Literally can walk to this place and I will do so more often. Great playlist Great vibes and even better hospitality (shoutout to Angelic (I believe that's her name, manager) for consistently checking up on us and hitting us with the extra top tier service.) The food... -waygu steak : cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. Huge fan of the mushooms that accompanied the steak and could of easily been a dish in itself -shrimp tempura roll was decent but nothing mind blowing. -miso ceasar salad was savory and creamy. Everything you want in an exceptional salad. -karrage fried chicken PERFECTION, we ordered another for the table. I wanted to lick the spicy mayo out of the bowl but didn't want to embarrass myself. -koruto cheesecake served with black sesame ice cream, the combo was heavenly. Cheesecake wasn't too sweet with the semi savory sesame ice cream was the perfect bite. Had a few drinks -A5 which had a waygu infused bourbon miso almond and blue cheese. Savory with a hint of sweetness and went down smoothing -fujiko Martini...think of Coquito but elevated with a hint of coffee. If you havent already pulled up to this neighborhood gem do so NEOW. read more

ordered food to go here on a whim after a professional development. i walked in and was greeted fairly quickly by a hostess. the restaurant was dimly lit and the bar was fascinating, i'll have to pop back in to actually enjoy the space. the food held well on my almost hour commute home. the fish was fresh, no aftertaste & my favorite was surprisingly the scallop which melted on my tongue. check them out! read more

Trad Room - Chirashi Bowl - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Went to Trad Room over the weekend. The decor and atmosphere are great. They shared that they make the juices in their drink mixes in house. The menu is great and our food was delish. My friend and I were having a great time, until... we saw a server bowing his nose into one of the linen napkins. The kind used to wrap silverware in. First of all. Gross. But he did not wash his hands afterwards. Then as servers were passing by the pick-up station, they kept knocking the lids to the take out containers on to the floor. And would pick them up and use them for take out orders. So disappointed that I now can't go back. read more

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! read more

My bads, the person named Lisa P. who wrote to me under the guise of a customer who supposedly sat next to me, is linked with the guy waiter with the dyed blonde hair and black facial hair that I complained about in my initial review. She wrote a fake review on 2/22/25 commenting how wonderful his service was to try to negate my review of lack of service or attention. The dude never showed up to his table! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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 read more

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). read more

Trad Room - Yuzu Olives - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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. read more

The kokuto cheesecake was incredible!! Such an interesting and exquisite flavor and texture.

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! read more

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!

Literally obsessed with this place. Been coming here over the past 2 years whenever I am in BK and they have definitely made some upgrades to the place, but LOVE that the food is still amazing and they have kept their daily happy hour. Their HH is so great, their drinks are perfectly balanced both the alcohol ones and N/A. I'm not even a vegan but their vegan ramen is my favorite. Honestly I haven't had anything here I didn't like. Great place to meet up with friends or go on a little date. The staff is always super sweet and make great recommendations. If you're in the area, don't miss this little gem. read more

Overall 3.5 stars. The izakaya scene has certainly taken off in New York in recent years, with a number of excellent options across Midtown and Flushing, primarily. But I was very excited about trying an option situated on a fairly quiet stretch of Halsey Street, as I always find unexpected destinations whenever I venture in this part of Bed-Stuy. The cocktails and appetizers were excellent. I had a cinnamon-seasoned white Negroni that went down smoothly. The kewpie-topped brussel sprouts were the best dish of the evening, and the agedashi tofu had a nice texture from what I assume was potato starch based batter. I was less a fan of the sushi options. I was expecting something a bit more unique for this otherwise curious izakaya, but my tamago and vegetarian rolls were both pretty bare bones. read more

I was visiting a friend in Bed-Stuy and he said there was a "cool Japanese restaurant nearby that you're guaranteed to love." I have to say, he was absolutely right. Trad Room is amazing. The first thing you'll notice is the decor and the ambiance- the bar is beautiful, the lighting is really gorgeous, and there was a DJ in the corner on the 1s and 2s (this was dinner on Saturday, so maybe this is a weekend thing). Overall, it felt like a place that was effortlessly cool without trying too hard. The food was spectacular. I only had two items here- the vegetable sushi roll, and the vegan dan dan ramen noodles. Both were fantastic. The sushi had shiitake mushroom, avocado, and cucumber, and was served with a little spicy sauce. It was one of the best vegetable rolls I've had, the quality of the ingredients was top-notch and the proportions were on-point. The dan dan ramen was truly special- I'll be thinking about this dish a lot until the next time I come back here, which despite my living a 40 minute train ride away, is going to be very soon. The broth was rich, spicy, and extremely flavorful. It had a wonderful umami flavor that's so difficult to find as a vegetarian. The tofu was marinated to perfection, the noodles were toothsome and had just the right amount of chew. It was a massive portion, so they did not skimp on serving size- that was also much appreciated. Sidenote: my friend had the pork tonkatsu, and he couldn't stop raving about it. Overall, I'd say this place had a great vibe and even better food. I can't recommend it highly enough. read more

