50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Garden City Park

“There is a menu up at the very front of the store which I liked because I enjoy reading through the menu without being rushed to order. Then you walk up and tell the cashier what you want and you get your food within 10 minutes which is steaming hot. The portion sizes are larger than other spots I’ve tried and the food is delicious especially with the sauce they add on top. The fried rice was a bit underwhelming but the browning on the chicken more than makes up for it. Great spot if you’re looking for a quick lunch that will fill you up and warm you up.“

“Great People and Great Food!!“

“Otaki Sushi truly exceeded my expectations with their fresh and delicious sushi offerings. Every bite was a delight, showcasing their commitment to quality and flavor.

If you're looking for outstanding sushi in a great atmosphere, Otaki Sushi is the place to be. Highly recommended!"

“The food was very good. The Ramen bowls were large and filling. You should try the sushi tacos! It’s a seaweed wrap make to look like tacos!
We really wanted to try the shaved ice, but they didn’t have the strawberry syrup, and the worker who makes it was out ??‍♀️.
Will definitely return another time.“

“Great service and fresh fish!!“

“Yoho Japanese is THE BEST!

Ive had my eye on Yoho ever since they opened I really wanted to try! finally last night was my chance to try it for dinner and they did not disappoint!!! everything was cooked to perfection and the food came in a reasonable time. They included all utensils and chopsticks, which I loved because it makes it easier to just chow down! The website is also very easy to order on and I really enjoyed my experience with Yoho! Will definitely be recommending to family and friends and will definitely order again!“

“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!“

“The Atmosphere is so chill and the food is amazing. You have to try the coconut cake and the coconut pudding. It’s homemade and made with fresh coconut water. Please continue to support them as they are an amazing and friendly business. You won’t be sorry. It’s very demure very cutesy ?

“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!“

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

“We went there for Dinner after a golf game. I picked this restaurant because it has good reviews on google. It turns out a good choice. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with cozy lighting and modern decor that created a relaxing mood. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Sashimi are very fresh and tasty. will definately come back again.“

“Best sushi in Long Island“

“I've had take out from Kuryu a few times and originally i was like, "yikes, portions are small!" however, after adjusting my expectations about the quantity, i've come to appreciate the quality of the raw seafood they serve. Tbh, i won't eat anything raw anymore unless it's truly fresh and hopefully chemical and preservative free, which is hard to find these days.
I've had their omakase which was amazing - the uni was succulent and sweet! Spicy tuna rolls are usually what I order so the lunch special spicy roll combo is my goto. It's a better deal since 2 of the individual rolls are approximately equivalent in price to the 3 spicy roll combo. If you love crab like i do, the upgraded Kuryu california roll is topped with real delicious crab. Anytime I feel a hankering for raw sushi, this is where i'm going. I do find Kuryu's hours are rather inconvenient and they do book up for dining in (which doesn't bother me as their ambiance is meh)“

“Kaiyo has become our new sushi spot. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. Also the hot food is spot on, the tempura and teriyaki is fantastic. The atmosphere is perfect for a peaceful and quiet meal. The staff is always so friendly and polite. My family and I highly recommend Kaiyo for delicious sushi and Japanese cuisine.“

“Friendly staff. Special price on Mondays for mazesoba dishes. The bao served like tacos are absolutely delicious.“

“fresh and delicious! great customer service!“

“The freshest sushi you'll find.“

“Came here for lunch and it was great. Wonderful portion size and a good selection of bento box. Not served in a traditional bento box but a 4-sectioned plate. Soup and salad served separately. Price is reasonable. Attentative staffs. Will return in the future.

Parking: Parking lot behind the building“

“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!“

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

“Honestly I haven't had sushi this fresh and high quality in a long time. Even the mango was perfectly ripe
(which is hit or miss at most restaurants). The salad greens were fresh and not wilted . I was impressed and will definitely go back.“

“I love this place. Sushi and cheap drinks, good drinks too! Way better than Tobiko by King Kullen. Staff is super friendly and the place is nicely decorated, chill music not too loud, and they deliver! I hope this place stays here, really awesome. I always stop in whenever I'm around
Edit 2024: They no longer deliver :(
But the quality has not declined!“

“Must try the Swan bowl = 10/10“

“Absolutely great service, cozy environment, and good food and drinks. Our server was great with recommendations and so friendly.
Happy hour prices are a bonus too!

