This place is great! Awesome little restaurant for Japanese street food. The food is great, it's well priced, and the restaurant has a nice chill vibe. You pay at the front and they bring your food out, very casual.
I've been here a couple of times and my favorite is their "ramen rice." If you like spice, get it spicy, it has a good amount of heat. It's really good!
I really recommend this place, it's one of my favorites in the city right now.

Fantastic Uzbek restaurant! Brighton and the surrounding areas have a lot of Russian and Uzbek restaurants but this is probably my favorite, been here a few times.
Every time the food has been fresh and very well made. My personal recommendations are the "potatoes homestyle," the samsa, the manty, and the kebabs. All of the kebabs were pretty tasty but the lamb ribs were definitely the best.
Why I am I giving it 4/5 if I like it so much? There is a 10% service charge in small letters on the menu. If the prices aren't high enough to pay appropriate wages, then that should be built into the price of the dishes. Or just trust customers to tip appropriately. I usually tip 20% and I was confused if I still need to tip 20% on top of the service fee, or if this was considered part of the tip.
I'll happily revise my rating to 5/5 if they get rid of the service charge. If you're in the area definitely try this place, but be aware of the service fee.

Pretty okay Ukrainian restaurant. There are many, many Russian and Ukrainian restaurants in this part of Brooklyn and this one does not do much to stand out.
I recently celebrated a big family event here, so we got the banquet. The cold food was pretty good. There was a good variety of different salads and cold cuts, and everything seemed very high quality. The hot food was less impressive but not bad. Nothing stood out as being bad but everything was pretty mild and seemed to be covered in the same exact mushroom sauce. Not much variety.
There was a "show" the night we were there, and it was okay. About average for this kind of restaurant. For the uninitiated, if you go on a weekend night, there is usually some sort of singing "show," with singers of various quality doing covers of popular Eastern European songs.
If it was just for the food (mild but inoffensive) and the singers (also, mild and inoffensive), I would give this place four stars, but the service was not great. We had several younger children in our party so we repeatedly told them that we wanted our food brought out earlier so we could leave before it got too late.
Our waiter politely nodded and proceeded to completely ignore our request. If it is not possible to bring out the food quicker and they told us that, I would understand completely and not hold it against them. But the waiter said it was no problem, and nothing was done.
We ended up leaving past midnight, and we saw a mysterious "5H" charge on our bill which I can only assume to be a charge for staying over five hours. If this is a misunderstanding I am willing to amend this review but it seemed pretty clear. How convenient that they bring out the food so slowly that you have to stay for at least 5 hours, eh?
In short, a fairly average Eastern European restaurant. I personally would not come back, but it is not a horrible choice (but there are better options in the neighborhood). Under no circumstances would I recommend the banquet however. Stick with à la carte.
