“We absolutely adore the food at Eastern Sushi. Ever since moving to this area two years ago - Eastern Sushi has been a go to for us. The staff is super nice and the price is great for the quality of food you get. We have gotten food from Eastern Sushi with family from out of town and when they visited again - they asked if we could get food from Eastern Sushi again. The food is that good!“

“We were in the neighborhood and went into Oishii Sushi at random, and very glad we did. The sushi was fresh and beautifully presented. Their buy 2 get 1 free special rolls made this place a great value. Some of the names for the special rolls were fun and creative. The staff is attentive and friendly. It was an absolutely fantastic experience. It is truly a hidden gem. We will definitely visit again soon.“

“A quaint little Sushi and hibachi restaurant!
Sashimi Deluxe dinner was fresh, sizes proportional and priced for value. Hibachi filet minion and seafood dinner also good value for price. Friendly service and a BYOB so what’s not to like! Go here!!!!!!“

“I had heard so many good things about Nikko's so I stopped by for a take out meal the other day. From the time I walked through the door, I had a great experience. The decor is really nice, the restaurant clean and the people working there are even nicer and very helpful. I ordered the seafood hibachi entree. The smell was so good I couldn't wait to get home to eat it. I wasn't disappointed. The meal was delicious, plentiful and made with FRESH ingredients“

“So we went there for my son’s birthday which is today 10/25. Guzman was the chef. He was very attentive to the kids allergies. He cooked our food to perfection and entertained the guests very well. Jackie was our waitress she was pretty cool too. She bought the food out nice and hot and kept the drinks coming. Must say my son was super impressed and happy. Thank you for making my sons day a special one.“

“Excellent restaurant. My wife and I love their food. Extremely high quality food at great pricing. Every meal we’ve ordered is delicious.“

“Food is great,never disappoints. Nice view. BYO“

“We have been ordering take-out from Rainbow for two years. The sushi is consistently fresh, service is excellent and delivery is quick. Today we ordered steak hibachi for the first time; it was delicious. Even our son who is a picky eater cleaned his plate!“

“Sakura Sushi has to be one of the absolute BEST sushi spots in all of NJ! Firstly, they have mostly reasonable prices for today's world and the location. Also, the food. All of the food is absolutely AMAZING! There is one item I really recommend, that is the sushi sandwiches! They taste like heaven! I think all the food is pretty awesome though. While they can get pretty full due to it being quite small, they never have bad service! They do not take reservations, and I actually admire that since there’s commonly a chance to get a spot! Please, if you get a chance, go here!

Kid-friendliness: When I go here I normally bring a 4 year old, they are always so kind and nice about it! He loves it there!“

“Top-notch sushi experience at this restaurant. Infact, I would even say its the best I’ve ever had. Steven, the owner, is really friendly and a great host. My wife and I dine here weekly without fail. The special rolls are a must-try, guaranteed to impress. And don't miss out on the chicken fried rice, an absolute game-changer!“

“This is my favorite sushi restaurant on Staten Island and i come here almost every Friday with my family. It is moderately priced, fish is of high quality and fresh, cuisine is inventive, staff is super-friendly. They have interesting a la carte sushi options and change their specials from time to time.“

“Amazing, family-run business that never compromises on quality! Even as Omakase has grown, their sushi is always made with the freshest ingredients. I can’t wait to see how they expand upon their catering business!“

“I had the honor privilege and luck of being the very first customer to be served at Kanpachi Sushi during their grand opening on 4/29/2022. The very first think I noticed was how friendly and inviting the staff is, they make you feel welcome the second that you step into their establishment. The second thing I noticed was the how the new renovation which makes you want to come in and have a seat at a table or sit at the sushi bar to watch the sushi master construct your order before your eyes. I am impressed with the addition of this new business to Amboy Ave. The food is fresh, top-quality ingredients prepared by a world class chief and sushi master. I had lunch there yesterday and today. Oh, and did I mention that Kanpachi is a BYOB establishment? Sushi steak and Hibachi lovers, do yourself a favor and get over there. I am making this my go to spot for lunch or dinner, I give Kanpachi 5 stars. Thank you for picking Amboy Ave to open your sushi house.“

“Sono has always been our go to for delicious fresh sushi. Tonight there was a delay with our pick up....it's lent. We get it - they even gave us 2 free sodas to apologize. Then 2 hours later they send us an apology text. Honesty and apologetic. Now that's a classy move!“

“First time going here and it was great our Hibachi grill guy was fun. As for food , salad and dressing tased fresh and dressing was delicious , miso soup was very good , fried rice and vegetables extremely tasty really enjoyed them and we enjoyed our steak. Of course icing on cake is it’s a byob!

