50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Baldwin

“I get the shrimp tempura 3 roll combo almost every week. What makes this place different from others is their CONSISTENCY! Every week I come it’s the same great tasting quality. Most spots you go to will be good one week and horrible the next . That’s not the case here . Would upload a picture but I already demolished it before I got a chance lol“

“I work across the street and over the past year this family owned restaurant has become my go to for lunch.
The lunch menu prices are more than fair and the food is delicious and the healthy, especially for this area.

I always recommend my coworkers, freelancers on a shop day, and even clients to try out Yoho. Now they're also regulars!
They even share a free parking lot behind their store which is very convenient.“

“Best General Tso chicken and vegetable fried rice I have had in a long time. The wait is long but the food tasted very fresh which explains that. Not sure of the rest of the menu but what I ordered was delicious.Also it seems like what they lack in the look of the place, they make up for in the taste of the food.“

“FANTASTIC! I have been to ALOT of ramen spots in Long Island and this is among the top 5% best ramen. I sat inside for lunch. Incredibly rich broth. Chashu that does not taste old or too much fat - it was amazing. They did not skip out on toppings. I really recommend this spot :)“

“I rarely leave reviews at a restaurant and this is my first 5 star. It has been a long long time I was this pleased about sushi. I’m from Florida and sushi there is much more expensive and less fresh. This place is awesome! Thanks Tiger“

“Ocean Code Handroll Bar delivers an exceptional sushi experience with fresh ingredients and beautifully crafted handrolls. The nori is crisp, the rice is perfectly seasoned, and the fish tastes incredibly fresh. The modern, welcoming atmosphere and attentive service make it a great spot for both casual dining and special occasions. Highly recommended for sushi lovers.“

“Best sushi in Long Island“

“delicious and excellent ramen will be back“

“fresh and delicious! great customer service!“

“Felice di esserci stata é assaggiato le loro delicie. Personale gentilissimo“

“Awesome sushi. Seafood soups are great.“

“I'd recommend this place ... sort of. We chose to sit on the dining side since it was only two of us and didn't want the "show". The service was friendly and good but not overly attentive. Our drinks were very good and a fair price (we had the Oceanside Zombie but without the Sprite added). We both ordered the hibachi surf and turf (lobster and filet mignon) which came with a house salad and clear soup, both of which we really enjoyed. The filet was tasty but the pieces were cut very unevenly so some pieces were medium rare and others were close to well done. The lobster tail was very small and too salty. I would not order it again. I was completely disappointed that the veggies were drowning in teriyaki sauce. There was no indication on the menu that they are served in sauce. I typically love hibachi vegetables but I hate teriyaki sauce! They reminded me more of Chinese takeout vegetables than Japanese hibachi. The fried rice was good but not the best. It came with lots of peas and I hate peas. Another disappointment but not a surprise was they don't offer hibachi mustard sauce. Like so many other places these days they offer yum yum sauce instead which we refused because, yuck yuck. They offered us some ice cream on the house (I think because the server knew I was very disappointed about the teriyaki sauce). It came to the table in little plastic cafeteria style cups with the pull back paper top. LOL. I'm glad it did though because the top listed the ingredients and let's just say, we immediately sent the ice cream back. All in all, not the greatest hibachi experience but also not the worst. I would maybe go back for drinks and try some other menu items ... and hold the teriyaki sauce!“

“Such a gem in the Long Beach West End!
Delicious sushi, amazing ramen, and the nicest local owners.
A must-visit spot for anyone in the neighborhood!

