A-un Brooklyn

I honestly hate to leave a low review like this for a place with such amazing food, but sometimes 1 inconsiderate action and bad service can ruin the entire experience. I sent my partner here to have a solo dinner because they had a bad day. She arrived and ordered her food, the place was empty but filled up shortly after she arrived, still no issues, delicious food. However right after she paid and TIPPED her server was rushing her to leave, this was very rude to do because she was just waiting for her cab. It’s very cold outside and we just didn’t appreciate that. I understand restaurants get busy and this is kind of a small space it’s just not the right way to go about it. The way she was treated as a solo diner ordering multiple items was just very rude. She wasn’t even there for more than an hour. If they would’ve just sat her at the bar or at a smaller table there would have been no need to rush, but because they couldn’t anticipate it getting crowded she got rushed out. So just keep that in mind if you decide to have a nice dinner to cheer yourself up you might get rushed out to seat a larger group. If she wasn’t alone they wouldn’t have done that. It’s was weird and rude once again.

Visiting our daughter and son‑in‑law in Williamsburg, we decided to order takeout from a place they had enjoyed before. We chose a variety of dishes—rolls, chirashi, and an outstanding eggplant with garlic sauce. I never imagined eggplant could be prepared so deliciously. Everything was packed thoughtfully, with hot and cold items separated, and the rice bedding for the chirashi packed on its own. The sashimi and sushi were fresh and expertly prepared. Since the foundation of good sushi is the rice, A‑un absolutely nails it. Prices range from moderate to high, but the quality makes it feel like a worthwhile luxury—something we’re happy to indulge in on special occasions.

Their wagyu udon was so good, and a reasonable price for brunch. Loved the sweet broth that they used. Pork cutlet curry was also so cleanly cooked 👌 Would definitely come back here again to try more items!

This place is absolutely amazing. Every dish is so authentic and the fish is so fresh, I could not recommend it more!

Had the best garlic eggplant ever! You HAVE to try! 😇 Excellent ramen as well

Enjoyed every dish here. The pork buns were very memorable I like that it doesn't rely too much on sauce. Shishito peppers were exceptional. Enjoyed our rolls and junmai! Service takes a hot minute though, but an otherwise great experience. Will be back.

The food here is incredible - some of the best Japanese food in Brooklyn. However, the service can be quite slow depending on the night and the menus are a bit complicated to understand at first. There is a lot going on in the menu and the formatting is not consistent which leads to a lot of back & forth when navigating the menu. The first time I visited last year there were absolutely no issues and I had a fantastic experience. However when I visited again a few weeks ago, I had to wait over 20-30 minutes just to place my food order and another 15-20 minutes for the food to arrive (but this is understandable given it is a small kitchen dealing with many orders). The restaurant was busy but there were still several empty tables, but there was only 1 server. The server helped me to my seat quickly, but then started cleaning and doing other random tasks and chatting with others for a long time before even coming to me to ask me what I would like to order. Maybe it was just busier night than usual or this server was a new hire, but it was quite frustrating having to sit and wait for so long before even getting to place my order. The server seemed to be more concerned with cleaning tables for potential customers (who did not even show up) instead of the paying customer waiting right in front of him for so long. I even saw another customer literally have to get up from her table and walk up to the server to ask him to come to their table and place their order. Anyways, the food was still really incredible and I had no issues once it came out, but the server seems to have completely different priorities instead of the paying customers who are actually at the restaurant. Maybe if he had some more assistance or if I came on another slow night he would not be so unfocused. But to his credit, he was apologetic about the wait at the end once I paid my bill. I would definitely recommend the food here (the Veg Croquette Curry, Fried Garlic Chicken, and Chilled Ramen were fantastic), but this is not a place for a casual dinner as you will likely spend over an hour here.

Service was great, food was delicious, great options. I got the chashu udon and it was excellent. The broth was a little too sweet for my liking, but the pork was tender and the noodles texture was good. I enjoyed it despite not loving the broth. The miso soup was also pretty dang good. My friend got the wagyu curry and she enjoyed it. Afterwards we got a desert… tea jelly…? Anyway, it was tasty <3

Wow, love this place. Sushi was great. Got the yellowtail+scallion , crispy spicy tuna, and salmon+avocado. I think my favorite was definitely the yellowtail. God tier Bao. We got the pork and the wagyu. The marinade for the pork was delicious. And they cooked the pork so perfectly. I also recommend the wagyu. Warm sake was great. It's heated in front of you by candle. Honestly kind of cute and romantic. The location is intimate. We had no wait time. If they lowered the lighting, I wouldn't be mad at it. I think the place could use some ambiance. But overall a great spot. Will def come back for that pork bao.

