Japanese for Clinton Hill
There’s some turnover underway at 884 Fulton Street in Clinton Hill. The hair place that’s been a longtime presence (ten years, right?) at the corner of Waverly Avenue is gone and, according to a tipster, a hibachi & sushi restaurant is in the works. Should be a nice addition to this stretch. GMAP

DIBS, I think BHO (and me for a while) was confused because Yamato and Oshima are both on 7th Avenue, not 5th…
When you said walk down Vanderbilt to 5th, there was a whole neighborhood in between you somehow skipped over. 🙂
DIBS, people don’t realized a genuine Japanese sushi chef cost 85k/yr so if one doesnt see expensive prices on menu, good odds the chef is not the genuine deal
m4l, Yamato on Fifth is owned by japanese but the sushi chefs are Fukinese. The sushi is very good. the same is true of Oshima a few blocks down but I don’t think it’s Japanese-owned.
Apparently the Fukinese make good sushi chefs. And we get better service after Xing talks to them in Fukinese.
DIBS, I wouldn’t hold your hopes too high. It’s more probable that a Chinaman will be running it. That Thai place you asked me is probably the one I ordered the delivery and judging from that experience, it was good (better than the ones on myrtle)
What’s your point, BHO????????
“i get off the train right here to walk over Vanderbilt to the places on fifth Ave”
???

This is really good news. A good Japanese restaurant would be welcome, emphasis on good! With the exception of Kush, which serves terrific French-African dishes, there isn’t a single good restaurant on Fulton east of Vanderbilt in my opinion. It’s generally exciting to see the renovation and reuse of a lot of long vacant spaces on Fulton
SO EXCITING!! Living 2 blocks away, I am THRILLED with the promise of a new place to eat, and pray they’ll have some ramen in the mix too.
I guess this is the place to insert the old joke about cunnilingus?
