Shalom Japan Reviews from The Last Year
Recommended: Pastrami Sando, Mazemen, Challah,
Recommended: Pastrami Sando, Mazemen, Challah, Okonomiyaki I went to this unique restaurant twice. As per the name, they combine Jewish food (and more specifically Ashkenazi/European Jewish food) with Japanese food. Some combinations work but most definitely did not. The staff here is nice and the atmosphere is pretty casual with good lighting. The first time I was here, I ordered the Sweet and Sawa for $18 to drink. This had Toki Japanese whiskey, shochu, honey, yuzu, and egg white. It was a pretty solid cocktail with a good whiskey base and a good mix of sweetness and sourness as per the name. I would recommend it. From the smaller plates, I've tried a few. The best of the cheaper options and likely what you should start with is the $7 Sake Kasu Challah which comes with golden raisin butter. I am a stickler for good challah and while the texture isn't really comparable to a more traditional challah such as from Zadie's, the flavor was nice with a subtle sweetness and there are some black sesame seeds on top which is a unique spin. The golden raisin butter on the side is delicious and makes this worth it even for one challah. If you're in a group, I would also recommend heavily the Okonomiyaki for $19 with wagyu pastrami, sauerkraut, and bonito flakes. This is a very fun spin on this traditional dish with the pickled cabbage adding good saltiness and the bonito adding a slight fishiness. While there isn't much pastrami in there, the bit of it is quite tasty and the portion size is great. I'd honestly order this or the mazemen as your main. Pretty good but overpriced is the Roasted Scallops for $23 with miso panko butter, celery root, parsnip purée, and maitake. While I don't see the influence here from either culture, the scallops are plump and the butter had a good richness and sweetness with some umami. The weakest easily and the worst dish I've had here by far is the Lion's Mane Karaage for $18 with Japanese fried mushrooms and pickled chilies. Karaage is associated with the good crispiness and crunch and these mushrooms lack that entirely having an unappetizing texture. The lack of mayo or any sauce didn't help either. For larger courses, I have tried a bunch but most of them have been not that good. The best of the bunch is easily the Sesame Temomi Mazemen which is $19 with shiitake mushrooms, shishito, cucumbers, and shiso. There is a great nuttiness to the whole dish and the noodles had a good pleasant chew. It's a lot better than the other more famous ramen here and it's probably the only main I liked here along with the sando. Solid is the Wagyu Pastrami Sando for $23 with house pastrami, gulden's mustard, and dill pickle on on shokupan (i.e. Japanese milk bread.) This was a fun spin on the usual Jewish deli sandwich with the pastrami being pretty tender though not as salty as I would expect for pastrami. This was easily the other best main dish and I would recommend this. We also had a Tonkatsu which I don't see listed on the current menu so perhaps it was a special or it used to be on the menu. I think it was something around $35 or so and it was alright. The breading was a bit thick and the pork could have been more tender. The Lox Bowl at $27 sounds nice in concept with rice, ikura, Japanese pickles, avocado, fried capers, and chili mayo being almost a fun Jewish spin on a poke bowl but there is way too much rice and not enough of everything else. The flavors are fine with there perhaps being a bit too much saltiness but it just isn't that worth it. I've also solely had the Matzah Ball Ramen which for $19 comes with only chicken broth, scallion, mandels (i.e. the little bread pieces in there,) and nori. The soy marinated egg is an extra $3 and the foie gras dumpling is an extra $4 so they already overpriced ramen gets up to $26 including both of these or $29 if you want to add an extra matzah ball. This is absurd both for quality and for price. The chicken broth was way too light for it being a ramen reminding me more of a chicken/matzah ball noodle soup. The noodles were fine but not cooked as well as the mazemen. The matzah ball quality was good while the dumpling had a good fatty filling though it didn't exactly remind me of foie gras. The egg was perfectly fine but not worth $3 being worse than many ramen spots which charge less or similar. I wouldn't recommend it at all. The only dessert I've had here is the Japanese Sweet Potato Cheesecake for $12 with black sesame crust and creme fraiche. The black sesame and cheese flavor overpowers the lighter sweet potato and overall it just tastes like an okay cheesecake with an okay texture. A drink special which had either tequila and chocolate tasted so much of alcohol for someone else that they requested some extra chocolate or something to dilute it. I love the concept of this restaurant both as being Jewish and as someone who likes Japanese food a lot but the execution didn't pan out. Too many misses for the high prices. 2.4.
This spot has been on my list and I'm so glad I finally
This spot has been on my list and I'm so glad I finally made it out for brunch here! Firstly, the service is top notch and so so friendly. It's a small space but roomy enough that parties aren't on top of each other. My boyfriend got a sencha hot tea, and they do complimentary hot water refills, which is nice. Together we ordered: Egg sandwich (on challah roll) - challah was delish and with the cheese it was yummy! Definitely enjoyed as a sharing dish; I'd want to order two things with this brunch entree for palate cleansing. Okonomiyaki - 5/5!!! I highly recommend! Having authentic okonimyaki in Japan before, I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious Shalom Japan's version was. The sauerkraut wasn't too strong or sour that it affected the dish. The pancake had a crispy outside and a flavorful inside, and omg the wagyu pastrami was SUCH a delicious touch. Matzoh ball ramen - If you find that some Japanese ramens can be too "heavy tasting" or high on salt, this is a great refreshing chicken broth that feels very light but has a lot of ingredients of your typical ramen. Loved the touch of the mandel. Wish there were more carrots (we only got two small ones). Kudos to the chef because the ramen noodles were the most perfect texture!! As it was served al dente, once we took a slurp of the noodles after it sat in the hot broth it was perfect. Since my boyfriend and I shared all three dishes, I appreciated how we were served and enjoyed the first two before we were served the Ramen as the last dish. The timing worked out well, for the amount of room we had on our table but also to give our appetites a little break + focus on the ramen once we were served it. I definitely recommend this place particularly for brunch, since I know the prices are a bit higher for dinner time for some of the dishes (I wonder if the portions are bigger), but there are certain dishes only available at dinner and not on the brunch menu.
Been searching for matzo ball ramen since a beloved Boston
Been searching for matzo ball ramen since a beloved Boston restaurant took theirs off its menu. Loved the atmosphere and music inside. We ate at the bar as it's always very packed and booked up. Had: Matzo ball ramen with soy marinated egg (great and the egg is a mandatory add in my opinion. Noodles perfect, broth no high sodium like other ramen and very flavorful) Rustic fries (so good) house salad (good)