I had a long day in Brooklyn, I was hungry and tired. I was looking for something good to eat and for me to relax. I love Asian food. I particular love Japanese. I wanted and needed a lunch special. I was not disappointed at A-Un. Nice and quiet space. It was my first time. Staff were friendly and attentive . The food was awesome and the drinks good too. The Takoyaki was fresh and hot. I can't remember the main dish, noodle or rice bowl? I can't remember but if you look at the photo you can tell it looks good. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and definitely will return.

A-Un Brooklyn is one of few Japanese restaurants in the outer boroughs of New York City run by Japanese people, so the food is somewhat distinctive compared to the many Japanese restaurants run by non-Japanese. We visited a few times earlier in the year and ordered: - Nabeyaki Udon: $23 ($25.04) with tax. One of the better versions that we've had. - Grilled Salmon Saikyo Bento Box: A-Un's bento box sets are distinctive. The miso salmon, a nice change of pace to the salmon teriyaki common to nearly every other Japanese restaurant, was delicious. The grilled vegetables were also delicious, compared with the pitiful salads in most other bento boxes. - Wagyu Beef Bun $9 ($9.80 with tax): not worth it, chewier than expected. - Matcha Pudding: $8 ($8.71 with tax). Good, though not worth the price. There's somewhat of a shift in floor grade in the well-maintained bathroom. Suggested tips are based on pre-tax subtotals, and start at 15%.

Food and service was great! We came in around 5 and it wasn't busy. The vibe was nice and the decorations were very homey. We ordered a seaweed udon, 2 salmon rolls and one crunchy spicy roll. They were delicious and very fresh. Will definitely recommend and would come back again!

The chirashi was ok. The ginger was too sour. It's the first time I disliked the ginger. I enjoyed the hojicha and the matcha pudding. My wife got the tonkotsu ramen. She said it's not worth the $100. I agree it's overpriced.

Japanese food. Too often when people hear Japanese, they think only sushi. A-un definitely is more than just sushi. Don't get me wrong, the sushi was great, but the rest was even better! We started with edamame, steaming hot and lightly salted. Nothing less than perfect to start the meal. I had corn agedashi, a unique lightly fried ball of corn mash with shrimp embedded within, served with two side balls of corn and (maybe jalapeño) but, well, don't miss it if you like corn. My daughter ordered a garlic chicken bowl, again with fried nuggets of chicken in a light sauce on a large bed of steamed rice. It was too much to finish, so half went home with her. My partner had the waygu beef bowl and, while planning to eat half, left none. I guess that means it was amazing! I had the curry ramen with pork. The depth of flavor in the soup, thick and sumptuous, punctuated by the pork slices and perfectly cooked noodles, made this a dish I, like my partner, couldn't leave behind. Intimate, lacking true ambiance, unassuming, too cold in the wrong seat (but they adjusted the air flow without being asked), a literal diamond in the rough. If you want the best for less, find your way here.

Food: 5 Ambiance: 5 Service: 5 good place for curry and fried rice best so far for my NYC trip

Great little Japanese food joint in Bushwick, with an extensive sake menu. Their sushi sets are pretty good value for money. The garlic edamame appetizer is delicious but be warned the garlic taste is very strong! If you're keen on trying different types of sake, the 3 glass tasting flight for $17 is excellent. Service is quick and the staff are very proactive in filling up water glasses.

Just starting to explore this area more comprehensively and this spot came up as one of the top sushi options. Popped in on a weeknight with one other and split a handful of rolls. Service was great and the atmosphere is cute and casual. I wasn't particularly blown away by the rolls but they were decent. If you're in a pinch to satisfy your sushi craving then it's a goos option!

