Cucumber salad
Shelby C.

Dope ass experience! From the bar tender to the sushi, to the mocktail options. Ohhh did I say cutesy . The area has really evolved the 12 years I've frequented to visit my sister and it never disappoints. Always a gem like this. We arrived a little before the happy hour and dinner crowd. Sat at the bar and had a couple of drinks each, grabbed a couple of rolls and explored the very uniquely small establishment that is tiny but moves some serious mountains particularly with Togo orders and I still wasn't able to locate the kitchen...yes it's that quant. Perfect date spot or just a spot to ketchup as I was, would patron again for sure. Cheers!

Food, drink, and staff were amazing. Cute date night vibe, or great for a group of friends. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area!

The food is actually really good. I happened upon the restaurant because I was trying to get to a different Japanese restaurant in the area Glad I stayed. Pictured is the fried chicken (highly recommend) but I also had kitchen, fries, shrimp and avocado rolls and two delicious mocktails made by the bartender named EJ (or RJ). If you need a mocktail, ask for him! The restaurant was restaurant was really busy last night, so I sat at the bar as a solo patron. They had a DJ. He was playing what I might call "elevator music," but it fit the vibe. I recommend this place.

I had dinner at this restaurant and everything was good. They had a lot of good things to eat. They had a happy hour menu and I ordered something off of it that I enjoyed. I also had some other food and I thought everything was good. I also thought the prices were reasonable for the food which also came in decent portions. They had a heater on the patio which kept things warm out there. The heater was having some issues so they tended to it to keep it hot. That was not enough and takes a lot of time for one person to maintain so they kept going into the room behind the heater and hitting the wall with a hammer. They did that 3 or 4 times until the heater worked well. I think any machine that is fixed by hitting it with a hammer is cool, and it is always a pleasure to witness.

Salmon Avo Roll

Great service, decent food, and tasty drinks. Second time dining in, I like their ramen but their sushi is brilliant. Great light afternoon lunch. Had the spicy shrimp and salmon avocado rolls. For dessert matcha ice cream and I had one of their mocktail drinks. It was cucumber, grapefruit, and lime juice. Refreshing and great on a hot day. Indoor dining and back patio seating. It's dim and rustic. Reminds me of an old 20th century bar restaurant. Great for dates, causal meetings, and have a water closet next to kitchen. You can see the chef's cook too.

Great spot in Bed Stuy. Here is what you should know: 1. Excellent happy hour with $13 cocktails and bites. Get everything. 2. Shiso Negroni might be the best one in the city... no contest 3. Excellent service 4. A perfect date spot! 5. Bar seating is limited and there's a small outdoor space in the back

Matcha custard pie

Wedding reception for 25 here was phenomenal. Perfect size room for our event. Alexandra V was our server - she was amazing from the moment we arrived. She kept drinks filled and food was wonderful. I was concerned that some guests might not like the sushi but there were plenty of great options for everyone. They made our night extra special.

Happy Friday, After caring for some street trees today, my friend and I decided to patronize this business. It was not busy at all and fully staffed, but unfortunately, the hospitality was lacking. The only bright spots were my servers, Jaz and Justin, who both acknowledged us and made us feel welcome. Justin, who just started his shift, even took a moment to check in with us after we finished. We sat in the back and noticed the owner and a newborn baby were right next to us. It seemed like they were testing new menu items, as the chef came upstairs with a Tupperware of meat choices. The owner even walked off leaving the baby unattended, then returned later. As a business owner, especially when offering a tasting menu while patrons are dining, a simple greeting or a smile would go a long way. It felt like the business thought they could just come into the community and operate without being hospitable. I will say the food was good, but I'd much rather have mediocre food with excellent service any day. And to add insult to injury, they charge a 3% fee for credit card payments. Ramen was great, but the service left a lot to be desired. Justin and Jaz, you are the true rock stars. I can get good ramen anywhere, but genuine hospitality makes all

Yuzu Olives
Miranda M.

Came to Trad Room with high expectations as the atmosphere was phenomenal. Inside it's beautiful, with good music and ambient lighting. We didn't have a reservation but the hostess, who was super sweet, helped seat us outside. The rest of our experience wasn't that great. Drinks were fantastic, but despite the menu having amazing options, we felt our food was a little off. It came out in under 10 minutes and was lukewarm. We felt a bit rushed by our server to be in and out in under an hour. Olives were great and sushi had some good flavors. About 2 hours after we returned home, my friend and I became sick. Without going into details, we suspect we got food poisoning. I'd love to return and try again as the yuzu olives were so great and the rest of the menu looks amazing, but I am a little hesitant given the nature of the menu items (lots of sushi).