Absolutely out of this world! We had the pre-fix which had all the fixings, and great for groups! The pastrami sandwich and matzoh ball ramen were delectable. The ambiance is intimate yet inviting. My only regret is that I don't live closer!

This place exceeded my expectations in every way! The ambiance of the restaurant is warm, cozy, and inviting. It's a small space and feels intimate. The menu is unique and has dishes that feature a fusion of Japanese and Jewish cuisine. The drinks were great and they had a wide variety of wines and beers to choose from. Every single appetizer and entree looked amazing, and the waiter was kind enough to give us personal recommendations! The Mazeman I chose was flavorful and hearty, making it the perfect choice for a winter night. I really enjoyed my meal and would love to go back!
If you are looking for a unique place that does fusion
If you are looking for a unique place that does fusion right, this is it. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate and celebrates, Jewish and Japanese culture. I highly recommend the fried mushrooms which are called Lion's Mane. Sesame Mazemen is vegan delicious. Plates made to share. Service is above average. Highly recommended. Make a reservation.
super fun fusion concept, Japanese & Jewish.
It was a great place to try during Hanukkah, they had some decor up. Definitely not kosher style or anything, with scallops & pork on the menu. But some cool jewish influence on all the menu items. 3 of us split 3 apps & 3 entrees-- we were all perfectly content/full. For the starters we had the challah, the lions mane friend mushrooms, and the latke. You can skip the challah. the latke was AMAZING and i could have ate like 3. The mushrooms were delicious but i wish it came with some sort of dipping sauce. For entrees we had the matzo ball ramen, the sesame noodles, and the lox bowl. All 3 were soo good. The staff gave us a couple small bowls for both the noodles and the ramen so we were easily able to share. We got an extra matzo ball added, and an egg to the noodles. The ramen was the most underwhelming of the 3 entrees, but still tasty. We ended the night with a sufganiyot ice cream sandwich, which was sugar donut stuffed with yuzu flavored ice cream I believe, especially for Hanukkah. I would definitely go again!
Solid meal! The Matzoh Ball Ramen was great - the egg was
Solid meal! The Matzoh Ball Ramen was great - the egg was fantastic. I loved the combination of flavors. My friends both had the Jew Egg as their main entree and enjoyed it. We finished off with some desserts, which were great. Service was friendly. Be aware - the menu is fairly limited - if you're a picky eater, you're not going to be able to find anything.
Shalom Japan had been languishing in my bookmarks for ages,
Shalom Japan had been languishing in my bookmarks for ages, so I leapt at the chance to convince dinner companions to go when we found ourselves in the neighborhood. It was a last-minute decision and therefore, we showed up without reservations only to find a packed snug (but not too snug) dining room. Thankfully we didn't have to wait too long; make a reservation on Resy ahead of time if you can. We shared a few appetizers, ordered our own mains, and split some desserts. I selected the matzo ball ramen ($19) with a foie gras dumpling ($4) and was content. It was a chilly wet evening which was also prime ramen weather. Oh, and the restroom sports charming ramen wallpaper! We all approved of the sake kasu challah ($7), Jew egg ($17), and lion's mane karaage ($18). Note that it's Jew egg and not Jew eggs; there's just one falafel-esque egg but it's still yummy, being accompanied by hummus, Israeli salad, feta, olives, and mint. Our dessert choices were the matcha ice cream parfait ($13) and the Japanese sweet potato cheesecake ($12). I was expecting to prefer the cheesecake but I ended up adoring the matcha ice cream parfait. Can't beat that potent matcha flavor. We all agreed the prices were a hair high but were satisfied with the food and the unique culinary concept. And our server was a friendly and helpful guy. I like this blurb in the "About the Business" section on this page: Authentically inauthentic Jewish and Japanese food in South Williamsburg from chefs Aaron Israel and Sawako Okochi." Sums Shalom Japan up nicely!

Overall: 100% worth traveling from Times Square where my hotel was located for 20+ minutes via Uber each way to enjoy the delicious cocktails and food. Tastiness: The food was super creative and tasty. I would return to NY just to enjoy more dishes from this restaurant! The portions are generous and prepared with high quality ingredients. The Matzo Ball Soup is a generous serving that was impossible to finish after enjoying the okonomiyaki. Service: All staff was courteous and efficient, and we even got to see the owners who came out to meet one of the customers (as he was Japanese and Jewish ). Rarely does a restaurant impress with food, hospitality, heart, creativity, and cleanliness, but this place is a superlative of all these. Ambiance: Dimly lit restaurant, full of cool posters and art, on a quiet street in Brooklyn. Cleanliness: Super clean. Price: Well priced for the creativity, service, and quality of the ingredients.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
