49 Best Japanese Restaurants near Islip

“We tried their sushi and it was amazing! The miso soup is one of the best I’ve had. The kokoro wings (soy garlic) were also very good to start with. They are very friendly here! Good prices and even better quality. Not alot of seating inside, seems more of a quick “cafe style” or take out spot.“

“Never had a bad meal or drink! Service always on point! highly recommend.“

My friends and family come to Yokohama all the time and we love it!! You will not be disappointed.“

“I cannot even begin to say how amazing this place is. They spared no expense decorating and renovating this space. The food was fantastic and is very reasonably priced. They have a huge center bar and lots of Hibachi tables and seating if you are getting Sushi. PLUS a robot brought our food! Ask for Alec! He took great care of us!“

“Nice place, unassuming exterior. Sushi was super fresh, rice on my rolls was sticky (as it should be) and soft. Fish tasted fresh and was thinly cut. Prices were average. Service was polite, nothing special. Spicy salmon was actually spicy. Would come back, recommended.“

“very nice fresh and delicious food“

“How many times have I passed this place without knowing what an absolute hidden gem this place is. Authentic, gorgeous dishes. The length they go to to serve, in such a way that the dishes are beautiful when brought to the table. Hands down best Asian fusion restaurant I have been to in a long time.

Every meal comes with dessert!“

“Great restaurants. Lots of Fun“

“Very decent and nice boss, the dishes are authentic and generous, like many other locals, I recommend this restaurant to my friends.“

“Top notch sushi, the best prices I have seen for the quality. I’ve been ordering from Kira Sushi since about 2021, their quality has been consistent and their menu prices haven’t raised drastically like everything else does.“

“Our favorite restaurant!!!“

“Sam and I love going here! The food is magnificent! We love the sautéed oysters appetizer and the tuna is amazing! We never had a bad experience here it is $$$ but worth it. It is definitely one of our favorite restaurants.“

“Only sharing my review of the food because it's a primarily a take-out restaurant! My notes are that the sushi is the best thing to order here and it gets VERY busy during lunch special rush hours so order ahead on their direct website (although slightly more inconvenient than the ordering apps). Been coming here for many years since it opened and I keep coming back.“

“Lovely atmosphere, delicious and generous portions, and quality service“

“This is THE place for great sushi and great service. The sushi is fresh, the fish is great, their avocado is ripe and the people are amazing. I travel 15 miles to get here and every time it's been great food and amazing service. Don't know why I've waited so long to write a review but I hope they get the recognition they deserve. I look forward to coming back every time.“

“Tsukiyo Zushi is absolutely amazing! The fish is incredibly fresh, and every piece of sushi is crafted with real care. The staff is warm and attentive, and the whole dining experience feels thoughtful and authentic. Definitely one of the best sushi spots around—highly recommended!“

“My husband and I have been eating here pretty much once a week for almost 20 years. We usually get take out and create our own in home date night. By far the freshest and most delicious sushi we’ve ever had. Period. They keep the menu very clean, as opposed to other places we’ve tried where everything is caked in sauce and all just taste the same. You will not be disappointed.
Favorites: Alan roll, Peter roll (as for extra sauce on the side), Cooper roll (not on the menu but was on their old menu. You can still ask for it) and the deep impact.“

“Very delicious Teriyaki. We used to go to a place in Massapequa but moved out here and was very reluctant to try something new. We couldn’t be happier. There are at least three places in the food court that have chicken teriyaki but this one has them beat hands down. The line is always long because clearly they’re the beat but no worries it moves very quickly and the food isn’t a long wait either. I get double chicken teriyaki with noodles vegetables extra sauce and hot sauce. Yum!“

“Great food, friendly staff….“

“Easy to see located inside the Smith Haven mall. Clean facilities. Reasonably priced. Close to the other stores and restaurants. Close to the Restrooms. Credit cards accepted. Always a long line but it moves quickly. Nice staff. We will most likely be going back.“

