Nem’s is a gem. First, the menu is uniquely cultured fusing Japanese savory subtleties with Scandinavian simplicity. Interesting and innovative food, decor and style. Superb tech for ordering with a great rewards program. Ordering in advance is so easy and always on point. The staff is wonderful with the Marvelous Ms Nem, her impeccable style and her stunning smile lighting up the room. Nem’s smoothies are my favorite. Aura blue. This place needs to be in your rotation.

Came here with my sister for lunch and had a wonderful time. The cafe is so cute and the menu is quite extensive (there’s just so many options, you’ll have to come back!). Our waitress was the sweetest and answered any questions/concerns that we had. I got the hamachi don and my sister got the katsu. Both were delicious and the portions are filling! I will definitely come back.

I visited Nem’s bistro for my birthday because I wanted one of the beautiful smoothies! They have a special birthday smoothie that was so delicious and beautifully decorated. I also got the japandi egg sando and my friends and I shared the matcha mochi waffle. Both were soooo good! The texture of the waffle was enjoyable and the matcha whipped cream was so delicious. My friends got two of the donburi bowls and loved them. The owner Nem came to take our order and she was very kind and welcoming. They were busy so the service was a bit on the slower side, but we were busy talking so we didn’t mind too much. I would love to come back and try more food and smoothies! Definitely recommend. Thank you, Nem! :)

Me and my wife had Nem's breakfast + Salmon ikura don? and an order of karaage with peach beverage (forgot the name) The beverage was so fresh, i immediately wanted more. The food we ordered were so delicious. Will visit again once the summer is over.

Such an amazing new gem in the neighborhood! Imported matcha from Japan!! So authentic and great service. Still a new place so they tend to get super busy but recommend getting there before the crowds hit around 7pm. Such great, fresh food options. You can taste the difference here. They really put TLC onto everything they offer! The cocktails are also excellent and the presentation is beautiful!! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food, service and the atmosphere were great! Select ceremonial matcha blew my mind. Chicken Katsu Sando and smorgasbord were tasty and worth coming back for. The egg salad sandwich was packed with surprising and exciting flavors. I will be happy to come back to try more. A perfect addition to the neighborhood!

We discovered Nem’s Japandi Bistro during one of our strolls through Williamsburg and came back for brunch — such a lovely find. The aromatic coffee and refreshing ichigo juice were the perfect start. We shared the gravlax smørrebrød (added avocado +$7) and the miso-buttered scrambled eggs. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The toasted sourdough with miso butter was especially delicious — savory, rich, and beautifully balanced. $$$ for value 👍👍👍for vibe 😋😋😋😋 for food

very small space on the first floor. maybe there’s more seating on the upper floor. service was amazing but thought the food was a little overhyped. i enjoyed the tokyo carbonara but it was quite heavy. chicken katsu and salmon bowl was good for the price but nothing memorable.

Compact Japanese eatery turning out some authentic Japanese cuisine and some innovative dishes as well. We stopped in for a unplanned lunch and we had seen somebody post about the udon carbonara so we decided to try that. As expected, it was rich and delicious. We started with the agedashi tofu, which was expertly prepared, delicately fried in a tasty Japanese sauce with grated radish. The place is pretty tight indoors, but we found two spots at the narrow counter facing outside and it was fine. I would say the prices are a little bit on the high side, they may want to take a look at that. Otherwise… Recommended!

It’s a cute little window with smoothies, bento box, sushi, sandos. I got the egg Sando, it didn’t taste like 7-eleven in Japan but still satisfied my craving. I like that the bread was fried. For smoothie tried the Buddha detox with passion fruit puree, mango, banana lime and honey which was refreshing.

The food is tasty but portions are incredibly small for the price point. The entrees are pretty much appetizer portions. There are much better tasting restaurants with proper portions in the neighborhood at the same price point. We came for the udon soup. While it tasted good, the menu said it came with mixed vegetables and it did not. There was also hardly any broth. We also tried one of their prices Erewhon-style smoothies. The photos at least advertise them as Erewhon-style- multilayered with lots of goodies. However they arrive looking like any $8 smoothie. I would come back again only when they resolve the discrepancy between food portions and quality to price.

I like the atmosphere and the food, but service should really improve. You can’t give two people who go for a brunch, their food 30+ minutes apart.Whatever kitchen it comes from, whatever the reason is. Coordinate it before. Your kitchen issues shouldn’t become ours. We simply wanted to eat out but got bummer by the service. Also, when asked for the check the server was really really chaotic, and helped the lady (who asked for it after us)first. Last but not least! When I didn’t tip him enough he bluntly asked was there something wrong? Like yes!! Do you want extensive feedback? Here you go. Crazy to be that bold.. and even get mad at us for not tipping after receiving bad service.

Not recommended. Absolutely not worth the price. We paid like $70 for the breakfast with is not good. I had egg benedict and slices of bread are too small and salmon is not fresh. Bathrooms are ugh. Absolutely do not recommend
