We ordered quite a bunch of different things from the appetizers as well as an Old Bay shrimp boil and a Mussels boil. Calamari was ultra tender. Healthy portions, healthy food and reasonable prices!The walls are alive with tropical fishes swimming as beaming from overhead projectors.Looks like quite a bar too;though we were there for an early dinner.Highly recommend.I don’t understand the negative reviews from a year and more ago. This place only opened six weeks ago.“

“here you will find unassuming decor and fantastic quality fish.not your typical strip mall sushi joint. Taka offers Tokyo level quality sushi; authentic, fresh, minimalistic. well worth a 45 min drive. try the omakase. i have been coming here for over 7 years and have never been disappointed.“

“If you are looking for the best sushi on Long Island FUKEE is the spot. I have been to my fair share of sushi places and nothing even comes close to the freshness and quality here. Spicy kani rolls, shrimp tempura, spicy tuna rolls, green salad and miso soup are literally the best I’ve ever had in my life. I’ve been on a 60 day cleanse and I’m counting down the days it’s over so I can get FUKEE again. I usually get it a few nights a week and every night it’s better and better if that’s even possible! I cannot say enough great things about this spot!! If you never had it; this is your sign to go, you won’t be disappointed! They have a customer for life, words can’t describe how much I love this place <3“

“This place is great it’s pretty new and I’ve come a couple times already. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. It’s also very clean and the staff is so nice. You get a free entre with every 6th purchase as well.“

“I've been both dining in and getting take out for some 20 + years now from Bonsai when visiting Port Washington. The food is always very tasty and well cooked; the service fast and reliable; and the prices very reasonable. Highly recommend“

“Walked in and they were playing queen (loved it!). Ok, now onto what you're looking for. The place is VERY tiny, so I don't recommend a group gathering. The food is yummy, and the sushi is fresh. It looked as if it was "the spot" for take out because so many people came and went. There are a few tables so show up.“

“Fresh and great quality sashimi/sushi, especially for the price! It’s a small shop so we always get take out and it never disappoints. The salmon nigiri is the star of the show for sure! The spicy tuna is great too if you like it on the spicier side ;DPicture: Dragon roll + medium nigiri sashimi sushi roll combo $97“

“This is hands down the best restaraunt on LOng Island. No one is doing flavors like Tiga. My boyfriend and I were driving to this place almost weekly and it's 45 min away from us. Everything is amazing but TRUST ME when I say you need the Foxy Lady roll. Also the server Jennifer is beyond explanatory, kind, and enthusiastic. We always ask to be sat in her section bc she is the BEST. 10/10“

“A hidden gem! A quaint spot where you really feel like an insider that knows the best kept secret.... that Sushi Palace in West Hempstead is one of is not the best sushi spot on Long Island! Mai the owner makes you feel like family and if you go as much as I do she'll even remember your order lol I always recommend this place to any sushi snob such as myself. They use the freshest ingredients with Sushi and sashimi that literally melts in your mouth. They offer other yummy Japanese food as well. Support a local business that seriously delivers every single time, you will not be disappointed.“

“We have been coming here for over half a year and it’s our go to spot for sushi. It’s the only place outside of Manhattan where we can get fish that doesn’t cause my skin to react. The quality and preparation is ways above the local sushi joints.“

“Restaurant is super cute, with just enough seating for a couple groups. Onigiri was delicious! I loved the different options available, and was super happy that they had vegan options because it gives me another place to go with friends who have food restrictions! Also, the tea was super yummy and had tons of customization options. To top it off, the woman working there was super nice and informative and patient! Definitely going back!!Dietary restrictions: Vegan options available! They had 4 different rice balls that were listed vegan.Wheelchair accessibility: There’s handicap parking, and the tables have separate chairs, and there’s plenty of room to move“

“Came for lunch with colleagues during work. We jumped in so fast couldn't take a pick. We were seated quickly and the serve was polite. She was the only one working so service was moderate but not bad. We all had ne of lunch specials. The sushi was fresh and tasty very filling. I would go again.“

“Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant! Quality is amazing. We order from here a lot, and they package everything so organized, provide chopsticks, soy sauce and deliver in a quick manner. Hot food we order is always still hot upon arrival! Highly suggest!“

“Love this place, the drinks are great, the fried oysters are to die for! And the rolls are pretty good as well, Staff is very friendlyParking: Decent sized parking lot but there are alot of other businesses in the strip so it depends on how busy everyone is and when you go“

“Sakana is fantastic and never fails to deliver. We order takeout once a week if not more frequently and the sushi is always fresh and best of all it’s extremely consistent. Cindy is amazing and works hard to make sure orders are correct and made on time. This is our go to when we have guests and have only positive things to say about the food! I love that they have Japanese as well as Chinese, nothing like a few california rolls, some shrimp tempura, and some general Tao Chicken- always a hit!! Can’t recommend this family owned business enough!“

“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“

“Very nicely decorated, great ambiance, great selection of music, service was second to none, and the food was excellent. Ordered shrimp shumai, steamed vegetables with dipping sauce, unagi don, sushi combo 2, and green tea/tempura ice cream.Good portions, reasonable pricing, fresh, and incredibly satisfying, will definitely be back again!“

“This is an amazing place to eat lunch or dinner! Everyone is very kind and respectful. They have great service and everyone is always smiling! I come here all the time with family and friends and they all love it! I highly recommend everyone to come here! Absolutely amazing?“

“What a treat eating chicken katsu and sushi, all gluten free! The waitress was very kind and mentioned that almost everything on the menu could be made gluten free safely. The restaurant was a little small on the inside so I was glad we made reservations, hoping some day they'll make it easier to order gluten free take out online.“

“We've been here so many times, and every time is wonderful! We love it so much that we went on Christmas day the past 3 years!This one chef automatically knows how we like our steak cooked, and that we like double yummy yummy sauce! 10/10 every time!“

“Everything about this experience was top notch: food, service, and atmosphere. Everything about the place really lets the food shine, though. We had the sushi plates where the chef chooses. Every bite was better than the last. If I had one note, it would be to please tell me what everything is when setting the plate down! I thought I knew, but quickly realized that I wasn't familiar with everything. I'll have to go back soon so I can try it all again and ask.“

“Sexy chic vibe, tasty meal. We ordered the cucumber salad (great), ribs app (might skip next time), eel futomaki (highly recommend), salmon reg roll (skip), spicy tuna roll (skip), and the waygu fried rice (good but would try something else next time). Prices are def steep but good quality. Would return for a date night or drinks and light bite.“

“1. Run, don't walk to Osaka! 2. Order extra of the spicy kani salad 3. Order everything! It's OK, you can afford it, the prices are incredible. 4. Enjoy! Go about the rest of your trip... dream about spicy kani salad. 1. Come back 2. Find out their closed 3. Cry Go about the trip again! 1. Come back 2. Order 3 more spicy Kani as everyone in your group who wasn't here before freaks out about how amazing everything is... 3. Cry about going back to FL where there is no Spicy Kani Salad“

“First time we were here, for lunch, the food and quality was truly amazing. The pieces were above normal size and taste were amazing. Perhaps was because they just open for business? Our second visit it not as first time, the sashimi and sushi got smaller and now it is normal just like any other sushi place. I wish the restaurant focus more on quality and quantity, not trying to cut back and cut corner. This would bring back customers constantly....“

“Fresh, delicious food at very reasonable price, paired with great, friendly service --- what else can one ask for? Perhaps a variety of Asian food including quality sushi, poke bowls and ramen dishes? Yep - they have you covered in a clean dining room. Even the fish in the aquarium at the entrance are well-behaved and wish you a "bon apetit" when you enter! [Just kidding, but only about that last part]. Happy that we found this place, and will be back!“

