50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Douglaston

“My husband likes sashimi, so he often orders sashimi rice bowl.It's fresh and kind. I thought about what it would be like if the bowl was round. More like a real bowl.. But I eat it in a bowl at home, so there's no problem.
I highly recommend it.“

“Another amazing dinner from Katsuno. Our favorite authentic Japanese restaurant in NYC came through for us once again, this time with take-out. Tonight we had the Tuna Avocado Salad, Nigiri Sushi, Pork Hirekatsu, and Tempura Udon. All served with a refreshing can of Funaguchi Kikusui Sake. Everything was fresh and delicious as always and served curbside in a safe no contact manner. Thank you Katsuno!“

“Great service, the food is such a great value when you go for happy hour, but even normal price hand roll set is a good deal. Very tasty sashimi, my favorite were the salmon roll and yellowtail hand roll.
The cold sake was very good for the price.
Server was friendly and attentive.
Would definitely come back!“

“I stopped by Tiger Sushi because the atmosphere looked really inviting, and I wasn’t disappointed. The inside was very spacious, and you could tell the food is made with pride and love. Everything was perfectly balanced, not too salty, not too sweet, just right. Can’t wait to go back. Best sushi place in town!“

“Sashimi新鮮，龍蝦🦞5食好味，服務非常好！👍🏻“

“I heard about this place on tiktok, wanted to try myself. I came late like 5 and they close at 6 so options were low, but I tried the mussel with seaweed wrap and rice and veggies. It was delicious. I also had the matcha ice cream, it was decent . But the owner is very nice , will come again earlier to try sushi rolls.“

“Great place for a quick bite at a nice price! I had the Thinly Sliced Beef Donburi. It also came with egg, seaweed salad, and a nice miso soup to top it off. The beef was cooked very well and had a smoky flavor I’ve had in some of my favorite places in Japan. Would definitely come back here! 😁“

“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.“

“There are many shops and they have parking“

“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...“

“Today my first time ordering this place to go I order a party tray it was delicious everything was nice and fresh the girl in the front was so nice she offered me a glass of water while I waited I feel bad for her that she do the front and doing waitress also she does a amazing job keeping the customers happy I will come back again soon order more and go there to eat thank you“

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

“Some friends and I took a gamble and walked into what was a completely empty restaurant—usually a sign that something is amiss. Boy, were we surprised! The sushi was phenomenal! The owner and staff were attentive and accommodating. We sat at the sushi bar and enjoyed several courses of meticulously prepared sushi. This is my new go-to sushi restaurant for both takeout and dining in Rockville Centre!“

“Yummy!!!!! ummmmm!!!!! Thi shrimp platter the sushi!!!!“

“muy buena atención, exelente todo 👍“

“Great food. Fantastic service.“

“I just tried the Thai tea and it was delicious !!! 😋“

“Delivered via DoorDash and the quality was pretty fantastic. The California Roll was not only fresh, but tastes well made and extremely well-crafted. I was pretty hungry and scarfed down the chicken teriyaki I ordered: the flavors were there, the quality was outstanding, and the freshness and care for my delivery felt intentional. I would absolutely re-order from this location again. Overall, it was a great experience!“

“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!“

“The freshest sushi you'll find.“

“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.“

“Hands down one of the best Asian restaurants in NYC. Easily the best in the Bronx. Party of 12 was accommodated at a late hour with warmth, attention, humor and generosity. We were not rushed out and we were given a discount. You won't regret anything you order here, and the owners are a treasure!“

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

“My first time here, and it completely exceeded my expectations! The food was absolutely incredible. From the very first bite, the flavors were unforgettable—honestly some of the most delicious food I’ve had. I also have to mention the service. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout the entire visit. I will definitely be coming back. This has easily become one of my favorite places!“

“My husband and I had a wonderful Omakase experience. We did the $128 tasting menu with the sake pairing. Needless to say, we will be going back. The tastings were super fresh, and the chef was lovely. My favorite dish was the Sea Bream. My first time trying it. I am lucky to have such a gem so close to home. Well done !“

“Tried this new sushi spot with a friend and loved it! The food was delicious, the quality was great, and the vibe was super chill. Service was amazing from start to finish. Special shoutout to Stacey for taking such great care of us! Definitely a spot worth checking out!“

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

“The food is amazing, and the staff is always friendly and on point. I highly recommend this place to everyone if you are in the NYC area. It is in Forest Hills, Queens, NY right next to the Forest Hills train station. ----“

“Absolutely delicious, food is amazing, if your able to sit down and eat it's a nice spot to do so. But because the food is good, it gets pretty packed. Great prices for alot of food. And the Fried chicken Dumplings are great. I ate them so fast I didn't take a picture. ? ?“

“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!“

“i love yuzu!! i always order for delivery and am always satisfied. the person who takes my order over the phone is very sweet and makes sure to double check my order. i always tip because they deserve it! their dinner bento boxes are the best, a lot of food for an amazing price!! everything tastes wonderful, no complaints. i also ordered their mango mochi for the first time and loved it!! thank you yuzu!“

“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 🍶 😊🍱🍣“

“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!“

“Stopped by for a quick meal while we wandering around Flushing taking care of some errands. I ordered the Tasting menu which came with a Lobster Salad, A5 Wagyu, some Sushi, and some pudding, along with some Sunte Bay Clams.

Everything was good and the service was quick and professional. There are a ton of restaurants around downtown flushing so this place has a lot of competition.

Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area and in the mood for some fancy food.“

“I love sushi, and the food at this restaurant is very good. The ingredients are also very fresh. The most important thing to eat Japanese food is the freshness of the ingredients. Especially raw food. The sushi at this restaurant is quite delicious. The combination of soy sauce and rice, in addition to fresh ingredients. It is simply delicious. Highly recommended to everyone.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“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!“

“Got the house steak, California roll and shrimp noodles. All three dishes were delicious!!! Honestly everytime i come here the food seems to get better, ive tried multiple dishes and havent been disappointed. Waitress is attentive and kind as well and big portions are given. Truly a college point hidden gem. Im suprised its not more popular!“

“This place has been around for a very long time, the owner is and always has been so hospitable. The food always fresh and tasty. Streamed shrimp shumai is a mustttt! I had the maki eel and dragon roll and it was great. Jazz was playing on the stereo which made the perfect ambiance for me. I will always come back.“

“Nova Sushi is the most affordable restaurant I've come across. The portions are very generous — at other places I'd need to spend $50 to feel full, but here $20 does it. All the ingredients are super fresh, and the staff patiently walk you through all the different dishes. They also offer delivery. If you're nearby and craving sushi or hibachi, give this place a try — you won't regret it. Great value, big portions, guaranteed to fill you up.“
