Shalom Japan

Amazing food, great ambiance, and cozy setting. The food is not only a unique and inspired fusion of Jewish and Japanese delights, it's simply delicious on its own. The ingredients and service are first class and the combo of tastes leave you simulteanously satisfied and wanting more. The presentation is also great and I wish I took pics of the food but I'm not really one of those guys (not that there's anything wrong with people who do take slick pics :) Highly recommend

The service was excellent and the food was good, but I didn’t feel it was anything special. We ate family style and had around 7-8 dishes and they were good, just not all that memorable. The Lion's Mane Karaage was very good! Matzoh Ball Ramen sounds fun, but I felt like I’d had better ramen and matzoh ball soup elsewhere 😅

So I’d been stalking their Instagram for ages. Finally had a reason to come to NY from West coast & immediately made a reservation here. Honestly had like an idyllic dinner- small cozy restaurant, we chose outdoor seating where people ( and doggo) watching was good. Our server was friendly, enthused, hella patient. Made good recommendations, told us about off menu options. A bonus surprise: the cocktails were excellent! We each had two, I tasted all four and holy cow it’s been way too long since I had a cocktail which truly deserved it’s price tag like so. Jacob’s Milk, Fauci Ouchie, Velvet Evening, Lychee Saketini. Also loved the food. Okanamiyaki was amazing as were the lions mane mushrooms, beef tartar top notch absolutely lick your bowl yum. We enjoyed our two noodle dishes as well- not quite as impressive as the appetizers but also who knows if that’s partially coz we were getting full already. It does seem more Japanese than Jewish- all delicious. No tummy space for dessert but they looked fab. Tidy restroom w ramen wallpaper. They were good to let us linger over our drinks long after we finished dining which I appreciate. We both loved it. Would definitely return. We even had a little bit of take home leftovers.
