A Hidden Sushi Gem That Deserves a Spotlight!
Hazuki Sushi in Glen Cove is an absolute treasure — the kind of place you almost want to keep a secret but can’t help shouting from the rooftops. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted like family. The energy is warm, the smiles are genuine, and the service? Beyond phenomenal.
Now, let’s talk sushi: FRESH doesn’t even begin to describe it. Every bite is a burst of flavor, a dance of texture, a masterpiece on a plate. Their selection is outstanding — from melt-in-your-mouth toro to creative rolls that somehow taste even better than they look (and they look stunning).
Consistency is key, and Hazuki nails it every single time. It’s become a favorite for our whole family — even the kids are obsessed (and trust me, that says a lot).

If you’re searching for sushi that’s not just food but an experience — delicious, memorable, and absolutely worth the trip — Hazuki Sushi is it.

💫 11/10. A must-visit. A repeat visit. A forever favorite.“

“Oh boy where do I start Love sweet mandarin was very nice restaurant/ hibachi restaurant and very happy ambiance and the staff was wonderful. Everything taste so good from appetizers to drink and hibachi dinner for 3 adults and a child. Chef was excellent and very funny love it there. Can't wait to go back during the summer time and they also have a rooftop lounge what 😁“

“We celebrated my son’s 21st birthday yesterday and really enjoyed this hibachi experience! Ted and team were professional, friendly and provided a great entertainment to all! Thank you so much from our family!🎈🎊🎉“

“This the 2nd time I was here and they do not disappoint. The 1st pic was the pork soup, the 2nd pic which is fron my 1st visit was the wonton soup which is my favorite. The pork one is good, but the soup tastes like gravy it was a bit much for me. And the 3rd pic is the chips very light I luv love them. Oh, and I had a glass of mohito“

“Calming atmosphere delicious food!“

“My family and I celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday with a dinner for ten at Tiger Sushi in Great Neck today, and it was a truly spectacular experience!

We decided to keep things easy and celebratory by ordering three of the restaurant's party platter dishes to share. This was a fantastic decision. The quality was super across the board. Every piece of sushi, sashimi, and every roll was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. You could tell that the fish was of the highest grade, practically melting in your mouth.

The platters were not only generous in portion but also artfully arranged, making our table look incredibly festive. Even with our large group of ten, the three platters provided more than enough variety and food for everyone to enjoy their fill.

From start to finish, the food was the highlight—authentic, fresh, and exceptionally high quality. If you're looking for a special place to celebrate a milestone with a large group, or just want to enjoy some truly great Japanese cuisine, Tiger Sushi is highly recommended. It was the perfect meal for a perfect family celebration!“

“This elegant sushi spot is a true gem serving everything from ultra-fresh sashimi to creative à la carte dishes—all packed with authentic Japanese flavor. 🍣

The sashimi was incredibly fresh, but the pizza sushi completely stole the show—crispy, flavorful, and unlike anything I’ve had before.

If you're craving top-tier sushi without the Manhattan crowds, this is your sign. Save this spot—you’ll thank me later. 😉🫶“

“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!“

“Best sushi in Long Island“

“fresh and delicious! great customer service!“

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

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

“Mufu is a hidden gem! Their poke bowls are super fresh and flavorful! I had pineapple, chicken, and brown rice, and it all came together perfectly. The restaurant is spotless, and the service was fast and welcoming. I’d 100% come back again! Sooo delicious!“

“I am a famously fussy eater and vegetarian, so most of the time if my loved ones are getting sushi I either don’t eat at the restaurant or get a small side dish that I can have. At Hajime they had so many options that I could choose from I was very surprised.
I really wanted the fried noodles but it came with chicken and vegetables, but our very friendly waiter said without the chicken was really no problem. I also let him know that I can’t have any spice and he reassured me when I ordered and again when it arrived that there was no spice and he even waited for me to take a mouthful of a food to ensure it was okay for me. I’ve never felt so cared about in a restaurant before and I was so grateful to him for caring about a seemingly fussy girl.

