chicken katsu
Darlene T.

Love this spot! Came here a few times at this point and it never disappoints. The chicken katsu is amazing!! Also, you can get literally any of the sushi rolls and they are just so good!! Pictured is the kizami roll which is my fav but they also have the Nola roll that has crawfish. Super interesting combos and always so tasty. This miso Caesar is delicious as well. Small and cozy restaurant with super friendly owner and staff. They make you feel right at home. Highly recommended go to spot in the neighborhood.

The 5-star average rating doesn't surprise me at all! I'm fortunate to have friends with good taste who recommended this place. It really is a special restaurant with some unique menu items. The setting is pretty cozy and casual and I'm pretty sure we were served by the owner herself. The photos of the food look as good as they tasted.

Gulf shrimp & Louisiana crawfish dumplings

I would have never thought of fusing Cajun/Creole and Japanese food, but what they're cooking up at Kinoko is sooo right and fun! The blend between each cuisine's comfort foods and flavors is seamless and the flavor profiles and textures truly elevate the experience. There were plenty of creative plant-based options that surprised a carnivore like myself. The jackfruit sneauxcrab blew our minds- spot on texture and flavor. The star of the night had to be the jambalaya fried rice. Japanese omurice with the flavors of a Southern jambalaya... Do yourself a favor and try it. They slice the omelet at the table as well! We sat at the bar as a group of four on a Friday night and had plenty of space for the many dishes we ordered! The barstaff and servers were lively and friendly, and I'll definitely be back!

Oh and these gulf shrimp dumplings were my jam!!!!

The food was amazing and service was excellent. I will be back. I arrived early and the kitchen was preparing food and it smelled so good inside.

My hubby and I went for his bday dinner and wow! It was all our favs in one place. New Orleans flair and fusion into Japanese and sushi! Gotta love it! The Nola Roll was incredible. And don't sleep on the matcha lava cake. My hubby was in heaven! So many booming and unique flavors. The servers are fun and having a great time right along with you! I cannot wait to go back! The owner is just lovely and makes the spot a vibrant place to be!

Tucked away in Greenpoint, Kinoko mixes Japanese and Southern flavors in a way that hooked me right away. The dumplings with lobster and fried rice? Good stuff. But let me rave about the real star: the matcha cake and ice cream. It's seriously amazing! Sweetness and matcha goodness in perfect balance, making me crave more. If you're around Greenpoint and want something different, Kinoko is the place to be for flavors that'll make you want seconds.

10/10 Tried this on a whim after seeing it on pulsd and I'm so happy I did, this is the perfect combination of New Orleans flavor and the freshness of Japanese cuisine. The owner is a hostess with the mostest who offers that warm southern hospitality that's so hard to come by in NYC and makes you feel comfortable which just elevates the experience I tried the New Orleans roll and I'm still thinking about it, the fried rice is also amazing. A definite hidden gem And must try

I'm so happy that this restaurant is just a 2 min walk from my apartment. The food here is amazing…read moreand the ambiance is nice and peaceful. Food and alcohol is fairly priced and food is flavorful/well seasoned which is hard to find in a Japanese restaurant. The service is quick and food didn't take a while to come out. We ordered shishito peppers, corn ribs, beef sukiyaki, pork belly wrapped enoki mushrooms, and Miyazaki a5 Wagyu hot stone grill. * Shishito peppers 5/5 My favorite out of everything we ordered. It's a MUST TRY! The sauce it's in has yuzu so it's nice, savory, a lil sweet, a lil sour, and a little citrusy - it's perfect for my tastebuds. Literally could not get over how good the sauce was. It also tasted good to dip the corn ribs in that sauce!! * Corn ribs 5/5 Grilled corn ribs with seasoning and cheese, super simple but super tasty. Can never go wrong with corn ribs! * Beef Sukiyaki 5/5 Nice and flavorful broth, the meat is tender, there's also a knot of clear noodles at the bottom of the bowl. * Pork Belly Wrapped enoki 5/5 GOOD. Who doesn't love pork belly AND mushrooms (only crazy people) ?! Amazing flavor, nice and smokey, with crunchy enoki mushrooms * Miyazaki A5 Wagyu 5/5 Good, nice to order once just to try since it is a little on the pricier side bc it's A5 Wagyu, personally I'd rather go to an A5 Wagyu restaurant if I want A5 Wagyu. Nonetheless, it was nice to try! This was enough food to share between my sister and I, without feeling overly full and bloated. Definitely will be coming back regularly since it's so close to home.

