Shalom Japan Reviews from The Last Year
Recommended: Pastrami Sando, Mazemen, Challah,
Recommended: Pastrami Sando, Mazemen, Challah, Okonomiyaki I went to this unique restaurant twice. As per the name, they combine Jewish food (and more specifically Ashkenazi/European Jewish food) with Japanese food. Some combinations work but most definitely did not. The staff here is nice and the atmosphere is pretty casual with good lighting. The first time I was here, I ordered the Sweet and Sawa for $18 to drink. This had Toki Japanese whiskey, shochu, honey, yuzu, and egg white. It was a pretty solid cocktail with a good whiskey base and a good mix of sweetness and sourness as per the name. I would recommend it. From the smaller plates, I've tried a few. The best of the cheaper options and likely what you should start with is the $7 Sake Kasu Challah which comes with golden raisin butter. I am a stickler for good challah and while the texture isn't really comparable to a more traditional challah such as from Zadie's, the flavor was nice with a subtle sweetness and there are some black sesame seeds on top which is a unique spin. The golden raisin butter on the side is delicious and makes this worth it even for one challah. If you're in a group, I would also recommend heavily the Okonomiyaki for $19 with wagyu pastrami, sauerkraut, and bonito flakes. This is a very fun spin on this traditional dish with the pickled cabbage adding good saltiness and the bonito adding a slight fishiness. While there isn't much pastrami in there, the bit of it is quite tasty and the portion size is great. I'd honestly order this or the mazemen as your main. Pretty good but overpriced is the Roasted Scallops for $23 with miso panko butter, celery root, parsnip purée, and maitake. While I don't see the influence here from either culture, the scallops are plump and the butter had a good richness and sweetness with some umami. The weakest easily and the worst dish I've had here by far is the Lion's Mane Karaage for $18 with Japanese fried mushrooms and pickled chilies. Karaage is associated with the good crispiness and crunch and these mushrooms lack that entirely having an unappetizing texture. The lack of mayo or any sauce didn't help either. For larger courses, I have tried a bunch but most of them have been not that good. The best of the bunch is easily the Sesame Temomi Mazemen which is $19 with shiitake mushrooms, shishito, cucumbers, and shiso. There is a great nuttiness to the whole dish and the noodles had a good pleasant chew. It's a lot better than the other more famous ramen here and it's probably the only main I liked here along with the sando. Solid is the Wagyu Pastrami Sando for $23 with house pastrami, gulden's mustard, and dill pickle on on shokupan (i.e. Japanese milk bread.) This was a fun spin on the usual Jewish deli sandwich with the pastrami being pretty tender though not as salty as I would expect for pastrami. This was easily the other best main dish and I would recommend this. We also had a Tonkatsu which I don't see listed on the current menu so perhaps it was a special or it used to be on the menu. I think it was something around $35 or so and it was alright. The breading was a bit thick and the pork could have been more tender. The Lox Bowl at $27 sounds nice in concept with rice, ikura, Japanese pickles, avocado, fried capers, and chili mayo being almost a fun Jewish spin on a poke bowl but there is way too much rice and not enough of everything else. The flavors are fine with there perhaps being a bit too much saltiness but it just isn't that worth it. I've also solely had the Matzah Ball Ramen which for $19 comes with only chicken broth, scallion, mandels (i.e. the little bread pieces in there,) and nori. The soy marinated egg is an extra $3 and the foie gras dumpling is an extra $4 so they already overpriced ramen gets up to $26 including both of these or $29 if you want to add an extra matzah ball. This is absurd both for quality and for price. The chicken broth was way too light for it being a ramen reminding me more of a chicken/matzah ball noodle soup. The noodles were fine but not cooked as well as the mazemen. The matzah ball quality was good while the dumpling had a good fatty filling though it didn't exactly remind me of foie gras. The egg was perfectly fine but not worth $3 being worse than many ramen spots which charge less or similar. I wouldn't recommend it at all. The only dessert I've had here is the Japanese Sweet Potato Cheesecake for $12 with black sesame crust and creme fraiche. The black sesame and cheese flavor overpowers the lighter sweet potato and overall it just tastes like an okay cheesecake with an okay texture. A drink special which had either tequila and chocolate tasted so much of alcohol for someone else that they requested some extra chocolate or something to dilute it. I love the concept of this restaurant both as being Jewish and as someone who likes Japanese food a lot but the execution didn't pan out. Too many misses for the high prices. 2.4.
This spot has been on my list and I'm so glad I finally
This spot has been on my list and I'm so glad I finally made it out for brunch here! Firstly, the service is top notch and so so friendly. It's a small space but roomy enough that parties aren't on top of each other. My boyfriend got a sencha hot tea, and they do complimentary hot water refills, which is nice. Together we ordered: Egg sandwich (on challah roll) - challah was delish and with the cheese it was yummy! Definitely enjoyed as a sharing dish; I'd want to order two things with this brunch entree for palate cleansing. Okonomiyaki - 5/5!!! I highly recommend! Having authentic okonimyaki in Japan before, I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious Shalom Japan's version was. The sauerkraut wasn't too strong or sour that it affected the dish. The pancake had a crispy outside and a flavorful inside, and omg the wagyu pastrami was SUCH a delicious touch. Matzoh ball ramen - If you find that some Japanese ramens can be too "heavy tasting" or high on salt, this is a great refreshing chicken broth that feels very light but has a lot of ingredients of your typical ramen. Loved the touch of the mandel. Wish there were more carrots (we only got two small ones). Kudos to the chef because the ramen noodles were the most perfect texture!! As it was served al dente, once we took a slurp of the noodles after it sat in the hot broth it was perfect. Since my boyfriend and I shared all three dishes, I appreciated how we were served and enjoyed the first two before we were served the Ramen as the last dish. The timing worked out well, for the amount of room we had on our table but also to give our appetites a little break + focus on the ramen once we were served it. I definitely recommend this place particularly for brunch, since I know the prices are a bit higher for dinner time for some of the dishes (I wonder if the portions are bigger), but there are certain dishes only available at dinner and not on the brunch menu.
Been searching for matzo ball ramen since a beloved Boston
Been searching for matzo ball ramen since a beloved Boston restaurant took theirs off its menu. Loved the atmosphere and music inside. We ate at the bar as it's always very packed and booked up. Had: Matzo ball ramen with soy marinated egg (great and the egg is a mandatory add in my opinion. Noodles perfect, broth no high sodium like other ramen and very flavorful) Rustic fries (so good) house salad (good)