We genuinely had the best time here for my fiancés birthday, and after our entrees they brought us a huge plate of different sorbets with a candle in. We had no idea they were doing this and it was such a thoughtful touch.
I very much got the vibe of a family business that has been around a while, quietly serving the most delicious food. Truly a hidden gem! We have agreed that we will go out of our way to travel the half an hour it takes to get here just for this place. The atmosphere and hospitality is unmatched. Thank you so much!“

“The best sushi you will ever have. The rest of the food is just as good. Friendly helpful staff. This is my family’s favorite spot.“

“I haven't been to Oko in a couple of years but my daughter wanted to try it and I was so pleased we gave it another try. The ambience and music was a 10! As my daughter said it gives off a NYC vibe inside. The hand rolls were phenomenal. The pieces were all delicious. It is expensive but inventive and delivers. I will be back. I love the front window table and thankfully have always seemed to get it.“

“With so many options in the area, it would seem crazy to suggest that Kaiyo could possibly set itself apart. I mean, it's not like the menu is wildly original or anything. However, somehow, Kaiyo's fish selection finds itself absolutely on another level. Sashimi heads rejoice.“

“Excellent Asian fusion cuisine and great ambiance-at reasonable prices! Great drinks too!“

“Love this place so much! The food is amazing, never been disappointed, the yakitori, nabe, octopus salad, mocktails, happy hour deals are great!! The service is on point, and food comes out quickly, as it should for an izakaya. The interior decor is super cute, with lantern lights, cat posters, and one piece anime everywhere.“

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

“This place is great. Ate here multiple times and each time it was good. Ramen especially very good. servers are very friendly. Only thing is the chair on one side is the bench type without back so it can be little bit uncomfortable. But this is one of those places that you can keep come back to and you won't be disappointed with food each time.“

“Steven and his staff are the best! Food is fresh, well presented and delicious! Very attentive service! Thank you for taking my challenge and crushing it. I walked in and said feed me with no holding back. I did not even look at a menu And they knocked it out of the park! Thank you again!!! Until next time!🙏 A+++++++++++++“

“great Arata special sushi Rolls were awesome! All around great sushi meal!!!“

“I enjoyed the ramen very much

You walk up and order your meal, and I recieved it very quickly

As an anime fan, I enjoyed the atmosphere very much, ramen is a common reoccurring meal in the anime Naruto, which is prominently used for decoration

They also have the largest portion of pork chashu I have ever had and It was delicious and chared to perfection“

“The freshest sushi you'll find.“

“The forever 21 roll is bangin. I also really enjoyed the lady gaga roll.

The other ones pictured are the spicy salmon and the sweet heart roll. They were also good but the above two I mentioned were better. Fish was very fresh.

My server was very nice and always filled up my water.“

“The service is great. The people are even better. This place reminds me of why I fell in love sushi in the first place. The sushi is super fresh. I am allergic to shellfish and I have never had a problem with cross contamination. I love the bodywork’s! I highly recommend it!!!“

“Great place“

“We had the rainbow roll, maki combo w/tuna maki, salmon maki, and crab maki and an eel maki combo and everything was absolutely fresh and delicious. Great portions, excellent presentation, and the service was on time, courteous, and friendly. Highly recommend Samurai Sushi of Williston Park.“

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

“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.“

“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.

“all you can eattttttt...“

“Great Hibachi experience! Staff friendly & service was good. Food was delicious!“

“Best sushi I’ve had! They have Karaoke nights on Thursdays and it’s a lot of fun!!!“

“KINHA SUSHI IS THE SPOT!!

The atmosphere is amazing and the food is too good. My server made great suggestions. I love sushi but my Dad is not for raw fish. So I'm always looking for a spot that gives me that sea and land mix for him. Kinha is that perfect balance. Great for father-daughter dinners.

He says it's a little better than our usual spot in RVC.

Important tips: Remember to go in through the back where there's parking!“

“Great vibe and food! Excellent service“

“It’s a tradition in my family!! We always have the best time. It’s local and the people make it special. They were all awesome to my Granddaughter . I’m a customer and a fan.“

“It is clean, balanced portions of food, I had the combo shrimp & filet mignon steak, very good at reasonable $, I think it's ,the best combo! including miso soup & choice of ice cream,I had Pistachios with marischino cherries. overall great 👍 thumbs up!“

“Great People and Great Food!!“

“Food is always fresh, innovative and delicious. cons service: you feel like you are on a 1/2 hour lunch “rush” no matter day or evening. While enjoying your appetizer and warm sake, the wait staff piles down your entree …. I’ve learned to order my entree after I’ve completely finished my app. going for years, wait staff no personable skills though very polite. Decor cosmopolitan, they spent a lot of money on the chairs but now the faux leather vinyl is sagging, peeling and it’s hard to find a comfortable seat. I overall love and support this hidden diamond in the rough Asian restaurant“