“We loved our dinner at Ichi. The place is very clean, pleasant lighting and music in the background. Extensive and interesting menu. Food arrived in 10-15 minutes. Fish tastes great and fresh.We ordered the tuna pepper avocado roll and salmon teriyaki bento box. This comes with side of salad and miso soup.Perfect quantity for two people and we enjoyed every item in the box ( shrimp tempura, shumai, corn). The salmon teriyaki had the perfect crunch to it.Highly recommend“

“I went with my boyfriend on my birthday, it was a Wednesday very quiet day, the environment was clean and very shiny. I really like it $22 per person wasn’t that expensive, but I wish that the meat was also including but we didn’t order any meat I had like a lot of udon ordered a tomato soup base it was good, the waitress was very kind and respectful and keep checking on us! The vanilla ice cream was good hehe, wish they also have chocolate but overall, it was worth it, super comfortable place too the good thing about is they have a Parking lot! The sauce I made was amazing can’t wait to visit again“

“8 years after the first time I stepped in here; and if anything, the food has gotten better! Service is fantastic. Always so eager to help. You can always hear one of the servers explaining to a new customer, the difference in fish and their flavor/texture profile. It's a smaller place but cozy and not cramped. I prefer the sushi counter but anywhere is a good time since the food is out of this world.“

“I've been here three times with three different groups of friends and they've all loved this place. I always get sushi however one person I went with didn't eat sushi, but he loved the General Tso's chicken. They have a great assortment and diversity of selections on their menu. Their sushi is very fresh, beautifully presented and melts in your mouth. There are plenty of cooked options as well for people who do not eat sushi. The ambience is nice with a smaller sized dining room, and the service is outstanding. It's nice because the servers are on top of your meal/order without being on top of your table. I highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to go back again.“

“The food is delicious and fresh. We also have food allergies and they call to double check, which is great. My only issue is the last two times I placed online orders they corrected the total and charged me extra for “add ons”. I had zero add ons both times. In fact the only thing I asked for was for them to NOT use sesame seeds or seaweed paper because of an allergy. So because they’re omitting something, instead of charging me the same or less, they charge more?? That doesn’t seem right.“

“We usually don’t lost reviews, but what a great overall Asian fare. Consistent. Good food. Many options. Reliable, and the service is unmatched. Thomas always takes care of us — and we have a plethora of allergies and “special requests.” Really hard working people in a great atmosphere at reasonable prices. Great for people with celiac or gluten sensitivity.“

“I have never dined in here, but the space is cozy and pleasant when I go to pick up food. I also haven’t done delivery, so can’t speak to that. I’ve been ordering from Mizuno since 2019 at least. Their sushi and food is consistently fresh and delicious. Picking up is fast and easy. The packaging for takeout is excellent and protects the integrity of the food and flavor. They are a hidden gem on Long Island. 100% recommend them to anyone.“

“Great spot to grab some sushi. They have loads of other dishes too like udon, yakisoba and bento boxes. There is a decent assortment of sake too l. We dined in and the wait can be a bit long depending on how busy the establishment is. There were a lot of people picking up phone orders. We ordered a bunch of rolls, some "otoro" fatty tuna nigiri and some apps. The sushi was decent, nothing amazing but wasn't low quality either. My favorite roll was the 73rd street roll which is topped with pieces of Mango and has a bit of jalepeno in it. The otoro nigiri was amazing though since the fatty tuna just melts in your mouth. Overall this a good spot if you are in the mood for sushi.“

“This is an authentic Japanese restaurant with friendly service and a menu that makes you feel like you are at their home. The sushi is traditional that uses high quality fish that doesn't get masked by sauces and spices like other "modern" sushi joints. If you are looking for a family friendly great neighborhood Japanese restaurant with great quality food and service, this is the place. If you are looking for creative rolls with flashy names and secret sauces, then maybe it's not what you are looking for. I'm never disappointed by Yamaguchi.“

