50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Hempstead

“I just wanted to get something quick, I found out they had cards they can stamp to eventually get a free meal. I’ve been here about 4 other times and no other cashier has ever mentioned that to me until Alexa did tonight. She ended up giving me two for filled up cards which she didn’t have to. Her customer service was fantastic. And would definitely keep coming again. Everyone is very nice and friendly in there. Would recommend.“

“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!!!“

“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!🎈🎊🎉“

“Yoho Japanese is THE BEST!

Ive had my eye on Yoho ever since they opened I really wanted to try! finally last night was my chance to try it for dinner and they did not disappoint!!! everything was cooked to perfection and the food came in a reasonable time. They included all utensils and chopsticks, which I loved because it makes it easier to just chow down! The website is also very easy to order on and I really enjoyed my experience with Yoho! Will definitely be recommending to family and friends and will definitely order again!“

“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.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair access“

“The Atmosphere is so chill and the food is amazing. You have to try the coconut cake and the coconut pudding. It’s homemade and made with fresh coconut water. Please continue to support them as they are an amazing and friendly business. You won’t be sorry. It’s very demure very cutesy ?

Dietary restrictions: They offer Vegan options“

“The food here is always fresh and tastes good! I come here a lot and usually order the special sushi rolls or the grilled chicken don but I tried the new spicy beef ramen this time and it was really good. The workers are always so friendly and the food came out really quick. I recommend Moshi Moshi if you are looking for a new sushi/ramen place to try in Long Beach!“

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

“Best sushi in Long Island“

“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.“

“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)“

“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.“

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

“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“

“I'd recommend this place ... sort of. We chose to sit on the dining side since it was only two of us and didn't want the "show". The service was friendly and good but not overly attentive. Our drinks were very good and a fair price (we had the Oceanside Zombie but without the Sprite added). We both ordered the hibachi surf and turf (lobster and filet mignon) which came with a house salad and clear soup, both of which we really enjoyed. The filet was tasty but the pieces were cut very unevenly so some pieces were medium rare and others were close to well done. The lobster tail was very small and too salty. I would not order it again. I was completely disappointed that the veggies were drowning in teriyaki sauce. There was no indication on the menu that they are served in sauce. I typically love hibachi vegetables but I hate teriyaki sauce! They reminded me more of Chinese takeout vegetables than Japanese hibachi. The fried rice was good but not the best. It came with lots of peas and I hate peas. Another disappointment but not a surprise was they don't offer hibachi mustard sauce. Like so many other places these days they offer yum yum sauce instead which we refused because, yuck yuck. They offered us some ice cream on the house (I think because the server knew I was very disappointed about the teriyaki sauce). It came to the table in little plastic cafeteria style cups with the pull back paper top. LOL. I'm glad it did though because the top listed the ingredients and let's just say, we immediately sent the ice cream back. All in all, not the greatest hibachi experience but also not the worst. I would maybe go back for drinks and try some other menu items ... and hold the teriyaki sauce!“

“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!!!!“

“Was there last night with my family, Food service and atmosphere was great. When I asked for an Alcohol free beer I was told not on the menu , which it wasn’t. Owner came over and brought over two of his own Japanese AF Really something nice to do. New go to place.“

“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!

“Honestly I haven't had sushi this fresh and high quality in a long time. Even the mango was perfectly ripe
(which is hit or miss at most restaurants). The salad greens were fresh and not wilted . I was impressed and will definitely go back.“

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

“Great place“

“I love this place. Sushi and cheap drinks, good drinks too! Way better than Tobiko by King Kullen. Staff is super friendly and the place is nicely decorated, chill music not too loud, and they deliver! I hope this place stays here, really awesome. I always stop in whenever I'm around
Edit 2024: They no longer deliver :(
But the quality has not declined!“

“Yummy food and very clean“

“Must try the Swan bowl = 10/10“

“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“

“quality sushi for what seems like a 100 years. Amazing service and one of the most welcoming environments in long beach“

“Was looking for a new sushi spot & found it. Great location. Very spacious restaurant with a nice atmosphere.
? the quality of food was very good. Everything we got felt very fresh.
? our waitress last night seemed overwhelmed, we had to keep trying hard to get her attention.
? so we got the maki combo to start & we chose option B with miso soup, it was very good.
? from the special rolls we got the the
-Tiffany Roll . So delicious! It’s heavy, but very good.
-sushi sandwich - it was good, but it needed something crispy to hold & feel it…felt very mushy eating it…so it wasn’t a pleasant experience
-drank hot tea

Overall definitely recommend!

“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 .“
