Jun Shokudo

Is this the best sushi I’ve ever had? No. Is it one if not the best in the area. Absolutely. I order from Jun Shokudo at least once a week — their lunch special is an incredible deal. The fish is always fresh and the salad of mixed greens is a step up from the romaine you usually get from other places. Leafy and crisp.
I can’t wait to try dinner there

YES!!! Downtown Brooklyn just scored a great sushi spot, something it was definitely missing. Caught a lunch special here the other day. We arrived at maybe 1pm and were greeted promptly and seated immediately. The young lady that served us was very knowledgeable about the menu and was able to suggest some items for us. I ordered a very reasonably priced 2-​roll combo. The rolls were pretty simple, which allowed me to really taste the fish, which was super fresh and tasty. My colleague enjoyed a hot lunch special, which I was super jealous of because it was the best crispy skinned salmon I’ve tasted in a while.
Anyway, if you live or work in Downtown Brooklyn, Jun Shokudo is the lunch spot you have been waiting for. Great décor, clean restaurant, excellent service, and delicious food. Will definitely be back.

Is Jun Shokudo a welcomed addition to this awkward part of BK that can’t even be associated with a neighborhood due to its placement next to the BQE entrance? Yas.
I live across the street, so I obviously had to stop by for dinner at some point. We now have four restaurants in my part of the ‘hood since I first moved here two years ago. (Starbucks just opened this year, so you know that hints at what’s happening… rent increase for me, ugh lordy).
Anyway, we ordered–
Futomaki roll: ended up ordering two bc we were still hungry and it was good. *recommend
Salmon Hakozushi (pressed sushi): aka a roll pressed into a rectangular box aka great for your Instagram, but not impressive in flavor or uniqueness. We preferred the good olé roll.
Chirashi Don: normal chirashi dish
Miso Glazed Wings: I thought it was too salty for my taste, but everyone adored them. It is seriously crispy, reminiscent of the style of Korean chicken wings I love so much. *recommend
It’s a small, cozy space that I think deserves its hype for this area. That being said, it’s A-​OK because there are other areas with better food/​prices. I recognize this was just for one dinner service when they first opened, so don’t take it too seriously. I think I would go back/​will update if I do, but it’s been over two months since I first visited.

Jun Shokudo is a great little Japanese restaurant that opened recently on the somewhat deserted Gold St in DUMBO. The service was excellent and my cup of green tea was constantly being refilled by the waiter.
My friend and I enjoyed their lunch specials which are a great deal at around $ 12 for a set that includes a protein, miso soup, a heaping bowl of rice and cold/​pickled veggies. I think they only offer two lunch specials a day which varies day by day. I had the salted mackerel, which was perfectly seasoned and cooked, and my friend had the pork katsu, which was also very good and had a hint of jalapeño. If you’re craving sushi, you can also get three rolls off their a la carte menu for only $ 13. I will definitely come back here if I’m ever in the area!

Great menu that is always changing. Sam and Alex run this place and are doing a great job. They have some tasty desert options too. Can’t wait for the fried icecream though.

NICE FIND!!!
We were hoping that a legitimate japanese restaurant came to downtown brooklyn (especially since a lot of japanese restaurants around here are either not very good or are more asian-​american fusion types with teriyaki bs)
My husband and I went there for lunch and were surprised to find lunch sets that were like home cooked meals made in a japanese household. They were delicious! The service was superb and the price was beyond reasonable. They have a good sake selection as well. Gotta come back for dinner!

