It’s a creative concept and there are some really fun fusion dishes, like the okonomyaki, and matzoh ball ramen, plus their umami-reach challah. But there are also some dishes that play it safe, like an unremarkable noodle bowl or the admittedly tasty but not even remotely Japanese (but rather Levantine-inspired) falafel-breaded egg. For dinner, the large plate menu is pretty lightweight: a sandwich, ramen, a pork chop, aforementioned vegetarian noodles and what is essentially a poke bowl with smoked salmon. In short, Shalom Japan has flattened out over the years, and some of the fun fusion has faded. Service was average — food just dropped in place, a missed opportunity to convey the restaurant’s approach to fusion — and we were very disappointed to see that the menu prices reflect cash payment (add 3% surcharge for cards), a clear violation of New York consumer law, which requires menu prices reflect card prices. (The cash discount mentioned on the menu is already reflected in the prices, so it’s actually a surcharge to pay with cards.) I hope they can address this soon.

So I’d been stalking their Instagram for ages. Finally had a reason to come to NY from West coast & immediately made a reservation here.

The okonomiyaki was delicious and a great shareable starter. The pork tonkotsu was cooked perfect and had a great hint of that characterstic curry flavor

The service was excellent and the food was good, but I didn’t feel it was anything special. We ate family style and had around 7-8 dishes and they were good, just not all that memorable. The Lion’s Mane Karaage was very good! Matzoh Ball Ramen sounds fun, but I felt like I’d had better ramen and matzoh ball soup elsewhere

Wanted to be obsessed with this place so so much. The service was really good and our server was absolutely lovely. We ordered the challah and the Jew egg to start. Highlight of the meal was the Jew egg hands down. For the mains we got the ramen with an extra matzoh ball and the hot pot with the truffle. The ramen was … eh. The matzoh ball addition was a cute thought but I wouldn’t get it again. The hot pot was delightful though, and the truffle was a nice touch. Ultimately it filled us up and we had a good time, but this might be a one and done for me.

Overall the food had good flavor, but wasn’t worth going out of my way to eat here and jump my restaurant queue.

Such a unique cute restaurant! Brunch was amazing. Definitely recommend the lox bowl and matzoh ball ramen. Even the bloody mary was great. Will go back!

Shalom Japan has been on my bucket list for a while and we were interested in Japanese and Jewish fusion dishes.
