“The perfect family compromise with amazing food! Our family is always divided when ordering dinner—half of us want Chinese food and the other half craves Japanese. Sakana is our absolute savior because they do both incredibly well. It makes ordering stress-free, and everyone always gets exactly what they want. Beyond the convenience, the food is consistently fresh and delicious. To top it all off, Cindy is wonderful! She is always so friendly, welcoming, and incredibly generous every time we order. We love supporting this local gem and cannot recommend it enough!“

“I work across the street and over the past year this family owned restaurant has become my go to for lunch.
The lunch menu prices are more than fair and the food is delicious and the healthy, especially for this area.

I always recommend my coworkers, freelancers on a shop day, and even clients to try out Yoho. Now they're also regulars!
They even share a free parking lot behind their store which is very convenient.“

“I get the shrimp tempura 3 roll combo almost every week. What makes this place different from others is their CONSISTENCY! Every week I come it’s the same great tasting quality. Most spots you go to will be good one week and horrible the next . That’s not the case here . Would upload a picture but I already demolished it before I got a chance lol“

“I'll start with I loved Ting.
But KuKu is an awesome replacement!

Been here several times with family and friends, every single time the food was fantastic, fresh, & delicious.
The service is always polite, prompt, and everything always comes out correct.

Highlights: Bibimbop, Fried Chicken, & all the small dishes you get to accompany.“

“If you appreciate good sushi, stop by Sushi Vogue on Jericho turnpike. Great tasting food at reasonable prices, nice selection on the menu, and courteous service with a personal touch! They can also cater your events and gatherings - check them out for either lunch or dinner! Highly recommend!“

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

“We came in with a beastly group of about a dozen, and the kitchen handled the table with impressive speed. The food came out fast in steady waves, which kept everyone busy passing plates and eating without any lull. Every single dish hit the mark. The geek in me love the technology - from ordering on the tablets, to easy sign up on the app, to contactless payments.

Dim Sum & Starters
- Har Gow: Plump whole shrimp with wrappers that held together cleanly when picked up.
- Sticky Rice Shao Mai: Hearty and deeply savory, easily one of the table favorites.
- Scallion Pancake: Light, flaky layers without the grease you often get elsewhere.
- Sesame Balls: Fried crisp on the outside with the right amount of chew.

Entrees & Wok Mains
- Chongqing Spicy Chicken (La Zi Ji): Crispy bites packed with fragrant chilies and a great numbing heat.
- Mapo Tofu: Silky texture with a rich, warming kick that worked perfectly over rice.
- Pickled Mustard Green Fish Soup: Tart, comforting, and packed with tender fish slices. Unexpectedly a soup - we expected this to be stir fried (didn’t read enough)
- Shrimp with Bok Choy: Fresh greens with a satisfying snap and generously sized shrimp.
- Stir-Fried Udon: Good wok char on thick noodles that stayed bouncy.
- Chicken with Broccoli: Tender chicken and crisp broccoli in a clean, savory garlic glaze.
- Sesame Chicken: Sweet, crunchy, and vanished quickly with our crowd.
- Yeoungchow Fried Rice: Fluffy and light, acting as a great base for the spicy mains.

The staff kept our tea topped off, plates cleared, and the pace moving from start to finish. A reliable spot in the area when you have a big group of hungry people that wants variety and quality.“

“The service is always great, delicious food.“

“Best sushi place on Long Island. Friendly people everything is made super fresh. Always a good time there’s always giving you a little extra.“

“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 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'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!“

“I came here to try some vegetarian rolls I have never come across before (Avocado Peanut Roll & Avocado Banana Tempura Roll). Not only is the food delicious, but the person that gave me my takeaway order was super nice. Will 100% be coming back here!“

“We go because the owners are the nicest people ever! Everything is always great“

“I love this place. They are so friendly great service great dine in experience as well. The sushi is very good. I have to admit I'm not a sushi eater however we get the chicken and it's very fresh. Everything is really excellent and it's very popular but we go.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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+++++++++++++“

“An Absolute Culinary Triumph with a Casual Twist

If you are looking for some of the freshest, most expertly crafted Japanese cuisine on Long Island, Dozo Dozo in Woodbury is an absolute must-visit. From the moment the food hits the table, it is clear that the kitchen operates at a world-class level. The fish quality is unparalleled, boasting a melt-in-your-mouth texture that rivals top-tier, high-end omakase spots in New York City.

Every single dish we ordered was a home run. The crispy rice tuna was a spectacular starter—perfectly golden and crunchy on the outside while remaining delicate on the inside. The spicy Kani Salad and Edamame were spot on.The specialty hand rolls and the signature Miso Black Cod were equally breathtaking, showcasing a masterclass in flavor balance and presentation.

The staff also deserves immense praise; the service was incredibly attentive, fast, and warm throughout our entire meal; with a nice window table.

The only minor disconnect is the atmosphere relative to the price point. With a premium menu where a dinner bill can easily scale up, the environment feels a bit too casual and informal. While the space is clean and contemporary, it lacks the quiet, upscale intimacy you might expect when paying top dollar for premium sushi. It leans more toward a lively, neighborhood-casual spot, kid-friendly, than an elite dining destination.

That being said, the food is so phenomenal that it completely overshadows any minor atmosphere critiques. If you prioritize world-class sushi over strict fine-dining formality, Dozo Dozo will easily become your new favorite spot. I will definitely be returning.“

“The food was amazing! Everything tastes great, the portions are really good, and the food always feels fresh. We loved the calamari; it was very crispy and absolutely delicious. The shishito peppers, also incredible. We ordered the salmon and the steak, and both were cooked perfectly. Everything we tried was delicious.

The service I received was amazing. The two servers were very kind and attentive. I can’t always come in to eat, but I do order on DoorDash, and the sushi is the best—so good. Highly recommend it!“

“Love the family owned restaurant. A true culinary masterpiece. roppongi sushi has such fresh and tasty food. Top Japanese quality. Sushi chef Bendy makes every piece absolutely delicious. The sushi rice is perfectly balanced with the seafood. A true hidden gem.“

“Food & service is always great, my kids love the show!“

“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.“

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

“We have only eaten here a handful of times but each time the food is fresh for both dine in & take our. I love the 20% off when you order on-line. The staff is very friendly and accommodating allowing my daughter to customize her bento box. Tonight we took out & I left my phone on the bar. The staff held it for me in the register until I returned to get it. They definitely won me as their customer!“

“two days ago was the first time in this excellent restaurant. But It is surely not the last time. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the efficient service, with the high quality meal and wine and with the honest cost. We will no doubt visit there again.“

“Amazing ambiance, the ceilings are super tall which is always great. Personally love the fact that's the menu is favored towards authentic Chinese cuisine. Everything is done really well. The dice mala chicken with chili is something i always order at every place that has it on the menu and this place definitely tops it. It's a must order. Would definitely return on the regular!“

“We always love Mizuno and normally sit at the sushi bar. Today we sat at a table with my father. He could hear us today whereas sometimes there are so many people. It's a little loud for his hearing aids, but we absolutely love Waturo and the food and the ambience and just everything about Mizuno! “

“This place has been around for a very long time, the owner is and always has been so hospitable. The food always fresh and tasty. Streamed shrimp shumai is a mustttt! I had the maki eel and dragon roll and it was great. Jazz was playing on the stereo which made the perfect ambiance for me. I will always come back.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“This is by far my favorite restaurant on Long Island. We eat here at least once a week. The food is consistently fresh. Staff is wonderful and friendly. You won’t be disappointed!“
