#4
Yamato
7.9
Yamato is a longtime Seventh Avenue Japanese restaurant with a broad menu that mixes sushi, dim sum, and noodles in a casually elegant room. Locals use it for comfortable dates where roll platters, hot dishes, and an easy wine and sake list matter as much as pristine nigiri.
Must-Try Dishes:
Yamato Roll, Brooklyn Roll, Chef’s Special Rolls Assortment
What Makes it Special: A roomy, classic Park Slope Japanese spot where sushi shares the table with dim sum and noodles.
Konoha is a newer Union Street yakitori and ramen house that also serves a compact sushi menu, giving date nights a cozier, more casual option steps from the Food Coop. Skewers, hearty bowls, and a few playful sushi items make it ideal for couples who want Japanese comfort food with a side of rolls.
Must-Try Dishes:
Konoha Original Ramen, Tuna Pizza, Spicy Salmon Roll
What Makes it Special: A cozy yakitori-and-ramen shop that adds fun sushi and tuna “pizza” to the mix.
