   2nd visit. Went for brunch. What a warm welcome we got! The Jacob's Milk cocktail was outstanding. Goes down easy with lovely, light flavors. It was lunchtime, or I would have had two. Food-wise, the Matzo Ramen and Pastrami Sando were as excellent as I remembered. The Challah and Rustic Fries were both very tasty and small enough to savor but leave you wanting more. For dessert, the Panna Cotta, Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding, and Cheesecake ended the meal. All delicious! I love this place. Will be back.

   Very excited to come back after quite some time, but I was extremely disappointed this time. Service was below every expectation. Waiters did not communicate and showed off an unbothered attitude. One server was even wearing sweatpants, which is really unprofessional. We were not asked if everything was okay, the card was just taken away without a thank you. Just as the quality of the service, the quality of the food also decreased tremendously. “Ramen” that was just a plain chicken stock without any dept of flavor. Price and quality are NOT aligning. Overall very disappointed experience and we will not return.

    Food is nice but overpriced for what you get. 17 dollars for a single fried hard boild egg with a bot of humus is a steal.

    Shalom Japan is a wonderful dining experience. The food is great. I think we've had everything on the menu at this point. If you aren't going to get the Challah and the Duck Wings, don't even bother going -- just kidding. But they are both just amazing. The Matzoh Ball Soup Ramen is great and we added the foie gras dumpling AND the egg. This time I had the Lox which was great and we've had the Wagyu Pastrami Sando in the past which is fantastic. The first time we went, long before COVID, there was a tasting menu and paired Sake list. I hope those return eventually but, until then, order as much as you think you can comfortably eat because it is all worth it.

    Stunned by how great this was. The food, the cocktails, the service, the ambiance. We started with the egg - phenomenal, and the duck wings - also phenomenal. I got the lox bowl and my boyfriend went with the hot pot. In my humble opinion the lox bowl was better, but I’m also not a big fan of beef. We finished with the challah bread pudding, which was delicious. I loved the creativity in the dishes. Definitely a good place to have lined up to impress family or friends. We’ll be back!

    Coming from Cleveland with 3 good friends and went to visit two friends from Brooklyn. My Brooklyn friends had not heard of Shalom Japan before but when we left they had said that it was some of their best experiences with food despite living there for a year, they loved the Jewish and Japanese fusion concept and are going back whenever they can. Shalom Japan is most definitely on my list of places to visit and get a Murder hornet cocktail when I am back in Brooklyn.

    I took my boyfriend here because we saw it on TikTok. The concept was alluring, Japanese & Jewish fusion restaurant. The food was okay. I personally didn't think the food was bad, nor exceptional -- someplace in the middle. I do think the ramen bowls were a bit overpriced for the value and size of the bowl. Other restaurants in the area can get you a hefty bowl for about 13-15 bucks; these were close to 20 for what I consider a small bowl. I'm glad my boyfriend and I made a visit, and although I don't plan on making a return trip, I think this is a fun place to try a unique culinary fusion.

    Good food, interesting fusion of Japanese/Jewish. Portions are not large, and you can get a much better pastrami sandwich elsewhere. Okonomi-Latke, duck wings, and matzoh ball ramen were excellent.

    We went on a Sunday evening. It was lovely. The ambiance of the restaurant is neighborly exotic, it has a warm, welcoming asian ambiance with a hint of pub. The Fauci-ouchi was an exceptional cocktail. We enjoyed the okonomyaki but more fried than expected in a traditional japanese manner and oilier than a potato pancake, so this wasn't a positive. The roasted vegetable were superb and the ramen was just the perfect marriage of Jewish and Japanese comfort foods. Well done all around.

    Such delicious, creative, comfort food here. We managed to try about half the things on the brunch menu, and every bite was delicious. There were so many “why didn’t I think of that” moments when we saw the different elements of international cuisines combined. The staff was charming and attentive and made us feel like we were at home among friends. Love this place. Can’t wait to go back for dinner.

    Omg delicious. Every dish was a winner. Server was great with explaining as well as personable. We were early diners and it was of course not noisy. When we left at 7 it was full and understandably livelier. Will definitely go back.
