50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Fresh Meadows

“I recently dined at Zen Fusion Cuisine in Fresh Meadows, and it was a delightful experience. The ambiance was serene and inviting, setting the perfect mood for a relaxing meal. The menu offers a diverse selection of dishes, blending Thai, Japanese, and Vietnamese cuisines. I opted for the all-you-can-eat option, which was both reasonably priced and offered a wide variety of fresh sushi and hibachi items. The sushi was exceptionally fresh, and the hibachi dishes were flavorful. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring that our dining experience was enjoyable. I highly recommend Zen Fusion Cuisine to anyone looking for a satisfying and diverse Asian fusion meal in Queens. I strongly recommend spicy girl rolls！！！“

“As always very good dinner 🥰“

“I love this restaurant! They provide splendid meals, their menu is nice, The chief cook in that restaurant is a real authority in the kitchen, I love a lot tasting all their food. The food is always fresh, the attitude towards the clients is very good too. I frequently visit this restaurant and I was never disappointed. I recommend it to all my friends.“

“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.“

“This place is fantastic!! The food flavorful and you’ll end up craving it a few days later. I highly recommend their spicy katsu chicken sandwich and their curry bowl. They have fun Japanese drinks, desserts and snacks as well. There is sometimes a long line but it goes quick. Definitely check this place out.“

“Ordered the miso flatfish teishoku set with the eggplant and shiitake pickles. Every single piece of food was perfectly done. The fish was cooked so it was flaky and moist and had a great miso flavor. Each pickle was so juicy and had great texture. The cold sencha was also especially great.

I couldn’t fault a single thing about the food. My only complaint would be the price is fairly high for lunch, even for Brooklyn prices. That being said, in my opinion, you could taste the amount of care and attention that was put into each ingredient.

I would definitely recommend this place to Japanese food lovers. The food here was exceptional even compared to teishoku sets we’ve had in Tokyo.“

“My plus one and I really enjoyed our time here. We had just gotten home from vacation and were in a mood for Ramen and this place did not disappoint.
Let me just say that this place has such a traditional Japanese vibe to it…the staff is warm and welcoming and the food was spectacular.
We had the ramen, both original and spicy and it was very delicious. We also had two Asahi beers and called it a day.
Overall, I will come back to this place more often.“

“Lovely place we enjoyed it it was very cool“

“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.“

“Good food and good service 👍“

“Loved everything we had - karaage, tempura, chashudon and gyudon. Everything tasted fresh and was cooked well. The chashu had amazing flavor, and the rice was so good. I haven’t had well-cooked rice in a very, very long time. It was quite special!“

“Had a belated birthday dinner here last night with my gal friends and it was everything I could’ve hoped for.

This was my first omakase experience! From the hot towel, to the ambiance and service, I felt cared for.

We each did the $65 omakase and it was more than enough food. The sushi was so fresh and creative.

My friends really enjoyed the sweeter sakes and next time I’ll be partaking in a glass myself. The Yuza sake is so delicious.

I will be back and highly recommend this place! Thanks for the hospitality.“

“My go to spot whenever I’m in the city for years now“

“This is my new favorite takeout place! The sushi is some of the best I’ve had in Brooklyn, and the prices (especially for the dinner boxes + lunch specials) are more than reasonable.

The most recent times I’ve ordered, I’ve needed to swap out the roll in the Sushi Dinner due to a dietary restrictions. I called the restaurant and they were super friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend ordering from here!“

“Beautiful spot, everything is so thoughtful from the ceramics hand made by the chef to the incredible soba. Subtle flavors that intertwine to create a light and delicious meal. Highly recommend the shio duck with housemade spicy chili paste. The tofu was also incredible, unlike any tofu I’ve ever tasted and much better.“

“Everything was great - especially the food. Just be careful if you are looking for traditional omakase, this one is fusion. But really worth it. Also for those visiting from abroad, the $50-100 range displayed by google is misleading - it doesn't include a couple things including the expected tip which reaches $50. 2 people, 2 glasses of wine, we paid $270. Again, worth it IMO considering the food and other similarly priced restaurants.“

“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“

“Some of the best ramen we've ever had. Wish we could have tried them all!! Fantastic.“

“I love this place. Food and service are good. Price is even better.

