“It was a wonderful experience , considering it is my first time. We had to wait a few minutes to get our table for 4 but that’s okay! The employees were super nice and went out of their way to pull and extra table for us. I loved the authentic atmosphere. The lighting, decor, and the overall feeling of the restaurant was great! And amazing food. My family loved what we ordered and the matcha cheesecake for dessert was so good! Compliments to the chef! I could definitely see myself coming back here again, whether alone or with family or friends. Well done, Nippon Cha!“

“Fantastic speakeasy sushi joint. Very small, no more than an handful of people may join the omasake style bar where 3 talented (and cool) chefs serve you the best crafted sushi you can get. Definitely going back soon.“

“Delicious fresh food and amazing drinks! Celebrated my friend’s bday there and we had a 12 course menu! Great atmosphere and the DJ was a great touch! Had a great time at Kaizen.“

“I highly recommend! The design and food is awesome.“

“This is some of the best sushi I have ever had. Super fresh ingredients and the sushi so good I didn’t require dipping sauce. I highly recommend.“

“I absolutely love this place! The food is fenomenal! Every time I come I order a different dish and they never disappoint. The owner is very friendly, the atmosphere is nice to have a date or come eat with friends and family. I'm bringing all my friends here 100% recommend.“

“I dare you to find me a better sushi place than Otoro. I highly recommend the place. The quality of the food, service and ambiance is unmatched!

I personally recommend the edamame, the Yellowtail roll, and the King Salmon nigiri!

I'll be back here for more. I am here a few times a month“

“**5-Star Chinese BBQ Experience!**

The lamb skewers here are incredible—juicy, smoky, and packed with cumin-chili flavor! I also loved the crispy grilled squid and garlic eggplant, which paired perfectly with an ice-cold beer. The service was fast and friendly, and the lively atmosphere made it a perfect spot for a fun group dinner. **Definitely coming back!**“

“best poke Bowl I've ever had“

“Calamari is excellent! They have many sushi variations!! All made professionally! The hot saki is always satisfying!!“

“great omakase good and fresh fish....not bad for Queens location“

“Best and most creative sushi ever. Have never tried an item on the menu that I didn’t like. ❤️“

“I'll try to keep this to the point —

I gave Food/Service/Atmosphere 5 🌟 because they were on par for me. For a local spot, this really took me by surprise.

What I ordered:

Miso Soup:
Standard Miso Soup, nothing groundbreaking, but very tasty. Would have loved a tad more tofu & scallion, but that's just me.

Salmon Avocado Hand roll:
Not the hand roll I expected meaning it wasn't in the cone shape I'm familiar with, but it came presented like a taco with the seaweed as the shell. Salmon cuts were huge, and with great colour, avocado was bright & ripe, coupled with the perfect amount of rice. Everything tasted clean, and fresh.

Yellowtail Jalapeno Nigiri:
I messed up with this, originally I wanted a sushi roll, but my brain flubbed. Great mistake though, because the yellowtail was delicious, practically melted in my mouth, topped with a delicate cut of jalapeno on top.

Love Milk Tea:
Honestly, just a really delicious milk tea topped with osmanthus flower. It was light, refreshing, and not too sweet thankfully.

Wagyu Tataki:
Tataki is meant to be briefly seared on the outside, but the center remains raw. Was this seared to the degree I wanted? No. But, was it delicious? Yes. And the meat was incredibly tender, flavour of the sauces really complimented everything on the plate.

I finished off with a matcha cheesecake to go, I'm sure it'll be good.

With tip, I spent $67

Again, for a local spot in Richmond Hill/Kew Gardens, I was thoroughly impressed and satisfied. Personally, with slight adjustments, these folks would do great in midtown. I spent a little under what I would spend at a restaurant in the city, and got an incredibly satisfying meal, and left full.“

“I’ve loved this place for years, but I just catered from them for the first time, and everything was perfect. The sushi was delicious, they kept the sushi with gluten in a separate container, they have party platters and party trays, and they sold me the perfect amount of food without being pressured to buy too much. The price was reasonable- actually incredible considering how delicious everything was, and everything came on time. I will definitely cater from them again.“

“Absolutely recommend. Try the sashimi pizza. It’s phenomenal. Everything about the place is great. Well worth the visit.“

“Good food everything is well made“

“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!“

“This really is the best sushi restaurant in our neighborhood. The owners have always been so welcoming and the chef makes the best sushi, on par with way more expensive restaurants that we’ve been to, LI to Manhattan. No joke. Def worth the $$. I honestly wouldn’t believe anyone on here who would give a 1 star review. Hardworking family-owned business with wonderful service and great food! Thank you Ganda always!!!“

“Sushi Time! is always my hubby's and my go-to-sushi-craving-appeasing -eatery when we travel to NY.

