Boru Boru

A really cool spot with a refreshingly New concept - authentic fast Japanese food. The food was really wholesome and good and the atmosphere is causal and fun. Love the kabuki mural and floating oragami. Hot picks the Bao Buns and yuzu lemon bars - they are a must and should accompany any other pick on the menu should you choose. Bonus the drinks are good too.

Really nice restaurant. Great concept, authentic tasty food. There are some complaints here about the service but we found it to be impeccable. Just - the AC doesn’t seem to be working much now that summer has come, and it was really hot.

Very unique. We loved some of it, and other dishes were not quite our taste. The fries were great however should have tried the buns. The beef dumplings were unique although the portion was small (4) for the price (12) . The Tokyo ramen was amazing. Every part off it was complex with flavor and delicious. The recommended could squash Raman was ok but but as good as the Tokyo. The service was outstanding. This is a once if a kind kosher establishment.

Been here a few times and am always blown away by their food. Menu is always changing and always for the better. Prices are worth it. Their cocktails are delicious and creative, a welcome surprise from a kosher place. The food is also delicious and you will leave feeling full and happy.

Very unique place. The ambiance is calm and serene. The place is dimly lit with a darkish color. The food has very distinguished taste. I really recommend the oxtail Bao Buns they are flavorful and one of a kind. Their menu is limited, but that is nice so you don't have to choose the food from a book. The staff are friendly and courteous. Overall this is a great place to go but a) it's a bit expensive b) it's not a food that you can eat more than a couple of times. Definitely worth it to go there and try the food once.

I live 3 blocks away and love their food to the point that it's my guilty pleasure. However, I'm not at all surprised they're closing, and a brief analysis could help the owner be more successful in the future. Boru Boru was unnecessarily difficult with customers in a lot of ways that hurt their volume, which any business needs. Here are a few: 1. Delivery usually unavailable. In Manhattan, that's suicide for a restaurant. 2. When delivery is available, it costs $5 plus tip. That's about $8, not worth it for customers like myself who live a few blocks away but are too tired to personally go to the restaurant. Apparently, we just ordered from someplace else. 3. Phone orders never accepted. I never before heard of such a thing, and if online ordering was down, as it often was, you had to personally go to the restaurant and wait while food was prepared. Are you kidding? 4. Literally half the menu wasn't available for takeout. A successful business tries to make purchasing easy and accessible in as many ways as possible. Boru Boru did the opposite.

Best meal I've ever eaten!!! Full of flavour and every dish was perfected. Cocktails were an experience and absolute highlight. Service was amazing and beautiful decor. Could not more highly recommend!

I just got finished eating an incredible meal here. Cam for a late lunch, got the brisket Ramen, Korean wings and a bunch of other super tasty stuff. Super cool vibe, great music and bar. Very chill. Service is superb, food is fresh and fast. Can’t praise this place enough. It’s a destination spot for anyone kosher and even great for people that aren’t. I hope they franchise this restaurant!
