Sama Street, Brooklyn NY

It was an amazing experience here. Loved the food. Didn’t drink any cocktails this time but they all look amazing

This place has a great selection of drinks. The food is very good as well. The place has a low light, with very friendly staff. It's a great spot for drinks with your date or friends.

Amazing spot. Love the 7 long years, beef koi, and calamari. Definitely the best I've had in the city!

I’ve been a patron of this business for a while now, and in fact, this spot is my favorite in the neighborhood. I go here all of the time and that’s why I decided to spend my birthday here. If I’m paying a flat fee of $75 per person just to sit at a table for two hours, I expect the service to be up to standards. When I invite my friends to my favorite neighborhood bar as guests, I expect them to be treated well and hope that they can see what I enjoy so much about going to this bar.

This was not the case on December 22nd. Our original server, who I’m not sure how to identify outside of her poor attitude, seemingly went out of her way to make our table uncomfortable. We were hardly greeted and the server genuinely seemed annoyed at any questions or comments we made. It got to a point to where the last person who showed up in my party was immediately able to sense the negative tension coming from her upon arriving, and nobody knew why. Eventually, the amazing server who saved the night, Ari, took over serving our table at least when it came to drinks. HER service was an example of what I was expecting to receive and I remain eternally grateful for the effort she put in that the previous server didn’t seem to want to give. She’s the only one saving this from being a 1-star review, if that wasn’t clear.

I’m not sure if I’ll be able to return this spot, which is deeply disheartening and not the experience I wanted to have on my birthday. What’s more disheartening is that store staff seemed to be aware of this and did nothing aside from sending Ari over to help. We paid a $525 flat fee to receive poor service and have a completely different server then spill water all over one of my friend’s pants on the coldest day of the month, just to receive no kind of acknowledgment through a free drink, appetizer, or even just an apology at the end of the night.

The food and drinks here are still bomb, but the poor service completely stains the experience.

Now I see why it’s a 5/5 — amazing drinks with great shareable bite options. Cozy and candle lit. Friendly staff that can guide you down any drink. Drinks come in cool displays and arrangements. Worth trying then checking out Franklin street after!

Really nice comfy bar with great Asian cocktails and small bites - especially love the Tiger’s Milk.

The cocktails are exquisit, and delicious. The food options are great to share aming friends. Would recommend time and time again.

Extremely underrated and surprising cocktail. We parked in the front of the bar to walk across the street for dinner. After dinner, we notice that this bar have more interesting drink cocktail and they do not disappoint.

Since then, I have already been back twice. The flavor profile to combining ingredient that you don’t usually see was eye opening. I must say out of all the cocktail I have tried so far, I only dislike the sambee. Just personal preference. However I love the 7 long year and major Tom. Also, jacket required is very good if you like a twist on old fashion.

Come give this a try!

Best Japanese cocktail bar in Brooklyn! Very unique and delicious cocktails, amazing bartenders (kudos to David) and yummy food. Definitely recommending this one. Sambie is my favorite cocktail - make sure you try it!

Really fun place. My bartender Caleb was great. Interesting and balanced drinks with a lot of lightly savory tones, which I like. Fried rice with an egg was awesome.

Favorite bar in Greenpoint, possibly all of NYC. Having tried almost the full menu, you won't be disappointed. Favorites are the Major Tom and Long Kiss Goodnight

STILL - One of my absolute favorite cocktail bars. Anyone visiting New York? I take them here. I always get the Seven Long Years cocktail, but only because that's my favorite and I crave it sometimes. But all other drinks are delicious. Even their food is phenomenal. Never disappointed when I visit!

First of all, let me mention this place offers some of the best service in the area. Their drinks are quite unique and precisely made to satisfy. The food is authentic and delicious. Thank you to our server Ari, she was amazing and offered great suggestions and was very patient and professional, also friendly to my party of three. We will be back very soon, if you doubt anything I’ve said here, you seriously need to try it for yourself.

A wonderful experience all around. Cocktails were perfectly balanced and delicious, can’t wait to stop by and try other options on the menu. Gabriel was delightful, he was warm and engaged and made great recommendations. Definitely a must try in the neighborhood!

I love the drinks here; it’s a bit of a twist on traditional cocktails + Asian ingredients. I love that they make many of the ingredients in-house. The service was phenomenal. Thank you Gabriel!

Great place for unique cocktails. Went there as we waited our reservation time at Wenwen, highly recommended. Would love to come back and try the food too.
