Best Japanese Restaurants in Clinton Hill

Can never go wrong at NoBu. Their A5 Japanese Wagyu is definitely top 3 that I’ve ever had.

Delicious food and a fun vibe. Sitting at the temaki counter was fun and it was nice to be given the temaki one at a time. Excited to go back!

We made a reservation 2 weeks in advance for Valentine’s Day. We arrived on time and there were still many open tables. The hostess (Josephine) leads us to a table directly next to the door. When I requested a table in the back (at least 3 open tables) she said in an extremely rude manner that she would not give me a table in the back and would only offer me the table next to the door. She further angrily stated that she has 64 reservations for that night. That’s fine but if there are many open tables when a patron arrives they should be given the opportunity to have a table that is not next to the door where the cold air hit us every time the door opened. The reservation is for a certain time NOT for a specific table so why was I denied the table I requested when there were so many open tables. The waitress was great, the food was delicious and a good value for the price. Josephine needs to learn how to politely deal with patrons if she is to stay in the hospitality industry.

We recently dined at Fushimi Williamsburg, and I’m still thinking about the incredible experience. The seaweed salad was a perfect start to the meal—refreshing, flavorful, and beautifully textured. It had just the right balance of savory umami with a slight tang, making each bite a delight. My wife ordered the Chilean Seabass and it was absolutely outstanding. It was perfectly cooked—flaky, tender, and moist, with a delicate buttery flavor that paired beautifully with the subtle seasoning. I had Dry-Aged Ribeye and it was a showstopper. It was cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside and beautifully pink on the inside, with a rich, beefy flavor that only comes from dry-aging. The steak was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the seasoning was spot-on. Overall, Fushimi Williamsburg delivered an unforgettable meal with impeccable flavors, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Had a good experience, other than being told there was no coffee/cappuccino because the machine was broken. Would’ve liked to stay and enjoy the ambience longer and have coffee and was unable to.
