So when my wife and I decided to go out to Estihana a while back, I was looking forward to a nice meal. The food was excellent, as I expected. No complaints there. The service, however, was lacking. It was slow. Really slow. At the end of the meal, I wanted to get the check, but there was nobody to be seen to ask for it. I looked around for our server, and couldn't find him. I finally walked up to the counter, and there he was - sitting on the floor behind the counter, kissing one of the waitresses! I mean, really??? I told him to bring us the check, and he did - with a 15% tip already added on! I asked for the manager, only to be told he wasn't there. I asked the server to remove the tip. He told me "It's our policy to add the tip." I told him I refused, and he said he couldn't charge me without adding the tip. I gave him my phone number, told him to have the manager call me, and walked out. I called the next day and spoke to the manager. I told him that I wanted to pay for my meal, but refused to tip a waiter who was busy making out with a waitress and couldn't serve his customers. He told me that they added the tip because too many of the staff were not getting tips at all. I wonder why that was? In any case, he charged me for the meal, without adding a tip. With service like that, I haven't been back since! I'm still giving 3 stars because the food was really excellent. But the service was horrible. read more

Ordered off of Seamless. When I opened my delivery bag, I kid you not a tiny roach crawled out. It was disgusting. The food was sealed but still what's the point of buying kosher if there's roaches crawling around? My family refused to eat but I still did because I just paid 20$ for lo mein...won't be ordering again. Edit: wow guess this place has a roach problems should have read the reviews here before ordering read more

Good food but so. freaking. expensive. For a salad I expect more than roasted chicken on top of lettuce. Come on, guys. And a small appetizer of crispy beef for $15? This is not fine dining, let's be honest. I do love the food, including the crispy beef, all the soups (udon noodle is on point), and most of the entrees, but I'll only be back when I get a raise. Too bad. read more

Kosher doesn't have to equal inferior food or service. Prime example of taking advantage of the "hostage audience".

Nice nice very nice Definitely I going to go again beautiful food beautiful cel thank you very much to the owner.

Food is 5* service was very good. But i think its expensive to begin with which is fine for great food. However enforcing 18%gratuity is obnoxious. I can understand when its a large group and overly demanding. But i was there with my boys for a night out treat. And the bill without tax was $67 the tax and tip came out to $18. So that my overall bill was $85. While the service was good, i felt that 15% was sufficient. I tried to pay $10 of the $12 tip but the manager said it was not negotiable and written on menu. I paid it. But i wasnt happy. And even argued that in the long run it wasnt a good business policy because people will more likely order out and not sit in because 18% was exorbitant and in the long run that would hurt the waiters. read more

I will never again! This service was nice however the food was not great at all. I ordered a spicy crunchy salmon roll which was anemic and had almost no salmon. I also had chicken with black bean sauce which tasted like it was just thrown together. Then to top it off the bill was $39.97 which he told me included 18% service fee I will never again! read more

So me an my friend was there 2 days ago the food was not so bad when I came home i started to have stomach problems so was asking my friend if he has some problems to he told me yea has diria . Will never go back to this fucking place read more

Love this place - it's been one of the longest lasting open restaurants in the neighborhood - I have it a few times a week. Food is always consistent and fresh. read more

Cockroach in the soup. First things first, let's get that out of the way. I know that's like a bad restaurant joke, and kosher at that (taste the soup!) but this was the furthest thing from funny. Right there, in our take-out pint of hot and sour soup, a full on cockroach. Floating around in there. You know the only thing worse than finding a cockroach in your soup? Is finding it after you've eaten half the bowl. I'm still twitching an hour later as I write this. Thing is, we've been Estihana fans for years (mostly the Manhattan location), especially the crispy beef (c'mon, who isn't). But even that has gotten inconsistent and sometime downright bad. But this was the final nail in the coffin. We will not be going back- I'm really not sure how you bounce back from something like that? read more

Best kosher chinese in the world by far. We love estihana teaneck but Brooklyn is even better

This place is INCREDIBLE! I can not recommend it enough! The people at the counter and the waiters are all so sweet and really pay attention to everything down to the last detail. The food is SO good and that's coming from a chef's daughter! I can't rave enough about how nice, friendly, and accommodating this place is! Must go! And then again and again and again! read more

I had a bug in my food, just the idea made me sickanf I went home and vomit. Never go back there. read more

Sat in a booth for a date night. Excellent chicken udon soup ($9.50)! Sushi tempura was great too. Nice staff, would return.

Of the best tasting kosher Chinese and sushi in Brooklyn. Great customer service and there pricing are very reasonable :)

Noisy, very busy, long wait time. Otherwise great food and very large portions. Good service

This place is great! The food is delicious and the service is excellent. It's pricey but it's worth it! Very nice atmosphere but it can get packed quick so make reservations especially if you gol over the weekend. read more

Today I went to their web site and made an order I ordered thai roll, Philadelphia roll and soup. Delivery was on time but I was so disappointed when I saw my Thai roll, I ordered from menu with pictures and descriptions, and it was with avocado and cost 7-50 dollars. When I got my order I was so surprised to see Thai roll much smaller and without avocado on the top, of course I called them, they said sorry you ordered for 7-50 it goes with no avocado at all, that one with avocado cost much more you got what you ordered. First of all they show the picture and price next to it, they did not mention the second price at all, this is kind of foolishness, it is not fair. So you get your one star for being not friendly and not professional, you made the mistake you should fix it. read more

Estihana is a family-style Asian cuisine restaurant. The food is simply delicious and the service is great. The family and I come here almost every Week and we love it. They are very friendly and accommodating! In regards to a previous review, someone had written something in regards to two servers, including one female server, acting in a certain manner at the front desk and how they complained about the "15%" Sevice charge. Seems that's an inaccurate review because Estihana Brooklyn only has male servers and they include a 18% gratuity. read more

My steak was served "medium" because the waiter did not understand that "well-done" is not the same as medium. The meat they call "steak" looks more like a hamburger in color and texture. Definitely the worst quality steak I have gotten at a restaurant. No side dish of rice served with this steak, I have no idea why. We did not see the waiter again after ordering. At this "fancy" restaurant you pour your own drinks, yet are still obligated to pay an 18% gratuity, to cover the non-existent service. This is the only restaurant I am aware of where when you ask for a dessert because you are celebrating a birthday they charge you $7.50 for two small scoops of ice cream. Overall there wasn't really anything positive about this place. I definitely won't be coming back. read more

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME - period! The food is delicious, it has extensive menu with unique items - you just can go wrong there. BTW the name comes from combination of two founders - Esther and Chana :) read more

I can never find a non-steakhouse restaurant that serves good meat. It is always tough. Esty is one of the only non-steakhouse restaurants whose meat is tender and delicious. read more

Everything was fantastic! Soup for one was definitely 4 two. Huge portions. Honey ribs amazing. Crazy chicken with nuts delicious.
