🥞 Viral Japanese Brunch Spot in Williamsburg | Rule of Thirds

Known for its massive, Instagram-famous soufflé pancakes, Rule of Thirds draws weekend brunch crowds to its chic, airy space in Williamsburg. Even seated outside, you’ll stay cozy with personal heaters and covered seating — but does the food live up to the hype? 🍗 Chicken Sando ⭐ A hefty sandwich stuffed with crispy, juicy fried chicken, cabbage slaw, pickles, and mayo. Surprisingly flavorful and well-executed — easily shareable. 🍛 Gyu-don (Beef Rice Bowl) A healthy take with lots of mixed veggies and tender beef. A bit salty and not as exciting as hoped — skip if you’re craving rich, traditional gyudon. 🥞 Soufflé Pancake Huge — seriously, bigger than a face! Fluffy in the middle but dry around the edges, and pretty bland without syrup or cream. More about looks than taste. The space is beautiful and the vibe is relaxed, but the food feels style-over-substance. Great for a cute photo op, but not a must-return for flavor. 📍 Rule of Thirds – Williamsburg, Brooklyn 💰 Around $40 per person #RuleOfThirds #WilliamsburgBrunch #JapaneseBrunch #SoufflePancake #NYCBrunch #ViralFood #NYCEats #PrettyPlates #NYCRestaurants #BrunchReview #Overhyped
