Williamsburg newcomer just launched a ramen menu. Featuring a short rib ramen with veal broth & mashed potatoes, and a vegetable mazemad with kabocha puree, five spice, ricotta and rosemary. Read more

Cherry Izakaya strikes the right balance with whimsical décor and exquisitely prepared small plates. They offer plenty to quench a thirst from frozen beer & wide selection of cocktails ($10 to $13). Read more

Chef John Keller’s Williamsburger is a house blend of dry aged and grass-fed beef from the Catskills, topped with caramelized onions, demi-glace, and Fontina cheese on a brioche bun. Read more

So dangerous to live so close bcs I may just be addicted to the spicy tuna crispy rice. Other standouts were the foi gras gyoza and the pork belly skewers. Great bar upfront too.

Had tuna tart, crispy rice, meat&potatos, siz steak, yellowtail jal, & fishsticks. Food came out as it was ready & each dish was more delish than the last. Probably one of my favorite places in wburg

The escargot donburi is probably one of the most unexpected French-Japanese fusion dish, it's awesome but beware the portion is definitely toward the heavy side, not your typical appetizer portion!

Kitchen is still figuring some things out and the timing isn't quite on point yet, but food is great. Eggplant skewers and ramen salad were both rad. Also get a Zelda with shochu.

So good, I went back the next morning for brunch. Spicy tuna Benedict on crispy rice = $$$. Lovely interior. Good date. Fair price. Skip the coffee.

Celery honeydew soda with shochu 👌 very light and refreshing, not too bubbly (I'm not a soda person). def recommend this if you're looking for something new to drink!

Bar tenders are great and super attentive. Highly recommend the Kaori of you're new to Sake and pair it with the Ramen salad as a first dish.

Spicy tuna crispy rice, scallop roll, tender chicken & scallion skewer, shrimp gyoza. Enjoyed all except homemade mochi - skip dessert

Great Izakaya food as well as sushi, small plates and entrees. Start the with Ramen Noodle Salad ($8).

So incredibly delicious! Seabass skewer and yellowtail roll were to die for! They're definitely a little slow but worth the wait!
Sabrina MajeedNovember 27, 2014
Get the fois gras short rib gyoza. Sounds like a mouthful because it is. A delicious one. Also tuna tarts.

The sizzling steak was my favorite out of everything we tried. When you're done, keep the sauce and dip all the other dishes in it.

Food was good, service was spotty. Truffle tart had no truffle (Bond Is the move), cocktails were tasty but slow, ramen salad was good, get tuna crispy rice

Looks like kielbasa but it's eggplant. Flavors are wonderful and the sushi is fresh.
Dacquiri SmittickJuly 29, 2015
Spicy crispy tuna rice, sea bass skewers and chili pork gyoza are a must!!

Paint brush for sushi and hand painted wall paper are both pluses. Eggplant skewers are great to start with

Get the wings and meatballs. Get happy hour specials, otherwise, too pricey.
Joseph LSeptember 26, 2015
The izakaya fare is really great. Tuna tarts, Kara-age and cauliflower.
Ingrid KenyonSeptember 6, 2014
Don't listen to that 7.8 rating! Love this place. The spicy tuna on crunchy rice is awesome - rivals Nobu.
Ashley RudolphFebruary 7, 2015
Try the Yellowtail roll, foie gras dumplings, and the tuna tart. You have to!

Tuna Crispy Rice. Been here 3 times and it's always one of my favorites.

#notetoself: try foie gras short rib dumplings & bacon caesar sushi

Try some weird drinks. They have sesame-infused whiskey and shitake-inflused cognac.

Always delicious, love the shrimp tacos and ramen.
Julius TarngNovember 27, 2014
Small dishes. Dat tuna tart, yellowtail, eggplant skewer, short rib gyoza. Pass the ramen - bland (good egg but cold)

You should try Billy's Roll. This is my favorite!
Peter WuJanuary 4, 2015

Wow, all I can say is wow! The food was mediocre at best. we waited over 45 minutes for our food to find the bartender forgot to put in our food order all together. The reviews are true avoid!!!!!!!!!

Burger and sushi rolls

Made a reservation & was forced to wait 45 min w/o explanation or compensation. Hostess was clueless & unhelpful so we ended up leaving because the mgr didn't care. Avoid if time is precious to you!