The concept outshone the execution for me here. I was initially impressed by the sprawling space, sexy booths, and mood lighting, with a bop of a playlist. The Japanese izakaya menu with interesting sounding cocktails was good overall, but on a dish by dish level had mixed results. Besides the ambience, the cocktails were a highlight, especially one with coconut milk. The karaage was satisfying, but the branzino, which our waiter told us we absolutely must order was a bit of a disappointment with an abundance of bones that required way too much labor to eat, especially for the flavor output. I feel like we were upsold unnecessarily there, something I hate experiencing. The vegan dan dan ramen was decent, but awkward to share. The menu structure was such that appetizers might be shareable but the entrees were definitely not portioned to share. I guess we're just so used to menus designed for sharing these days (restaurants profit more from this format). Long wait times for the food damped our experience, but the ambience absolutely hit the mark.

Spicy ramen
Anya T.

Walking in felt as if I entered the hot spot of bedstuy. I arrived around 8pm and it was packed. They have a large indoor section with tables, a nice size bar and I backyard area with additional seating. It's casual, definitely a place to eat with friends, date night or a lone meal or cocktails. I had this really lovely orange wine and the spicy ramen. Luckily, it was more of an essence of heat without the actual spice. The broth was super flavorful and the pork chashu was tender as heck, the fat melted in my mouth and was a burst of umami. Would I go back? Heck yeah. The staff was friendly, the bartenders were kind, the food was fire and the drinks were goodt! Check em out!

I go here all the time -- Great music -- Amazing staff -- Fresh large sushi 10/10 -- Always get a quick cocktail when I take out 20/10 !!

Negihama roll
Lisa R.

The restaurant is essentially across from my brother's place, so it was a great place to go for lunch on foot. There is also a lunch only menu, and my brother had previously only been here for dinner. We sat outside since it was unusually warm in NY. Eric R. and I ordered hot genmaicha tea. I ordered a negihama roll for the table. Each of us got different noodle dishes for lunch. I got the soft shell crab mazeman which was so delicious and had all of my favorite flavors in it. The menu is extensive for lunch and dinner, so I think it would be fun to return and try new things. I am glad my brother is in the neighborhood so I can pop by next time I am in Brooklyn! Itadakimasu!

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

Unfortunately this place fell very flat. Leading with what we liked: Their mocktail offerings were good, promising a 0.0% ABV which is hard to come across when mocktails are offered. They serve oysters, which adds to that aphrodisiac experience of the oh so 'wow this is a former brothel!'. The bartenders and servers were fast and very sociable with the more sociable customers. The immediate entrance is very tight, and it was uncomfortable navigating the space. We expected there'd be more seating in the back, which there was, but it was limited and not offered to us until we asked for it. We honestly had no clue where it would be and only asked because of how this place was advertised. While it was comfy once we made our way back there, it was reminiscent of a lounge style bar space that almost any bar could replicate with the right room and budget. We didn't feel as though this hit the spot and were let down by this experience. I'm not sure if I can judge the menu of drinks/ foods as expensive, but we left hungry bc we couldn't justify some of the prices. In addition, I've seen a lot of complaints about the volume of the music: it's definitely loud at the front but a lot lower in that back lounge space. It's as loud as any bar's music level would be, but truth be told we were expecting music that matched the vibe of what was advertised and yes, at a lower volume.

I've made it a point to visit every vinyl listening bar that I learn of in town, after enjoying the shared experience of someone curating a select vinyl list in intimate spaces in Tokyo. Few have been able to replicate the experience, but Honeycomb Hi Fi Lounge comes close. That the space is narrow with just a few seats along the bar and a few tables mimics the Japanese experience best, where you can almost have it so the whole room is having one conversation together. The music is the focus. The cocktail menu is rather simple, and my Stormbringer drink, with dark rum and ginger beer was not anything to write home about, but $15 is pretty low for cocktails these days so I'll take it. If they introduced new cocktails to the menu with more interesting ingredients I'd be more inclined to return, but the vibes overall are pretty good and the staff really nice.

Was brought here by a dear friend, a neighborhood regular…read more The cocktail was amazing, selection very diverse- many hard-to-find liquors, etc. Bartender was incredibly knowledgable and attentive. My friend and I each order a cocktail, and are catching up. I'm from Brooklyn, however I no longer live here, and this was precious catch-up time with my friend. Then I get interrupted mid-sentence by the old-timer DJ from his low seat in a corner behind the bar. I had bumped the bar with my wrist (bumped my wrist watch as well, not deliberately) and then placed my hand down (granted- more than placed but definitely not slammed), and he decided to warn me that I COULD HAVE made his record skip. It was the Eagles or Santana (far from eclectic, but that's just me). I'm also 99% certain he turned the volume up afterwards, making it even harder to enjoy the company. After that interaction, I struggled to pick it back up with my friend, because I found that distraction very effing rude. When this "4th wall" gets broken down with service, it is hard to then enjoy the space in an uninhibited state. I am all for the Tokyo Vinyl Bar vibe, and I'm also for also giving talent an outlet to share their collection, but this interaction colored my experience, and I closed out after one drink and went elsewhere. I mentioned this to the bartender, and he was kind to offer a buy-back of a rare whiskey, which I did accept. 5 stars for the bartender, but 1 for my experience. I don't like to be harsh or unnecessarily cruel, but this is what it is. I have visited in the past and enjoyed myself. Nonetheless, I certainly won't be coming back.
