“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!“

“Lovely atmosphere, delicious and generous portions, and quality service“

“I’ve been ordering from this place since they opened up. They really do give you a good value for what they provide - I think a lot of the negative reviews below expect omakase grade sushi for takeout sushi pricing, and that’s just…not it. They did mix up my takeaway order once but were quick to fix it when I called, and delivered the correct order to my place. Overall, pretty great local joint.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Its our first time to order from this restaurant and we will definitely order again, the sushi order was sooooo goood Oh my god!, Loved crispy rice ball appetizers, the top notch signature 😋 its a favorite and dragon roll perfect, everything was fresh and tasty, highly recommended ( delivery order)“

“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.“

“best poke Bowl I've ever had“

“It's pretty nice inside and I like the massive selection that you can choose from. Definitely cool for hanging with friends or a casual date because the vibe is pretty chill. I usually don't have to deal with a wait before being seated and the skewers are great for sharing because they're all bite sized.“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“Love this spot! It has become my go-to sushi place within Forest Hills. I have placed both small and big (like platters) orders with them. Their food is fresh and delicious, with plenty of options. Equally importantly, their service is always wonderful and prompt. Can't wait to have sushi from them again soon :)“

“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.“

“I tried this spot a few weeks ago for the first time and I can't stop going back. The sushi is soo good great quality and taste is top tier but I came here to review the incredible service from the lovely people who work there. So kind they run a lovely cozy establishment and i'll be a customer forever! <3“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Good food everything is well made“

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

“Excellent mom-and-pop small sushi spot in the bigger shopping plaza. Parking is not easily found. Try to park on the neighboring streets.
The quality of sushi is good and they make sushi very fast while you wait even if your order is large.
They make lots of large boats orders and party platters.“

“This is the best sushi and sashimi spot on Long Island. This place is clean, the fish is fresh and every item we tried on the menu was delicious. We went in low expectations given sushi is better in manhattan but I feel we've found a gem locally. They had a stir friend udon noodle chicken dish which the kids devoured. I was skeptical but the udon noodles had the perfect shiitake mushrooms flavor and really were delicious. We ordered yellowtail jalepeno, another white tuna truffle, rock shrimp,edamame, gyoza, 355 roll, mikado inspiration sashimi and the chicken udon noodles. The host was sweet and helped in recommending items for our kids. The place is kid friendly. Highly recommended this place.“

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

“Selection was amazing! Waitresses are very attentive. They keep your water cup filled. I went on a Saturday evening so the price was $38.99. A little pricey for all you can eat sushi. I called first and was told that it was $28.99, which informed my decision to go. But when I got there the sign said $38.99! ,"Oh well, we already traveled here, I could've sworn she said $28.." "What's an extra 20 bucks" Overall the food was amazingly prepared.“

“Amazing food & great service!“

“We love this place. Been there twice on the last month. I had a wonderful and plentiful sashimi. The fish was very fresh and delicious. My wife had the eel. The atmosphere is casual but super friendly. It's BYOB! Highly recommend this restuarant.
My wife says she loves that there is NO music which makes it a peaceful space. She also appreciates that there is a roomy feeling. It's not overcrowded.“

“One of the best values in omakase in all of NYC. And top three in my entire lifetime. The host, Joe, was so warm, friendly, and attentive. Our chef Eric was extremely kind and generous. It was such a great meal and every single piece of sushi was perfectly crafted with amazingly fresh fish. 10/10, would come here again and hopefully really soon!“

“Okaru is an elite establishment featuring a stunning interior with exceptional staff. So many creative and fun options to try from the menu like the Big Eye Tuna Tarts and both the Crispy Spicy Bass and Shrimp bites. My Lamb Chops had great flavor and sides, and both desserts were delicious!“

“We moved from Port Washington to MA this May and have been unable to find a spot that offers everything that Aki does, not to mention at the same quality! They just execute everything so well. It was our go to for sushi, we loved the apps (the crispy rice and jalapeño yellowtail are fire), and loved also having options for classic Chinese food. We loved that it offered a little bit of everything. We only ever ordered takeout but the service was always top notch too. We love and miss you Aki!“

“Friendly staff and tasty food“

“纽约地区第一刺身店 只有唯一“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pizza Paradise truly lives up to its name! 🍕✨ I catered from them for an event, and Michael was amazing — so helpful, responsive, and made the whole process effortless.

