Shalom Japan

I came here because Barbara Corcoran mentioned she loved it on Shark Tank and damn Barbara...I can see why! Living in NYC, it's genuinely hard to be surprised by restaurants anymore. The bar is just so high across the board that you start to feel like you've seen it all. But Shalom Japan is truly something else!!! The Jewish-Japanese fusion concept sounds like it could easily go sideways, but it actually somehow makes a lot of sense. Innovation without feeling overworked and tortured. The Jew Egg was incredible (yes it's actually called that), with such a unique and memorable flavor profile. I don't really like scotch eggs but I looooved this. And the Okonomiyaki with wagyu pastrami was TO DIE. I have never had better pastrami in my life. The other dishes were excellent as well, but tho

Finally got a chance to go to Shalom Japan a few days ago with my wife and nieces who live in Bklyn. Saw their bit on Shark Tank and it was a pleasant surprise! A small place but they have outdoor tables (for warmer weather - it was a brutality cold day when we went). Parking was a pain because the streets were still snowed in. Typical bklyn street parking. Brunch menu was very good. Had the challah and the karaage (Japanese chicken) for the table for apps. The star of the show, however, was the matzoh ball ramen! This is their signature dish and why we went there! Did not dissapoint! I made mine spicy and loved it! Paired it with the pear saki (pun intended) and had a very good lunch! We want to go back and try some of the other menu items. Service was excellent! Not your typical Japanes

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a long time! I’m so happy I did. Everything we tried was delicious and flavorful. The drinks were great as well!

When I first came across Shalom Japan on IG, I thought the concept was very intriguing. Therefore, I had to pay them a visit the next time I was visiting NYC. I got a reservation on Resy and I'm so happy we made the trek out to Brooklyn. Everything was fantastic, I loved the combination of both Jewish and Japanese cuisine. Poor waiter/Bartender was the only one working the floor, I could tell he was getting quite anxious as the night progressed. I would definitely return the next time I'm in town.

A couple of unique tastes overshadowed by poor service and steep prices. We visited Shalom Japan in May 2025, meeting up with my cousin from Seattle, who picked the spot based on YouTube algorithm and the intriguing cuisine fusion concept. The restaurant left mixed impressions though. We tried five appetizers (out of seven available) and two entrees (out of five). From appetizers only the Jew Egg stood out with its unique taste and texture combination. The rest were passable: Sake Kasu Challah was just a fresh bun with butter - something most restaurants offer complimentary before appetizers. The Duck Prosciutto Salad was a plate of arugula with four dried mushrooms and a few water-thin slices of duck prosciutto, so tiny we could hardly taste them. Sawa's Mama''s Karaage (fried chicken)