They will kick you out as soon as you pay the bill. it was very rude, and kind of ruined an evening because a dinner is all after dinner conversation. There was no excuse for it because a) we had a reservation, b) we ordered quite I bit including drinks and desert, c) we had not been lingering; we hadn't gotten the chance. The food is yummy enough. For the price, it could be better. The cheesecake is to die for. Our waitress was lovely. read more

The food was delightful. The brussels came highly recommended by a friend but they weren't the highlight for me. They were good but not the best to me. I really enjoyed the crispy spicy tuna and don't be fooled by that little jalapeño - it's HOT! and I love spice but that thing KICKED me in the throat lol Now, the branzino was the star. So much so, that my friend nearly smashed by himself and the suggested serving was for two. It was well seasoned but please beware of all the tiny little bones. They sneak up on you in every bite. Overall, really great experience. Also ordered a carafe of the house sake which was wonderful and paired well with everything we ordered. The seating is a bit close but it's a nice intimate restaurant in Brooklyn I'd def revisit. Our server was a bit all over the place and didn't seem too invested in guiding us through the menu as first timers but we survived without his help. Def a bang for your buck also, which is much appreciated! read more

One of my favorite meals in NYC. Not a single item ordered to fault and that is saying something about the place. Went here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday so unlike my usual style, I took a backseat and let him decide the menu. Surely something could have been a miss but to our surprise it was just one hit after another, and we only ended on a high with a Chocolate Fondant Cake at the end. To drink, I got the Sparkle (5/5) Cocktail: It was a Soju based cocktail that I enjoyed so very much. Not too sweet, a little umami and citrusy- just as I like it. To eat, we got: Cucumber Salad (5/5): the chili oil, fried shallots and the dressing (minus the cilantro- per boyfriend's birthday demand) made this beyond basic, a perfect palate cleanser and flavor bomb to go with the other dishes that followed. Agedashi Tofu (4.5/5): the lightly fried batter surrounding the tofu was so thin, a little chewy and crispy- unique to others had in the past. Nanban Chicken (5/5): subtly sweet and sour and blatantly more-ish. And the pungent tartar sauce dip- what a flavorful journey. I'd get more of this if my stomach was a limitless pit. At this point we were quite full, so did we stop? Absolutely not! It's a birthday dinner after all. Crispy Tuna (5/5): four pieces of delicious tuna on a block of fried rice. Glad we impulsively ordered this upon our server's recommendation. Salmon Skin and Crab Roll (4.5/5): this was also absolutely yum but some pieces saltier than others. Perhaps some had a generous pour of the soy sauce but the others were fab. Now obviously desserts fit in a different stomach entirely and who can say no to birthday cake? The Chocolate Fondant was a 10/10. The vanilla bean ice cream on top and fresh fruits circling the crown of fondant were enhancements to something fabulous. Overall fabulous meal, great service- never felt rushed, and the vibes kept us eating and enjoying longer than we thought. read more

Hit up their happy hour!! Monday - Sunday 4pm - 6:30 pm Things to order: Shishito peppers and Nangban fried chicken are good starters. If you are with 4 people, I would definitely recommend the special trad room platter that comes with: 1 rainbow real crab roll, 1 dragon roll, 1 shachihoko roll, 1 crispy spicy tuna, 1 vegetarian roll. Oysters were fresh, ask for the citrus migonette sauce as it doesn't come out. Everything was delicious and came out in a timely manner. Staff were happy and sweet. WIll be back to try more things! read more

We ordered delivery through grubhub and the food is nothing short of exceptional. We shared the STA bowl and it was the bomb along with the shishito peppers.

This place was a fabulous find! Fantastic atmosphere, food and service were outstanding!

I've only been here twice and both have been to-go orders. The first time I went I ordered sushi because I was craving it. I ordered the crispy spicy tuna and the salmon skin and crab roll. It fixed the craving but didn't make me obsess over their sushi. This time I went and ordered a beef burger. I want to still try the restaurant to stay rather then to go. However, I've decided their food is meh. Nothing about their meals are memorable and makes me go oh I have to go back to the trad room. The burger was good, smelled amazing but I wasn't left like Oohh I can't wait to go there again or I have to tell someone about it. The restaurant is a vibe, small/medium-ish for a nyc restaurant. I've had a few friends mention they've gone to the restaurant on a date. I would say it is a cute date spot. The staff is always super helpful. read more
