Have never been for…read moredinner so can only speak for the lunch vibe, but I have found the service to be great and the lighting is nice because there are floor to ceiling windows. The menu is pretty diverse with various appetizers, sushi, and also ramen/curry so your standard izakaya fare. One of my favorite dishes here has been the chirashi. The fish was very fresh and it's pretty affordable. I've only ever been here in groups of two and I probably would recommend it for smaller groups because the space itself is small and most of the tables are two-seaters if I recall correctly.

When we got there our table was ready and the waitress was quick to take our order. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time too. We really loved everything we ate and the drinks were great too. I got the sparkling basil lemonade and I was so glad that it wasn't overly sugary. It was perfect to pair with the food we were eating. I would highly recommend ordering the pasta, the Japanese tacos, and the tuna crispy rice! I don't live super close to this restaurant but I will definitely be coming back!

The menu offers classic Japanese cuisine with some unique offerings. Love that their menu is packed with photos. The service is friendly and warm. I was welcomed the moment I walked in, and the service stayed attentive and efficient throughout my stay. I decided on the pork katsu rice bowl. The pork cutlet was crispy yet tender. Everything tasted noticeably fresh. It was served over rice with caramelized onions and an egg. The flavors were sweet, tangy, and umami. Portions are decent too - I left with leftovers. Overall, good food and service. Oh! They serve their plum wine in the cutest carafe.

The two slabs of chashu were comically large, each bigger than a slice of thick-slab bacon and tender, fatty. There were lots of bamboo shoots and crunchy black-squiggly seaweed too so that turned my bowl pretty crunchy. This can be a benefit for some (the value is undeniable), but I found it inharmonious. Ah well, the noodles and broth were still tasty. I was surprised by a free appetizer during weekday lunch hours; I chose fried veggie dumplings. They're really committed to decorating the space; it was replete with pillows, hung seasonal door decor, window decals, and more. It felt very spacious, but maybe I'm too used to Manhattan standards. As mentioned, really kind and attentive service.

Two thumbs all the way up!

It's nonfussy, and although not the cheapest sushi, it's definitely not super expensive/omakase level. It's a small space with a giant bar for seating and maybe a few tables - the owners are definitely passionate about Japanese cuisine and you can definitely feel that as you chat with them a bit. The menu is small, but dedicated to quality, and you will make your choice quite quickly. All the fish was fresh, large pieces, and really really clean tasting. The soup was delightful and paired wonderfully and everything was presented quite nicely. The grilled fish was also tasty and really tender.

The slider was a bit over priced for the portion so just keep in mind most of the starters are potentially one piece. Service was a little slow but overall not a real complaint. Ambiance and decor are very cute and intimate, although I would have preferred a little more space between the tables. It's New York though! Overall great experience and looking forward to visiting again.

Solid spot with a fair price point, but the rice really threw the tasting off. We arrived around…read more9:00 PM, so maybe it was an off night, but the rice was noticeably too firm and that texture dominated the otherwise well-prepared fish. Service and atmosphere were pleasant, and the fish itself showed good quality and balance. If they can dial in the rice consistently, this would be a go‑to sushi bar for the neighborhood. Overall: promising menu and value, just watch the timing or ask about rice that night.

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.
