50 Best Sushi Bars near Howard Beach

“Cool place for celebrating anything with friends and family“

“Food and service never disappoints.“

“I loved the place - best sushi and rolls in entire NYC across all the boroughs. Not sure why people are complaining about the price - it is decent for NYC. People have to make money not give the food for free folks.Service- super fast. Ty?For all the negativities- look at the pictures they post- the food look good. Some pictures are just blurred proving pretty much nothing about the quality they complain about.“

“I came here a friend and had 2 rolls (salmon and tuna), one sea urchin, and one wagyu single piece. All the food was incredible. Some of the best sushi I've had in my life. My friend had 2 vegetarian rolls, which both were delicious. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that enjoys higher quality sushi, especially at lunch since they have some discounted rolls.“

“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.“

“Fantastic speakeasy sushi joint. Very small, no more than an handful of people may join the omasake style bar where 3 talented (and cool) chefs serve you the best crafted sushi you can get. Definitely going back soon.“

“My daughter chose this for a birthday dinner. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was fantastic. Audrey was our server. She was extremely knowledgeable of the menu, made great recommendations, she was there when we needed her without being there too often. I would highly recommend Rosella Sushi. Can’t wait to get back to New York City and return for a meal here. It also makes it extra cool when Chef Jeff is wearing a Florida Gator hat!“

“Love the pad thai so much. Really authentic Thai kitchen. Thank you so much guys. I really enjoyed this!“

“Second to none! The ingredients are fresh and chef skills are world class.“

“Sushi onakase Shinzo best“

“Absolutely amazing food was delicious and the attention of the staff unique.“

“A hidden gem! We stumbled upon this place on a walk and decided to grab a bite. We didn’t have a reservation but was quickly seated with a full bar of other diners for the lunch omakase. Great service, yummy food, and unbeatable pricing. This was such a treat! I will make sure to come back when we are in the area.“

“The food was wonderful and the ambiance lovely. The service pretty attentive and cheerful. But the desserts were overpriced and not worth it. Try the udon noodle with mushroooms. . yumm.“

“Good experience, especially with the happy hour special. The food is okay now, premium sushi set , the fish is average at best, cooked food is also average. Restaurant focus more on profit now I believe. Decor and service are still excellent“

“My favorite omakase place in the city that I have been to the most often. Not crazy fancy, but the fish selection and quality just special enough that it’s not a commodity either. I also appreciate the approachable selection of sake. Perfect omakase bar for a quarterly visit :-)

Chef and hosts are all very nice and kind to share stories and experiences.“

“Fresh fish, comfortable, cozy, intimate atmosphere. Nice background music that can be on the indie alternative side at times. A cool show that involves a little bit of fire and a little bit of creativity, ending in a nice bite. Had a really great time.“

“Such a good experience! The chefs were incredible at their jobs but also engaging and lively. The server made the evening really beautiful with his presence. They gave everyone a free shot on the house and we also got a mini cake for our celebration. The food was out of this world! So yummy and you do not feel hungry after.

We’ll be back!“

“Sushi was some of the best I’ve had. Chefs know what they’re doing with the glazes and sauces.

Service was attentive, but I wish they had more info about the dishes. Info such as ingredients in the sauces, where the fish came from etc.

The service was also very authentic to Japan in the sense that they were rigid about timing and when we were allowed to order certain things. If you missed your chance to order certain sections of the menu they wouldn’t take the order. lol it felt just like being in Japan.

HOWEVER they did accommodate an unusual dietary restriction and we very much appreciated that.

I think it’s fair because there’s no tip (it’s included in the price). Which is also true to Japan.“

“Excellent and comfortable affordable“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Fushimi Restaurant! The food was delicious, from the appetizers we ordered to our main course. Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. We also enjoyed a couple of drinks, which perfectly complemented our meal. What truly made our visit exceptional was the incredible service provided by our waitress, Ohmie. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Her warm demeanor and professionalism truly elevated our dining experience. We strongly recommend Fushimi Restaurant, especially because of the outstanding service we received from Ohmie. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great food very good service“

“Absolutely outstanding experience at Prime No.7. David looked after me from start to finish and his customer service was genuinely 10/10. He was friendly, professional, and took his time to make sure everything was perfect. You can tell he really cares about his customers and takes pride in his work. Easily the best service I’ve had in a long time. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending David to everyone I know.“

“Second to none! The ingredients are fresh and chef skills are world class.“

“Fabulous, in every way. Kinoko was amazing, deluxe sushi plate included more sashimi than advertised, including rarities like snapper and 3 different grades of tuna. Reasonably priced saki and the matcha tiramisu was decadent with perfect lady fingers. One of the best sushi meals of my life.“

“Pros: Good spot, good food, good sushi selection for being a small space. Cons: Place was very busy when we went (6/13/21) and service was slow. Took 20 minutes to get dessert. Some of our plates and soy dishes were not well cleaned from previous use. Ordered and was charged for two dishes to go, but only one was actually packed. Overall 3 stars due to the cons we experienced, but hoping that was just catching them at a bad time.“

“This is one of the best Omakase in town. As a lover of omakase, it is becoming one of my favorites. The 17-course meal is to perfection, one piece after the other. The location is fantastic, and the atmosphere makes it want to come back over and over again. The quality of the fish and other ingredients is the best, the pieces are refined to perfection. Highly recommended. If you are a sushi lover, do not miss this one.“

