Part of Okiboru Group
Justin’s Salt Bread is created by the same team behind Okiboru, the award-winning Japanese restaurant group recognized across New York City for its craftsmanship, precision, and dedication to comfort food done exceptionally well. Our new café brings that same philosophy into a minimalist space centered on one simple, perfect item: handcrafted salt bread — paired with high-quality coffee, premium matcha, and a calm, welcoming atmosphere.
Our restaurant group has earned citywide and national recognition from some of the most respected names in food culture. Okiboru was featured in The New York Times restaurant review, “At Okiboru, Soupless Ramen in a Stressless Setting.” We were honored to be included in The New York Times’ 100 Best Restaurants in New York City, 2025, as well as The New York Times' Top Dishes in NYC, 2023.
We’ve been celebrated in Yelp’s Top 50 Places to Eat in Manhattan, and consistently highlighted by The Infatuation — recognized as the #1 ramen in NYC in The Best Ramen Spots in NYC, included in The Best Ramen in America, featured in The Best Japanese Restaurants in NYC, and named on The Hit List: New NYC Restaurants To Try Right Now.
The New Yorker praised our “hyper-telegenic noodles,” while our YouTube collaboration with Mike Chen ("#1 BEST Japanese Ramen in The Country!") introduced our work to a global audience.
We’ve also been spotlighted in Time Out New York for our New York Times recognition, and featured in Eater NY for the opening of Okiboru House of Udon, showcasing our signature Himokawa udon.
At Justin’s Salt Bread, we carry forward everything that defines our restaurants: attention to detail, warmth, and an obsession with doing the simple things exceptionally well. Whether it’s a perfectly pulled espresso, a smooth ceremonial-grade matcha, or our signature salt bread served warm, our aim is to create a space that feels comforting, calm, and quietly special.
