great place to chill!! great vibe!!

by mvedder

Supercore has the best vibe in the whole neighborhood!!

Great music,really nice paninis and a variety of teas. Free wi-fi and cute garden.

The japanese staff is awesome except for an american guy that works there who always forgets to put orders in and rolls his eyes every time you ask for something.

Another good thing is that they stay open till late.

• Pros: good food,great atmosphere,nice garden.

not good waitress!

by diamondgate

waiters are not nice, they don't say anything about supplementary budget when we oder something extra-which is add whip cream, half milk, extra hot water, and then, a waiter've just fixed price for a doller when we pay, she told us that just because- it's not eaven.

Cute garden and the best Japanese home cooking

by pinkgigi

This is a real cute neighborhood cafe that offers a nice selection of Japanese home cooking and brunch food. I love the beef stew and chikuzenni. The garden is so cute and is perfect for having drinks with friends. It's the cool yet relaxed atmosphere that makes this place special!

• Pros: beef stew, sangria, chikuzenni

dirty.gross.asian fetishes abound.

by jwaters71

This place is absolutely gross, Their coffee tastes and looks like motor oil (go to Oslo instead), their staff is deliberately rude (I lived in Japan for 5+ years and overheard the little service girls do their typical giggles and make rude comments about the customers, WTF?). Oh and that so-called homestyle Japanese food that sits around in pots all day long? Nasty. Why on earth would I eat "simmered mackerel"or "Japanese curry" (both of which are easy and inexpensive to prepare...these dishes are made from pre-prepared ingredients)? The fact that their most edible dish is avocado on baguette should tell you something about this dirty little joint and the backstabbing people they employ...stay away and spend your hard-earned dollars elsewhere. There are so many wonderful gems in Williamsburg (Dressler, Diner, Dumont, Marlow, Bozu, etc)...this is clearly not one of them.

• Pros: none at all. really.
• Cons: too many to list...

still the most unique place in williamsburg

by cezarr

Great atmosphere,music,waitstaff, garden..This place still keeps the oldschool wiliamsburg vibe.i go there since the first day they open. Small plate dishes are perfectly delicious.meatballs with rice,tofu salad,croissant sandwich..Also they are really cool if you want to drink a coffee and hangout .in short it still has the coffeeshop feeling which newyorkers forget about.

Sake, Japanese snacks and ambient music round out this intimate bar.

by Karen Hudes

The Scene
In understated fashion, this Japanese tapas bar unites the sensibilities of two capitals of hipness--Tokyo and Williamsburg. It has a warm, clean decor of square wood panels and paper lanterns, plus the cute touch of dolls spinning on turntables in the windows. Tricked-out jazz, pop and electronica play most nights, while progressive DJs such as John Davis spin on weekends.

The Draw
Pleasant bartenders serve a range of $3 and $4 Japanese home cooking-style dishes, all presented in artful ceramics. The distinctive offerings include sake-simmered sardines with ginger--salty, yet tempered with light flavors--and the refreshing burdock in sesame sauce; an underseasoned beef stew and bland rice balls are better skipped. The one sake available by the glass, Onigoroshi, is delectably smooth and dry. Other drink options include beer, sangria, prosecco and in chilly weather, a fragrant, comforting mulled wine.
