Nem's Japandi Bistro 7.7
Williamsburg
Nem’s Japandi Bistro is an all-day cafe off North 6th that blends Japanese comfort food with Scandinavian-influenced design and a casual coffee-bar feel. Feedback on execution is mixed, but for locals it works as a low-pressure spot to grab Japanese-leaning breakfast, sandos, and lighter plates in a calm setting.
Must-Try Dishes: Japanese-style pancakes or French toast, Katsu or egg sando, Seasonal donburi bowl