Absolutely out of this world! We had the pre-fix which had all the fixings, and great for groups! The pastrami sandwich and matzoh ball ramen were delectable. The ambiance is intimate yet inviting. My only regret is that I don't live closer!

This place exceeded my expectations in every way! The ambiance of the restaurant is warm, cozy, and inviting. It's a small space and feels intimate. The menu is unique and has dishes that feature a fusion of Japanese and Jewish cuisine. The drinks were great and they had a wide variety of wines and beers to choose from. Every single appetizer and entree looked amazing, and the waiter was kind enough to give us personal recommendations! The Mazeman I chose was flavorful and hearty, making it the perfect choice for a winter night. I really enjoyed my meal and would love to go back!
If you are looking for a unique place that does fusion
If you are looking for a unique place that does fusion right, this is it. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate and celebrates, Jewish and Japanese culture. I highly recommend the fried mushrooms which are called Lion's Mane. Sesame Mazemen is vegan delicious. Plates made to share. Service is above average. Highly recommended. Make a reservation.
super fun fusion concept, Japanese & Jewish.
It was a great place to try during Hanukkah, they had some decor up. Definitely not kosher style or anything, with scallops & pork on the menu. But some cool jewish influence on all the menu items. 3 of us split 3 apps & 3 entrees-- we were all perfectly content/full. For the starters we had the challah, the lions mane friend mushrooms, and the latke. You can skip the challah. the latke was AMAZING and i could have ate like 3. The mushrooms were delicious but i wish it came with some sort of dipping sauce. For entrees we had the matzo ball ramen, the sesame noodles, and the lox bowl. All 3 were soo good. The staff gave us a couple small bowls for both the noodles and the ramen so we were easily able to share. We got an extra matzo ball added, and an egg to the noodles. The ramen was the most underwhelming of the 3 entrees, but still tasty. We ended the night with a sufganiyot ice cream sandwich, which was sugar donut stuffed with yuzu flavored ice cream I believe, especially for Hanukkah. I would definitely go again!
Solid meal! The Matzoh Ball Ramen was great - the egg was
Solid meal! The Matzoh Ball Ramen was great - the egg was fantastic. I loved the combination of flavors. My friends both had the Jew Egg as their main entree and enjoyed it. We finished off with some desserts, which were great. Service was friendly. Be aware - the menu is fairly limited - if you're a picky eater, you're not going to be able to find anything.
Shalom Japan had been languishing in my bookmarks for ages,
Shalom Japan had been languishing in my bookmarks for ages, so I leapt at the chance to convince dinner companions to go when we found ourselves in the neighborhood. It was a last-minute decision and therefore, we showed up without reservations only to find a packed snug (but not too snug) dining room. Thankfully we didn't have to wait too long; make a reservation on Resy ahead of time if you can. We shared a few appetizers, ordered our own mains, and split some desserts. I selected the matzo ball ramen ($19) with a foie gras dumpling ($4) and was content. It was a chilly wet evening which was also prime ramen weather. Oh, and the restroom sports charming ramen wallpaper! We all approved of the sake kasu challah ($7), Jew egg ($17), and lion's mane karaage ($18). Note that it's Jew egg and not Jew eggs; there's just one falafel-esque egg but it's still yummy, being accompanied by hummus, Israeli salad, feta, olives, and mint. Our dessert choices were the matcha ice cream parfait ($13) and the Japanese sweet potato cheesecake ($12). I was expecting to prefer the cheesecake but I ended up adoring the matcha ice cream parfait. Can't beat that potent matcha flavor. We all agreed the prices were a hair high but were satisfied with the food and the unique culinary concept. And our server was a friendly and helpful guy. I like this blurb in the "About the Business" section on this page: Authentically inauthentic Jewish and Japanese food in South Williamsburg from chefs Aaron Israel and Sawako Okochi." Sums Shalom Japan up nicely!

Overall: 100% worth traveling from Times Square where my hotel was located for 20+ minutes via Uber each way to enjoy the delicious cocktails and food. Tastiness: The food was super creative and tasty. I would return to NY just to enjoy more dishes from this restaurant! The portions are generous and prepared with high quality ingredients. The Matzo Ball Soup is a generous serving that was impossible to finish after enjoying the okonomiyaki. Service: All staff was courteous and efficient, and we even got to see the owners who came out to meet one of the customers (as he was Japanese and Jewish ). Rarely does a restaurant impress with food, hospitality, heart, creativity, and cleanliness, but this place is a superlative of all these. Ambiance: Dimly lit restaurant, full of cool posters and art, on a quiet street in Brooklyn. Cleanliness: Super clean. Price: Well priced for the creativity, service, and quality of the ingredients.

Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
