50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Great Neck

“I stopped by Tiger Sushi because the atmosphere looked really inviting, and I wasn’t disappointed. The inside was very spacious, and you could tell the food is made with pride and love. Everything was perfectly balanced, not too salty, not too sweet, just right. Can’t wait to go back. Best sushi place in town!“

“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 🍶 😊🍱🍣“

“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 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.“

“I’ve been to a lot of sushi spots in NYC and Long Island, but Daruma of Tokyo in Great Neck honestly surprised me in the best way. The vibe here is so warm and inviting, the staff actually pay attention to you, check in without hovering, and make you feel comfortable right away. It’s the kind of place where you can relax the second you sit down.

The sushi was unbelievably fresh. I’m picky about sashimi, and theirs tasted clean and smooth with zero fishy aftertaste. The tuna practically melts, and the salmon had that perfect buttery texture you only get from really high-quality cuts. The amaebi and ikura were standouts too, sweet, fresh, and not overly briny. You can tell they take their time with the prep because everything came out beautifully presented.

One thing that really impressed me was the pricing. For the quality you’re getting, it honestly feels like a steal. I’ve paid way more at places that didn’t even come close. This spot proves you don’t need to drop crazy money just to get genuinely good sushi.

It’s definitely a place I’d bring friends or family to, especially people who appreciate authentic Japanese flavors without any pretension. And yes the claw machines in the back are such a cute touch. We ended up playing after dinner and won a couple of toys, which just made the night even better.

If you’re in the Great Neck area, Daruma of Tokyo is absolutely worth checking out. Fresh food, great service, fair prices“

“We enjoyed another wonderful meal at Soku tonight for Valentine’s Day. Ivan was a wonderful host and introduced us to some delightful eats including crispy beef and yellowtail sashimi.

“Great place for a quick bite at a nice price! I had the Thinly Sliced Beef Donburi. It also came with egg, seaweed salad, and a nice miso soup to top it off. The beef was cooked very well and had a smoky flavor I’ve had in some of my favorite places in Japan. Would definitely come back here! 😁“

“Another amazing dinner from Katsuno. Our favorite authentic Japanese restaurant in NYC came through for us once again, this time with take-out. Tonight we had the Tuna Avocado Salad, Nigiri Sushi, Pork Hirekatsu, and Tempura Udon. All served with a refreshing can of Funaguchi Kikusui Sake. Everything was fresh and delicious as always and served curbside in a safe no contact manner. Thank you Katsuno!“

“I just tried the Thai tea and it was delicious !!! 😋“

“I love sushi, and the food at this restaurant is very good. The ingredients are also very fresh. The most important thing to eat Japanese food is the freshness of the ingredients. Especially raw food. The sushi at this restaurant is quite delicious. The combination of soy sauce and rice, in addition to fresh ingredients. It is simply delicious. Highly recommended to everyone.“

“Great service. Ken is the man on the grill??????????…. Five star service“

“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!“

“Just ate here for the first time last night - a friend highly recommended it. The food was amazing - we had two poke bowls, chicken teriyaki, vegetable fried rice, shumai, Chicken negimaki - everything delicious. Can’t wait to go back!“

“This is some of the best sushi I have ever had. Super fresh ingredients and the sushi so good I didn’t require dipping sauce. I highly recommend.“

“Absolutely delicious, food is amazing, if your able to sit down and eat it's a nice spot to do so. But because the food is good, it gets pretty packed. Great prices for alot of food. And the Fried chicken Dumplings are great. I ate them so fast I didn't take a picture. ? ?“

“muy buena atención, exelente todo 👍“

“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...“

“Mandy, Tina and Yoyo make my drink the best out of all the places I've had drinks at. The service and food are toptch notch. Love the fact that they know what I am drinking and get it to me as soon as I sit down. We eat n drink here almost every week while doing laundry next door. Haven't been disappointed yet.“

“Ordered for a company event. The owner was super nice, and the prices were very reasonable. The sushi was incredibly fresh, and they beautifully arranged the sushi on a large boat with appetizers on a smaller boat. The boat presentation immediately caught our guests’ attention and made the whole setup look unique and special. Our guests loved it! Highly recommend for private parties or events.“

“Absolutely loved this hibachi restaurant! The food was incredibly delicious, and you could really taste how fresh all the ingredients were. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Their drinks were amazing too—the perfect complement to the meal. The overall experience was fantastic, and I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great hibachi!“

“very tasty. great price. great staff.“

“Beautiful venue and the food is awesome!!“

“You guys are the best, delicious food and beautiful presentation 👍👍☺️☺️😋😋“

“Got Thai pepper stake, chicken with cashew nut, tempura roll, tom yum soup, duck salad and tonkatsu Ramen. They are all good. Actually i would say it's balanced between 2 worlds. It's flavorful enough to satisfied our asian taste but not overpowered like old schools foods so it's suitable for people of all ethic background. Example their duck salad is my wife favorite. It included avocado which normally are not in thai duck salad but somehow they make it work really well. She also praised the tonkatsu Ramen. She said it's tasty and delicious. My favorite is Thai pepper stake. When they brought out , my wife said oh I can smell aroma of spiciness, I think it's gonna be spicy and hot. It wasn't and it was pleasantly delicious. Just right amount of kick and sweetness. The service is really well too. the young lady named Muu took care of us and she was very polite and caring. Excellent service. The restaurant is Very well priced also. You get a lot of bang for your bucks. Overall very satisfied. We will definitely going back again and again“

“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!“

“I like the way they Cook, portion was Perfect, test was also delicious. Price is Little bit higher than similar restaurant. But its Ok.
Thanks Tokyo Hibachi,
America Dream sushi... Love ❤

Anyone can mention any halal option prior Place the Order.“

“A Perfect Evening!

We had a wonderful evening celebrating two birthdays with a group of eight, and everything about the experience was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and professional. The entire staff went above and beyond to make our celebration feel special.

The food was excellent as well. Every dish was delicious, beautifully prepared, and enjoyed by everyone at the table. What really stood out was that we never felt rushed. We were able to relax, enjoy our meal, and spend quality time together, which made the evening even more memorable.

Everyone involved played a part in making our special celebration a truly wonderful experience. It was the perfect place to celebrate with family and friends, and we left already looking forward to our next visit.

We will definitely be back! Highly recommended.“
