50 Best Sushi Bars near Fresh Meadows

“I was in the area and wanted a quick bite. Looked for kosher sushi and found them. Their torpedo roll was one of the best sushi rolls i ever had - it was simply delicious. I had another roll as well, it was good, but the torpedo roll is a winner.“

“Getting mostly for takeout so won't focus on the restaurant itself. Neighborhood restaurant with reasonable price and have been going there for years. Lunch menu available all week unlike many other restaurants that does M-F and excludes holidays.“

“I recently had Fortune Chinese Food cater a party, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience! From start to finish, they were an absolute pleasure to work with — professional, reliable, and incredibly accommodating.

A special shoutout to Gaby, who made the entire process seamless. She was so helpful with planning the menu, answering all my questions, and making sure everything was just right for the event. Her communication was on point, and she genuinely cared about making our party a success.

The food was great! Everything was delivered right on time and beautifully packaged, ready to serve. Huge thanks to Gaby and the team — I’ll definitely be using them again!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love the pad thai so much. Really authentic Thai kitchen. Thank you so much guys. I really enjoyed this!“

“I am a frequent guest at the Nami Nori Williamsburg location, and unfortunately tonight's visit was not a positive experience for my group. I brought a new guest to the restaurant, and she did not have an enjoyable time. She was asked to move her bag even though the bar hooks was not suitable for hanging it, and later, we felt rushed out of the space. While I understand that the restaurant may need to accommodate other parties, the venue was fairly empty, and it was very cold outside. After paying for our meal, we were finishing our conversation when we were asked to collect our coats, which added to the feeling of being pushed out. In the future, it would be helpful to communicate any dining time limits at the beginning of the experience rather than at the end. As a loyal supporter of this location, this visit felt disappointing and not aligned with the standard I've come to expect and recommend to my community.“

“I had a really wonderful time here - and enjoyed the excellent food! I found the service to be extremely attentive, and all the staff very responsive to needs and the fact that I am pescatarian and requested one modification to the set omakase. I got the 15 course omakase with the sake pairing and all of the pieces were delightful! The fish was firm and fresh, and tasted great, and I loved the light hand the chef used for the sauces. I will definitely come back.“

“Tuna cutting ceremony was a thrill in all respects… great staff here !“

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

“I absolutely love this place! The food is fenomenal! Every time I come I order a different dish and they never disappoint. The owner is very friendly, the atmosphere is nice to have a date or come eat with friends and family. I'm bringing all my friends here 100% recommend.“

“I’m in from Miami for a week. My first night in I came in because of its reviews and distance from my hotel! All o can say is
EVERYTHING they cook and serve is 10/10✨✨. Fresh sushi and amazing flavor to all their foods.. today’s my 2ns time here. And will make it a must whenever back in NY. Amazing food guys!“

“The best sushi I ever had.Friendly chef and attentive staff.“

“Its our first time to order from this restaurant and we will definitely order again, the sushi order was sooooo goood Oh my god!, Loved crispy rice ball appetizers, the top notch signature 😋 its a favorite and dragon roll perfect, everything was fresh and tasty, highly recommended ( delivery order)“

“This is some of the best sushi I have ever had. Super fresh ingredients and the sushi so good I didn’t require dipping sauce. I highly recommend.“

“Once again the Modern Omakase 8 is amazing - the best sushi on the upper east side. The apps were great - seaweed salad and rock shrimp tempura (better thank Nobu). The service is awesome - everyone is happy, smart, friendly and knows the menu and the cocktails.“

“My wife and I went to Sushi Jin last night for the first time. It was wonderful on all fronts - the space, the vibe, the freshness, the omakase selections, the assembly, the presentation, and of course, the taste (oishii!). Really good sake, too. Chef Tachikawa took great care of us- he was friendly, gracious, and way capable. Our server (everything else but the sushi), Jean, was also fantastic. We walked out of there satisfied & very happy and thought it was the perfect dinner to celebrate our anniversary. We look forward to our next visit.“

“Its such a clean place,with delicious flavors and awesome staff�����. I always recommend it too my friends.“

“Good food and cheaper. Very nice staff“

“This place has the potential of being staple in the harlem neighborhood. It more of Americanized Japanese food that they serve. Which is not a bad thing, this is good place if you want something different but still stay in the familiarity of dishes. Their prices are very fairand give good portion sizes. I will recommend for you to come try it if you never been. It's definitely a place to go for lunch or picking up something quick.“

“It's pretty nice inside and I like the massive selection that you can choose from. Definitely cool for hanging with friends or a casual date because the vibe is pretty chill. I usually don't have to deal with a wait before being seated and the skewers are great for sharing because they're all bite sized.“

“I dare you to find me a better sushi place than Otoro. I highly recommend the place. The quality of the food, service and ambiance is unmatched!

I personally recommend the edamame, the Yellowtail roll, and the King Salmon nigiri!

I'll be back here for more. I am here a few times a month“

“Delicious! I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while and I’m so glad I did. The price is very reasonable for the amount and quality of sushi. We got the goal omakase for two, it comes with soup or salad and 24 pieces (two of each) and two rolls.

There’s a small counter seating enough to fit two people. Inside is clean and no frills.
Favorite pieces are the scallop that’s lightly torched and the mackerel. I also enjoyed the tuna pieces, honestly all of it was very delicious.

Will be back for more!!“

“Their HH is unreal! Good drinks and great prices. We originally went in to get a snack and get drinks but the food was so good we just ended up staying for dinner. Prices are very repeatable. They have a lot of vegetarian/vegan sushi and apps.