We had the chicken Kara-age, takoyaki, steamed spicy clams, and variety of yakitori—chicken thigh with scallion, eggplant, shrimp, pork belly with mochi and enoki, and Kuro sausage with green peppers. Drink was “To Yuzu”“

“Was looking for a new sushi spot & found it. Great location. Very spacious restaurant with a nice atmosphere.
? the quality of food was very good. Everything we got felt very fresh.
? our waitress last night seemed overwhelmed, we had to keep trying hard to get her attention.
? so we got the maki combo to start & we chose option B with miso soup, it was very good.
? from the special rolls we got the the
-Tiffany Roll . So delicious! It’s heavy, but very good.
-sushi sandwich - it was good, but it needed something crispy to hold & feel it…felt very mushy eating it…so it wasn’t a pleasant experience
-drank hot tea

Overall definitely recommend!

“Great place“

“Go. If you Love Sushi. Yahao gets it more than right! Food is exceptional. Sushi ordered so wonderfully dang fresh , clean and robust. We ordered even more. I had gotten an order of soba noodles with beef. Excellent flavor! Our servers were patient , polite and helpful. We had a very enjoyable night. Kanpai 🍶 😊🍱🍣“

“The ramen here has a rich flavor, and the broth is pure. Many restaurants serve Japanese ramen with broth that's not hot enough, but that's not the case here. Every time, it comes out piping hot, a bowl of authentic and delicious ramen. I'm a loyal fan, and new customers should definitely give it a try.“

“I went here for my birthday and the food was phenomenal. The chef was super friendly. The service was attentive while not being too pushy and asking customers if they want anything else. They even cater to toddlers as well and that's always a great plus. The bathrooms are tidy and the host was quick to assist us.“

“Great food, great service😊“

“Yummy food and very clean“

“Came from out of town. Went to one Chinese place my mom stopped me and said no go to legends. Legends was closed so I looked up a highly rated spot and boom this place came up. AND LET ME TELL YOU… this place lived up to its high rating. Five star Chinese food. Definitely order from here. Staff were extremely courteous, kind and very pleasant happy woman at the counter. Even better than legends!!! No brainer… go eat and be merry!“

“Chicken and steak hibachi was fire. Good portion of meat for the money, the meat actually tasted good, the fried rice tasted good and that white sauce they provided went nicely with the food. Also got some fried pork gyoza and that was okay, nothing special. Hibachi here is definitely on point, I'm surprised it took me so long to check it out after getting recommendations from my coworkers. It goes without saying, I'll definitely be back and I'd recommend ordering your food online and going to pick it up to minimize wait times, especially since parking around there isn't really abundant.“

“Food is fresh and presented beautifully. A bit on the expensive side but the quality of the fish is superb. I recommend salmon avocado salad and salmon carpaccio, especially the latter.“

“Omg this place makes great food. Get the hamburger. I was so impressed with the quality, presentation and flavor. This is one special spot.“

“Authentic Japanese cuisine Family owed Clean Excellent service and friendly“

“Love their sushi! Great service and friendly staff. Good prices. The first time I went there I wanted salmon roses and they didn’t sell it, and it’s also not common around here and I asked them can they make it for me and they did ! They were ao nice ! And guess what now it’s on the menu, go and enjoy it ! Lovely place“

“Authentic Omakase experience in Queens. A hidden gem among many who try to imitate it - fresh fish, experienced and eager staff, overall great experience.“

“Shogun Japan is a gem for sushi lovers, offering an authentic experience that delights from start to finish. The moment you step in, the serene, beautiful décor sets the tone for a meal that's both intimate and exceptional. The sushi here is simply outstanding—every piece is fresh, beautifully presented, and crafted with care. Opting for the sushi dinner choice was a highlight. Allowing the chef's expertise to shine through in a perfectly balanced progression is a top choice for anyone. They also have other menu items like fried rice , rolls, calamari, dumplings, and so much .“

“i got the teriyaki chicken and shrimp and it was so good! my boyfriend got it a week before and gave me a bite. had me craving it for a week and when i finally got it, did not disappoint. we split a plate and it was more than enough for both of us come come come !“

“Always good, all the time. Been going to Komo for some time. I enjoy the sushi. From special rolls to the simple and classic, always fresh and delicious. My wife gets their hot food, also very good. For takeout or dine in, give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.

Parking: Park in the lot behind the restaurant if you can't find a spot on the street.“

“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.“

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