Love supporting this local spot in the West End
great food, great vibes, and always consistent quality.“

“This spot is a neighborhood GEM. I hope the people living here know this. Best Sushi and sashimi for miles around. Solid everytime. The fish is kept well and served well. The whole family works here and they are so nice and friendly. The dad who is the sushi chef has one of the fastest hands around. He just cranks the orders out like butter. The store has about 6 tables but they are never packed. But while I dine in the takeout orders are endless. This man can handle it all and still can chat with you.I wish I lived nearby.... Lucky you, Mineola...“

“It is basically like Panda. The sushi was very good
The winner was the chicken with the soy sauce they make it is fabulous! We did order big fruit drinks #6 yes that is true. they were not bad. .the green hot tea was good too.“

“Great service. Ken is the man on the grill??????????…. Five star service“

“The best sushi you will ever have. The rest of the food is just as good. Friendly helpful staff. This is my family’s favorite spot.“

“Mandy, Tina and Yoyo make my drink the best out of all the places I've had drinks at. The service and food are toptch notch. Love the fact that they know what I am drinking and get it to me as soon as I sit down. We eat n drink here almost every week while doing laundry next door. Haven't been disappointed yet.“

“Just ate here for the first time last night - a friend highly recommended it. The food was amazing - we had two poke bowls, chicken teriyaki, vegetable fried rice, shumai, Chicken negimaki - everything delicious. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Beautiful venue and the food is awesome!!“

“Best hibachi ever! The food quality is amazing and the service is why we stay. Way cheaper than other spots I’ve been to and the wine pours are great. Their yum yum sauce is delicious, sushi rolls are fat, I love coming here. The chefs are also hilarious, my kids love it here“

“Excellent food and service.“

“Has become my favorite local place to eat. Whether with family friends or by myself. They are so friendly and accommodating. A must try!“

“I enjoyed the ramen very much

You walk up and order your meal, and I recieved it very quickly

As an anime fan, I enjoyed the atmosphere very much, ramen is a common reoccurring meal in the anime Naruto, which is prominently used for decoration

They also have the largest portion of pork chashu I have ever had and It was delicious and chared to perfection“

“I ordered take out party platters over the phone for the workplace this past Thursday and my co-workers and I couldn't have been more pleased. The initial ordering process was smooth. Pickup was on time at 12pm even though they only open at 1130am. And the sushi, as always, was fresh and delicious. Each party platter could easily feed 4-5 people and are reasonably priced. Everyone wants to order from here again in the future (even with work being in Westbury).“

“Best sushi on the south shore.“

“Steven and his staff are the best! Food is fresh, well presented and delicious! Very attentive service! Thank you for taking my challenge and crushing it. I walked in and said feed me with no holding back. I did not even look at a menu And they knocked it out of the park! Thank you again!!! Until next time!🙏 A+++++++++++++“

“Excellent food, service was outstanding and great atmosphere. Have not been here for awhile will definitely being going back regularly.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is by far my favorite restaurant on Long Island. We eat here at least once a week. The food is consistently fresh. Staff is wonderful and friendly. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Omg this place makes great food. Get the hamburger. I was so impressed with the quality, presentation and flavor. This is one special spot.“

“two days ago was the first time in this excellent restaurant. But It is surely not the last time. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the efficient service, with the high quality meal and wine and with the honest cost. We will no doubt visit there again.“

“Food is awesome and tastefully delicious 😘😋😋Staff are so friendly and cordial 😊🥢🥢“

“We came in on a Sunday about 8:40, well before the listed 9:30 closing time, and were warned as we came in that they actually close at 9:20. It seemed odd that it would be an issue with plenty of time to order; but apparently unlike most restaurants the closing time is a matter of when they expect you to actually leave.

Still, with seemingly enough time, we ordered, and the appetizer - soft shell crab - came quickly. Unfortunately, though it was not one of the dishes listed as “spicy”, it came with spicy mayo on top. I told the server that I can’t eat spicy food, would not have ordered it if I had known, and asked her to take it back. She gave me an argument, saying I should have told her I can’t eat spicy food. I pointed out that since they list some dishes specifically as spicy, one would assume - as in most other restaurants - that the rest are not. She reluctantly took it back, and informed us the Angel Roll we had ordered, also not labeled spicy, came with spicy mayo on top as well, so we also asked for that to be redone.

