Maguro Sashimi: Beautifully sliced bluefin tuna, fresh and buttery, served on an adorable cat plate. Ajitama Egg Salad: Rich, creamy, and a little luxe, with trout roe and crunchy potato chips.

Now I want to make clear that I think the Noriya staff was lovely and i love to see a new small business coming to place in this area. But just objectively, Noriya wasn't the most amazing quality. In general, I could still recommend noriya for it's price I think if you work nearby their handroll sets are a great deal and a good amount and they have a great fish to rice ratio. Definitely a plcae that can fill you up if you're craving handrolls real bad. But I will say, as I was eating my handrolls I did have the fear of my stomach later on hurting very present in my mind the entire time. The quality for most of the seafood, just didn't seem or taste quite there (though I did not have any issues from eating here!!!). Their premium rolls were much better in this regard for quality, but still lackluster compared to other restaurants. I suppose one can say you can't complain for their price...but I like to eat with a lack of fear not in it. It could be fun to do their AYCE option, I would splurge for the premium option though, just because I don't know how many of their regular rolls you'd be able to stomach just to be frank.

After ordering, you need to wait 15 minutes before your sandwich is out - at least there's a lot of searing inside so you can definitely enjoy your sandwich inside!! Got the two most popular sandwiches - dill party and chicky. - dill party (4.5/5): this sandwich was almost perfect - the only thing it was missing was the crunch factor. The bread could have been slightly more toasted (it was a bit soft and didn't have a crunch), there could have been more pickled, or the addition of chips in the sandwich, but other than that, the ingredients of the sandwich were so fresh and the turkey was perfect - not dry at all, not too much as it may seem - chicky (4.5/5): this sandwich was a bit heavier. the bread was cooked a bit better but could have been a bit more toasted, but the chicken meatball - holy moly this was perfect. it was so soft and juicy and full of flavor Overall, this sandwich spot is definitely worth the trek and visit to try it out. the only thing that would make it 5 stars is just slightly more toasted sandwiches :)

I read about this restaurant opening as one of the new contender's joining Ridgewood's cohort of…read more"woke-ish" restaurants and, while filling the role as a civic business to bring in something fresh and truly, exciting business to the community, I was a bit underwhelmed with the whole experience- from waiting a good 45 minutes to receive my order of what seemed to be a Boar's Head Turkey cold-cut sandwich with about a cup of dill mayo and to having to actually bus my own plate on top of the overrun pile of dishes stacked atop each other at the entrance of the restaurant, I felt a bit hollow in my expectations from what I espoused earlier during my hearing word of this restaurant not too long ago. As far as the dining area- The restaurant was spacious, composed of neatly lined tables and chairs with their centerpiece luncheonette bar gracing the room. Their al fresco arrangement was remarkable- with their lighter hued blue and green colored metallic seats and tables quietly lining the corner of Menahan street. A softboi haven. I imagined this to be a type of restaurant where a newlywed Mormon couple in the Great Plains would run. A place where pleasantries and support for one's neighbor is what mattered. "Another delicious sandwich, Hezekiah. See you guys in church." but truthfully, I felt a bit sour overriding my preference for the reliable in favor for the novel. A half chicken over yellow rice with plantains might have been the better option for my pocket, palate, and my need to protein max. But woe is me. Regardless, I'll have to respectfully pass on seconds at the Salty Lunch Lady's.

I arrived a lot earlier than my party without a reservation, and i was able to be seated at a table and wait for my friend to come. Which was great because it was 95 degrees outside. It was restaurant week, so i came to try some great food. (I've heard such great things about this restaurant). There weren't a lot of Thai restaurants on the list and definitely not in Brooklyn. So i was delighted to see this one was participating in restaurant week. The lunch special is $45 per person. And it's so much food! We get two appetizers. We chose the fried calamari, and the pork cheek salad. Both of them were a 10/10! The sauce that was coating the calamari was absolutely delicious! I would go back for that time and time again! The pork cheek salad definitely wasn't a salad lol. But it was absolutely delicious as well. It was covered in this tangy but spicy sauce that made the fatty pork perfect. That's another dish i would go for again and again! I ordered the fish sauce fried chicken, which came as a whole 1/2 a chicken with fried garlic and shallots on top. It also came with a beautiful spicy and tangy sauce. It was citrusy, and spicy and so dang good! Omg! It went perfect with the crisp of the chicken. It cut through the oil perfectly. It came with a side of rice. Unfortunately this lunch meal didn't come with dessert, but the dinner menu does. If you haven't tried restaurant week yet, it's a great time to do so, and fish cheeks is a great option. See pics below.

Be sure to make a reservation, as this spot is popular, especially on a nice weekend. We recently had a weekend brunch at one of the tables outside. Everything on the menu sounded good, but we decided on a couple of their specials. Started with the razor clams, which were cooked perfectly and topped with fresh herbs. We also had the fried soft shell crab sandwich with the side of Caesar salad. The sandwich was well balanced with the crunchy crab and herby aioli. The Caesar was light and refreshing. The fish and chips came with two fried filets of white fish and a basket of classic fries. The fish was lightly battered and flakey. The house made tartar sauce was a good complement to it. One of my top meals this year so far! Perfect summer meal!

The steak needed more salt and was a bit chewy but the fries that came w it were good. The fish in the curry could also have used more salt/ flavor.

The salmon on the crispy rice wasn't good, the menu just said salmon so I didn't even know it was supposed to come w the crispy rice which was really overbearing. I only tasted the crispy rice.

Overall, I'd say that Bark Barbecue is one of the better food spots in all of Dumbo, though still not mindblowing. I went several times at peak dinner service (30+ min wait) and the meat was soft, melt-in-your-mouth, flavorful, and incredible, but I went again around 6pm before peak dinner service (no line, yay!) and noticed the pulled pork was very dry and not as piping hot - definitely had been left out under the heat lamps for a while before I received my order. Pros and cons of the timing, I suppose! Love their BBQ sauce. Drenching the meat is my favorite part. Busy spot in Timeout Market but is always my personal must try if I MUST eat in Dumbo.