Absolutely love this spot! Came here twice, both times on Sunday afternoons. The restaurant is very cute, clean, with intimate but spacious seating. The staff is very welcoming and provide a peaceful atmosphere. The first time I came here I have the spicy avocado roll and mushroom tempura roll. Omg both so delicious! The second visit I had the spicy vegetable ramen. Very flavorful and filling. Definitely will be back again!

I recently visited A-un with my husband for dinner before a show and had intended to order sushi, but we reconsidered once we entered the place and found that there was no visible sushi bar or sushi chef in sight. So although they do serve sushi, they prepare it in the back kitchen out of sight. I don't think I've ever witnessed that before at a sushi restaurant, and it made me a bit uneasy. We opted to just snack on an order of garlic karaage and pan-fried gyoza. The karaage was well executed and tasty. It was perfectly crispy and juicy and the garlic glaze was not overly sweet or overpowering, which I appreciated. The gyoza seemed like your standard packaged gyoza that you can find at any market, despite the claim that it's homemade. It was somewhat limp and sad and could've been seared more, but it wasn't too bad. The sake was overpriced and not worth it (more than $20 for a small 8 oz carafe). The staff members were friendly, but after our food came out, they seemed preoccupied with a bunch of folders. We had to request the check three times before it was delivered. Ultimately, it wasn't a horrible experience, but it was odd and not one that we would necessarily want to revisit.

I will definitely be coming back to try true rest of the menu! I had the chashu udon which was great with the colder weather. The noodles were soft, broth was great, and I was surprised by how much pork they gave in the bowl. My boyfriend got the tuna rice bowl which he said he liked! The prices are fair and the vibes here are super chill. I was there around 7pm on a Saturday and almost every table was full but it wasn't crazy loud which was nice.

Been to the old spot that was here before only once, and I've always wanted to return. Saw online that it closed down and A-un opened. So my family and I had to check it out! The server (bartender? manager?) was very accommodating. He made sure I had a table while I was waiting for the rest of my party. We ordered a bunch of things off the menu. We tried some of the specials: the sashimi box, an eggplant dish, and the garlic chicken. We also had a large tonkotsu ramen, some takoyaki, and the salmon ikura bowl. It was everything we expected and more. Such comforting dishes and full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the ramen and the japanese fried chicken. My dad, who's probably ordered sashimi from all the places in the neighborhood, said that A-un's was the freshest he's had. Also! They have a really good sake selection. Fairly priced at around $16-$18 a carafe. Will definitely go back! It may be our new go-to Japanese in the area.

This place rules. The brunch bento box is a lot of food and very affordable. I like the salmon. The udon is light and clean and yummy. Perfect noodle consistency. The person who runs it is also so kind.

Very nice staff and good service. Decent fresh sushi for a local spot, especially on Knickerbocker. Interior was lackluster, it's chilly out and there are heating lamps inside. That said I would order delivery from here next time.

Great find. Boyfriend and I went to look for juice but stumbled upon the spot on Google. We got there right at 5pm, it was a bit quiet, and we ordered the miso soup, corn agedashi (spectacular by the way) and the Japanese fried chicken with garlic, as well as the A-un sushi dinner. The fried chicken was great tasting because the sauce was not overpowering. The sushi was also very fresh, came with fresh wasabi. And finally, good selection of sake.

I'm in shock, this place is AMAZING. Such a hidden gem. Ordered 2 chirashi bowls for dinner for my boyfriend and I. Wasabi is freshly made and the chirashi bowl was lovely. I loved everything, even the scallops, which I feel usually tastes the least fresh from a lot of similarly priced sushi joints. The seaweed, the roe, everything about this bowl made it just that much better. Honestly for the price point, i'd say i have NOT had better sashimi. I will 100% return to try EVERYTHING. I'm so excited and feel blessed that this place is close by!!!! Definitely check this place out because the food was such a pleasant surprise! Highly recommend. Best sushi not only in the bushwick area but most of nyc in my opinion!!!

I came here with a friend and we split 3 appetizers and a udon. Portion size they were small to medium size so depending on how hungry you are you might need more. This place was super fair in pricing--$65 total for two people! The udon here is so good! The broth was flavorful and the udon had that perfect bite factor. It was plump and firm and not overly soft. The edamame were fine but their dumplings were so good!! I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu!

