CONOHEN

was so excited to find this little hole in the wall till i found a long strand of hair embedded in my shrimp tempura onigiri special. there’s no number offered to call and correct is why i have less than five stars on service as im sure if i could call, they would have been nice enough to send a new one. staff was friendly

I wish I discovered this place sooner. Cute neighborhood joint with reasonable prices and daily selections. I liked my sando and beef yakisoba (gobbled it too fast to take pics lol) everything seemed fresh. It is a very small place so do not expect super fast service but I’m ok with it. Just browse the nice bookstore outside next door while they give you a timer to wait.

There’s something very comforting about this place, just a solid friendly place with really yummy food. I’ve been getting the cold noodles lately which is something I always thought would not be for me - and to my surprise it is EXTREMELY for me (honestly they are so good do yourself a favor and try them) - I’ve tried most of the onigiris too which are also 🔥

I appreciate the traditional approach this place is trying to make. Onigiri has been a favorite of mine for more than 2 decades. However the service when coming here is always subpar. I’ve come months apart at time and new staff flow in and out. They always seem a bit overwhelmed. If you ask to customize something they typically aren’t flexible, but a lot of traditional places aren’t because there is just enough of everything ordered for what is on the menu. However my bandwidth today is just short and I have to say something. They had a specialty onigiri that was vegetarian. We also requested a list of only vegetarian onigiri’s prior to our selection as well to see if we were missing anything. At this point we ordered 1 Seaweed and the specialty vegetarian. (Because we are vegetarians) We were second in line and 2 more patrons came. Then as time passed and All orders were served and yet we were still waiting. The attendant came out and asked us what we ordered and we notified her. She said she couldn’t find it and that sometimes orders didn’t print when people paid cash (so I thought ok that’s fine, stuff happens). We reordered the same onigiri & what came out was one fish and one seaweed So after walking home, looking forward to our snack, we opened our bag and then we were extremely disappointed. It’s just disrespectful at this point because they weren’t wrapped, so there obviously wasn’t a mistake in understanding that our order was in correct. Instead of saying we ran out of the specialty would you like another…. the same attendant handed us the order, said thank you and we went about our way. I hesitated to leave a poor rating, but there’s no phone number , email or social media to complain to get my money back or order rectified. So I have no choice, but to warn others. To save their money if they are wanting a quality Japanese snack. So disappointing that yet another local Brooklyn spot with traditional food has bad service and no follow through on ensuring a all around good customer experience.

Amazing Japanese cafe! Strawberry/cream sandwich and salmon onigiri was great, and the hanbagu is incredible! Looking forward to checking out more of their menu! Iced mugicha is rare for NYC and super nice as well!!

This is my fave food spot in the neighborhood! The onigiri is well made and perfectly savory, the employees are so sweet too. The perfect pick me up after the work day

After travelling Japan last year, I've been craving a good thick onigiri, and this has been by FAR the best I've tried since then, if I lived in New York I this would be my favourite spot. I also HIGHLY recommend the Japanese fruit sandwich, nothing as refreshing and tasty on a summer day. It's simple yet high quality ingredient are what makes the menu so good.

Tried the chefs special beef yakisoba, they were accommodating of my egg allergy and omitted the mayonnaise. Delicious, great cozy interior and nice backyard.

In one of the summer streets, I had walked past a shop selling onigiri. I was looking for a quick bite so I took one. I really liked it and the chef was talking about how they will build out the store in the future. Fast forward to a very cold day, I was looking for something to eat at 11:00 am. The store was open and it had indoor seating. From the outside you can see their many offerings including onigiri, sashimi, Kara age and more. They also had many specials. I picked two items to eat: IKURA Spoon Sake Onigiri (one of the daily specials) and a Japanese egg sandwich. The onigiri was stuffed with rice and salmon with a decent amount of ikura. The salmon was not dry. The sandwich was filling, fluffy, had the right amount of tang and was not too dense on the stomach. When I received my tray, I thought they had given me fries on the side. In actuality, they took the crusts off the sandwich bread, fried them and covered them in cinnamon sugar. I thought it was really cute and economical. It was too sweet for me that early in the morning but i think it has a great appeal and it had a nice crisp. The area I sat was like a bar and I can see them having a cute space in the near future. The staff there were extremely sweet and checked in on me. They open at ten am on the days they are open (not Tuesdays and Wednesdays), so you can have an alternative breakfasts. This is a place I can put into my rotation if I am in the area.

Lovely people, great service, delicious food. Japanese sandwiches and onigiri are specialities and the kara age (fried chicken) is excellent.
