50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Glen Cove

“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“

“It was our first time there. We were celebrating our daughter's 7th birthday. They gave her free dessert with sparklers. The food (sushi and pineapple chicken) was fresh and excellent. The drinks were fun. The waitress was sweet and kind. We will definitely go back.“

“Dined here about a couple months ago and enjoyed the delicious food and good service. There's an entrance to the restaurant from the front exterior of the mall (near the parking lot) and another entrance just a few steps inside of the Broadway Mall. Restaurant was very clean, bright, and spacious; has a very good dining atmosphere and décor. Restaurant was quiet when dined here for lunch. Waiter was attentive and courteous. We had the kinya ramen combos with takoyaki and shrimp tempura. The ramen broth was rich and a little creamy, noodles were great, pork was delicious, but the ramen egg had a very strong chemical taste, like it was possibly over-marinated. I love the complimentary prawn chips; it's a wonderful childhood nostalgia snack. Overall, the food was satisfying, delicious, and very filling.“

“Amazing sushi bar and customer service!! 100% recommend!!!“

“Hibachi combo was so great and tasty I love the food and texture it was really good and a great portion of food it would fill you up if people were to ask what would be good to eat I would choose that plate of food as a selection to eat I would return back to eat more and the service was great“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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)“

“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!“

“Amazing food, great owners!“

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

“fresh and delicious! great customer service!“

“Best Japanese restaurant in westchester. Not your typical menu that you find at so called "popular" sushi restaurants. Food is authentic and incredibly tasty. It is paired with so many different flavors and textures creating an awesome dining experience.

The restaurant is on the smaller side so make a reservation if possible.

The bartender Kendra made great drinks and recommendations on food.

Parking: Plenty of street parking and paid lots.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is stairs to enter the building and I didn't see any ramps. I also am just going off memory and did not thoroughly look at this.“

“The freshest sushi you'll find.“

“Top notch sushi in a traditional Japanese sushi bar. Not glitzy, but for me it's all about the sushi. Service is fantastic, my green tea cup never got below half full before they were topping it up. Even the green tea and miso soup were really good and full of flavor, well above average.“

“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.“

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

“This is our FAVORITE place to get Raman! You can’t get any better than this! So delicious, always fresh, the staff is always so friendly and helpful. So many options on the menu, even some great options for Gluten free!! The size of the dishes is so much, we usually end up taking some home, I love it! The kimchi is the best and the crispy chicken bun is so fluffy and the chicken is so crispy! The soup is amazing and it fits perfectly with the toppings. It’s a very quick wait, always less than 10 minutes! Do yourself a favor and try it out!

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options“

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

“It’s a small ramen restaurant decorated with One Piece memorabilia. The service was good. We were seated right away and the waitress kept an eye on us the whole time making sure our water glass was full. The ramen was solid good and my husband had the tonkatsu (fried pork). The Chaysu Ramen had four pieces of fatty pork. The soup was a bit salty but went well with the noodles. The cabbage added some extra texture and needed fiber to the meal.“

“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+++++++++++++“

“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”“

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

“Great and attentive service. The menu was good but could be better by adding some non typical options (omakase)...I particularly enjoyed the 4 different sake tasting choices. I wouldn't choose the $10 selection as it lacked flavor. Overall, a good experience.“

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

“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 🍶 😊🍱🍣“

“Yummy food and very clean“

“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“

“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 .“

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

“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.“

“great food and service. must try the avocado salad with homemade dressing..“

“great food.very friendly. so much for your money.“

“Great environment and food selections 👍“

“Aki is a Japanese restaurant with an elegant environment and convenient parking. The previous owner of Aki was Japanese. The decoration design of the store is rich in Japanese style, and the food is authentic Japanese cuisine. After the epidemic, the store owner was changed to a Chinese, but the taste of the food has basically remained unchanged, and the price has not changed, and if you pay in cash, you will get a 5% discount. It can be said that the price/performance ratio is quite high. However, due to the general increase in prices after the epidemic, the portions of Aki's food have been slightly reduced than before, and now a lunch of sushi is a bit full.

Kid-friendliness: Japanese cuisine is suitable for all ages, and most of the guests who come to Aki to dine are families.“

“The food is spicy, delicious, and quick! If you like spicy food I would recommend coming here. Especially if you are looking for some non typical Chinese cuisine. They have a lot of variety and even have boba drinks but haven't tried the drinks.“

“Had a fantastic birthday/mother’s day celebration tonight! So happy to have a great restaurant to celebrate important events with the family! Such a huge selection all included in their base price! So so delicious and so reasonable! Can’t wait to come back again soon! Well done all!“

“Best sushi place I've had the pleasure to visit in a very long time. We thank our server, Maggi, and restaurant owner, Peter, for their expertise with gluten allergies!!! Strongly recommend anyone with Celiac to this restaurant!!! Awesome!!!“

“love the sushi here! servers are really nice and helpful. DJ plays all my favorite songs!“

“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.“

“Absolutely 💯 out of 10 Service Servers Food Experience Amazing!! do not miss out!! we will definitely be back!!“

“My husband and I used to live close to this restaurant and it was our favorite sushi!! We have since moved 45 min away and tried a few places closer to us……we have resorted to taking the 45min drive just to eat here because it truly is the best on Long Island!! 10/10

Just a few of our favorites:
The white dragon roll
The Mr. Rory Roll
The Out of Control Roll“

“We went to Jani for its Japanese cuisine and were not disappointed. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and made us feel welcome. The sushi was fantastic.“

“My dining experience at was absolutely flawless! From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the serene and elegant ambiance. The minimalist decor and soft lighting created a relaxing atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making me feel right at home.

The sushi itself was nothing short of extraordinary. Each piece was a masterpiece – the fish was incredibly fresh, and the rice was perfectly seasoned with just the right balance of warmth and acidity. Every bite melted in my mouth, leaving a lingering, delightful aftertaste. The [specific sushi dish] was a standout, with its complex flavors and textures that left me craving more.“

“Chefs are very good at entertaining! Not only that, but the food was amazing and definitely worth your time and money there. I hope to bring my family and friends there more often.“
