Shalom Japan - Brooklyn

We went for the 3 course dinner on Christmas day and were blown away. The food was delicious. A lot of fusion places will put one country’s food in a taco or something and call it fusion. It’s lazy. But not here. This place actually carefully crafted Jewish-Japanese fusion dishes that work amazingly well together. Will absolutely be returning.

Pretty mids and way over priced. I was here like 5 years ago and it was way better. Turned into an auto pilot spot. The only dish that was very solid was the okonomiyaki latke. Otherwise food was nothing special. Service didn’t hit, and atmosphere was ehh. Def would not return with the selection of restaurants in the city. A good idea, but has no match to its hype. Left unimpressed by it all.

As the name suggest an interesting contrast of Jewish and Japanese cuisine. Definitely add the egg to any ramen. Some of the more exotic and luxurious dishes when opened are no longer on the menu. The A5 Waygu hotpot is on my list to try.

I havent tried ramen here. So it’s too early to write review. But so far, i liked taste of food.

Highlyyyyy recommend. The brunch was great- the matzah ball soup ramen is better than any other attempt I’ve had. The rustic fries were a great shared app. Shout out to our server who found a way to add just broth to our check so my wife could literally drink the broth.