The food was a huge hit! 🤩 The specialty sushi disappeared instantly 🍣, and the MVP pizza pie — with pesto, marinara, and vodka sauces over melty mozzarella — was the star of the night. 🌟 BH the food kept coming.

If you’re looking for unforgettable flavors and top-notch service, this is the place. Can’t wait to go back! 💐“

“Went to Otaki Sushi for lunch and it was worth it. The service was on point; our server was super polite, always checking in, and she made sure our hot tea was never empty. The tea is really good and pipping hot not warm.

We had the salmon teriyaki bento boxes for $14, and you definitely get your money’s worth. The salmon was fresh, no fishy smell, cooked perfectly with a nice crust outside but still moist in the middle, and not drowning in sauce. It comes with broccoli, snow peas, and corn. I like my veggies crunchy so I enjoyed it, but if you like them softer, I’d just mention that when ordering.

The bento also came with California rolls, and those were really good too. Between the portion size, quality, and service, you leave full and happy. Five out of five.“

“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!“

“Dagim is fabulous! The menu is vast and has options to suit everyone, and the service is exceptional. The atmosphere in the restaurant is lovely for either parties or cozy family dinners. Suitable for people of all ages, I’d recommend Dagim to anyone looking for great food and good company. The cuisine, service, and treatment from the owners never disappoints!“

“Went here after previous experience at Mamajuanas a few weeks ago. Was not disappointed at all. 🤩💯

Seated quickly even though we were earlier than our reservation. Staff were attentive and accommodating, seemlessly making space for our wheelchairs. 👍♿

Appealing restaurant ambiance with great art on the walls. The food...omg the food. So many things to choose and something for everyone. 🖼️😋

Had the grilled octopus and it was divine....charred in the right places and tender. Came with brussel sprouts, broccolini, and carrots....just Yummmm! 🐙🥦🥕

Had two rolls, with one having octopus in it (Yes, I love octopus). There were two different kinds of plantains and drinks. My choice lemonade sangria and a Pina Colada that came in a pineapple. It was delicious. 🍣🍹🍍

Yes, there was dessert. We got the platter which had strawberry shortcake, flan, tres leches and a hot chocolatey cake. Almost to pretty to eat. 🍰🍓🍮

Will go back to try other things and will definitely return for the Octopus! Thank you for eveything: 🙏💖“

“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.“

“I’ve been to a lot of sushi spots in NYC and Long Island, but Daruma of Tokyo in Great Neck honestly surprised me in the best way. The vibe here is so warm and inviting, the staff actually pay attention to you, check in without hovering, and make you feel comfortable right away. It’s the kind of place where you can relax the second you sit down.

The sushi was unbelievably fresh. I’m picky about sashimi, and theirs tasted clean and smooth with zero fishy aftertaste. The tuna practically melts, and the salmon had that perfect buttery texture you only get from really high-quality cuts. The amaebi and ikura were standouts too, sweet, fresh, and not overly briny. You can tell they take their time with the prep because everything came out beautifully presented.

One thing that really impressed me was the pricing. For the quality you’re getting, it honestly feels like a steal. I’ve paid way more at places that didn’t even come close. This spot proves you don’t need to drop crazy money just to get genuinely good sushi.

It’s definitely a place I’d bring friends or family to, especially people who appreciate authentic Japanese flavors without any pretension. And yes the claw machines in the back are such a cute touch. We ended up playing after dinner and won a couple of toys, which just made the night even better.

If you’re in the Great Neck area, Daruma of Tokyo is absolutely worth checking out. Fresh food, great service, fair prices“

“This is my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood, I come here most weeks. The employees are very nice and you get large portions for a reasonable price. I have a very sensitive stomach and this is one of the few places that doesn’t leave me hurting afterwards, so I know they keep the kitchen very clean.“

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

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

“my absolute FAVORITE sushi spot by far! the sushi is always consistently FRESH and the proportions are perfect! loveee the salmon ? - I get it every time cause it’s the BEST! the miso soup is also really good and the owner is super friendly ?“

“Came here yesterday for a late lunch/early dinner. We ordered the Indonesian veggie samba, California sushi rolls and spicy tuna sushi rolls. The food was excellent. Service was good. Food was prepared quickly and tasted fresh and delicious. The atmosphere and the visual effects on the wall makes for a great ambience. Definitely coming back here in the future.“

“Sashimi新鮮，龍蝦🦞5食好味，服務非常好！👍🏻“

“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“