“This was maybe my second or third time ordering here. I’ve always passed the restaurant and thought nothing of it until someone wanted bubble tea and asked to go here. That was my first time stepping into Dango. I didn’t realize there was food. I have to say: hands down best customer service ever. The honey pineapple chicken was my favorite. I always add extra rice cake with it. Their rice dishes are great too. For the price, you do get a lot of food. I haven’t tried everything on the menu but from what I have tried, I can’t say anything bad about anything I’ve ordered. I’ll always go back for that honey pineapple chicken but do give their other dishes a try. Want a little mild or spicy? They got that too for their grandma chicken. They are my go-to for something close by.“

“I've driven by here a few times before but never tried it until recently. I was there on a Sunday night and it wasn't too busy. There were tables with the grills and ones with out. Obviously if you want hibachi then the grill seats are the only option. You may end up sharing a table but it's not bad. I only had the hibachi this time but they also have sushi here as well. The hibachi is cooked right in front of you and the cook puts on a little bit of show too. Good for the kids if you're dining with any. The hibachi comes with soup, salad, vegetables and fried rice or noodles. I got both. The meat they have steak, chicken, shrimp, and lobster I believe. You can also get a combination as well. I had the steak and shrimp. Food was good and the experience was fun. I'd like to try other places in the area but I would definitely come back.“

“GREAT KOREAN FOOD AND SUSHI ??This place is great for Korean food and sushi, all for a decent price between $10-15 per dish. My friend and I got a 3 sushi roll combo, tteokboki, and Korean fried chicken. They were all so good! There’s a huge parking lot with stores around such as Kung Fu Tea and Hmart. The waiters were attentive and the atmosphere and comfy and quiet!“

“Perhaps it's one of the best sushi restaurants in Great Neck. Never disappointed regardless dine in or take out. Fish is always fresh, well cut, and added with chef's special ornaments. On top of these, the price is very reasonable.“

“The seaweed salad was a little fishy weird tasting. Maybe not that fresh. The unagi (eel) sashimi also had a weird taste.. The salmon sashimi was good. The Rock shrimp were pretty good just a little greasy. The 2 rolls ordered were ok. Probably won't order from here again unfortunately.“

“The flavors here are unique and amazing! My party of 2 ordered 6 tapas and the churros for dessert, which came out to be a perfect amount of food. The most outstanding dishes were the lamb chops, soft shell crab tempura, and warm mushroom salad, but everyone was quite excellent! I'll definitely remember this place for another special occasion!“

“Been coming here ever since they opened years ago. My family always order these: tempura shrimp appetizer, house special fried rice, and my fav hibachi steak and salmon. Their chicken/beef/shrimp teriyaki bowls are also pretty good and affordable. The yum yum sauce is the best. I love their crunchy rolls and the special OMG roll. Sweet tea and tempura ice cream! I consider these my comfort food.I admit that the food and service got worse during the pandemic, but I think they're getting up there again. Not quite as good as when they first opened, but still good nonetheless. Definitely one of my fav/best eats within the area.“

“I had my wedding rehearsal dinner here and Tommy was incredibly accommodating and ensured that everything ran smoothly from start to finish The food was absolutely delicious, and my bridal party still raves about it, especially the sushi! The staff was also very attentive and made sure that all of our needs were met. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience.“

“My wife and I came to Nomiya for a Valentine’s date. The food was good, though there’s definitely good sushi in the area for cheaper. Service was pretty lackluster. Nobody checked on us during the meal, they cleared our plates but we had to wait 15 minutes and then flag somebody down to get our bill. It’s quite a small restaurant and wasn’t full at the time.“

“The Food is impeccable, as well as the service, High quality ingredients. The owner is also the nicest person I've ever met would recommend 10/10. Every time I'm here I feel like home the servers are really nice especially Elliot, and Linda“

“This place has become my go to when I buy lunch at work. I've had a few dishes so far and they are really good, pricing is fair and they are very fast. The people working are always very nice and polite.Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie dishes and seems like they are willing to work around certain changes you might want to make“
