Came here for the first time and liked all of the food! May say it’s a little pricier for what it is, but I did enjoy all of the dishes we got. We were sat at the bar and had pretty quick service.
Phenomenal! Had the Matzo Ball Ramen…what a delightful creation! Also had the Challah bread with Golden Raisin Butter…AMAZING!!! Capped off my meal with the Challah French Toast with vanilla ice cream…HEAVENLY! Next time I’m in Williamsburg, I’ll be back!
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.

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.
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 😅
Wanted to be obsessed with this place so so much. The service was really good and our server was absolutely lovely. We ordered the challah and the Jew egg to start. Highlight of the meal was the Jew egg hands down. For the mains we got the ramen with an extra matzoh ball and the hot pot with the truffle. The ramen was … eh. The matzoh ball addition was a cute thought but I wouldn’t get it again. The hot pot was delightful though, and the truffle was a nice touch. Ultimately it filled us up and we had a good time, but this might be a one and done for me.
The okonomiyaki was delicious and a great shareable starter. The pork tonkotsu was cooked perfect and had a great hint of that characterstic curry flavor
Overall the food had good flavor, but wasn’t worth going out of my way to eat here and jump my restaurant queue.
The dessert was the hero of the meal as the Ramen didn’t have the full bodied flavor I was expecting and was more like a light chicken soup. The hotpot was good but definitely missing something for the broth.
3.5/5 for the food but ambiance helped.
I havent tried ramen here. So it’s too early to write review. But so far, i liked taste of food.
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
Awesome fusion between Japanese and Jewish foods. The food was fantastic and would come back again.
A nice little restaurant. More Japanese than Jewish.
The food is interesting and tasty. Nice to order as family style and share portions
Has a few tasty vegan options as well. Overall a very interesting and tasty experience.
Such a unique cute restaurant! Brunch was amazing. Definitely recommend the lox bowl and matzoh ball ramen. Even the bloody mary was great. Will go back!
Jewish+Japanese food, absolutely amazing combo. The egg was close to perfection, the wagyu pastrami sandwich just as tasty as any other NY deli and the matzo ball ramen delicious. Desserts were great too. The restaurant is intimate, not too big, cozy, pretty and the service extremely nice. I totally recommend it and I am definitely going back soon to try the rest of their menu!
We had a group dinner there a few weeks ago and definitely enjoyed the food! The challah starter was good but I felt expensive for the size ($7 for a piece of bread). The dessert of banana pudding with challah was my highlight. I had the matzo ball ramen which was great while my friends enjoyed the other mains such as the Lox bowl (see pictures). I wish the restaurant had been playing music in the background I felt it could have heightened the experience. The only other reason I didn’t rate this a 5 was because they charge you for using your credit card. I really feel that the restaurant should sort this out and stop putting this charge on their customers. If this is suppose to be an established $$$ restaurant then don’t charge this, it’s ridiculous!
Shalom Japan has been on my bucket list for a while and we were interested in Japanese and Jewish fusion dishes.
There brunch and dinner menu are different which was a little disappointing for us. We got Jew Egg ($16), Okonomiyaki ($17), Wagyu Pastrami Sando ($21) and Sesame Temomi Mazemen ($18) to share with a group of four. The portion was okay but the price was kind of high.
The taste was overall okay and we love their mazemen so much which the sauce was creamy with chewy noodles.
