50 Best Sushi Bars near East Meadow

“If you are looking for the freshest, highest-quality sushi on Long Island, look no further than Itzuki Sushi.

From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family. This has officially become our absolute go-to spot, and for good reason. The staff here is truly amazing—attentive, welcoming, and they always make sure the experience is top-notch.

Why it’s a 5-star experience:
• Unbeatable Freshness: You can tell immediately that they prioritize quality. Every piece of sashimi and every specialty roll tastes incredibly fresh and vibrant.
• Fantastic Flavors: The menu is creative and consistent. Whether you’re a fan of the classics or looking for a unique signature roll, everything is executed to perfection.
• The Vibe: The atmosphere is great, but it’s the amazing staff that really sets Itzuki apart. They make every meal feel special.

It’s rare to find a place where the food and the service are equally outstanding, but Itzuki nails it every time. Highly, highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Decided to stop in to see what it was all about. Ordered from three different restaurants and everything came out pretty good. Everything was tasty and I think we'd go again. Atmosphere was plain Jane, a few places to sit and wait (or) eat - we ate there. Nobody really there to give service points to. I'd definitely do it again. Pricing is a little high depending on what you're getting, but I believe if you order from the App there are discounts and deals.“

“Absolutely fantastic! Impeccable food and service and the place is a plus: elegant and unique atmosphere. An added bonus is the outdoor dining area with great view to the golf course.“

“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.“

“best poke Bowl I've ever had“

“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.“

“Perfect gem in a little strip mall in Hicksville! One of a kind. Super fresh sushi and delicious bubble tea! Will be back and very soon!!“

“Absolutely incredible! So glad I found this place. The staff were very very nice and courteous. The food was fresh and so delicious. Huge variety of sushi. This plate cost $40. They have parking in the back. Big selection of food. 10/10 would recommend“

“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“

“Taste good“

“I absolutely love this place.. been going to them for years... All staff is amazing!! food is fresh and delicious... ❤ can not wait til this is all over and you open back up!“

“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.“

“great Arata special sushi Rolls were awesome! All around great sushi meal!!!“

“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!“

“Sunday night came for a quick dinner with my daughter. Cute small place nice decor. Great service, and personable. We got the shrimp gyoza, the sashimi platter appetizer, Sushi sandwich and spider roll. Everything was excellent, fresh and full of flavor, the sauce with the gyoza was amazing, and my daughter loved her rolls. Definitely check them out. Located at the CVS shopping center in Hicksville on Old Country Rd. Always support small mom and pop businesses such as this wonderful family.“

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.“

“ur favorite Sushi restaurant in Port Washington. Sushi is excellent, main dishes delicious and we love the udon noodle soup. The service is oustanding.“

“This restaraunt has GREAT food, fair prices, excellent service, friendly staff, it has a great atmosphere, they are very accommodating, and there is always parking. If there is a wait it is just a couple of minutes, they try to get you started as quicky as possible. I have been going there with my family for many years, I can't remember the last time I went to another Japanese restaraunt. I recommend this place to all my friends and when they go they love it and become patrons too.“

“Delicious food and beautiful inside ! Great vibes!“

“Very enjoyable sushi restaurant. I went here for a good dinner and was able to try a good spread of sushi for a reasonable cost.We started with the pork gyoza, which was nice and pan-fried with a side of the classic ginger sauce. For rolls, we tried the Philly roll, atlantic beach roll, pink panther roll, and million dollar roll. All fresh and tasty, but nothing really stood out above the rest.I would recommend this place for some good choices of sushi.

Parking: Parking is across the street in the lot.“

“We have tried all of the sushi restaurants in our surrounding area and above all of them, this is the place we prefer by far! We have had it countless times. It is always fresh and delicious! We do delivery often, which is fast, easy and always accurate. Eating in the restaurant is very enjoyable too with its wonderful atmosphere, as well as having delicious food! This is also hands down both of my children’s favorite choices for sushi and sashimi (4 and 7 years old)!

Kid-friendliness: This is hands down both of my children’s favorite choices for sushi and sashimi (4 and 7 years old)!“