Since they initially opened almost two decades ago, we've habitually eaten at the restaurant -- countless times when we lived in NY and even after we moved to NW CT in 2010. Now living in VA these past three years, our trips to NY are not as frequent, BUUUUT we make certain to eat at Sushi Time! when we are there -- whether just landed at one of NYC airports, passing through or visiting for several days. Yes, thats how much we enjoy eating at Sushi Time!

Jenna and her staff are always welcoming and amazingly friendly and attentive from the moment you walk into the restaurant, regardless if they just opened the doors to the very last minute they close at night.

Their sushi quality and specialty rolls combinations and flavours are impeccable. Never disappointing.

I highly recommend Sushi Time! Go and be delighted, your taste buds will thank you.“

“We have been ordering here for years but the price keeps going up on their platters - we usually get the XL sushi sashimi roll platter. It’s $140 at time of this review. Some of the rolls have a Korean flair with Korean pickled radish in them. A lot of spicy mayo is drizzled over the smaller rolls so it’s hard to tell what type of fish/roll you’re eating so keep that in mind if you have guests. Easy to order because you can’t choose.“

“New favorite local sushi take-out spot. Very friendly welcome when I walked in, told them my daughter really wants salmon and they were happy to custom one of the plates to include only salmon.

The salmon itself was excellent. Fresh and smooth texture, dare I say best I’ve had outside of Japan (was there in July).

Will be going back again.“

“This restaurant is fantastic! It's incredibly fresh and truly a hidden gem. I notice deliveries happening every week, which prompted me to give it a try. I'm a big fan of traditional Japanese cuisine. Their sushi is exceptionally fresh, and the salad is wonderfully light. The KANI salad has a delightful mild spiciness to it.
The owner is charming, and the waitress is very accommodating. They offer Japanese soda that you have to pop, as is traditional. It's so cute, and I highly recommend it. Although it's a simple establishment, the food definitely speaks for itself“

“We order take out from here maybe once a month and we always get a large order when we do. Their food is always fresh, flavorful, and leaving us feeling fulfilled and satisfied! Their rolls have an excellent filling to rice ratio! My youngest son loves their California Rolls and anytime we get them elsewhere, he says he prefers from Sushi You. They are very thoughtful of presentation, preparation, and protection of the food en route. Super friendly on the phone and they always double check the order placed. Thanks for your excellent food and service! We'll continue to support you!“

“Excellent food! Highly recommended. 😍 fried sushi, mango avocado cucumber roll.“

“We had the rainbow roll, maki combo w/tuna maki, salmon maki, and crab maki and an eel maki combo and everything was absolutely fresh and delicious. Great portions, excellent presentation, and the service was on time, courteous, and friendly. Highly recommend Samurai Sushi of Williston Park.“

“It’s been a while since I’ve been to Mama Sushi, but they did not disappoint! Happy hour was great—the margaritas were on point. The sushi was, of course, amazing, and the shrimp tacos were mad good! I’ll definitely be back. Big shout out to the free valet too, because parking was definitely impossible.“

“Unparalleled experience, the flavors, and thoughtful presentation. Delicious all around and the waiters were seamless, didn’t miss a beat and felt very cared for! I sat at the sushi bar and what a treat to see the beautiful works of art they’re creating. Second time here and will come again! Plus the music and overall atmosphere is always a good vibe!“

“Amazing food & great service!“

“Otaki Sushi truly exceeded my expectations with their fresh and delicious sushi offerings. Every bite was a delight, showcasing their commitment to quality and flavor. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed dining experience. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who ensured our meal was nothing short of perfect. If you're looking for outstanding sushi in a great atmosphere, Otaki Sushi is the place to be. Highly recommended!"