Having been to extraordinary Japanese restaurants in traditional settings aside, this is a cozy, tiny place with lots to offer. The staff was very polite and welcoming and service was immediate. The menu is limited compared to larger establishments but everything was delicious and there were specials not on the menu. The Miso soup was delicious as were Maki rolls. Everything tasted fresh. The crowd was young and trendy and there was a bar seating if you are eating alone or just like chatting with others. Overall s great dinner

I am so thrilled that Jun Shokudo has opened in downtown Brooklyn. The space is small but inviting and cozy, and the waitstaff and sushi chef were all friendly and attentive. Above all, though, it is the food that makes this new restaurant really shine. Highlights of the evening:
Niku jaga: braised root vegetables and beef. At 6 dollars, this hearty bowl of comfort food was filling and inexpensive and the taste was superb.
Chawan mushi: this steamed egg custard was the perfect texture and had a wonderful savory flavor.
Sushi rolls: both the salmon kimchi roll and the spicy scallop roll were out-​of-​this-​world. The flavors were unique and the plump pieces of scallop were so fresh and soft that it melted in your mouth. Highly recommend both!
I will most certainly be making Jun Shokudo my new neighborhood Japanese joint and I am happy that they also deliver and have lunch specials!

Good lunch set. Grilled mackerel is delicious.
Sushi rice pretty good. Sashimi fresh !!
Miso soup tasted a bit numbing (like medicinal) tho.

Sushi is average. Nothing surprised.
Service is good, they are trying.
One of the keys to determinate how good/​bad of a sushi restaurant is how they prepare the rice. The sushi rice here is too hard and too sweet.
However, for the price and location, since there is not too much choices in the hood, it is still an OK place to go.

Came here based on recommendation from a fellow Unilocaler. Since this place is new, I got a bunch of my coworkers to visit tonight. This is a small cozy place. The staff greeted us warmly and was patient in answering any questions we had. We got a variety of things from fried shrimp to soups to fish cakes to a variety of rolls to bigger plates to desserts. I will highlight a few that stood out.
Kimchi Salmon Roll was surprisingly not that spicy. This is the closest to «spicy salmon roll» that I would get from a low end Japanese place. I was concerned that kimchi would be too spicy, but this was just the right kick. I would totally order this again.
Spicy Scallop Roll was not as spicy as I had thought and the scallop pieces were soft and tender. This is a must get if you also want to come for their lunch roll special.
Grilled Miso Black Cod was the single thing that I was looking forward to. It was buttery tender and generally made well. I wish it was marinated in miso a little bit more so that the miso flavor would be stronger, but this is definitely not bad at all. There are a quite a bit of bones in the two pieces of filet so you should be careful in eating it. Even though I didn’t try it, the grilled miso salmon looked equally as appetizing as the black cod.
Matcha Mousse was simple but a nice end to a great meal. It caught my eye as soon as I looked at the menu and this didn’t disappoint. It’s on the sweeter side, so if you don’t like your dessert overly sweet, then don’t get this one.
I’m looking forward to coming here for lunch and trying their chirashi don! This is a solid hidden gem that I hope it is here to stay!

A bit off the path of the subway but worth the little trek. Food was exquisite. Sushi beautifully presented with delicious fresh ingredients. Decent prices, intimate atmosphere, overall nice experience.

New restaurant in the neighborhood and it’s a must go! Really good food and love the interior design of this place. Came here with my family and we tried a little bit of everything. Their appetizers really good. Had the marinated mackerel, braised pork belly, steamed egg custard, pickled vegetables, shrimp tempura roll, tempura appetizer, miso black cod and some of «Today’s smaller plates and little things» which is really good.
–Shrimp tempura is really good here. I don’t usually order shrimp tempura roll when I go to a Japanese restaurant, but since my brother did I tasted a piece of it. It was really good, it didn’t taste heavy or oily at all. It tasted fluffy and light.
–Tempura appetizer: ordered it because the shrimp tempura was good. It was just as good, fluffy and light. The tempura sauce was really good and it went perfect with the tempura appetizer.
–Pickles vegetables good to eat as you eat through out your meal.
–Steamed egg custards tasted very light and silky, perfect for a light appetizer. It also comes in a really cute cup and baby spoon.
–Braised Pork Belly is my favorite! I love pork belly, but not a lot of places can make the perfect sauce for pork belly. The sauce that they have also have goji berries in them and it goes perfect with the pork belly. It’s a must try!
–Marinated mackerel, I love eating mackerel raw and never had it cooked before so I decided to give it a try and it was good! It’s a little sour, but not over dressed. Opens up your appetite a little!
–Miso black cod was also one of my favorite dish, they cooked it perfectly and it tasted amazing. It doesn’t have any sauce to go with it, but you don’t even need any sauces and it’s tastes really good.
–Today’s smaller plates and little things: one of the little things we had was tofu with different types of mushroom and soup in it. The soup was really good and it went perfectly with the mushroom and tofu.
I will def come back with family and friends to try out other things on the menu.

