Been eyeing this place for months and I finally got to visit the other week with my bf. It caught my eye because there’s something on the menu for everyone - from yakitori, ramen, sushi, some different bowls. We tried a few different skewers and some sushi and I got a salmon don. The yakitori is cooked on an electric grill and I definitely taste the difference with charcoal which is what I’m used to. It was still satisfying though and what really can’t be beat is the price. I especially enjoyed the salmon don. The salmon slices were so soft and loved the shiso leaves in there also. The ikura was also on point. It was just a great casual but satisfying little outing. Also loved how locked in the staff were. Really appreciate the service as a fellow industry member. Will be back! Thank you!
Ps. The only thing I would suggest bettering is the music choice! It was a bit too pop-normy and loud for my taste and would’ve enjoyed my time even more if there wasn’t as much mall-music in such a...
Read moreKonoha is our favorite Japanese restaurant in Park Slope! We come here regularly for their lunch specials and also to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, graduation, etc. with friends and family.
For lunch today we shared a Ramen & Sushi Combo (lunch special, and we chose Tonkotsu Ramen + Spider Roll) and a sushi deluxe (from the regular menu). Everything was yummy and the broth of the ramen was to die for. Who would have thought a restaurant with a niche offering of yakitori could do ramen better than a ramen specialty shop? I wish there was a way for me to tell all those people waiting 20 minutes outside some ramen specialty shop to come to Konoha for the most amazing ramen! We missed our beloved yakitori today...should have brought friends along to share more dishes!
Konoha has the friendliest, attentive, and mindful staff who are really focused on customer service. We feel so comfortable and well taken of at Konoha that dining there not only satisfies our palates but also...
Read moreStaff are very friendly, food is okay. Yakitori is so so, grill temp is not high enough so both the beef tough and chicken meatball were over cooked inside while soggy outside. Chicken skin was cooked right, but I wish it had a bit more flavor, maybe teriyaki source or sth sweet & salty.
The karaage have bones, I’ve tried karaage many times in nyc and this is the first time I got one with bones, not sure which js authentic. The batter was right, light and crispy, but again chicken was over cooked and try.
Ramen was the best among all we ordered, and above average in nyc. Cons are the egg tasted very blend, maybe did not marinated overnight the chashu was on the over cooked side and a bit chewing, and I don’t like the red ginger in the soup (and it is an uncommon ramen topping in other places in nyc) so ended up scooping them all out...
