Amami - Japanese restaurant in Brooklyn - 57 Nassau Ave, USA

Loved this Japanese Restaurant. It is a beautiful space. The murals are beautiful. It is beautifully set up. The playlist they had on was very good. The service is wonderful. The food comes out quickly but at a good pace. You don't feel rushed. The food was 😋. I had the lunch special ($16) which includes choice of Soup or Salad, one roll (large selection) and an Entrée (choice of Salmon, Chicken, Tofu and Steak) they come with White Rice and Vegetables. I had the Miso Soup, White Tuna and Jalapeño Roll and Steak. The Vegetables that came with my Steak were Onions and Peppers. I don't know if it's the same Vegetables on all the Entrées. I would think it is. Everything was made to perfection and beautifully presented. They also have other lunch specials and an A La Carte Menu. We only had water but they do have a full bar. Dessert was not included but we ordered it anyway. I had the Mochi Green Tea. The Ice Cream itself was Green Tea and it tasted great but I don't think I would order Mochi Green Tea again. My friend ordered Tempura Cheesecake. I tried a little piece. It was interesting. The Cheesecake was very creamy and sweeter than New York Cheesecake. This place is good for dining with others and also for Solo dining. I have to come back to try some things from their A La Carte Menu and to try one or two of their Cocktails.

We were two, we ordered appetizers and two main courses. The appetizers were really good: some shrimp spring rolls and very tasty pork gyoza. For the main course, we ordered a special tuna roll with shrimp, which was excellent! However, where it failed, and it failed miserably, was with the chicken teriyaki. It wasn't the sauce that failed, it was the chicken itself... You could tell they were leftover chicken pieces, mostly cartilage and a lot of fat. The chicken was really bad. If I ever come back, it would be by chance, I wouldn't purposely return. The service was very good, but the beer selection was limited, and the ones I requested from the menu were not available. The three stars are two for the service and one for the food. The selection of the chicken pieces was very poor.

Great spot for sushi! The patio space was great, and the whole visual vibe of the restaurant was open, trendy, and accessible. Service was quick and friendly. We split the pork gyoza, charred edamame, and purple potato fries with matcha mayo and they were all AMAZING! The spicy girl roll was my favourite. All the sushi was fresh and colourful, and tasted so good. Definitely recommend, and will keep on a list for future NYC visits.

This place was actually really nice! The service was probably my favorite part, very nice and fast service. I enjoyed my cocktail. Very fancy and cute. All the dishes we got were also good. Make reservations!

Been here a couple of times. Great sushi and cocktails but make sure not to sleep on the ramen. It’s perfectly balanced in all the right ways.

This place is fair enough in the area. Not too expensive but at the price average serving Japanese cuisine. Everything is good, at least my sashimi is well presented. Worth a try.

This place is 100% a GEM. I came here after an appointment cause it caught my eye. I ordered the katsu curry lunch special and what a treat it was. The plate came with a soft boiled egg which was boiled perfectly. It was marinated in mirin and soy, very nice detail. The katsu was fried nicely. The chicken was moist and delicious. On the side was Bulldog brand sauce. OMG!!! No restaurant serves Bulldog sauce. Curry itself could have been slightly richer. $16 is ultra reasonable. I needed a little bit extra, so I checked the menu and found chutoro and otoro. That's unheard of...I rarely find any restaurant serving either. Be aware that it is pricy, but it's worth a try if you've never had it before. Staff is super responsive and friendly. When any of the servers saw my cup empty, they'd come over and top me off. The decor is reminiscent of Japan. The wood furniture and amber light really sets this place apart. Glad I stopped in for lunch.

I have been coming back here couple times after first visited. Mostly come with my friend and she is okay with this place. Today she is in a mood for sushi so this restaurant is around my neighborhood. We have Sashimi Ozara, Kama island, Toro Dynasty, Pork gyoza, Purple Fries, Yaki shishito pepper and 2 bottle toro tempranillo torque. Food is good but at the beginning my friend complain about the waitress that she is not focus and looks like she is out of energy, she forgets lots of stuff like our share plates, napkins, glasses. But there is another waiter that came to our table and get the order or something we want. overall, I still like this restaurant. The location is right near McCarren park and they have dog friendly seat outside, after you walk your pup and you are hungry you can stop by this place.
