“The freshest sushi you'll find.“

“Friendly staff and tasty food“

“Good food and good service 👍“

“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.“

“Lovely place we enjoyed it it was very cool“

“Sashimi新鮮，龍蝦🦞5食好味，服務非常好！👍🏻“

“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.“

“I rarely leave reviews at a restaurant and this is my first 5 star. It has been a long long time I was this pleased about sushi. I’m from Florida and sushi there is much more expensive and less fresh. This place is awesome! Thanks Tiger“

“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! 😁“

“There are many shops and they have parking“

“My wife and I had a great experience at Masaaki and truly enjoyed almost everything about it. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the space was clean and thoughtfully designed, and the overall vibe made it a great place to enjoy a meal.

The food was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was perfect and clearly made with quality ingredients. We especially enjoyed the yaki oysters.

Service once we were seated was excellent. Our servers were attentive, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the meal.

The only downside was the experience with the front desk host. At the beginning and as we were leaving, there was no smile, no greeting and no “bye.” That lack of warmth really stood out, especially since everything else in the restaurant was handled so well. It felt unwelcoming and unprofessional and took away from what was otherwise a near-perfect visit.

Overall, the experience was almost perfect. I would absolutely return and recommend this restaurant, and with a more welcoming presence at the front desk, it would easily deserve a full 5-star rating.“

“This is a family owned storefront restaurant that serves delicious Japanese food at affordable prices. The portions are generous and the service is outstanding. We had three teriyaki entrees: tofu, chicken, and steak. Each came with soup and salad. Not a dining experience but great for takeout.“

“The food is exceptional here. Each time I've been here the sushi is tasty, the rolls are fresh and the tempura is crispy. The salmon teriyaki was light, flaky and sauced to perfection. The salmon sashimi is top tier and I could have 20 of these in one sitting. The white tuna and red snapper sashimi are also favorites. The sake and crazy salmon rolls were also really really good, the volcano roll wasn't my favorite. I love coming and trying new rolls each time. Its great value when doing the all you can eat option.

The service is great in the sense that you get really tasty and fresh food as soon as its ready. After ordering, our servers brought our items as they were ready and checked on us throughout to clear empty plates and bring more as we needed. They gave us time to eat/enjoy and we didn't feel rushed at any point. If busy then there might be a small wait to get their attention but other than that, I think they do a great job. Sometimes you'll see workers sitting at a table enjoying their lunch as well, but it doesn't bother me because they do such a great job behind the scenes.

The space is clean, tidy, and spacious. They have a selection of booths or tables to sit at. There is also a restroom for customers that is clean and convenient.

Overall a great experience and I'll be back again for the all you can eat option.“

“Was very good meat and the atmosphere nice .“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“fresh and delicious! great customer service!“

“This place is literally the best sushi place we’ve been to in a very long time. The couple that own it are the absolute sweetest!! The service and the food is exceptional each time we’re served. The presentation is incredible, always so nice, clean and presentable! We go here at least once a week!! That’s how good this place is. It’s so underrated, I wish more people knew about this place! They deserve all the recognition possible! Thank you so much for your delicious food and warm atmosphere! We love it!!“

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

“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“

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

“Yummy food and very clean“

“Enjoyed a Salmon Poke Bowl at Sukiya Ramen & Poke, near Utopia Parkway & Francis Lewis Blvd. I got it with spicy mayo—delicious—and it was fun eating out of a giant bowl with a spoon. The place looks clean, and the staff is friendly.“

“It is basically like Panda. The sushi was very good
The winner was the chicken with the soy sauce they make it is fabulous! We did order big fruit drinks #6 yes that is true. they were not bad. .the green hot tea was good too.“

“Great service. Ken is the man on the grill??????????…. Five star service“

“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!“

“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. ? ?“

“The food is authentic. Their meat melts in your mouth! Oishii 😋😋😋“

“muy buena atención, exelente todo 👍“

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

“Wow. Simply delicious! If you’re looking for clean, fresh and a unique approach to Sushi and Japanese fare, please give this place a try. The owners are Peruvian and Japanese and that should say enough about their approach to their cuisine. Everything was fresh, the sushi, the teriyaki, the salad…. All delicious and memorable. I can’t say enough about how good the meal was and happy to be a fan of sushi again. Don’t hesitate. Give them a try!“

“Such a gem in the Long Beach West End!
Delicious sushi, amazing ramen, and the nicest local owners.
A must-visit spot for anyone in the neighborhood!

Love supporting this local spot in the West End
great food, great vibes, and always consistent quality.“

“Kaiyo is a great local spot for high-quality sushi.

The fish is very fresh, the rolls are well balanced, and nothing feels overdone. You can really taste the quality in both the nigiri and specialty rolls. Portions are solid, and everything comes out looking clean and thoughtfully prepared.

The atmosphere is relaxed but polished, and the service is friendly and attentive without feeling rushed. It’s an easy go-to for a casual dinner that still feels a little elevated. Definitely a place I’d come back to.“

“This ramen spot in Bayside is actually pretty good. We’ve been here a few times already, and every time the food has been consistent. The portions are not bad at all and the flavors are solid. Nothing too fancy, but definitely satisfying when you’re craving ramen.

The place itself has a cozy, slightly old-school Japanese vibe. Overall it’s just one of those reliable neighborhood places you don’t mind coming back to again and again. We’ll definitely keep stopping by whenever we’re in the area.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“Upscale Japanese cuisine, very friendly staff. For sure one of the best Japanese restaurant in Long Island. I enjoyed!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“From the warm atmosphere to the friendly service, this place feels instantly welcoming. The food is always delicious and served quickly, and the drinks did not disappoint. We’ve already been back a few times, and this cozy spot has easily become our go-to whenever we’re in the area.“

“food and service owsome , good place to bring families and friends.“

“Food its great but there’s always an actitud when delivery, we’re paying for the food and giving tip it passed no more than a minute since the doorbell rang we live in the 3rd floor we can’t open the door the second the door rang we have to go down 3 floors he/she was complaining. We like the food, we will order again hope your costumer service improves!!!!!“

“My friend recommended this restaurant cause serve halal beef and chicken, our chef tommy was sooo good and funny and very professional, kids enjoyed the show and the meal , i loved beef mignon and the special butter that makes everything tasteful, highly recommended“

“Beautiful venue and the food is awesome!!“

“I got food to takeaway and the portions were huge, especially for the price! I opted for the fried pork gyozas, a chicken and beef hibachi and a Pepsi and it was $21. Crazy.

The food was cooked fresh, was incredibly efficient and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere and the service from the staff was really warm and I’m glad I chose to go with Hibachi Express this evening.

Thank you!“

“The service is amazing and the food was delicious“

“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!“