“Loved it! Very friendly and welcoming staff. The food was delicious and came out quickly. Will definitely go back again! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Great food and very nice service. Clean and very appealing atmosphere.“

“Excellent Sushi, Teriyaki, Pad Thai, Indonesian, Szechuan, and noodle dishes. Fresh, quickly prepared and delicious. Amazing hot and sour soup. Try the Szechuan peppercorn dishes! Staff is thoughtful, polite, and attentive. Lunch specials are a great value.“

“Always Excellent food & service“

“Food is very good. The Wonton noodle Soup is outstanding.“

“The food was good and great service“

“Food here is amazing, they're so friendly and attentive, menu choices are great, lunch special is a good price, and they pat attention to detail! I know most sushi places have ginger dressing salad and miso.. but theirs is better than usual lol. And the rolls are fresh and not skimpy. Tea is included. I love coming here on my breaks sometimes.“

“Ordered takeout from here recently and had a solid experience overall. The pricing was very reasonable - you definitely get good value for your money, and the portion sizes were generous. The sushi was fresh and well-prepared, with most rolls hitting the mark nicely. It's clear they put effort into their preparation. Worth trying if you're in the area.“

“reasonable prices, great tasting food, friendly service“

“First time being at the restaurant, originally thought it was a table serve restaurant but it's actually a casual take out spot with the option to dine in.

Despite seeing a bit of mixed reviews I couldn't say I was hesitant since the photos of the food shared look genuinely worth trying and it exceeded expectations in terms of freshness, flavor, and even presentation
Ordered Sesame chicken combination platter and they do not compromise on flavor.

Each part had its defining flavor even the eggroll tasted as if it was fried in a very high quality oil setting it apart from others I've had. The sesame chicken had the best balance of sweet and savory with the pork fried rice being a standout for me.

This isn't your average yellow friend rice from your favorite hole in the wall but a delicious fried rice with some wok char, bright bean sprouts and the tastiest pops of salty pork. The pan fried dumplings had a very authentic flavor with the perfect crisp on the bottom.

What surprised me more was that this restaurant wasn't really busy, only a few people popped in for their take out order. With such a great experience, genuinely tasty flavors, I'm genuinely excited to revisit and try some more!“

“I have been to this restaurant more time than I could count. The past year or so of experiences I would say the food quality was ok and the service always made me feel rushed.

Last night we went there for my daughters birthday and had the best experience for as long as I could remember. The service at the table was excellent. The waitress was attentive and we didn’t have to search for her for drink refills. I did feel a tad rushed when asking for food order as soon as drink order but it was ok since the kids had a long day and wanted to eat.

The highlight of our night was the chef. He was outgoing, kept everyone engaged and made everyone laugh. The food was the best we have had in the longest. The food was cooked perfectly, the meat was cut to the perfect sizes and the flavor was incredible. When we left, my wife and I both said that we had the best time and food we have ever had. My only complaint is that they no longer give you soup and salad, you have to pick between one or the other. It was nice to get both with your meal, especially for how much the food costs. Enjoy.“

“good buffet in the afternoons“

“Best sushi on Long Island. Everything fresh. Best bargain for your dollar is the seafood hot pot. Fills you up for $11.“

“My go to for Chinese and Japanese. Have been consistent for me“

“Was there on 5-10-23 for my Birthday, I will now be going anytime I want Chinese food , the atmosphere, the staff, and of course the food was all around 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“A great spot, especially for groups. The location is convenient, and we’ve never had an issue getting a table, even with a large party (though I’d still recommend making a reservation just to be safe).

The hibachi chefs are fantastic. Friendly, engaging, and they really make the experience fun for everyone at the table.

Unfortunately, our experience with our server fell short. She was noticeably rude, rolled her eyes when we asked for simple things like drinks or extra cups, and overall seemed annoyed by basic requests. My father even gave her an additional $20 tip separately, and she didn’t acknowledge it at all. Not even a thank you, which was disappointing...

I’d absolutely come back for the food, atmosphere, and chefs, but I hope management addresses the service side so it matches the rest of the experience.“