This pushed things closer to closing time, and rushed our meal a bit. But I have to say that the food was wonderful: The crab crisp outside, moist inside; the sushi fresh, and the pineapple shrimp fried rice delicious.

So despite the unfortunate attitude we encountered, this restaurant is well worth the trip for the excellent food. Just keep in mind that the closing time is not what’s listed on the website. And that it’s best, whatever the menu says, to ask details before ordering.“

“My goodness, we recently moved into the neighborhood and we have tried a few sushi joints in the past couple of months. We have tried Mr. J's several time and I must say, it's probably the best sushi in the area. The quality of the ingredients is very good, extremely fresh, they use very little rice so you can actually taste the ingredients, and they roll the sushi really tightly so that it doesn't fall apart if you breathe a little too close.

The owners are extremely friendly, the restaurant clearly focuses on the quality of their takeout since they don't have any tables, which is great because they can focus on cranking out bags and bags of orders. The more you order, they give you free rolls which is really nice. Even my kid, who is a little picky, crushes his spicy kani rolls, not a single grain of rice left, which makes me really happy. Nothing fancy, but they consistently serve great quality food and service with a friendly smile. Can't ask for anything more.

I am a little curious about the name, who's Mr. J? J-San would have made more sense but since they make good food, I'll respectfully call them whatever they want me to.“

“Delicious and fresh food. Entire family enjoyed!“

“This is the second time my company dined in for a team dinner and we had the best experience on both occasions. Food always comes out quick and the service is super kind. Shout out to Maggy for attending our team with such kindness and care! Would definitely have more team dinners at DD!“

“Food is fresh and presented beautifully. A bit on the expensive side but the quality of the fish is superb. I recommend salmon avocado salad and salmon carpaccio, especially the latter.“

“quality sushi for what seems like a 100 years. Amazing service and one of the most welcoming environments in long beach“

“This is one of the greatest Asian cuisine restaurants I have ever been to, I have been consistently purchasing the crab Rangoon for the last 2 years and I quite enjoy it every single time I come. The California rolls are also a second favorite of mine. There is always adequate seating with nice booths and even hand sanitizer at every table, I love the selection of beverages from Japanese sodas to the fountain drinks and everything also has the correct sauce (yum yum sauce, soy sauce is my usual selection). The service however is USUALLY excellent and fast, I always get what I ask for when I ask for it, HOWEVER there has been one individual working the counter who has been giving me issues for the last 5-6 months. There used to be an older Asian women at the counter who was excellent however this younger woman has been occupying the counter and she is insufferable sometimes. One time I went here and she ignored me multiple times trying to order, gave me the wrong receipt, has repeatedly to this day given me issues about certain items and constantly misses some, I always need to ask for my drink to be brought with the food, she gives me my crab Rangoon without sauce sometimes and she’ll even forgot the chopsticks for the sushi?! I miss the older Asian woman but am rejoiced whenever there is the male Asian working the counter, he is also great and is very efficient in what he does, I will continue coming here for as long as I do but I have to review this place now due to my discontent with the younger Asian worker.“

“Had no idea what we were missing. It's so important to patronize local businesses. We received a welcoming greeting when we entered. Our server was nice. She checked in periodically and ensured our table had everything we needed.

Comfortable setting. Decor fitting and on theme.

We ordered several sushi rolls. Hard to choose a favorite. We also had the Gyoza and the fried chicken wings. Everything was freshly made and delicious.

I'm sure we'll return as my son seemed to really enjoy the food.“

“Food is always fresh, innovative and delicious. cons service: you feel like you are on a 1/2 hour lunch “rush” no matter day or evening. While enjoying your appetizer and warm sake, the wait staff piles down your entree …. I’ve learned to order my entree after I’ve completely finished my app. going for years, wait staff no personable skills though very polite. Decor cosmopolitan, they spent a lot of money on the chairs but now the faux leather vinyl is sagging, peeling and it’s hard to find a comfortable seat. I overall love and support this hidden diamond in the rough Asian restaurant“
