"a-un no kokyuu" 阿吽の呼吸 【a-un no kokyuu】 which literally translates to "breath of a-un" is hailed from an old Japanese idiom, which means two people communicate to each other without saying anything; having a mutual understanding of one another. Toshi and Kaku, who jointly started a restaurant way back in 2010, opened Wasan Brooklyn in 2015 in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Over the next six years, as restaurant owners, they have strongly reaffirmed the sheer joy and importance of serving the local community through their cuisine. Being partners and working together for a total of 11 years now, following the concept of "breath of a-un," they will aim to continue serving the local region through Japanese cuisines of different seasons. It will serve as a-un Brooklyn’s guiding philosophy.
“Great experience ! Food was good and service great . The food was so flavorful I had the oyster crunchy rice bowl and loved the crunch and flavor and my partner had the curry udon which was also flavorful . Food came out pretty fast the server was knowledgeable helpful and friendly. Definitely go!”
“Great experience at A-Un in Bushwick. The food was delicious and everything felt thoughtfully prepared, but the service really stood out. The staff was friendly, attentive, and clearly knew the menu well. Our server (Jorge) gave us great recommendations and was super knowledgeable about the dishes, which made it easy to try a few new things. You can tell they care about the food and about making sure guests have a great experience. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re in the neighborhood. The drinks were fantastic!”
“Visiting our daughter and son‑in‑law in Williamsburg, we decided to order takeout from a place they had enjoyed before. We chose a variety of dishes—rolls, chirashi, and an outstanding eggplant with garlic sauce. I never imagined eggplant could be prepared so deliciously. Everything was packed thoughtfully, with hot and cold items separated, and the rice bedding for the chirashi packed on its own. The sashimi and sushi were fresh and expertly prepared. Since the foundation of good sushi is the rice, A‑un absolutely nails it. Prices range from moderate to high, but the quality makes it feel like a worthwhile luxury—something we’re happy to indulge in on special occasions.”
“Their wagyu udon was so good, and a reasonable price for brunch. Loved the sweet broth that they used. Pork cutlet curry was also so cleanly cooked 👌 Would definitely come back here again to try more items!”
“I honestly hate to leave a low review like this for a place with such amazing food, but sometimes 1 inconsiderate action and bad service can ruin the entire experience. I sent my partner here to have a solo dinner because they had a bad day. She arrived and ordered her food, the place was empty but filled up shortly after she arrived, still no issues, delicious food. However right after she paid and TIPPED her server was rushing her to leave, this was very rude to do because she was just waiting for her cab. It’s very cold outside and we just didn’t appreciate that. I understand restaurants get busy and this is kind of a small space it’s just not the right way to go about it. The way she was treated as a solo diner ordering multiple items was just very rude. She wasn’t even there for more than an hour. If they would’ve just sat her at the bar or at a smaller table there would have been no need to rush, but because they couldn’t anticipate it getting crowded she got rushed out. So just keep that in mind if you decide to have a nice dinner to cheer yourself up you might get rushed out to seat a larger group. If she wasn’t alone they wouldn’t have done that. It’s was weird and rude once again.”
