50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Hewlett

“I should have reviewed this place years ago...given the fact that I have been coming here for over a decade when the place was a hole in the wall. This place has expanded and has stayed standing for a reason. Their sushi is ALWAYS fresh, their staff makes it a point to get to know you, and it's probably the best sushi I've had in all of NY....and I've had a lot. I will continue eating from here at least once a week (yes, I eat here at least once a week) until they decide to close their doors (which I hope is never)“

“We have been going here for many many years and it's a solid place with fresh food. One of the complaints always is whoever the waitress is kind of seems to be bothered sometimes that she is there. If we ask for salt and pepper or extra duck sauce or napkins they make a face when you ask But seem aggravated.We give at least a 20% tip and they should seem me a little bit more interested in being a server.“

“Delicious fresh food and amazing drinks! Celebrated my friend’s bday there and we had a 12 course menu! Great atmosphere and the DJ was a great touch! Had a great time at Kaizen.“

“My plus one and I really enjoyed our time here. We had just gotten home from vacation and were in a mood for Ramen and this place did not disappoint.
Let me just say that this place has such a traditional Japanese vibe to it…the staff is warm and welcoming and the food was spectacular.
We had the ramen, both original and spicy and it was very delicious. We also had two Asahi beers and called it a day.
Overall, I will come back to this place more often.“

“Lovely place we enjoyed it it was very cool“

“Good food and good service 👍“

“Ginza Don in the Golden Mall Food Court, Flushing, Queens, offers an astonishing dining experience with its donburi rice bowls topped with a variety of proteins like beef, rib eye, steak, and eel, all cooked right in front of you. Watching the food being prepared adds a unique touch to the meal. Their new appetizers, like the mozzarella cheese sausage and crunchy karaage fried chicken, are absolutely delicious. This spot is a must-try, and I'll definitely be back to sample more of their donburi offerings!“

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

“There are many shops and they have parking“

“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!“

“I ordered from E Sushi III on Uber Eats, and I was so impressed with how fast my food got to me. The delivery was super quick, and everything was still fresh when it arrived. The packaging was spot on—neat, secure, and no spills, even with the drinks I ordered. It’s clear they put effort into making sure everything stays in place and arrives in perfect condition.

Everything I ordered was on point and tasted amazing. From the sushi rolls to the appetizers, every bite was full of flavor, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. The way everything was put together made it feel like I was dining in at the restaurant. The flavors were balanced just right, and it all went above and beyond what I expected.

I’m definitely ordering from E Sushi III again, and I can’t wait for my next meal. It’s rare to find a delivery experience that’s this smooth and satisfying from start to finish. Great job, E Sushi III! You’ve won me over. Keep up the awesome work—you’ve got a loyal customer here! ❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

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

“muy buena atención, exelente todo 👍“

“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.“

“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!“

“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)“

“We love coming here. The service is always great. So is the food! Small and cozy. Conveniently located. It’s one of our favorites.“

“Was very good meat and the atmosphere nice .“

“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!“

“I was craving a poke bowl today at a certain time and happened to stumble across this place. It was my first time entering Sukiya Ramen and Poke. The lady greets you as soon as you walk in. She is very attentive and sweet! They have a flyer for you to fill out if you want to create your own poke bowl. Which is very organized! She took my order and I ordered to stay. The man that works there served me my food. Everything was fresh and I finished the entire bowl. It was worth coming there and I will be coming back!“

“The freshest sushi you'll find.“

“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!“

“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“

“Friendly staff. Special price on Mondays for mazesoba dishes. The bao served like tacos are absolutely delicious.“

“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.“

“The service is great, the food is delicious and the presentation is even better! I ordered their lunch chicken teriyaki Benton box . A plate like this would cost $35 plus dollars in Manhattan but in Jamaica NY it was less than $20.The picture doesn’t include the Thai tea I ordered and the salad that comes with the bento box.The place is clean and the food presentation is exceptional.“

“Sashimi新鮮，龍蝦🦞5食好味，服務非常好！👍🏻“

“Great service. Fresh food“

“I love going to Sherry Blossom! Food is amazing and healthy and the menu has been expanding. Best pork gyoza! Wish I could help open another store! Keep it up!“

“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.“

“Pros:
Portion is big
Price is affordable
Takoyaki and katsu fried perfectly. Not oily at all
Server very friendly and nice
Lovely decor

Cons:
Booths a bit small and tight
Difficult to find

Notes:
Did not see sushi on the menu at all despite the name of the restaurant“

“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!“

“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”“

“Glorious Glorious I say so freaking unbelievably amazing 👏 a must stop if you are in the area!!!!! I didn't eat for a day and a half and that being the first thing I have steak and chicken with fried rice best yum yum sauce and red sauce 😋 😍 good prices“

“Great place“

“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. ? ?“

“I went here for my birthday and the food was phenomenal. The chef was super friendly. The service was attentive while not being too pushy and asking customers if they want anything else. They even cater to toddlers as well and that's always a great plus. The bathrooms are tidy and the host was quick to assist us.“

“Great food, great service😊“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!

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

“Omg this place makes great food. Get the hamburger. I was so impressed with the quality, presentation and flavor. This is one special spot.“

“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“

“Excellent food and service.“

“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 .“
