Cheapo Japanese food that somehow works.
I had half a volcano burrito. It was extremely simple and I could have made it myself in 3 minutes. But tasted good, relatively filling, and cheap.
They also had super delicious Japanese milk tea in a small can. For more than $3 it's slightly steep but the cheapo food made up for it.
Food came fast. Clean place. Efficient. Spacious.
At the sight of Onigiri, I decided to make a pit stop. Onigiri places are far and too few in between, besides Yaya Tea Garden, which I personally feel is pretty overrated. They also have sushi burritos here, which I wanted to try but would have to wait for next time. I got a Lobster rice ball, it was around $4. Not bad. The rice ball was too much rice and barely any lobster. They do make all their food on premises right after you order, so maybe it would be better next time.
Meh lotta rice little fish… Ordered the sea dragon and volcano and…. Opened up the volcano and I could clearly only see the kani and what appeared to b spicy tuna…no spicy shrimp or lobster salad to be found. For $13 a burrito (ordered on seamless) whole lot of not much. Tasted great and glad rice was cooked properly but too much of it. Won't try this place again. Feel like I got ripped off. Paid $13 for rice.
Came here to try out the sushi burrito, which has apparently been trending on social media lately (??). I got the Volcano burrito, which has spicy tuna, spicy shrimp, spicy lobster, imitation crab meat, avocado, seaweed salad, and spicy mayo sauce. You would think that with so many "spicy" ingredients inside the burrito that your mouth is going to be on fire after eating it but it actually ended up being not that spicy at all. The ingredients all blended together very well and even I, who usually isn't a big fan of seafood, found the burrito to be quite delicious. The ratio of rice:ingredients also wasn't too bad so they aren't skimpy with the ingredients. I can't say the same for the Spicy tuna onigiri though because it was mostly rice with a small dab of spicy tuna inside. It was very filling though but that's not surprising since there was so much rice.
As for the place itself, it's located in the heart of the very trendy Greenwich Village. Everything was very clean and the decor looked very modern and vibrant. The workers were also very nice. One problem I have with this place is the menu. I noticed on yelp that there is an option for a cheaper smaller sized burrito but this option wasn't listed on the menu at all and I ended up automatically getting the large sized burrito. Also, the onigiri weren't on the menu either and I had to ask the cashier for them before he gave me an additional menu that had the onigiri. The prices are also pretty steep. The volcano burrito ended up being ~$12, which, while it was filling, is kind of pricy, and the onigiri was $4 which I would say is decent. Really wanted to like this place but the quality of the food doesn't match the prices at all and the menu was too misleading.
Note: You don't have to be an NYU student to get the discount. As long as you have a student ID you automatically get the student discount.
I was left pretty unimpressed by this place. While the people are friendly, the food is lacking, and ultimately food is the most important.
I got a Kobe Beef Burger, and while the burger wasn't awful, it wasn't particularly memorable. Kobe Beef has quite a reputation as one of the best types of beef money can buy, so this was a disappointing experience in my opinion.
The curly fries are almost definitely frozen ones that my mom has bought for me before. The way they stuck together, the color, and the shape all gave this away to me immediately. It was rather upsetting that I spent as much as I did on fries I could buy at the supermarket.
This place isn't particularly cheap, but I took a shot on it because the kobe beef burger was priced so reasonably. After eating it though, I question whether it was even really kobe beef, and if it was, the quality of the product they are using.
My friends also did not have a great opinion of this place, so I'm inclined to think that I'm not an isolated incident.
Maybe I'll stop by to give them another shot in the future, but not the greatest first impression.
ONIGIRI. One of my favorite snacks that also happens to turn into a meal.
This small place knows how to make them.
I have been to JP Street on multiple occasions. Sometimes I am just in the area and will run in for a snack, other times I get all my friends together to eat dinner or lunch here.
The menu of JP Street has expanded quite a lot since the first time I came here.
I love the rice balls. The choice of choosing a healthier option such as purple rice is a plus. If you have any special requests, do not be afraid to ask since all the staff there is very friendly.
I also get the Sushi Burrito here. The Sushi is pretty fresh and is folded in the perfect way to hold in all the flavor. This last time i had the Volcano Sushi. Which i got as a recommendation from the cashier. The flavor was abundant and the spicyness was not overpowering.
THE SEA DRAGON IS AMAZING. AH-MAZ-ING. I was shocked when I bit into it. I haven't even tried any other sushi burrito, but this is a keeper. I had two onigiris, the whole meal was filling(even w/o the onigiri!) Customer Service is really nice! I plan to come back again.
Panya didn't have a fried chicken rice ball, like I was craving, so I thought I'd see if JP Street had one. But when I asked the server about their rice balls he was hesitant. "What's most popular then?" The sushi burrito. I didn't quite know what a sushi burrito consisted of, but if the employees name a popular dish, it's best to order it. And I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed the sweet-spicy combo of my volcano burrito. Their sushi burritos are more akin to an overlarge hand-roll or an uncut sushi roll. It's not quite the size of a burrito, it's about 2 inches in diameter, but it's jam packed with crunchy seaweed and panko flakes, sweet sushi rice and imitation crab meat, and pleasantly accented with spicy mayo, avocado, and sesame seeds. A small isn't really filling enough for a meal, but it makes a tasty snack.
