50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Far Rockaway

“We love ordering from Sunny! Food is really delicious and price is just right. Our favorites are the hibachi chicken and steak with the fried rice and the chicken and steak quesadillas. Depending on the time of your order, delivery can sometimes take an hour, but on a not so busy hour, can be delivered at your door in 30 minutes. Definitely recommend ?“

“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.“

“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!“

“Had a bento box for lunch and was really impressed! The ingredients were fresh, the presentation was beautiful, and the portions were generous. The tempura was perfectly crispy, and everything tasted great. Tina was so sweet, genuine, and welcoming — 10/10 would definitely come back“

“I ordered from E Sushi III on Uber Eats, and I was so impressed with how fast my food got to me. The delivery was super quick, and everything was still fresh when it arrived. The packaging was spot on—neat, secure, and no spills, even with the drinks I ordered. It’s clear they put effort into making sure everything stays in place and arrives in perfect condition.

Everything I ordered was on point and tasted amazing. From the sushi rolls to the appetizers, every bite was full of flavor, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. The way everything was put together made it feel like I was dining in at the restaurant. The flavors were balanced just right, and it all went above and beyond what I expected.

I’m definitely ordering from E Sushi III again, and I can’t wait for my next meal. It’s rare to find a delivery experience that’s this smooth and satisfying from start to finish. Great job, E Sushi III! You’ve won me over. Keep up the awesome work—you’ve got a loyal customer here! ❤️❤️❤️“

“We love coming here. The service is always great. So is the food! Small and cozy. Conveniently located. It’s one of our favorites.“

“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!“

“muy buena atención, exelente todo 👍“

“Hidden Gem!! This is by far the best sushi I have ever had. I order from Toyo at least once a week! Everything is super fresh and the size of the sushi pieces is substantial. Their rolls are terrific. Would absolutely recommend! Delivery is exceptional, expect to wait about 30-40 minutes, but it is worth the wait.“

“Mufu is a hidden gem! Their poke bowls are super fresh and flavorful! I had pineapple, chicken, and brown rice, and it all came together perfectly. The restaurant is spotless, and the service was fast and welcoming. I’d 100% come back again! Sooo delicious!“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but my sushi was so exceptional that I had to share. Everything was incredibly fresh, perfectly prepared, and the attention to the specific details of my order was truly appreciated. Easily the best sushi in Jamaica, highly recommend giving it a try!“

“With so many options in the area, it would seem crazy to suggest that Kaiyo could possibly set itself apart. I mean, it's not like the menu is wildly original or anything. However, somehow, Kaiyo's fish selection finds itself absolutely on another level. Sashimi heads rejoice.“

“You guys are the best, delicious food and beautiful presentation 👍👍☺️☺️😋😋“

“The environment of this restaurant is very good. The lady at the front desk took my order very carefully. The food is not only beautiful in appearance, but also tastes great. There are many choices of dishes and the price is not high. It is suitable for a try 👍“

“I had a truly excellent dining experience here. The pork teriyaki lunch special was tender, well seasoned and plated more elegantly than any lunch special I ever had before. The service was prompt and excellent and the hostess a wonderful person. This should be your go to place for Japanese Food in Forest Hills.“

“My husband and I come here quite often. We have always had a good experience. The food is fresh and the service is speedy. We have a few rolls and dishes we almost always order and add a new item every so often to give it a try. Our drink of choice is a zombie.“

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

“very tasty. great price. great staff.“

“We went Saturday night as a party of 5. The staff were very welcoming and the food was really good. I normally don’t finish all my food for hibachi but i definitely enjoyed my filet mignon and salmon. Lychee martini 10/10 it was sooo good and no coconut milk was included so that was a plus. Great place. Must try’“

“two days ago was the first time in this excellent restaurant. But It is surely not the last time. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the efficient service, with the high quality meal and wine and with the honest cost. We will no doubt visit there again.“

“KINHA SUSHI IS THE SPOT!!

The atmosphere is amazing and the food is too good. My server made great suggestions. I love sushi but my Dad is not for raw fish. So I'm always looking for a spot that gives me that sea and land mix for him. Kinha is that perfect balance. Great for father-daughter dinners.

He says it's a little better than our usual spot in RVC.

Important tips: Remember to go in through the back where there's parking!“

“I just wanted to get something quick, I found out they had cards they can stamp to eventually get a free meal. I’ve been here about 4 other times and no other cashier has ever mentioned that to me until Alexa did tonight. She ended up giving me two for filled up cards which she didn’t have to. Her customer service was fantastic. And would definitely keep coming again. Everyone is very nice and friendly in there. Would recommend.“

“Great local restaurant worth trying! I've been here a few times for dine in and take out.

Their food is so fresh and tasty. They ended up giving me extra ginger/etc if needed.

Staff is always very friendly, and you can watch them make the sushi in front of you. Would recommend.“

“Had sushi from them 3 times this week!! We love it! The salmon is delicious and the crazy tuna roll is our favorite! Yummy.“
