Comment: I will say this is not a hang-out place, not fancy, food in disposable containers, but great spot when u r alone, on a meal break or just get off ur job. I tasted “REAL Japan” here!❤️‍🔥No high-level touch but a store like a family restaurant at the corner that I would go when traveling in Japan.The roasted beef on rice was so delicious! Soybean sauce mixing with half-raw egg, and you have a slice of beef dip in, eat with rice. This dish was cold tho, I do hope the rice could be warmer.I also had ✨takoyaki which the staff recommended and now I recommend. 5 pieces but 3 cubes of octopus in each piece! Crispy edge and melting filling. More the style from eastern Japan.The do have little details to improve but unique and real Japanese food as reasons to visit. I would like to try the black curry next time..!

Comment: My daughter and I visited tonight for the first time to satisfy a Japanese Katsu Curry craving. After the very sweet Obaasan behind the counter explain the ‘black curry’, we ordered a Beef Katsu Curry plate, Chicken Katsu Curry plate and a side of potato salad. Honestly, in the 14yrs of living in NYC, this was the best curry we have ever had. We will definitely be back. 10 ⭐️

Comment: Unapologetically Japanese food indistinguishable from what youd get in Tokyo today, owned and operated by an enthusiastic young Japanese gentleman who you can tell really cares about taste and authenticity. A lot of these dishes are contemporary hits easy to find in Japan but really hard to find in NYC.

Comment: Authentic “yoshoku” style food that is lesser known compared to the more famous cuisines like ramen and sushi…extremely underrated in my opinion and many outside of Japan don’t know about, but what I often crave since leaving the country 12+ years ago. It’s not sushi or ramen I reminisce…it’s this stuff. Japanese owned and operated, I found this gem of a place originally through the Japanese NY Facebook community I am a part of. The price is a bit on the higher end but with the quality of the ingredients used, it’s hard to complain. They also have weekly discounts on select menu items which is a very Japanese concept and rarely seen here. My favorite here is their “hamburg steak” teishoku set, which comes with a side of rice, salad, miso soup and poached egg on top. I always ask for cheese on the meat because why not. This is best ordered and served at the restaurant, but their delivery quality is top notch as well. Their katsudon and black curry is also my go-to and their teriyaki chicken burger was so tender, juicy and filling. I did not feel sick afterwards which to me goes to show the quality ingredients they use. And to top it all off, the staff are very warm and friendly.10/10 highly recommend.

Comment: J’s Kitchen has been on my bucket list for a while and we finally got a chance to visit it.The decor is simple, bright and humble with cozy ambiance & limited seating. They serve dishes from 6+ popular restaurant brands in Japan.We got Roast Beef Don in regular size and Beef Cutlet Combo to share between us. Both orders were served warm and impressively delicious, especially the roast beef, which was tender & flavorful. Moreover, they also made rice and side salad perfectly.The price is extremely reasonable with its portion and delicateness. We highly recommend to give them a try.

Comment: This is not a fancy place and price is not cute either but the taste here is very real for sure.I even think about this place sometimes because I miss their food too much, I’m not sure why they are still keep being such a low key place regardless of their quality. But anyway it’s worth a try. I remember they have a discount on Monday lunch.

Comment: One of my go to Japanese spots for lunch. I have had so many dishes from this little spot and they are all pretty good. It can take a bit to get your food(which means the food is freshly made to order) so either order online or come in when you are not pressed for time.My favorite dish is the chicken katsu don. I usually get pork from other spots but the chicken here is SO GOOD. This dish is closely followed by the black curry. I always get it when they have the special on the 2nd and 4th Monday~!I only dock a few points off because its pretty expensive. I mean its worth it but once in a while. I utilize the points card to work towards the very expensive dishes and get half off~.

Comment: Excellent little restaurant hiding across from Stuy Town on First Avenue. What caught our eye was the clean minimalist vibe and the shimmering food shots from their menu board. The food itself delivers on the promise.This is the kind of place you might expect to find in Times Square or Koreatown, except it seems their main market is takeout and delivery rather than foot traffic, so I suppose its better that theyre across from a massive apartment complex.The dishes are made from high-quality ingredients, particularly their meat and cutlets, and are true to the kind of regional delicacies you find when visiting Japan.Looking forward to visiting again and trying their pork cutlet sando or waygu burger.

It was freshly made and perfectly salty and savory. The meat was juicy and I’m happy I stepped in. It’s a good, no frills Japanese meal.

When it came out it was super hot because it was straight from the kitchen which was so nice. I also really appreciated that the hamburger came with sides like fries and pickles :)It was definitely a new kind of Japanese food experience for me but the quality of everything was great. ++++ you also dont have to wait a long time to get it! Everything about this restaurant is very quick and organized. They definitely get your food to you quick and the interior is very neat and aesthetically pleasing.

Comment: If you want to try Japanese food, but dont want ramen or sushi, try Js. Its excellent. You can save money if you choose a special, or if youre really hungry, you will be totally filled up by the regular entrees. Every dish is cooked on the spot, and comes out of the kitchen hot and fresh. The food is really good. This restaurant has ties with a company in Japan, so their chefs are very well trained in regional specialties.

I got the potato salad sandwich and it literally tastes like it was made in heaven. The quality of ingredients and care in assemblage is palpable; and it’s just potato salad between two pieces of bread. Staff is more than lovely, too. Can’t wait to try more

They are not only a street corner restaurant but a supportive neighbor. The food is great too. Ill try the dine-in option next time.

Comment: Ordered Kagura Pork Cutlet and Kuro Beko Beef Cutlet on separate occasions. Both were amazing!The pork cutlet had really wide cuts and overall the portion size was very satisfying. Sometimes when I order cutlet rice bowls (katsu dons) at other restaurants, the cutlet isnt crispy or is even soft because of excess moisture in the rice/bowl. Here, the katsu has a fresh crispy exterior and the rice has a perfect texture. If you order to-go, theyll put the cutlet and sauce in a separate container.The beef cutlet had an interesting color which I never had before (on the redder side in color) and it paired amazingly with a fresh wasabi sauce/paste. It was my first time eating beef with wasabi, but the flavors worked.Both dishes seemed to have high quality ingredients, and the staff at Js Kitchen are super friendly. I would highly recommend this location for unique, well-portioned, and tasty Japanese food!

Comment: They just opened and have 50% deals the rest of this week. Stopped in to grab the teriyaki torokero-wagyu burger for takeout and it was great! The burger itself was tasty though a bit messy with the sauce. It’s a little sweeter than I would have thought but otherwise loved how peppery it was. The caramelized onions on it were also a nice touch. The fries were super crispy and delicious too. Everyone working there was also super friendly and helpful, and everything was fresh!
