It's a good place for a date (not a first date). Try the Anago and Cream Cheese Tempura. It's legit.
Trace CohenJuly 22, 2010
The sake here is amazing, make sure to ask the waitress to describe them all to you. Also the atmosphere makes you feel like you are in Japan, when you're really in Brooklyn. There are also buttons

Great date night spot. It looks romantic & has an intimate setting.
JM ParveauxAugust 22, 2015
One of the best meal I have ever had..! The black cod was simply out of this world!

Try - Saikyo Miso Cod - is so deliciously fatty its layers slide off each other at the slightest poke of a chopstick; the sweetness permeates the supple, oily flesh. Read more

Lovely decor & service. Suggested: tako wasabi (x1937), sake tasting, lamb chops, kakuni. Skip: the omakase tasting, rice ball.

Went here for a Christmas present and it was so fun. Thanks booths are romantic!

Excellent Japanese service. Private dining, lamb lollies, duck salad, tuna sashimi was favourites.

You’ll recognize the entrance to Zenkichi because of its discreet door (in a wood-paneled wall) with the number ‘77’ above it.

TRUST me. Order the Omakase, sit back, and relax. If you have a choice for dessert, try the Mineoka Tofu. It will melt in your mouth...:)
Maria LambertAugust 17, 2014
Tiny tables! Do the omakase and chocolate walnut dessert.
Justin OrgelFebruary 18, 2012
Duck salad. Mochi potato balls. Lamb chop. Spicy udon. Try not to get a long table to avoid overhearing yuppie conversations. - @foodpusher

Nice place, good service, great food. Must try Shrimp&Nasu tempura and Nagoya teba wings.

Sushi is phenomenal and the private booths have you feeling like your dining in Tokyo

Delicious small plates and sake in a very romantic and intimate setting.
Dana OMalleyJune 29, 2010
Miso cod and frozen black sesame mousse are unreal. Highly recommend the tasting menu... a little bit of everything at a reasonable price. Sake selection is great!
Connie ChiuSeptember 11, 2014
Sashimi! Tsukune chicken! Spicy roe rice ball! Milk tofu dessert!
Joe KileyJanuary 9, 2019
Sticky ok. Omakase menu while unique was a little too expensive for what it was. The setting was pretty cool though. Cool spot for a late in the game date.

Expensive but a very unique omakase experience that felt very authentic.
LucienNovember 18, 2012
The Saikyo Miso Cod is so good you'll slap yo momma! Just don't actually slap your momma...you might get grounded... :)
Leigh QuindaraJune 15, 2012
A splurge, but a must do. Romantic/private atmosphere and a tasting menu to die for!
Robert BrisitaMay 30, 2015
Order the omakase with basic and premium sake flights to share between both of you.
Jacquie SandbergNovember 17, 2014
Perfect for a romantic date. Private snug booths and candlelight.
Arnoud AalbersbergOctober 6, 2016

Ok so technically I shouldn't have this on my Downtown Japanese list, but it's that good. Sexy setup, inventive food. Pork belly kikuchi.

Omakase is SO worth it, but if going a la carte, the cod and teba wings are a must.
Andrew GeorgeOctober 16, 2015
The lamb chops were among the best I ever had.
Hugo CechettoJuly 1, 2017

Great date spot. Try the Omakase.
Lauren DocktorApril 22, 2012
if you don't order omakase like me because of allergies, the hot udon is an absolute must!
Joe BrownSeptember 24, 2012
Private booths! Great place to go if you're one of those gross couples who makes out at dinner.
Jason DrakefordMarch 27, 2010
Simply the most delicious Japanese restaurant in Brooklyn hands down, and the romantic cozy private booths are great for your date :)

Standouts: Blue Shrimp Sashimi w/ Tonburi, Tiger Shrimp & Shiitake Mushroom Tempura, Saikyo Miso Cod, Premium Nigiri Sushi, Frozen Black Sesame Mousse. Sake tasting FTW.

Omakase for the win!

Love the private booths and buzzers. If you ask, they offer a totally Vegetarian Omakase menu!
Scott AskinaziJuly 28, 2012
Look for the hostess holding the red rope outside. A great romantic Japaneses restaurant.
