Best Creative Japanese Restaurants in Red Hook

This was not just a very nice and tasty dinner - this was a culinary experience that was incredible. The fish was insanely fresh and good. Sake was flowing, the staff were authentic and nice - they seemed to be invested in making this a night to remember. The manager (perhaps owner) was friendly and seemed to be having as much fun as the guests as he answered questions,filled.our cups, told us stories, made recommendations of places to find a nice cocktail. The ambiance was also incredible but all of it together put the guests at ease and even though we hadn't known each other before it felt like we were fining with friends - laughing and talking throughout the entire meal. I highly recommend this wonderful place and look forward to my next visit in the city when I will hopefully dine there again!!

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

Food was amazing, chef was a blast, and the playlist was fire!

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.

Tiny restaurant with a big taste. Loved the quirky alts on traditional Japanese dishes as well as the some new takes.