“Best Omakase I’ve ever had 😊“

“Shota is as close to dining in Tokyo as you may find in New York. An absolute dream experience with every detail perfectly tailored to your needs. We recently attended the 3 year anniversary of this Michelin star restaurant and could not have enjoyed a meal more. While it is definitely a bank breaker for most, this is one of New York’s most delicious restaurants accompanied by some of the finest service you’ll find in the city. If budget allows, always go with the sake pairing. It’s a game changer. Love the team here so very much. They treat you like family every visit.“

“14 course omakase for an hour“

“Imasanori Sushi is such a beautiful spot for an elevated sushi experience 🍣✨ Everything from the ambiance to the presentation felt so thoughtfully done. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and every bite felt like a little experience of its own.
Perfect for a special dinner, date night, or anyone who appreciates high-quality Japanese cuisine. Definitely a place I’d recommend adding to your list! 🤍“

“The food was amazing! Although you have to order a lot to get full, it is worth every penny. Special thanks to Owner for offering me something extra—I really appreciate it! My stomach feels full, but not overwhelmed. The quality is amazing! They made my night.“

“The omakase was soo good. Definitely recommend the golden ducky“

“Great experience. The food was exquisite, and the sashimi was very fresh. I also highly recommend the Chocolate Sensation dessert: it was creative, delicious and the perfect way to end the meal. Our server Jenna was friendly and attentive. Will be back!“

“Best sushi I ever eat in NYC“

“Sushi was amazing. My daughter is allergic to soy and our waiter was very helpful! Service was very good.“

“I had a great time at Kaiyo. It has been a go to for me when I want sushi and am in Long Island City. The front of the restaurant is only the sushi counter, so it isn't noisy or distracting. It's a good place to sit and talk over a meal. The sushi is good and it is reasonably priced.“

“Best sushi I have ever had.“

“Had a wonderful experience at UKA Omakase! The food was fresh, beautifully prepared, and every course was delicious. Andy took great care of us throughout the meal—he was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be back!“

“TSUMO – UWS was an absolute blast.
We went as a group of six and had such a fun, high‑energy experience from start to finish. The vibe is lively without feeling chaotic, and the staff clearly loves what they do, which makes a huge difference.

The omakase was AMAZING, especially for the price. Every piece felt thoughtful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Starting with the 13 initial pieces was perfect, and we loved being able to add more afterward. It made the whole experience feel flexible and indulgent without pressure.

Great food, great energy, and a format that works perfectly for a group night out. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend. 🍣✨“

“The best sushi I ever had.Friendly chef and attentive staff.“

“Tsubomi is one of the most authentic Japanese restaurants I have visited in New York. The restaurant is run by Chef Genta and his wife, Beth, and their warm hospitality makes every guest feel at home.

Chef Genta trained extensively in traditional kaiseki cuisine in several cities across Japan and also perfected his sushi craftsmanship at the renowned Ginza Kyubey, one of Japan’s most respected sushi restaurants.

What makes Tsubomi special is that you can enjoy truly high quality sushi and traditional Japanese foods in a cozy and charming setting without the intimidating formality often associated with fine dining. Their lunch menu is especially affordable, and every dish is prepared with exceptional care and technique.

If you are looking for genuine Japanese foods and expertly crafted sushi, I highly recommend Tsubomi. It is a restaurant I will happily return to again and again.“

“Deliciously inexpensive omakase. The chef was serving 6 people at a time, and it appears that some of the patrons were in a rush, so the courses were served a bit hurriedly. However, since our party was not in a rush, we were able to hangout after the 13 D
delicious courses were served.

This is the most inexpensive and delicious omakase in NYC!“

“One of my favorite restaurants in all of NYC. The food is exceptional - very generous portions for a great price. Never seen more fish in a sushi roll before. So fresh. The restaurant itself is beautiful and all of the staff were very friendly. I cant wait to come back. Can't recommend enough.“

“Delicious sushi. Super fresh fish, you can taste the high quality ingredients. Based on an entirely parve concept. Love that they offer traditional Chinese dishes with fish as a protein instead of chicken (like sesame chicken and lo mein). It's nice enough for a night out yet budget friendly enough to make it affordable. Also great option for take out. The billionaire's roll is perfect for tuna lovers. They had amazing home made iced tea as well. They also have lunch specials and buy 2 get 1 free for sushi rolls. Would definitely be back!“

“This small space tucked away on the side hides a tiny sushi bar. They have excellent staff, very friendly. I ordered a roll and they gave a miso soup along with it that wasn't on the menu.
The sushi is very fresh and even the chirashi keeps well in the fridge. The rice doesn't get too dry and the fish has no odor to it. If you want, there is a table and chair right outside, but this place is pretty much all take out.“

“I highly recommend! The design and food is awesome.“

“Had an exceptional meal at Luya. The service, food and vibe were awesome and made two adults and a month old baby feel extremely welcome. Would recommend to anybody looking for date night or simply seeking really great quality sushi and omakase in the neighborhood. Their cocktails and drink menu are stellar and worthy of their own positive comment.“

“Appetizers: I got the shishito peppers. They were good. Next time I would get it without the sauce because the sauce was a little too sweet for me. Tried the crispy rice for the first time and was very impressed.

I also got the salmon avocado roll and the spicy tuna. These were delicious. The salmon was super fresh and buttery.

Plum wine. Refreshing and sweet.“

“The vibe is so cool, the service team is top notch, and the food is some the best sushi ever! A must visit!“

“Great spot ...............“