Service - very friendly and quick

Ambiance - nice decor and appreciate seeing the chefs making the sushi fresh“

“I threw a sweet 16 party for my daughter this weekend at this Restaurant and it was Amazing from the event planner Natasha for Agenda to the servers everyone was so very helpful Especially Chef Wilmer he was amazing through the whole process to me planning my event there to the day it was time to put everything together he was very helpful and his food was absolutely Amazing!! I wish I took pictures but it was gone to fast everyone was so patient and they were very accommodating Thank you Agenda!! For your Amazing service! And your tasty Amazing Food!!!“

“Staff are very nice! Fish portions feel a little small but presentation was fantastic. The shrimp + uni, scallop, miso fish (don't remember what it was called), and oyster to start was the best. Very nice of them to give us a mochi dessert on the house at the end! Only other con was that the food court got a little loud at the end.“

“Calamari is excellent! They have many sushi variations!! All made professionally! The hot saki is always satisfying!!“

“Love this spot! It has become my go-to sushi place within Forest Hills. I have placed both small and big (like platters) orders with them. Their food is fresh and delicious, with plenty of options. Equally importantly, their service is always wonderful and prompt. Can't wait to have sushi from them again soon :)“

“This is a review specifically about the Ikura don. I love ikura so was super happy to see that they have ikura don on the menu! I also got the chirashi don, which was great. But as for the ikura... why is it so sweet? The ikura is marinated in a very SWEET sauce.... that I could hardly taste the special taste of the ikura itself. I just wanted to let the management know that that marinade sauce for the ikura is WAY too sweet!! Please highlight the taste of the ikura itself. 🙏🙏🙏“

“Food on buffet was cold that was suppose to be hot and old shrimp had been on the buffet so long it was dry smh a waste of money I would never go back there“

“great omakase good and fresh fish....not bad for Queens location“

“Good atmosphere! Great service. Delicious food.“

“I tried this spot a few weeks ago for the first time and I can't stop going back. The sushi is soo good great quality and taste is top tier but I came here to review the incredible service from the lovely people who work there. So kind they run a lovely cozy establishment and i'll be a customer forever! <3“

“We have been ordering here for years but the price keeps going up on their platters - we usually get the XL sushi sashimi roll platter. It’s $140 at time of this review. Some of the rolls have a Korean flair with Korean pickled radish in them. A lot of spicy mayo is drizzled over the smaller rolls so it’s hard to tell what type of fish/roll you’re eating so keep that in mind if you have guests. Easy to order because you can’t choose.“

“As a Japanese person, I have high standards about sushi. Let me tell you, Uotora is a hidden gem and the best sushi restaurant in NYC- you will get the same quality sushi as those $$$ sushi spots in Manhattan. I came here for my birthday and had the omakase. Can't wait to come again!“

“I’ve loved this place for years, but I just catered from them for the first time, and everything was perfect. The sushi was delicious, they kept the sushi with gluten in a separate container, they have party platters and party trays, and they sold me the perfect amount of food without being pressured to buy too much. The price was reasonable- actually incredible considering how delicious everything was, and everything came on time. I will definitely cater from them again.“

“This place is super safe especially with Outdoor dining and super super better than Mamasushi!“

“I visited 52nd Sushi with my family and had a good time. It is a small, cozy Japanese restaurant. The space is clean, friendly, and welcoming.

The sushi is fresh. The rolls are well made, and the presentation looks nice. The service is friendly too — people working there are polite and helpful.

Prices are reasonable for what you get. My daughter loves sushi from here. Her favorites are Spicy Tuna and crunchy Shrimp Tempura Roll.
Love it.“

“Best and most creative sushi ever. Have never tried an item on the menu that I didn’t like. ❤️“

“Good food everything is well made“

“Excellent mom-and-pop small sushi spot in the bigger shopping plaza. Parking is not easily found. Try to park on the neighboring streets.
The quality of sushi is good and they make sushi very fast while you wait even if your order is large.
They make lots of large boats orders and party platters.“

“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.“

“Ordered delivery from their website. Fast and super nice. Loved the presentation when unpacked. Edamame was still crisp and fresh, not soggy. Yellowtail jalapeño starter was just lovely. Loved Green Hulk special roll but next time I’ll ask for sauce on the side. Wasn’t worth a star deduction. Learned for next time.“

“Me and my son have been coming here for years for the lunch specials. The prices got pretty steep over time which I could understand in this economy now but they never compromise the quality of freshness here which always keeps me coming back. Great service and always recognized and welcomed. They’ve pretty much watched my son grow up and we always are excited to have our sushi date here no matter what time of year. Always great“

“The food is good. The store neat and clean.“

“Bai Sushi may seem like a small run-of-the-mill takeout restaurant from the outside, but they are so much more. The cozy atmosphere and welcoming staff make for a wonderful dining experience. The food is amazing (raw or cooked). There’s something for everyone who likes Sushi or Japanese cuisine. They also accommodate if you have dietary needs. Sit in or take out, DEFINITELY stop by!!!“

“Amazing food & great service!“

“I am bias , since i got a taste from this restaurant , whether lakewood or Flatbush , it’s always a delight. Never found any place that can match the Poke Ball they make. Its been 8yrs since i got to taste the food of “ THAT SUSHI SPOT” and every time it hits the SPOT!!… try it and you will never regret it.“

“Was super excited to try some rolls tonight after a 12 hour work day, but unfortunately after 45 minutes of waiting patiently inside for them to be prepared they still were not ready and hadn’t even been started to be made. Staff not entirely apologetic. Asked for refund and won’t be back.“

“Love this place. I've tried the chicken beef and shrimp and they're all fresh and good tasting. Sauce isn't overly sweet like a lot of teriyaki. I've had some of the sushi too and it's fresh and cheap. Very nice employees, family run place and they offer a super cheap student meal to the kids which is admirable because they're better off getting some fresh protein, rice, and veggies than other cheap fast food in the area“
