Excellent food, excellent service, immaculate vibes. Sat in the outdoor eating area. Great date spot. Went on a Friday at around 3. Wasn't crazy busy. Had the outdoor area to ourselves at first. Sushi is so good. We got the special sushi platter and the cheesecake for dessert. The molasses gave it a creme brûlée flavor. Very tasty! Drinks were delicious. read more

Pros: Miso Caesar salad, Brussels sprouts, sushi options 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. read more

Great sushi restaurant. Just dropped in with a friend for a casual dinner. Ordered the classic spicy salmon, spicy tuna combo. Both were good. We really liked the Brussel sprouts, so flavorful, good portion for two people. My cocktail was really really good. Nicely flavored, the banana flavor was light but the drink was well balanced and the presentation was fantastic. Servers were kind, quick and he actually recommended the Tokyo Umami Banana, so now I think I would trust him with my life. read more

Such a great experience at trad room! The food was so good, especially the lobster sushi roll (not pictured), the squid and the steak (if you order this get the fries with the special seasoning - our waitress recommended it and she was correct). There was also a sweet moment where the bar tender was surprised with a cake for his birthday, and the whole team seemed to be involved which was really nice. read more

I can't believe I hadn't been here before. I passed by it several times until a friend and I were shopping on Malcom x and decided to get brunch. I really enjoyed the decor and plates and dishes. The miso soup with flavorful and full of miso and tofu. I also had the salmon Cesar salad and chicken katsu. The menu is also designed really nicely. There are so many options that it is challenging to decide. There is a lovely mocktail and drink menu. The service was sufficient. The server gave us a good amount of time to decide and she didn't hover when the check came. I like being able to sit and the garden and catch with a friend over a meal. read more

- great service - great lunch special - good edamame - burger loos delish - i enjoyed the sake sangria - i enjoyed the strawberry gin drink - the grilled shrimp is amazing - fried chicken bits were just ok - Shachihoko Tempura Roll was really good - crispy tuna sushi was alright read more

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

Food is great but unfortunately their staff isn't trained very well in customer service. Floor managers contradict each other on lunch takeout policy and make the trip there a waste of time. Their floor managers are immature kids with huge egos vs maturity humility to understand the importance of customer service. No adults in the building to guide them. 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

I have been here a handful of times and it checks off everything on the list, every time. The cocktails are inventive, the service is great, and the lighting helps create a wonderful date-night atmosphere. Most recently my table was being tended to by a server-in-training (Alice? Alex??) who absolutely knocked it out of the park. Can't wait until our next visit. 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

Excellent service 4. A perfect date spot! 5. Bar seating is limited and there's a small outdoor space in the back read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

Spent $44 on this food. The seared salmon bowl is just salmon over rice and nothing else for $22 no greenery.

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

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