Vegetarian options: there are many vegetarian selections or u can substitute things to make it vegetarian

Parking: it’s a little hard to find parking because it’s usually taken

Kid-friendliness: If your kid doesn’t want sushi there are many options like fried rice, hibachi etc

Wheelchair accessibility: It has a decent space for wheelchairs and it is very accessible!“

“after dropping my kid at jfk, just need buy some time before heading back over the bridge...the fried rice was really good, the sushi rolls were good too, service was good since this place is really small but the fried ice-cream... yeah you definitely skip that!“

“Just had the best meal from omas! Everything was so fresh! We all couldn’t get enough! So yummmm!! Can’t wait to come back again ❤️❤️❤️“

“sushi was mid, and drove all the way out from Long Beach in this adventure to find the sushi restaurant and it was in the middle of a block and had high expectations but it was like a local neighborhood joint where everyone knows each other, but sushi was ok and like something id find in my corner block. had the maki b combo and kani salad and mikado roll, best was the spiccy tuna roll“

“纽约地区第一刺身店 只有唯一“

“Excelente comida me encanta“

“Reservation Surprise For My Birthday Amazing Service Foid Was Delicious Everything Was Awesome Enjoy My Special Day So Happy Miyama Restaurant Was Our Choice Lilly Server Was The Best : Thank You“

“my family comes here every wednesday!! if you can’t tell WE LOVE THIS PLACE!!! it’s the best place for sushi and if you are vegetarian there are many options!! my favorites are veggie tempura, and ikura roe roll!!! def recommend! this is my family’s fav place“

“I’ve been coming here for almost 15 years, and it’s my favorite restaurant. Their miso soup is amazing and has saved me a few times when I’ve been extremely sick. I love their sushi and their platters as well, I’m very well acquainted with the menu. However, this time the quality was very different; the miso soup was nowhere near where it usually is, and the chicken was ok. I hope it was a one time thing, because to me it’ll always be the best place ever. I’ll be coming back to ascertain whether the quality issues were a one time thing.“

“The food is good. The store neat and clean.“

“The best sushi in the neighborhood! We’ve been going there since they opened. Highly recommend.“

“Go. If you Love Sushi. Yahao gets it more than right! Food is exceptional. Sushi ordered so wonderfully dang fresh , clean and robust. We ordered even more. I had gotten an order of soba noodles with beef. Excellent flavor! Our servers were patient , polite and helpful. We had a very enjoyable night. Kanpai 🍶 😊🍱🍣“

“Truly had an incredible experience here. Very sleek and clean interior. My husband and I went for the first time with another couple who go often. Our server was so kind and attentive. I loved the complimentary green tea. I've been a sushi server way back when so I know my stuff. Let me tell you, the rolls are awesome! We had such a great time we plan on coming back next week! Thanks again 😀“

“Great food and great service. Very nice staff. They are very pleasant. The atmosphere is very relaxing. Would highly recommend this place.“

“Ordered chicken teriyaki lunch special. It was made fresh as I could hear the meat sizzling in the back and the wait didn't take too long (around 10-15 minutes).

The restaurant environment wasn't too great but I figured this is the kinda spot you order takeout from and, in that case, it's adequate for takeout. The chicken looks moist and well-sauced. The roll looks well-made with no browning on the avocado. Miso soup is comforting to have with chicken teriyaki over rice.

I have no complaints. 8.5/10

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options like tofu teriyaki

Wheelchair accessibility: On first floor, no steps.“

“Friendly staff and tasty food“

“The sushi was good I ate the billionaire roll and the spicy dragon roll. The spicy dragon roll was pleasantly mildly spicy and the billionaires roll tuna tasted delicious the tuna was not mushy like some other places it was balanced well with the tuna fat.“

“The best Asian Bistro in town! I went for happy hour and the staff was so friendly. I had the soup dumplings and fresh sushi. Service was quick and easy. I highly recommend. The largest party room I’ve ever seen. I asked the manager and he said you can project anything on the screen on the wall. I will book my next event here.“

“The owner is always super friendly and the food is good. We leave feeling full and the food is fairly priced!

The waitress usually offers us hot tea, on the house, which is very nice and helps in the cold weather.

If you can, go in person. Going in person here is such a more satisfying experience than over paying a delivery app with a bunch of fees. Great service. Great food. Great value. Can’t ask for much more!“
