“I cannot even begin to say how amazing this place is. They spared no expense decorating and renovating this space. The food was fantastic and is very reasonably priced. They have a huge center bar and lots of Hibachi tables and seating if you are getting Sushi. PLUS a robot brought our food! Ask for Alec! He took great care of us!“

“Nice quite place to enjoy great Company“

“Our favorite restaurant!!!“

“Only sharing my review of the food because it's a primarily a take-out restaurant! My notes are that the sushi is the best thing to order here and it gets VERY busy during lunch special rush hours so order ahead on their direct website (although slightly more inconvenient than the ordering apps). Been coming here for many years since it opened and I keep coming back.“

“Great food and very nice service. Clean and very appealing atmosphere.“

“I have been going to the Bay Shore, NY location for at least 6 months now and can't recommend it enough. I went with several of my co workers a few nights ago and DEO was awesome to have as a waiter. He was funny and super helpful.“

“Yokohama is a neighborhood Gem!!! Jen and Tony are always there to help and greet you with a smile.. The serving team are so friendly and helpful. The food is amazing whether you have hot food or sushi. The sushi menu is diverse and the sushi is is flavorful and well-balanced. The atmosphere is friendly, energetic and comfortable. My friends and family come to Yokohama all the time and we love it!! You will not be disappointed.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A True Hidden Gem
This place has become our absolute favorite sushi spot, and it's not hard to see why. Every single time we visit, the fish is incredibly fresh — you can truly taste the quality in every bite. Whether it's a classic roll or something more inventive, the freshness speaks for itself.
Rocky and Maggie make you feel like family the moment you walk in the door — that kind of warmth is rare and it makes all the difference. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, the kind of spot where you instantly relax and settle in. It's clear that the owners pour their hearts into everything — from the food to the way they treat every guest. We keep coming back, and we'll keep coming back. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Excellent food, and service. I highly recommend if you like this type of Asian cuisine. Not much for dine in, so this is mostly for take out and delivery. I’ve never seen this place not busy, so what does that tell you. Five stars all day. Try their Gyoza if you end up going. It is the best.“

“plentiful variety and you can tell the food itself is great quality! the staff are welcoming and friendly. we went during father's day and there was a tiger mascot to great everyone which was a lot of fun. had a great experience and will come back again!“

“Excellent food!! Best one I've been to in Babylon!“

“My fiance’ and I stopped here today 06/27/26 for dinner and we dined in and ordered the freshest/large sushi/sashmi roll's that was absolutely delicious. The owners/staff were very friendly and treated us like family! We definitely will be back. Thank you! Anthony D.“

I travel 15 miles to get here and every time it's been great food and amazing service. Don't know why I've waited so long to write a review but I hope they get the recognition they deserve. I look forward to coming back every time.“

“Sam and I love going here! The food is magnificent! We love the sautéed oysters appetizer and the tuna is amazing! We never had a bad experience here it is $$$ but worth it. It is definitely one of our favorite restaurants.“

“Its a good deal for what you get, but the food is not top notch, too salty, ramen milky, too much sugar in the sauces (like their trying to hide freshness), sushi is ok, hibatchi is ok, and you will get full when you leave. Service is good and fast, atmosphere is not bad. At the end lily liked it, so I cant really complain.“

“Loved it! Very friendly and welcoming staff. The food was delicious and came out quickly. Will definitely go back again! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“wonderful little inexpensive gem !! I need to remind myself to order from them more often! Delicious ! The people behind the counter are very polite and accommodating as well!“

“We ate at this Japanese restaurant in Oakdale because we had tickets for the CM Performing Arts Center and it was nearby. It was a lovely restaurant with excellent service, and the food was fine. I ordered hibachi and knew that it wouldn't be cooked in front of me, but it was very different from the hibachi I've experienced at Benihana, for example. Two friends got Bento boxes and thought they were excellent.“

“Best salmon sushi I've had in years! Large pieces of very fresh salmon. Also, the sesame chicken contains quite a lot of chicken as compared to other places where it's a lot of breading. Fried rice and fried dumplings both outstanding. Staff was very attentive. Nice atmosphere except for excessive noise from a nearby table of guests. Four adults brought three children from ages 4 to newborn, and occasionally you could hear the tablet entertaining the newborn play songs and make noises. It carried throughout the whole restaurant.“

“Tasty food. Excellent service.“

“I have been eating their food, either sit down or take out, ever since I moved out to ronkonkoma from massapequa 14 years ago. And I have to admit, i got so lucky. Finding them. Their food is fantastic, and I have been eating Japanese for 26 years, i would know by now what is good.. They are the best ive ever had. And they are great people. 👍“

“Never had a bad meal or drink! Service always on point! highly recommend.“

“Found this spot on lunch from school and it was the perfect place to eat! A cozy small restaurant with great service and fresh food. The service was quick with enough time for me to take my lunch between class. The clear soup came out hot and fresh with beautiful tasty mushrooms. We got the sushi for 2. It had great variety and perfect portion size. Yum! I was very surprised to find this spot and will be coming back! Would be a cute, calm date night spot or for a night out with a small group of friends“

“Great food, friendly staff….“

“Always Excellent food & service“

“They always do an outstanding job. The food, service and live music makes it a great evening“

“Always have such a nice experience with Little Tokyo, staff is kind and efficient! I've never had this fast of fast food in my life. Very sweet people, always come back to it :) They deal with rude customers very well and handle their business professionally despite dealing with very racist remarks from customers❤️“

“First time being at the restaurant, originally thought it was a table serve restaurant but it's actually a casual take out spot with the option to dine in.

Despite seeing a bit of mixed reviews I couldn't say I was hesitant since the photos of the food shared look genuinely worth trying and it exceeded expectations in terms of freshness, flavor, and even presentation
Ordered Sesame chicken combination platter and they do not compromise on flavor.

Each part had its defining flavor even the eggroll tasted as if it was fried in a very high quality oil setting it apart from others I've had. The sesame chicken had the best balance of sweet and savory with the pork fried rice being a standout for me.

This isn't your average yellow friend rice from your favorite hole in the wall but a delicious fried rice with some wok char, bright bean sprouts and the tastiest pops of salty pork. The pan fried dumplings had a very authentic flavor with the perfect crisp on the bottom.

What surprised me more was that this restaurant wasn't really busy, only a few people popped in for their take out order. With such a great experience, genuinely tasty flavors, I'm genuinely excited to revisit and try some more!“

“Was there on 5-10-23 for my Birthday, I will now be going anytime I want Chinese food , the atmosphere, the staff, and of course the food was all around 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“By far the Best Chinese food on Long Island!!!!!! Nassau & Suffolk County.“

“good buffet in the afternoons“

“I have been to this restaurant more time than I could count. The past year or so of experiences I would say the food quality was ok and the service always made me feel rushed.

Last night we went there for my daughters birthday and had the best experience for as long as I could remember. The service at the table was excellent. The waitress was attentive and we didn’t have to search for her for drink refills. I did feel a tad rushed when asking for food order as soon as drink order but it was ok since the kids had a long day and wanted to eat.

The highlight of our night was the chef. He was outgoing, kept everyone engaged and made everyone laugh. The food was the best we have had in the longest. The food was cooked perfectly, the meat was cut to the perfect sizes and the flavor was incredible. When we left, my wife and I both said that we had the best time and food we have ever had. My only complaint is that they no longer give you soup and salad, you have to pick between one or the other. It was nice to get both with your meal, especially for how much the food costs. Enjoy.“
