Pros: Miso Caesar salad, Brussels sprouts, sushi options…read more Cons: other than sushi very few vegan options, food comes from different kitchens so your starters come out after your entrees unless you specify not to do that. Dan Dan ramen is very spicy even without the chili oil. Cold sesame noodles had a puddle of liquid in the bottom and were not very flavorful. The eggplant dish was fine but also not terribly flavorful. Server was very nice and apologetic and took items off our bill but seems like a disconnect between staff and kitchen. Table next to us complained they got a burger that was cold in the middle. Maybe it was an off night for the kitchen. We sat on the patio because inside is so cramped and loud. The bar is nice if that's your vibe. The Negroni is a nice change and the mocktails are good if you want some N.A. options.

One of my favorite parts was that when you're almost done, you can ask them to pour soup into your bowl, which basically turns it into a whole second dish! Such a fun way to finish the meal. We also tried the wagyu, which was really good, but honestly, the wagyu rice stole the show for me! Overall, great food, service, and ambiance. The restaurant was packed when we went, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time!

Ozakaya has been all over my Instagram feed, especially for its Ozakaya Donburi sets, which remind…read moreme of the viral kaisen-don experiences in Japan where you finish your rice bowl with a flavorful broth. After finally trying it, I can confidently say this place lives up to the hype! If you love Japanese rice bowls featuring high-quality ingredients and an interactive dining experience, this spot deserves a visit. We ordered the Wagyu Hitsumabushi set, featuring A5 wagyu served over rice with egg yolk, wasabi, scallions, rice crackers, and bonito broth. The wagyu was incredibly tender and practically melted in your mouth. The rich, buttery beef paired beautifully with the creamy egg yolk, while the wasabi and scallions added a fresh, sharp kick to cut through the richness. The rice crackers were a great touch, bringing some much-needed crunch and texture to every bite. And of course, finishing the bowl with the bonito broth gives you a completely different experience, transforming the dish into a comforting, savory bowl of goodness. I loved that you could enjoy the rice bowl in different ways rather than having every bite taste the same. We also ordered the Kaishin Don, topped with Hokkaido uni, minced tuna, ikura, and chives over rice. This was another winner! The combination of creamy uni, savory minced tuna, and those little bursts of briny ikura made every bite incredibly satisfying. It almost felt like making your own hand rolls, except everything was conveniently served over a bowl of rice. The different textures and flavors complemented one another so well, and I could happily eat this again. What I particularly appreciate about Ozakaya is that these aren't just pretty bowls made for Instagram. The ingredients, thoughtful combinations, and different ways to enjoy each set make the experience genuinely worthwhile. If you've been eyeing Ozakaya on social media, consider this your sign to go! Both the Wagyu Hitsumabushi and Kaishin Don are worth trying, especially if you're a fan of Japanese rice bowls and premium seafood. Ozakaya definitely delivered on the hype for me!

Cuisine: 8 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 8 Another Thai owned Japanese restaurant specializing in izakaya style cuisine in Bushwick. 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.

Izakaya Tenzo is a welcome addition to the BedStuy food scene. They'd been on my radar for a while…read moreand we stopped in on a Saturday evening when we wanted dinner but not anything too heavy. This fit the bill exactly. 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.
