Update on the current listing: Bozu has a full bar now and they do take credit cards. Food was very good and the music and decor make for a great atmosphere. Our server was the nicest guy ever, but he was totally swamped waiting on the entire inside area all by himself. Give the guy some help!

Top three eateries in Williamsburg. Tiny bit on the pricey side, but everything has that special touch, making it all worth it. Ceviche (yes it is a Japanese place) is the best I've had. Specials are frequent, and the infused sochu display is remarkable. I totally got laid after this one.

so yum, but $$$ and hyper small portions. if you are on a diet and rich it's a great place

This place has a nice atmosphere and a great owner. Really nice guy who comped us some drinks when I told him I lived in Japan for a long time. This would be a nice place to get drinks and chill over some shochu. But the food was nothing special and the place kind of floats on some gimmicks. They usually feature "sushi bombs" which are just small sushi servings pressed in mini-biscuit trays. The fish our night was not particularly fresh or tasty- even the special. Sushi bomb is a cute name and they look cute, but it's not the real deal and the prices aren't really fair considering. The shumai were obviously frozen instant types, and the overpriced tofu salad can be made at home for a fraction of the cost. I suppose a second visit would be more deserving, but I agree with the other comments regarding price and portion size. My wife, who is Japanese, and I bring this place up from time to time when we lament the lack of good Japanese food in the neighborhood....Oh, and the infused shochu thing is cute as well, but pretty gimmicky. These cocktails are overpriced and small and even Tokyo has better value for these- which are pretty standard and done without all the fanfare. Besides, the particular brands they have at Bozu are much better appreciated straight up or on the rocks. Bozu- good for drinks, but a pass for dinner.

homey gets comped drinks and then gives em a bad review...shmuck. this place is good. a little pricey, but the nice staff make up for it.

This place has the best cocktails in Williamsburg--plenty made with fresh fruit puree. The chefs take their art seriously, turning out carefully prepared, eye and palate pleasing little creations. Those complaining about the price should try and purchase like meals in New York! You'd pay at least 3 times as much!

Bozu is a gem, plain and simple.
The owner is not only warm and welcoming, he truly cares about the food and drinks he serves. The personal touch, taste, and innovation that goes into the dishes is entirely unrivaled at any of the local japanese joints, and even comparably priced manhattan eateries. And where else can you get that an a great selection of sakes at 3:30am? The back patio in the summertime is not to be missed...

I really liked your comments here. I hope you're going to update your site soon. Big is feature of White Circle: , when Table is Slot it will Make Table when Circle is Cards it will Give TV , Curious Corner Double or not to Double Chips you should be very Big

I loved this resturant. The food was amazing. As was the sake. As were the people who worked there. And desert amazing too. Odd to have chocolate stoffle at a Asain resturant but teamed with the rasberry sauce it seemed to be the perfect end to a lovely meal.

The owner of this stylish Japanese joint on the edge of Southside is reason enough to stop by. The infused vodkas are the drink specials (not in price) but you should totally try one. The food is small and tasty. There is a tuna/guacamole roll to die for and the stuff mushrooms are great too! Totally a place worth stopping by for a late snack and infused vodka goodness.

What I find very funny about the comments on this page is that some of these writers have completely missed the point. The restaurant sells Japanese TAPAS. Tapas. Having eaten tapas at many many places, both in this city, and in the countries from which they originated, I can tell you that the portions are fine. Tapas are meant to be ordered in groups. Several plates for a couple of different people to compliment your wine, sake, whatever you're drinking. My experience there was amazing. The owner, as has been stated, is what every restaurant owner should be. He is knowledgable of both his food and drink, personable, and the man designed every inch of place, for chrissake.... Our sake was absolutely gorgeous, the food was flawless and beautiful, and the atmosphere was perfect. I had such a good experience at Bozu from beginning to end that I find it surprising that anyone could find any fault. I would pay twice as much for the quality of service and meal.

party bomb is the way to go! this place is a little pricey, but well worth it if you have a few extra bucks to spend.

it was exactly as described in the other reviews - small portions at high prices - but no one mentioned the highlight of my dining experience, which was a delightful coachroach on the wall inches from my face, giving helpful suggestions to the complicated drink menu.

Did that guy really get drinks comped and then write a bad review? What a douchebag.
My experience at Bozu was delightful. The owner is lovely, the drinks were sublime and the darling little sushi bombs were delectable, as was everything we ordered.
It is a little pricey, but if you want quantity over exquisite quality, go to Wasabi.
BTW, it's effing New York. There are cockroaches everywhere. you should just be lucky that yours was so helpful.

horrible, horrible service. i wasnt too hungry and was merely craving some edamame and some miso soup. i also ordered a side of white rice. i got the soup right away but waited and waited for the extremely unfriendly, unprofessional waitress to bring me my rice and edamame. its rice and edamame! how long does it take to get those things made and served??? after waiting 20 minutes i canceled the order and just paid for the miso soup. the waitress never apologized or enquired as to what the problem was. what a fucking let down. i'll NEVER go back there again.

Awesome site. debt consolidation

I went here the other night for the first time after walking by it a million times. Overall I really liked it and the backyard patio probably contributed alot to that. Our server was flighty (which most servers in Williamsburg tend to be...) but the owner was so helpful and patient with us as we were rather indecisive about which shochu and tapas to get. Food was very good and fresh and the Shochu was delicious. Stay away from the infused ones...
On a side note I don't really get why so many people from the 'Burg keep complaining about how this place and others on Grand St. like Baci&Abbracci are overpriced or expensive...I don't think this place is expensive...I would say it is moderate. It's not a dive so why would you expect it to have dive prices?

Simply one of the best restaurants in NYC. The staff is really friendly and into food and Makoto (owner/chef) is a genius, fusing traditional Japanese with mediterannean accents. The cocktails are brilliant too: try the Shiso Mojito or Wasabi Sake/Vodka Martini: unbelievable! Go once and you'll be back again and again.

Bozu rocks! This is, hands down, the best sushi in Brooklyn. The sake selection is amazing and the owners are very knowledgeable. I always have a great experience at Bozu and if you're wondering if you should try it I would say YES! Try the cold sakes, there are so many to try and they are all amazing. Also, get the party bomb platter! You'll love it, I swear!