I'm going to give Tora some extra points because it's SO hard to find good asian food in this area…read moreof Brooklyn. Tora I think is a true jack of all trades, while many restaurants try to excel in one area I think Tora does amazing at multiple. It's good for sushi, ramen, noodles, etc. Just an overall really well-rounded japanese spot. I think their serving sizes are also very good. Though I'll say I don't think Tora particularly excels in one thing it's not going to be the best ramen or sushi you've had in your life but, for something that's close? Affordable? Has no line? It's definitely the best. Very above average in every regard. Haven't eaten here in person so can't speak on their service but at least their food? Great get pick-up/delivery all the time

The fatty pork belly pairs excellently with the shoyu brother. The vegetable toppings give a light, refreshing contrast to the oily pork belly. Overall, loved this spot! Plenty of seating with a newly added bar. The service is a 10/10!

It was a cozy, quaint atmosphere and the perfect day for some ramen. My good friend and I went on…read morea rainy Saturday late afternoon. It was just what we needed that day. He ordered the Honey roasted duck ramen and I ordered the spicy salmon miso ramen. Before our ramen came out, we ordered our drinks which were a Thai Iced Tea (can't go wrong with that) and he ordered the Lychee Iced Tea. For apps we had the Veggie Spring Rolls and the Edamame which were so crunchy with just the right touch of salt. We may have visited on a slower day since it was raining, but I can tell that it is a popular eatery and can get busy and packed. We lucked out and were seated immediately and didn't wait long for our food. The server kept refilling our water glasses which was much appreciated. I thought my cup was half full and i'd look up and all of a sudden theres even more water poured. Overall it was a cute restaurant and would be perfect for a lunch. Although we had ramen, they have an extensive menu. Check them out!

This was our second visit, and both times delivered a great meal. It is an intimate spot, and…read morewalking in on a weekday morning meant we had the place entirely to ourselves. Soft Japanese music played in the background, creating a calm, relaxing setting. They started us off with hot tea while we looked over the morning menu. Breakfast keeps things simple with a single set meal where you choose your fish, select how many vegetable sides you want, and add optional extras. Our cook was friendly and skilled at the counter. Our set included roasted cod, white rice, miso soup, tamagoyaki, tsukemono, and seasoned vegetables. Every single item tasted fresh and well-balanced. Between the quiet setting and the quality of the cooking, it was a standout morning.

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.

RAMEN: all the broths are either beef based, chicken based or vegetarian (no pork based broth)…read more Depending on what you order, they offer a variety of noodles--wavy or thin. All the ramens were pretty good. The serving size of noodles is perfect, just enough to be filling. - If you want a creamier broth that you might get from a pork broth, I'd recommend the miso (mix of mushroom broth and oat milk). - The niboshi is pretty tolerable spice. The spicy fish oil gives you a kick at the back of your throat, so not really a broth for sipping before mixing it. The pork belly is less fatty than what I prefer but the broth was plenty flavor. It comes with just bean sprouts, scallions and bonito flakes. If you want more toppings, an egg is $3. SEATING / AMBIANCE: 6 tables - 3 two-seat tables and 3 four-seat tables, and a row of high tops. It's a fairly small place, but when we went when they first opened during lunch time, it was completely empty so walk in was not an issue. Quiet with RNB playing.

TLDR: 5/5! For excellent service and great food. We came in last minute with a group of 8 and they…read morestill accommodated us and served us to their best abilities despite only 1 person on the floor to wait and serve. Also one of the BEST broths I have had in New York. It is comparable to some in Japan with how good that beef broth is. The chicken broth is excellent as well and worked since my friend has a dietary restriction. Sadly could not try the karaage since they sold out! Get it if you can. Food (5/5): probably some of the best ramen you can get in Brooklyn! You take a sip and it has so much rich flavor you can tell they took a long time to cook it. Just the right amount of salt that leads to explosive umami flavor with everything else included. Only downside is that the egg is an additional 2-3 dollars boosting the ramen price to 20 per bowl. Other than that, it's a great bowl of ramen I will be going again. I heard the steak was good from my friends but we got the okanomiyaki, it's pretty big, delicious, but only get it if you are a large fan of them. It's pretty pricey for what it is. Cucumber salad was delicious and fresh, nice hit of spiciness. Service (4.5/5): The person helping us is super nice, though there is a language barrier and that might cause some misunderstandings. I only brought it down half a point because you aren't going to get that understanding but they are very nice and try their best. Nothing wrong but it does get busy and you might have to call them for refills or other issues. The chefs are also very friendly. Cleanliness and interior (5/5): you can tell it's rather small, but modern and chic. Great for a night out to eat as they are open late. Great casual dinner spot and has a fantastic Lofi jazzy playlist that adds to it. Combined with the unforgettable beef broth, and you have a night to remember. J's Parking Advice- it's pretty packed at night because there is a lot to do around. Parking garages are a little far off too but everything is walkable once you find a spot. There is a street parking but it's hard to find, you might have to park far and walk there or public transport. We did take around 10-20 mins to find parking. So good luck! Overall: it's a spot I have to go back to especially since they sold out of the karaage! If that doesn't tell you how good it is not sure what else! Definitely a local favorite and a hidden gem