Friendly staff, awesome eats and a great price. The corn agedashi was top! Great deal on the sushi dish too. I tried my partners udon and it rocked. Another favorite to add to my map!

Stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try . It was very empty when we came but somehow our food and the part to being served took a very long time. Anyways, the sushi here was very forgettable. We both agreed that it didn't taste fresh and nothing special. I'll stick to my usual spot from now on when in the area.

Food was amazing! Quiet ambience. I went for an early dinner. Food came out quickly and the waiter was very attentive. Definitely recommend

This is an extremely cozy sushi spot in Bushwick. With beautiful woodworking in the interior, excellent management, a fantastic sake, selection, excellent food with excellent prices... And the best service you can possibly get. Maria was our server on a Sunday evening, last table before last call, and she was an absolute delight. The entire ambience, which Maria was in full control of, was simply stellar. They use very high quality sushi rice, not the usual pellets. The quality of all of the fish was outstanding and the tofu was dream-like. $4 Sapporos ALL DAY EVERY DAY BTW!!! Best sushi in Bushwick!!!!!! We will be going back!!!!

A delightful experience through and through, both dine in and takeout. When I dined in, the service was good and attentive. Ordered a salmon bowl and their seasonal eggplant appetizer. The egg land app was absolutely delicious, to this day I can still feel the perfect blend of umami and spice and sweetness dancing on my palette. The takeout experience was smooth, too. They keep the food warm for you. I picked up their fried chicken 5 min last my pick up time. And by the time I got home, their fried chicken was still crispy and piping hot! 10/10 would go back.

Walked by this place a ton but never stopped in, and it didn't disappoint. The indoor vibes were a bit bland but the food was great. The fish was very fresh and the presentation was thoughtful. The server was very sweet and attentive!

Super delicious!! The croquette bun is delicious. I will definitely return. Great prices and pleasant wait staff

Food was so good and selection was great. Indoor seating was zen and outdoor space was solid for a larger group. Staff was welcoming and warm.

I visited A-un with 3 of my friends on a Friday evening. We order multiple appetizers to split and they all tasted great. We then placed orders for sushi rolls and this is when it went downhill. It took around 45 minutes for our sushi to come out to the table. The sushi was not bad but also not great. I am unsure if we visited on an off night or what! I will probably go back to give it a second chance.

I grew up in Japan, so I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to my Japanese food.... but A-un Brooklyn did not disappoint! If you come here, I highly recommend getting the tonkatsu ramen (about $17); it was one of the best I've had outside of Japan. I also recommend grabbing a beer to go with your ramen, and for $4 a can I cannot complain. The ambiance was very peaceful and relaxed. The decor was sophisticated. There was one guy working the front, but he was handling it well. I also enjoyed the Japanese music playing in the background, lol.

We've been so excited to stop in, and we're so glad we did! We had a few apps: shishito peppers and the eggplant (to die for, GORGEOUS). Then we had some sushi rolls and the yellowtail donburi. All the fish was excellent, so fresh, and the rice was perfect. They put so much care into the food. Vibe is cute and cozy, and the staff is so sweet. Very helpful with the sake choices, which was also delicious

It's a wonderful placeI strongly recommend that you have this experience. Try Non requiter IPA

message me privately if you find a better tonkotsu ramen. truly head and shoulders above any ramen i've ever had.

Fantastic udon and ramen spot! The rolls are also fresh and great quality. Super chill inside and great service. Definitely a new go-to in the neighborhood.

I never have written a Yelp review before and might never again, but I have to for this place; their food is just that good. The sushi is not just good for the area, but just really excellent over-all. Everything else on the menu is also top-notch. My vegan partner is a huge fan of the sweet potato buns in particular. It's a bit of a crime that this restaurant hasn't gotten more recognition here or anywhere else.

I ordered delivery from here and the food was amazing! The vegetable tempura was so well done - it had the traditional light and crispy coating that legit Japanese places have (and not the heavy over-fried coating that some other places have). The wasabi that came with the sushi roll seemed like real wasabi, instead of the artificial paste that's typical of sushi spots. I also came here on a separate occasion to try the sake, and the selection was wide and the sake was so smooth. Love this place, happy they're in the neighborhood!

so good :) i can't believe i just discovered this place and will 100% come back. food and service was great
