    It's a fun short trip here. The food court options were okay. There's even a grocery store. The Daiso on the second floor was really big. There's also neighboring sit down restaurants as well so it's not all self service. I got a matcha latte that was okay, and the omurice was also just okay. It was basically food court seating so not very quiet.

    I visited Japan Village over the weekend for the first time. I know for sure that I haven't seen everything it has to offer, but just from yesterday's experience, it gets 5 stars from me! There's so much to discover and experience there. Japan Village offers two dedicated floors with a wonderous assortment of eateries, shops, and courtyard areas at Building 3/4. The Loft on the 2nd floor also offers family friendly areas that kids can enjoy. I saw they also hold events and performances on occasion, and there are also displays and information about Japanese culture and events in the NYC-area (e.g. Japan Cuts: Festival of New Japanese Film '26 at Japan Society). I love the murals that decorate the hallways and walls in the courtyard. We had a lot of fun yesterday.

    Japan village is a fun spot to visit for free. Foodcourt offers many options from onigiri and sushi to ramen and udon to donburi and okonomiyaki. There are also few sitdown restaurants and Japanese market. Upper floor has few shops which are cool - especially manga, as well as, small arcade, tea ceremony and origami. It's a fun way to kill few hours or immerse oneself in Japanese culture. Food is good and fresh. Prices are a bit on the high side and it can get crowded - so may be tough to find a table during lunch rush or when rainy and outdoor tables unavailable. Overall highly recommend for anyone who loves Japanese food or culture. Kids who enjoy anime, manga, or just silliness of Japanese variety stores will have a blast

    We wanted to see Brooklyn's answer to Japan food/culture. Decent small food court and stocked Japanese grocery store. Also a Daiso here too for fun, cheap merch. This food court/shopping mall looked a little tired overall, and needs a refresh but if you need a Japanese food fix, this will do. It was a little confusing to find. Outside there was no visible signage. We took a stab at it and luckily found it. There's not a lot of retail options with a few artisan boutiques here which is a shame. There's so much opportunity to add some pizazz. Seems like a popular place with the younger crowd.

    We purchased bentos from the food court, very long line but it did moved quickly. Food very fresh and tasty.

    The ambience and the food is delicious. Also, you can find really cool foods here that I personally can't find anywhere where I live so it's a really nice place to go. If you wanna have a taste of Japanese food and also have a chance to shop for Japanese things And there's even a grocery store in there where you can buy a bunch of really unique/classic snacks and it's not Japanese food. There's a bunch of other stuff like Korean desserts, and food and other Asian things. I've been twice and I wish I lived closer because I would probably go every day. The staff were nice and friendly, and also the service was really quick!

    If you love H-Mart, you will LOVE Japan Village. Japan Village is a specialized Hypermarket in Brooklyn that has a mini food court and super cool market. Let me break this down into a few parts because there's plenty to say about this amazing place. The Sunrise market is small but packed with tons of imported Japanese frozen foods, snacks, fresh produce, candies, dinnerware, teas and even some body/skin care! I included a picture of the items I bought from Sunrise market but by far my most fave snack I purchase was the Meiji black chocolate bar. I read online it is the equivalent to hersheys chocolate in America but it tastes so much better. Richer in taste, good crispy snap and good quality chocolate. I'd go just to buy the chocolate bars honestly. The food court had a few options to choose from such as ramen, onigiri, udon, soba, Japanese street food and sushi. They also have some desserts such as ice cream and traditional Japanese desserts. In my humble opinion the food was okay. We got chicken Katsu curry, gyu don & karaage with fries. The karaage was my favorite. The gyu don was okay but a little fatty and greasy and the chicken katsu was okay also but I've never had it before so I don't have anything to really compare it to. I probably wouldn't eat at the food court again but that's okay because there's more than just food worth visiting! Next place worth visiting is DAISO!! Daiso is an Asian household goods store. It's like homegoods, dollar tree and Michael's on steroids. Everything is so cuteeeeee and adorable!! You could spend some time in there just admiring the cutesy items. Lastly, let's talk about the ambiance. It is so vibey, beautiful and clean. They have multiple seating areas outside and inside to hang meet up with friends or even to relax on your own during sunset. I highly suggest visiting before sunset so you can take in the beautiful views. The decorations add to the atmosphere and it's by the navy ship yard so you also get a view of the water. If you're thinking of visiting Japan Village, do it! It the perfect place to visit with your family, friends, a date or solo. Plenty to do, plenty to see, explore and try new things. 1000 out of 10 recommend.

    This is a neat place where the shopping (the cute dollar type store) outweighs the food. I would absolutely go here more often if it was not almost 1.5 hours from my house. It was a fun experience for my son but my daughter has celiac disease and the only thing she could eat was ice cream. This is a common problem for her since wheat is in a ton of food. Since she is not used to this ice cream style, she didn't like it, but that's not on the vendor. My son enjoyed his ramen bowl. He said the sushi was in between a Japanese restaurant and store prepackaged and it was edible it just didnt knock his socks off. Overall a nice experience. I would love it if there was something like this in NJ

    This place is like a dream come true as someone who loves Japan and trying new dishes and new things. Stumbled on it randomly when looking for lunch in Brooklyn marathon weekend. I chose to eat at Moriya and it did not disappoint with the best "oyako Don" Will gladly come back next time I visit my sister.

