Reviews for Maison Yaki in Brooklyn, NY
Keep in mind they do often change their menu! They no longer offer brunch - now it is strictly a lunch menu. Reservations are... recommended, especially if you plan on going on the weekends. Cocktails on tap were great. They make their own yuzu syrup. Theyalso make mocktails and other nonalcoholic drinks. We order 3 apps to share and got three sandwiches for lunch. Would recommendthe Japanese Milk Bread with yuzu butter. The chicken sando sandwich was very crispy. The Waygu burger was super rich. Thingsto keep in mind: - Not a ton of vegan options - They have an outdoor patio backyard with heating and also outdoor dining in thefront. - High chairs for the little ones are also available - Bathrooms are small and don’t have changing tables. But they dohave fancy Japanese toilets. - If you have a nut allergy, your choice of dishes will be cut in half. Read more
Unique french and Japanese fusion. We recommend ordering, 2-3 plates per person and sharing everything family style. The Duck... Rillettes with Wasabi foam steals the show early on. The scallops were our personal favorite skewer plate. Between the duck,pork belly, and beef tongue, this was a rich meal; so we absolutely insist on ordering the breakfast radishes in ume butter. Thecrisp, clean, bright and refreshing radishes do an excellent job of balancing out the fullness of the meat dishes. This cuisineis striving for greatness and its well worth return trips. Read more
Our experience started with the hostess who was not very friendly. We tried to engage and make some light convo but we’re met... with complete stiffness. There were very limited vegan options, the pickles and a salad, so I dove into some vegetarian items.The house bread was really overpriced. 4 small pieces for $10 and it did not leave an impression. The radicchio salad was quitefresh and tasty and they were able to put the goat cheese on the side. The mushroom sandwich could have been so amazing but itwas just so so. I couldn’t really feel the texture of the oyster mushrooms, just a lot of pickled veggies. The device wasquite slow, we often had to wait a long time for the server. While the interior I was nice and cute, I probably won’t becoming back. Sustainability rating: average. Single use Napkins but reusable dining ware. Read more
I. Love. Maison. Yaki. Delicious food, amazing service, and great ambience. Sit at the bar and chat with the chefs if you can,... it absolutely adds to the experience! I loved watching them make our food and talk about their upcoming specials. Super talentedfolks in that kitchen. My favorites were the Duck L’orange, Duck Rillete, Scallop skewers, and oyster mushroom skewers. Theyhave fantastic cocktails too! Definitely recommend. Read more
Always a beautiful time. Their back patio is super well heated for the middle of winter, and their servers are very nice,... attentive, and knowledgeable. Service is unbelievably fast. Incredibly interesting, well-prepared food that doesn't break thebank but is just nice enough for an Occasion. Don't sleep on the french radishes. I know it sounds weird to be recommending rawradishes but they really are one of the best dishes here. The short rib and pork belly skewers are also absolutely incredible,as well as the japanese milk bread. The only dish I would not recommend is the duck skewers - a little overspiced for mytaste. Perfect restaurant. Don't change a thing. Hope they're around forever. (photos are compiled from 2 visits) Read more
Really cute place with interesting and exquisite food. We three girls ordered 7 dishes for sharing and it was a good portion if... you are not super hungry. The oyster mushrooms, scallop skewers and escargot were our favorite. The sauce for the pork belly wasa bit hard to describe but not the best to go with pork I would say. Frog leg tempura is a nice invention but the batter wasflavourful so kind of steal the taste of the frog meat. Brussel sprouts okonomiyaki is fine, could seasoned the sprouts a bitinstead of just relying on the sauce on the top. Overall it’s definitely a place I would recommend but one other note is thedishes are a bit salty without bread and they don’t give bread. So I would recommend order a side bread to go with the dishes. Read more
A delightful take on blending Japanese and French cuisine. Beef Tongue Sando. The bread was light and crispy. The tongue was... slightly gamey, but the sauces provide the creamy tang that brings the dish together. Brussel Sprouts Okonomiyaki. My favoritedish in this review. Batter is light, the vegetables provide the crunch. Brussel Sprouts provide that smokey flavor. Sauce is onpoint. Duck a l’Orange Skewer. Great bar food. A tad salty. The citrus-y sauce blends well with the oiliness of theduck. Pork Belly Skewer. My least favorite in this review. Well cooked, just too salty. Scallops & Sauce Maltaise Skewer.Light and refreshing. Cooked well. Can’t go wrong with this one. Profiteroles. Pastry, ice cream, and matcha cream. Can’tgo wrong here. Read more
