“The food is cute not enough for the prize, and the waitress was nice, but the waiter harassed three separate times about a tip because of such he did not receive a tip“

“FANTASTIC! I have been to ALOT of ramen spots in Long Island and this is among the top 5% best ramen. I sat inside for lunch. Incredibly rich broth. Chashu that does not taste old or too much fat - it was amazing. They did not skip out on toppings. I really recommend this spot :)“

“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!🎈🎊🎉“

“I rarely leave reviews at a restaurant and this is my first 5 star. It has been a long long time I was this pleased about sushi. I’m from Florida and sushi there is much more expensive and less fresh. This place is awesome! Thanks Tiger“

“Ocean Code Handroll Bar delivers an exceptional sushi experience with fresh ingredients and beautifully crafted handrolls. The nori is crisp, the rice is perfectly seasoned, and the fish tastes incredibly fresh. The modern, welcoming atmosphere and attentive service make it a great spot for both casual dining and special occasions. Highly recommended for sushi lovers.“

“Had a fantastic dinner at Masaaki in Bayside. The $138/17-course menu is a steal – beautifully designed, great ingredients for the price. Highlights: bluefin tuna, seasonal firefly squid, and three rounds of premium Japanese sea urchin (my boyfriend was thrilled). The sushi progression makes sense, and the gold-leaf tuna with edible glitter spray is a fun touch. The chef is Chinese and super friendly – gave us great tips on handling fish. Much better than schlepping into Manhattan. Highly recommend if you’re nearby!“

“Best sushi in Long Island“

“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!“

“fresh and delicious! great customer service!“

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

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

“Yummy food and very clean“

“This spot is a neighborhood GEM. I hope the people living here know this. Best Sushi and sashimi for miles around. Solid everytime. The fish is kept well and served well. The whole family works here and they are so nice and friendly. The dad who is the sushi chef has one of the fastest hands around. He just cranks the orders out like butter. The store has about 6 tables but they are never packed. But while I dine in the takeout orders are endless. This man can handle it all and still can chat with you.I wish I lived nearby.... Lucky you, Mineola...“

“I chose the sushi deluxe, and I guess it’s similar to an omakase style. They told me it would be 9 pieces with one roll, and honestly, all the selections were great. The fish was very fresh and high quality. I was also really impressed by their service.

My friend and I were deep in conversation and lost track of time, but they never rushed us to leave. I will definitely be coming back and will make a reservation next time (we were lucky to get seats with no wait just by walking in)!“

“It is basically like Panda. The sushi was very good
The winner was the chicken with the soy sauce they make it is fabulous! We did order big fruit drinks #6 yes that is true. they were not bad. .the green hot tea was good too.“

“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.“

“If you find yourself wandering through Rye and craving a culinary experience that feels both sophisticated and soul-warming, Oko is the absolute gold standard for modern Japanese fare. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between minimalist chic and neighborhood warmth, making it an ideal spot for a curated dinner that never feels stuffy.

​The craftsmanship behind each piece of scallop nigiri is evident in the way the flavors are balanced, providing a clean yet incredibly rich profile that lingers just long enough on the palate. It is rare to find seafood handled with such reverence, where the natural brininess of the scallop is elevated rather than masked by unnecessary garnishes. Each bite feels like a celebratory nod to traditional techniques reimagined for a contemporary audience, and it is honestly worth the trip to Rye for this dish alone. Oko delivers an unforgettable bite that will have you planning your return before the check even hits the table.“

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

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

“Has become my favorite local place to eat. Whether with family friends or by myself. They are so friendly and accommodating. A must try!“

“Excellent food and service.“

“We moved from Port Washington to MA this May and have been unable to find a spot that offers everything that Aki does, not to mention at the same quality! They just execute everything so well. It was our go to for sushi, we loved the apps (the crispy rice and jalapeño yellowtail are fire), and loved also having options for classic Chinese food. We loved that it offered a little bit of everything. We only ever ordered takeout but the service was always top notch too. We love and miss you Aki!“

“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“

“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+++++++++++++“

“Excellent food, service was outstanding and great atmosphere. Have not been here for awhile will definitely being going back regularly.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“What a great experience. The Sushi was the best we’ve ever had. The freshness and the presentation of every plate was a work of art. The owner, Steve welcomed us as if we were part of the family. Could not have asked for a better experience. The service is top notch.“

“The freshest sushi you'll find.“

“Amazing restaurant with great priced sushi! The server is very kind and always attentive. Makes sure the water is always filled and that we are enjoying the food. Everything comes out quickly, we never have to wait for long. Highly recommend!“

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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“

“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 🍶 😊🍱🍣“

“This is the second time my company dined in for a team dinner and we had the best experience on both occasions. Food always comes out quick and the service is super kind. Shout out to Maggy for attending our team with such kindness and care! Would definitely have more team dinners at DD!“

“Great environment and food selections 👍“

“Great People and Great Food!!“

“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.“

“I love coming here but this is the first time I've been really disappointed. I ordered their tartar and typically a restaurant gives you chips to eat with it, but they gave three Pringles for the large amount of tartar, which is really unreasonable and when I asked for more they gave exactly 3 again. So while I would return, I would never order that again. “

“Great vibe and food! Excellent service“

“Great place“

“Went here on a date with my husband and it was such a lovely experience. The food was fresh and beautifully prepared, and everything tasted high quality. The atmosphere feels a bit more intimate and special, which makes it perfect for a date night. Service was attentive and thoughtful, and the pacing of the meal was great. It’s not a cheap night out, but it feels worth it for the quality and overall experience. Definitely a place I’d return to for a special occasion.“

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

“The quality of food is truly so good. Hand rolls are stuffed and each bite of fish is so buttery and fresh. I couldn’t really taste the difference between sushi places until coming here and now I can’t go back. Chef kama and chef komodo’s craftsmanship shows. For kitchen entrees, there hasn’t been one thing I’ve tried that’s bad and just a great variety of selection. I’d definitely come any days besides Saturdays or at least before 8pm on Sat to avoid the rush.“

“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.“

“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.“