Vegetarian options: Their cocktails are fabulous

Kid-friendliness: Kids friendly before 11pm

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible“

“Ginza Don in the Golden Mall Food Court, Flushing, Queens, offers an astonishing dining experience with its donburi rice bowls topped with a variety of proteins like beef, rib eye, steak, and eel, all cooked right in front of you. Watching the food being prepared adds a unique touch to the meal. Their new appetizers, like the mozzarella cheese sausage and crunchy karaage fried chicken, are absolutely delicious. This spot is a must-try, and I'll definitely be back to sample more of their donburi offerings!“

“Japanese curry is one of my favorite foods and I feel like it’s hard to get it just right - but A-un does! Their curry is the perfect thickness and spice level, and they give you plenty so you are’t left with more rice than curry. Seriously, the best I’ve had in NY and at a great price point with excellent service and ambience! Definitely returning.“

“Sashimi新鮮，龍蝦🦞5食好味，服務非常好！👍🏻“

“Cute lil spot in Long Island City that opened approx. a year ago serving up authentic Japanese fare. Great for impromptu lunch or to catch up with friends. They do open for dinner and drinks but I haven’t been yet.

I came for lunch with two of my friends. We tried the Omurice, Vegan Ramen and Matcha Soufflé Pancake. I omitted the bacon from my rice. The rice was a bit dry or overcooked and the egg wasn’t as eggy/runny as expected. We shared the matcha pancake, it was delicious enough to disappear in under 5 minutes. Our drinks were delicious as well. Mine was a bit too sweet for my taste so I watered it down.

I’ll definitely recommend and be back!“

“Took my wife to Sushi On Me for her 50th birthday! We had a group of 8 which was perfect. Each of the 15 courses was beautifully crafted and served with an explanation of what it was before eating it. The sake flows like water and so do the curses as it is cheered to “Enjoy your F-ing dinner!” And we did! Will be back!“

“Place is cozy food is great healthy choices🥙🥗🥘🍣“

“I ordered one night I didn't feel like cooking and previously had NO clue they existed. What an amazing surprise! Especially in East Flatbush/Midwood!?

Hands down, the best, freshest sushi I've had in NYC. Affordable with kind and friendly service.

I've already been back and will go a million times more.“

“Food is amazing every time“

“Tasty, imaginative cocktails, great atmosphere, nice food.“

“There are many shops and they have parking“

“Our dinner at Minato was amazing! I was truly impressed by the ambience and serenity of the garden area, with beautiful lighting and a fountain. The staff was incredibly kind and informative as they fielded all of our questions, and even were open to adjusting our order based on our preferences.

Highly recommend the assorted fish flight and salmon flight, and the teas which came in beautiful pots!!“

“Good sushi and ramen place in the area! Would go back. Good food, service, and location.

We went on a weekday evening around 6:30 and there were plenty of tables open. Service was attentive to order and refill waters throughout our visit.

I liked how they had sets for various menu options. This allowed us to sample few things as it was our first time.

Being a regular sushi eater, one surprising thing was that their rolls are huge! I couldn’t eat them in one bite. They were good but they didn’t taste the freshest. For us this was okay but if you’re looking for freshest, more classic sushi experience this may surprise you a bit.

Ramen was filled with veggies and enough noodles. Surprisingly good portion sizes for the price!“

“New kid on the block . Food is fresh but lacks taste . Presentation is excellent but need a little upbeat. We arrived without reservation at 8pm and They told us all seats are booked for 9 . We insisted and got seat and left at 830 way before next group arrived.

Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian dishes

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair access“

“So good! Sushi sandwich with panko fish! The rice was even slightly warm when I had that sandwich!

About the place. Cozy and friendly atmosphere, like at beloved home. They have cute patio. I enjoyed this place a lot. I already planned when I’ll come back.

Gentleman at the counter was obliging, friendly and witty.

Thank you good luck“

“So delicious! Great attention to detail - I order takeout from here sometimes and they never forget anything.

