If I didn't know the sushi chef, I might have walked away at the door. This restaurant looked old from outside and dark inside. My children actually questioned did we go to the correct restaurant because i am quite picky?The food was fresh as usual from the chef I knew. The waiter and waitress were friendly. The owner was very friendly too. It was a good dinner with my family.

Ordered take out from here several times as it's one of the few sushi places we keep in rotation when we are craving sushi. The service is great as the food is always prepared quickly and packaged well. The rolls are delicious and very satisfying. My boyfriend's favorite of this order was the sushi ya roll and my favorite was the Eric-San roll but I requested it without eel and extra tuna. The beef fried rice was made well, not too oily and flavorful. The restaurant is in a perfect location right across from cold stone and chip city. Highly recommend!

Ordered the sashimi appetizer and Alaska roll for takeout. Roll was salty but fine, sashimi however was really bad, wound up not eating it. Weird chewy texture, smell off one of the fish, and small sloppy cuts. I don't like leaving bad reviews but can't believe they served it in that condition.

Excellent quality sushi, nice traditional atmosphere and attentive service that's also very kid friendly. We did the omakase which was fantastic, quite a wide variety of inventive dishes and presentations that change frequently. Will return!

We arrived at 9:30 on a Monday night, just before the 10 pm closing time, seeking a quick bite. Despite finishing by 10:06 pm, the experience was disappointing. Our order included two rainbow rolls and a specialty roll with mango, and unfortunately, the sushi fell below the standards of even gas station or grocery store sushi. This stands as the worst sushi experience I've had on Long Island – the rolls were poorly made, dry, and tasted horrible. The subpar quality, especially given the price, has led me to decide i will never come back here again. I strongly advise against choosing this place for sushi; opting for grocery store sushi would likely yield a better experience. This establishment doesn't deserve your business.

We visited here for the first time since moving into town 2 years ago. The food was decent but seemed overpriced. There are other options like Taku (even though it is not known as a sushi restaurant) that has better food and is cheaper. Also, this place charges a "non-cash fee" which is unfortunate.

Good sushi, usually order takeout, fast service, have to pay extra for spicy Mayo though, teriyaki salmon was good too.
First time here . We ordered sushi and ramen. We arrived at lunch time , they only offered dinner menu. I had to ask for the lunch menu… The food was decent but the service wasn’t welcoming. I will not

Good but not great. Pretty good sushi , plenty to choose from. The spring rolls are a bit too oily.

I simply cannot rate Sushi Ya Garden City highly enough. We live in Delaware and it is our favorite sushi place because nothing in Delaware measures up. Kelly and Eric the owners are fantastic, and everything they make is devine. The quality and selection of sushi and sashimi is outstanding. The little touches like fresh wasabi (as opposed to the usual little green ball) are excellent. The pineapple fried rice served in a half pineapple shell are to die for. Hibachi is available. Simply in ambiance, service, and quality there is simply no place that is better. Give yourself a treat and spend some time here.Parking: There is a lot behind the restaurant.

Sushi Ya is a pretty solid sushi place tucked away in Nassau. It is conveniently right next to a Chip if you're feeling dessert after! My friend and I went and had the sushi + sashimi plate and it was the right amount of food- not too much and not too little. I've had better sashimi but it wasn't bad. What made the meal full circle IMHO were the strong and inexpensive drinks. I forgot exactly what I got it was something with passion fruit but it was absolutely delicious and definitely strong- it's a current trend in the city to skimp on the alcohol so nice to know that places in LI don't, at least not Sushi Ya haha. All in all, I would visit again if the opportunity arises.

Great, spacious location. Vast selection of fresh menu items. Great staff as well! In an area full of great restaurants, Sushi YA excels!
