Kondo has by far the best sushi I've had in Astoria. I've visited a couple of times and ordered the Sushi Regular special on each occasion. The sushi is incredibly fresh, with great flavors throughout. The staff are also very friendly and welcoming, making the overall experience even better. Kondo has quickly become my go-to spot for sushi in Astoria.
After sightseeing all around Astoria, I found this Japanese restaurant using Google Maps.
I was after the lunch hour so only a couple of people were there.
I decided to try the lunch special. I got tonkatsu, my favorite.
It came with a nice bowl of hot soup. As you can see from the picture, it was a full portion of food. The tonkatsu was nicely cooked and all delicious.
The hostess was exceptionally nice and friendly.
A very nice dining experience.

Wow! Words cannot describe how fantastic the omakase was. We have come here for years and finally decided to try the omakase for my birthday celebration. It was outstanding!

Kondo serves high-quality seafood and sushi, featuring standout dishes like pork belly, sea urchin, and Spanish Mackerel. This long-time neighborhood staple is known for its endearing and professional staff, providing a great dining experience. The restaurant has a great rotating menu that includes both classics and more rarely seen items, with raw and cooked items. Although the atmosphere can be quiet at times, it feels low-key and reminiscent of nineties New York restaurants. The sushi is fresh and delicious, with a highlight being the fish preparation at the counter. Portions trend smaller, allowing guests to try different things, making it best to visit with others to enjoy a range of options. With quick and polite service, Kondo is a gem in Astoria for those seeking good sushi without breaking the bank. Be sure to arrive early to secure a table, and don't hesitate to order extra fish and less rice for the best experience. Chef Kondo and his team are very hospitable. The chef's skills and freshness of the ingredients shine through. Wonderful assortment of sakes to choose from and the pours are generous. Recommended dishes include the omakase, marinated tuna, ebi, toro, uni, tonkatsu, and a lunch special. It is recommended to sit at the chef’s counter to see the action up close.