Kid-friendliness: They had a kids menu and our kids enjoyed it all.“

“I don't understand how they have the ratings they do. Their sushi and milk teas are amazing!!! The workers are quiet and to themselves, but they're not rude. They do an excellent job at providing what you need. And they're fast. I come here a few times a month. Def worth coming here!!“

“This place is truly a hidden gem on Staten Island! I visited on my birthday, and the staff made it special with a handwritten card at my seat. The food was incredible, with 70% of ingredients imported directly from Japan. The entire team was welcoming and friendly, and the service was outstanding. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with great food and atmosphere.“

“My family and I order take out from here all the time and let me tell you, they’re consistent. The food is always delicious and fresh, and the portions for the price are unmatched. Our favorite thing to get is the poke bowl combo with a sushi roll. This place just became our go to dinner spot when we’re hungry and too lazy to cook. Definitely recommend!“

“This place deserves more love. The dumplings were amazing and juicy. It’s obviously not going to the best Chinese you’ve ever had but it’s really good for a local spot in Colts Neck. Most of these negative reviews are for their customer service which Asians don’t really care as much about (coming from an Asian). If the rating of an Asian restaurant is between 2.8- 4 stars, the place is yummy. Anything over 4.7 stars = unauthentic.“

“Not only is the sushi incredible and fresh, the customer service was amazing. Originally ordered through door dash and was provided the wrong order. Called the store as they were closing and was told they would make the order again and get it to us after they close! Don’t order your sushi from anywhere but Yaho!!“

“Food is good. We ordered 2 different sushi and chicken katsu. One of the sushi was served raw (as most sushi are) and I can't eat them cause I am BF-ing my baby. We told the staff and they cooked them for us. Good food and descent price. The atmosphere is good and quiet for a date night with my husband.“

“Fantastic“

“Best sushi around! Fresh and the service is quick!“

“we go here often. the owners, Joyce and Brian are the nicest and always welcome us..the staff is wonderful. they know my son, and when he comes in, they bring him his drink and order without even asking..i highly recommend.“

“The main waitress was very kind and made some good food recommendations, alongside providing great overall service. The food was very good, and introduced me and my family to new and interesting variations compared to what we where you used too. This is a great comfy restaurant for a good meal.“

“In town for an event, 8 of us went out for dinner. Everything was so delicious, the 3 of us still in town the next day went back the next night for round two.I personally enjoyed the Red Curry Chicken and Beef Pad Thai. Especially of note is their General Tso's Chicken which was ordered both nights, as it is mostly chicken, not cheap breading like a lot of other places. The Shrimp Shumi were also reordered on day two. The prices were completely reasonable as well. I would 100% return to this restaurant for round three.

Parking: Parking was easy as not a lot of people were there when we were, however I could see it getting crowded when busy.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is an outdoor ramp if needed.“

“Our family has been a loyal customer of Konbu for 15 years. If you want the best sushi in the area Konbu is the restaurant by far. We have had sushi in Japan, Hawaii, NYC and this restaurant is just as good, if not, better. This is a true testimony!!! The owners are great people and the servers are wonderful. We love going to Konbu and you will as well.“

“The food is grand made fresh, the service is good as they are professional and make sure what you order is the right thing and how they respond on the phone is professional, the atmosphere is calm as the fish move around in the tank and watch you as they act curious

Vegetarian options: They can do just vegetables on the side if you ask if that’s possible

Kid-friendliness: The kids can watch the fish as they wait for their order“

“Had no idea there is some sort of crazy deal on sushi on thursday nights. I ordered takeout and was shocked at the price. Discounted sushi scares me but this one was good. I stuck to the basic rolls and they were all good. The salmon and tuna were both fresh. Can’t beat it at that price too. I will be back.“

“Lara put on a great show and the food was very tasty for my moms birthday. Thank you Lara.“

“Good times in and out quick“
