Shalom Japan

Nick Duque· 6 months ago

I had been wanting to check this place out for about a year and I'm glad I finally got to try it out. The short version is I would definitely go back. I had the lox chicharron, jew egg, and matza ball ramen. While the lox chicharron was delicious, I was a little disappointed by the portion. It was 4 or 5 pieces. Having said that, I would probably still order it again. Perfectly crisp and salty. The jew egg is a must order. Perfect. Give me 1000 of them. Perfectly cooked runny egg, the sauce, the veg, the greens.. perfect. I was slightly disappointed by the matza ball ramen. I did get the dumplings add on, which alongside the noodles, was the best part. The broth was aromatic and rich. My issue was with the matza ball. This could very well be a me problem as I've only ever had store bought matza mix matza balls. I assume this was homemade because it was waaaaay more firm than what I am used to. It was overall a good bowl of ramen, but I don't think I'd order this one again. Service was decent. My server was very nice and answered my questions thoroughly and with patience but hardly checked on me during my meal. Although the dining room was filling up and the staff seemed fairly limited in numbers so I understand if they were stretched thin that night. I'll definitely go back and try the pastrami and hopefully they still have the lamb rib special

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a long time! I’m so happy I did. Everything we tried was delicious and flavorful. The drinks were great as well!

​After hearing so much hype, we finally tried Shalom Japan. The vibe is fantastic and the service is top-notch, our server was incredibly helpful with shareable recommendations. The cocktails were a hit, flavorful and light. However, the food was a bit of a mixed bag. The Jew Egg was easily the highlight of the night, featuring deep flavors and a perfectly cooked center. On the other hand, the Matzoh Ball Ramen felt more like a standard chicken noodle soup, I found myself wishing for more pronounced Asian aromatics to bridge the fusion. We finished with the cheesecake, but unfortunately, it was quite dry and we didn't end up finishing it. Overall, I’d recommend Shalom Japan for their creative small plates and excellent drinks.

Overall rating: 2 Wow okay so I’ve been wanting to try this spot after I saw a TikTok and mistakenly didn’t look at the google reviews before I booked. I was thinking maybe since we came when the restaurant opened the service would be reasonable because no one was there. It was not. The waiter rarely asked how we were doing or if needed anything or if we’re ready, you know very basic staff courtesies. My friend and I got the: - scallion pancakes: 3/5 mid - Wagyu sandwich: 3/5 not worth it - Ramen: 4/5 but nothing like show stopping The food was not worth the price or bad service. Do not recommend.

Disappointing Value for Money I visited with three friends, and unfortunately, the experience wasn’t the best. We ordered a few appetizers for the table and a main course each. The Food: The appetizers were surprisingly small and difficult to share among a group (even for just two people). While the service was perfectly fine, the flavors were just "okay״. The Value: This was the most disappointing part. The "pay for everything" approach felt excessive; they literally charge extra for every single addition, including $2 for spicy sauce/chili. When you’re already paying full price for a meal, being charged for basic condiments feels unreasonable.
