    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.

    My friends and I did the coupon deal which was pretty solid!! I don't know if the 2 coupons were enough for 4 people, but was pretty good for 3 people - 4 "large" dishes and 4 drinks! IMO, the large dishes weren't that large, but we still enjoyed the Omurice and the Carbonara. The ramen wasn't what I expected - more of a dense/soupier broth. The staff had great vibes.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    Jackfruit sneauxcrab tamaki
    Jordana J.

    I met the owner's mom while waiting for a very delayed flight last summer down to New Orleans after spending 2 days in 2 airports. She was a riot, and told me her daughter moved to NYC and was opening a NOLA inspired Asian fusion restaurant. My brain lit up, and I started following the Instagram page. It took me 10 months after that to get there, and it was BEYOND worth the wait I went with my friend who was actually supposed to go with me on that flight last summer, and it's walkable from his apt (which is now dangerous in the best way). We walked in and I recognized Kelseay from social media, and introduced myself as we'd talked a bit on IG prior. She immediately knew who I was, was so welcoming and we were seated at one of the window seats. The whole place is so warm, decorated in such lovely ways, and I Love how much purple there is. Given the name of the restaurant is mushroom in Japanese, it's ironic that I don't eat mushrooms (and I cannot handle spice). She was super informative about what vegan options I could have in general or with possibly omitting anything spicy and mushrooms. I got the jackfruit tamaki and the mango roll sans Sriracha. The tamaki was so good and unique that I got a second one, and the way they use jackfruit in place of crab is unlike anything I've experienced. It was happy hour, so the tamaki and 2 wines on the menu were half off. The wine was delicious, the tamaki I liked more than the sushi roll, and then kelseay asked if we were interested in dessert... She said there was a matcha cake, and I didn't need to hear anything else. It wasn't 100% for me ingredients wise, and I didn't care. This was one of the best most different desserts ive ever had-it's basically a matcha lava cake and comes with a matcha kit Kat bar and ice cream on the side. I was so in awe of what I'd just eaten I could honestly barely form sentences. The entire experience was incredible, unique, not like anything I've ever had, and I cannot WAIT to go back. We got there right after they opened, and it quickly filled up. I am so thankful for that plane trip last year I wasn't originally supposed to take, and for Kelseay and her mom Jer for being some of the most fun and kind people I've met in a while. Once you meet both you really can tell they're related, I'm so excited for them and to recommend so many people to go check out Kinoko

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.

It's been open for a few years, so clearly it has a good enough formula to keep the neighborhood happy. I have been here once before, but returned last week after dining several meals at Tomoni in Jackson Heights. Apparently, the owners are friends. Nonetheless, I needed to make the comparison. After my first few bites of their Tora Don and Chirashi Don, it was clear that this restaurant has the better quality seafood. Each slice of sashimi had vibrant colors, clean taste, and the proper texture. Tomoni is not bad, but fall slightly short of this caliber. With that said, there is an even farther gap between their rice quality. Though Tora is very good, Tomoni produces nearly perfect texture and acidity for my taste buds. Other than the best omakase restaurants in NYC, Tomoni shines as one of the best versions of sushi rice in the five boroughs. Service is good and space is cute. If I have a craving for some decent Japanese food, I would drive 20 minutes here for a meal anytime.

    While wandering through Bed-Stuy on a weekday evening, my husband and I decided to try out this new…read moresushi spot. It wasn't terrible--but I had a lot of mixed feelings. Food: 3/5 I'm a huge sushi fan, so I was excited when I saw a deluxe sashimi set on the menu. Unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark. The scallop was thinly sliced and lacked the rich texture I was hoping for. The salmon and other cuts were decent, but short and oddly shaped--chunky yet small, which made the whole presentation feel a bit off for something labeled deluxe. We also tried to branch out and ordered the short rib entree. For $21, it was shockingly small--definitely a single-person portion, not sharable. I added extra ikura to a salmon donburi bowl for $2, but it was barely a teaspoon's worth--just enough to say it was there. Oddly, the salmon slices in that bowl were thinner than the sashimi we had just eaten, and overall, it left me still hungry even after sharing a maki roll. Lastly, my husband ordered a green salad, which somehow took the entire meal service to arrive. When it finally came, it was just plain romaine, cucumbers, radish, and dressing. For a dinner that clocked in at over $150 (after tip), we definitely left underwhelmed. Service: 3/5 This part wasn't bad, just confusing. We were seated quickly, but the pacing of the meal was strange. Our seaweed salad and soups came out promptly, but the green salad came last, after the hot dishes and nearly after my husband finished eating. Also, a small thing--but when I'm paying $16 for four oysters, I want to know what kind they are. The menu just said "West Coast oysters," but our server couldn't tell us the variety or origin. Not a huge deal, but it added to a general lack of polish that didn't quite match the pricing. I don't think I'd return. For the price, there are better sushi options in Brooklyn with higher quality, better portions, and clearer service. Still, I appreciate new spots opening up in the neighborhood, and I'm always happy to try something new. Hopefully they refine the menu and service with time.

We started with the salmon belly carpaccio which I'd say isn't really a carpaccio because the salmon isn't sliced as thinly as you'd expect. But! I mention that just to set expectations. Nomenclature aside, it's an excellent appetizer. Served in a truffle and ponzu sauce, the salmon is lightly seared which yields two different textures to the fish. It practically melts in your mouth. Highly recommend this dish. For my entree I went with the trio don, which is 6 pieces of sashimi served over your choice of plain or sushi rice (sushi rice for me). The fish was fresh and flavorful. The portion was perfect for me. My boyfriend ordered a yellowtail roll and enjoyed that as well. We also shared a carafe of the cold house sake. I'd definitely come back and try more items on the menu. It's great for sharing and trying new dishes. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the prices were very reasonable.