    Came to the food court without any specific restaurant in mind. I walked around and saw so many options like sushi, ramen, onigiri, Japanese curry. I ended up picking Japanese curry which was about $14. It took a while to prepare as they didn't have a specific way to let you know the order was ready. It was crowded inside so I sat outside as it was shaded and there were bathrooms nearby, although the bathrooms were not very clean. We also took the elevator to the second floor to see the anime store which had soooo many things to look through

    Wowww!! this place is so amazing. i love all the food options so much. The service was nice and friendly. Very straightforward! This place is usually packed but on weekdays it's less crowded. The lines on the weekends are soooo long but honestly for what you're getting, i'd wait! Awesome place, great choices, and beautiful scenery!

    This place is a one stop hub for all things Japanese. Need to shop for groceries? Head to Sunrise Mart. Looking for household goods or stationery? Daiso's right here. Craving Japanese food? You'll find a variety of vendors offering everything from takoyaki and ramen to kakigori, bento, and sake. In the mood for anime-inspired gifts? Book-Off has you covered. My main reason for coming here is that it's the closest Daiso to me but I always end up staying to grab a bite. Highly recommend trying the yakisoba, takoyaki, and kakigori! Also fun place to take your family as well! If you follow their instagram, they tend to post friends/family fun events.

    I came for the delicious food and was enthralled by BOOKOFF Ani-Lab, which had a vast selection of anime figurines, games, and Pokémon cards, among other items. No one harassed you as you browsed. The food stalls at Japan Village offered a wide range of options. I had the shrimp tempura udin noodles and a spicy tuna onigiri, and both were so flavorful I'm craving more. The place was neither too crowded, loud, nor too busy. The supermarket had fresh food. I got a red bean taiyaki, which I enjoyed. If I'm in the area, I would definitely go back to the food stalls. As you walk in, there are other restaurants and a bakery. There was no event scheduled on the day I visited, but you can check their calendar for upcoming events. You should check it out!

We ordered the crunchy cabbage, marinated cucumber, crispy garlic potatoes, mushroom Tempera, a variety of skewers including the washugyu & shishito and scallop bacon and pumpkin (you can choose fried or grilled, I chose grilled styled) and the champon noodle bowl. The food comes out very fast. The cucumber was alright though I was not a fan of the WakuWaku sauce overly sweet. The cabbage was delicious but lacked flavor. Huge portion though. Then came out the skewers. The pumpkin was cold. I wasn't a fan of the washugyu & shishito one. And the scallop bacon was just eh, didn't really notice the bacon on it. Everything tempera one were my favorite. I loved the potato tempera it was perfectly fried. Esp. with the spicy miso sauce, it was fire, I was dipping everything in it. And the mushroom was even better. Enoki mushroom was delicious. Careful with the chicken karaage it comes out HOT. Massive pieces so good and juicy. Great portion. The noodle bowl is bigger than your head so I advise to only get one if you're sharing portions. I like the flavor of the soup, very soothing. Good collagen boost too! Lots of seafood in it. Perfect soup for a cold rainy day like we experienced. Theres miso cod was good but have had better. Honestly everything was good. I would just not get the cucumber dish and the skewers we ordered next time. They have some also have tatami rooms if you want more of a traditional Japanese style like restaurant. Overall, good experience. I would come back and try the tatami experience just with avoid a few dishes.

It's located close to a lobby with more seating plus there is ample spots outside to eat at if the weather is permitting. If I worked in the complex, then this would definitely be one of my go tos. I wish my office buildings had a spot like this. We came late in the day, so all the daily specials were sold out except for the fried chicken sandwich. Solid sandwich with crispy chicken and plenty of slaw to balance it out. It was served on white bread which was just the right thickness to hold everything together with diminishing the flavor of every bite. We also had a spicy tuna roll and a salmon & avocado roll.

I like how everything is made fresh, and portion size was good for the price. I got take out and it was a long trek home, so I took a bite out of each item at pick-up so that I could give a fair review.: Chicken Katsu Sando ($9.50) - Fried chicken was moist, white milk bread was fluffy, but I wish there was a little more tonkatsu sauce for each bite. Tamago Sando ($9) - This was my favorite item. I enjoyed the creamy chunks and the whole egg sliced in half. Eggs were not over cooked. Great balance and good flavor. White milk bread was fluffy. Tuna Mayo ($3.50) - The cooked tuna and mayo was flavorful and there is a decent amount of filling inside, but I still have my other go to place for onigiris. You have to eat this one quickly because the nori will lose the crunch since it's directly touching the rice. Eel avocado roll ($7) - I enjoyed their BBQ eel sauce, but the portion size of the eel was significantly smaller than that of the other 2 rolls. Spicy Tuna Roll ($7) - Spicy tuna was fresh and flavorful. I preferred this over the salmon avocado roll. Salmon Avocado Roll ($7) - Salmon was fresh and portion was good, but the salmon did lack the slight sweetness I enjoy from high quality raw salmon. The sushi rice for all 2 rolls was nicely made as well. There was not too much vinegar, so it did not mask the natural taste of the fish. Complemented well.

Some Kani stick is purely fish and some have crab extract in it which I can't have. I wish there menu had more details/informations but most sushi places don't list what is in the rolls and expect you to know it or Google it.

Ordered: 2 rolls for $8.95: eel avocado & spicy scallop rolls and a Salmon Eel Don. Lots of rice for don and good portion fish. Zoomed in photo of the spicy scallop sushi showed it was California roll with the chopped spicy scallops on top. Overall, enjoyed my lunch. Would definitely come back to try other dons and noodles.