So glad to have this place nearby! We went on a Saturday night, and despite the restaurant’s out-​of-​the-​way location, it was packed.
Recommend sitting at the bar and watching the food being made. We ordered the Niku Jaga (which was not unlike the beef stews we ate at home as a child) and several rolls. The salmon pressed sushi was the most memorable and worth the price ($ 15). Will be back!

Must have menu items:
–Miso black cod
–Scallop roll (there’s a spicy sauce which is good if not a bit too present — you want some of it but not as much as they’ll give you)
–Seaweed salad (three or four kinds of seaweed — toss it a little to join the umami party)
–Yellow tail sashimi
Skip these:
–Miso soup (kinda bland — try the daily soup instead)
–Tuna roll (unless you like your tuna ground — wasn’t bad just not amazing)

I tried this place for the first time last week and I was really impressed with the quality of the sushi. It wasn’t like typical sushi places and Wally gave you quality portions of the fish. I feel confident here that I am getting quality food so that is always a plus when it comes to raw fish. My only complaint is the prices are on the higher side but you get what you pay for.

I went to Jun Shokudo for dinner with some friends. It is a new Japanese restaurant in Brooklyn. They have a nice sushi and a la carte menu. I had California rolls, dragon rolls and a tempura set which had veggies and shrimp. I also had the tuna and branzzino sashimi. The butakakuni was sooo delicious.
I really liked the cute design, which reminds me of Japan. Our waitress was really nice. She paid a lot of attention to us, and kept the drinks flowing. Definitely check it out.

Jun Shokudo is a great addition to Downtown Brooklyn, and I think everyone agrees.
Jun Shokudo specializes in traditional home style cooking. They have a chalk board of daily specials which seem to sell out often. I’ve had the chance of trying their sake marinated sea trout w/​home made tofu special, which was out of this world!
All the small plates are intriguing and so reasonably priced that you can’t help but to try them all.
Everything was so fresh from the greens to the fish.
Highly recommended if you find yourself in the area!

Here comes real Japanese food in downtown Brooklyn… As for me, Japanese food isn’t just sushi and sashimi. I miss all of homemade style Japanese food. This is the place my wish came true. …
Jun the chef is awesome. She is so talented. Kakuni, Kinpira, Nikujaga… etc etc.
I could eat them everyday. It was the taste of nostalgic… I felt like I was home back in Japan.
I do have to go back to try every single thing on menu tho …
Place is new and clean. Very convenient location.
Stuff is friendly and kind. I will defiantly recommend to everyone who wants to try more then just sushi.

I made it to this restaurant on opening night and expectations were blown away. We arrived before 6pm and the space looked great (like something you would imagine in Tokyo but without the Asian music at least this time) was busy and seemed to be running perfectly.
We tried the black cod, which was very moist and had a very nice miso glaze. We also had miso glazed chicken wings, which were very juicy and tasty, some sushi rolls and tuna and salmon Hakozushi. I’ve eaten at a lot of Japanese restaurants but have never heard of the Hakozushi sushi. It’s a square sushi piece with other ingredients and it was very very tasty!
It’s great to have an awesome Japanese restaurant in DoBro to round off the wide range of cuisine –amazing Peruvian, Italian, French, American, and Mexican restaurants!