However, I would order way more if the uber eats menu was fixed. It has an issue where certain menu items don’t show available options. The roll combo B for example lets you pick three sushi rolls, but there’s no option to actually pick the rolls. Just to pick salad or soup. The same problem for the soft drink (mentions coke, sprite, ginger ale, but you can’t pick which one)

Can this be fixed? You may be losing business because of this.

Can this be fixed“

“A tasty, cute, local spot that offers omakase as well as your traditional sushi/Japanese menu options with options for drinks too. Our favorite dishes to get are their Chilean Sea Bass with mushroom , truffle risotto and veggies, Masaaki Roll, and Eel Kamameshi Rice. Their sashimi dishes are also quite tasty and the omakase is affordable at just under $100.

The only drawback is that the omakase is in the back where they have bigger tables and separate rooms for a more private setting, which in my opinion takes away from the intimacy that is meant to be the purpose of omakase. But I would still recommend this place to eat at for any occasion, from a date night or dinner with family.“

“muy buena atención, exelente todo 👍“

“A solid place for quick affordable bites on Jamaica and Woodhaven. The quality of their food is what you pay for, nothing crazy but does the job. The place is popular among people of all ages because of its affordability. Their service is always great, the workers are all attentive, but they could use a renovation for their sitting arrangement, other than that, a solid 3.5/5 overall“

“my wives and i have lived near trad room for the last year and they have always delivered excellent food, service, and ambiance. one of our regular runners, maddie, is timely, fashionable, and cute as a button. although we’re moving to a different borough, we will certainly be back. #tradlifeforever“

“i work in Harlem and this little gem on 124th is fabulous. the food is delicious, the lunch specials are well priced. I have had many lunches and dinners at this place. love love love it“

“Love this place! Excellent service, great food, wonderful environment! I’m going back. Love the moctels!!!!Great experience!“

“Was very good meat and the atmosphere nice .“

“Minimal, bright and welcoming hand roll joint. This place never disappoints. They have delicious animals and the service is always excellent. This particular location has a lunch special with the West Village location does not have. Best hand rolls out there!“

“It's been years coming to parsley, I mean how can you not come here. Let me explain to you that this woman all by herself is managing this place. From Onigiris to Tuna Don, Maze Gohan as well as ramen soups. I mean everything is so perfect. She has a great selection of sake to die for as well as beer. Without mentioning that there is a variety of Wines. Excellent for Dine in and takeout. Overall, a great place for dates, as well as coming alone. You will not be disappointed.

Vegetarian options: Tofu soup, Vegetable Gyozas, vegetables Onigiris.“

“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 live around the corner and had such a lovely time here, I will absolutely be coming back. The rolls, especially eel, were delicious, and so was the Green tea tiramisu for dessert. Also had great sake, and all this was for a reasonable price and in a beautiful setting. Our host, Akbar, was so incredibly kind, hospitable, and clearly cares a lot about the quality of food and service. Bushniwa really feels like a rare gem.“

“I was craving a poke bowl today at a certain time and happened to stumble across this place. It was my first time entering Sukiya Ramen and Poke. The lady greets you as soon as you walk in. She is very attentive and sweet! They have a flyer for you to fill out if you want to create your own poke bowl. Which is very organized! She took my order and I ordered to stay. The man that works there served me my food. Everything was fresh and I finished the entire bowl. It was worth coming there and I will be coming back!“

“It is not often enough that great atmosphere and ambience pair together with great food, but this place has done just that.

Since their renovations last year the quality of everything from the plates to the whole interior design has improved. Not only that but the food is one of the best in the neighborhood.“

“I've been here several times for dinner with my preschool-aged son and just went today for lunch. It's been a treat each time. I try a different side dish from their rotating menu on each visit, and I haven't been disappointed yet. Everything on their menu has been just the right savory, harmonious amount of flavor without being overly salty or overdone in any way. My son and I also love the fresh tofu. The staff has been very courteous, and everything is reasonably priced. I hope they stay around in LIC because there aren't very many restaurants like this that make things so comfortable in every way. I seldom dine out but I'd eat here anyday.“

“fresh and delicious! great customer service!“

“The freshest sushi you'll find.“
