50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Jamaica

“Great service, the food is such a great value when you go for happy hour, but even normal price hand roll set is a good deal. Very tasty sashimi, my favorite were the salmon roll and yellowtail hand roll.
The cold sake was very good for the price.
Server was friendly and attentive.
Would definitely come back!“

“You guys are the best, delicious food and beautiful presentation 👍👍☺️☺️😋😋“

“I absolutely love this sushi restaurant and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great sushi or roll or both. The sushi and specialty rolls are always fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. One of the best things about this place is that the prices are very reasonable, especially considering how fresh the fish is and how generous the portions are. It's becoming harder to find a restaurant that offers both excellent quality and affordable prices, but this place does exactly that. What really makes this restaurant special, however, is the owner. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm smile and made to feel like family. The owner is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely appreciates every customer. It's clear that they take pride not only in the food they serve but also in creating a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience for everyone who visits. If you're looking for delicious sushi, great value, and outstanding hospitality, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. I always leave satisfied and look forward to coming back again. Highly recommended!“

“A++ come here for teriyaki in this area“

“Food was okay, a little more expensive than normal. Chicken teriyaki is now 10.89, 11.86 after tax. Its 10 cents cheaper than the teriyaki place a block away. -1 star due to requesting extra sauce and not getting it.
Hard to say if portions are larger or smaller but most of current one is rice.
Attached pic of menu for future reference as well.“

“one of the best Japanese cuisine you can experience. They have the teriyaki special platters for a great price which comes with everything you can taste about this place. The food is yummy and the staff/atmosphere is great. keep up the good work guys :)“

“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.“

“Good food and good service 👍“

“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.“

“Was very good meat and the atmosphere nice .“

“Wowoww 🥹🎀💗 the food was SO delicious I genuinely almost cried 😭✨ The salmon & tuna avocado were absolute perfection, and the gyozaaaaa 🥟💞 literally obsessed. And the butterfly pea yuzu lemonade?? So pretty and refreshing 🦋🍋💙 Everything was perfect 🩵🩵🩵 already dreaming about ordering from tora 🎀✨“

“Amazing music, service, and food—every single time. Ridgewood staple in my books, and should be in yours too. So fast and easy, but great vibes every time. I recommend the love boat because the sashimi is so fresh. Oh, and price is great too. LOVE.“

“Crazy that I never reviewed this spot! One of my favorite places in the Stuy, great staff, good food, and perfect cocktails. One of the only spots out here that has my favorite Gin -- there's something for everyone here, would definitely recommend.“

“Traveled from out of town to see a friend but also maybe mostly to eat the spicy chicken katsu that I’ve dreamt of since Mini Mart/Mama Yoshi’s used to be a pop up at All Night Skate and we would go sit outside in the cold and enjoy the food and a cocktail. Moved out of reach in 2022 and my life has not been complete without the sandwhich I’ve evangelized across several countries and continents. Thankfully as spicy or at least close to as spicy as it has always been. Thanks for keeping the quality and quantity the same and the prices really much closer than I expected. And sick merch per usual.“

“Lovely place we enjoyed it it was very cool“

“Another amazing dinner from Katsuno. Our favorite authentic Japanese restaurant in NYC came through for us once again, this time with take-out. Tonight we had the Tuna Avocado Salad, Nigiri Sushi, Pork Hirekatsu, and Tempura Udon. All served with a refreshing can of Funaguchi Kikusui Sake. Everything was fresh and delicious as always and served curbside in a safe no contact manner. Thank you Katsuno!“

“My favorite Japanese around. Homestyle dishes and wonderfully fresh and simple sushi, nothing flashy or gimmicky, just real-deal authentic food. I can always walk in and get a table which means others maybe have not caught on yet! 👀 Love you A-un“

“I stopped by Tiger Sushi because the atmosphere looked really inviting, and I wasn’t disappointed. The inside was very spacious, and you could tell the food is made with pride and love. Everything was perfectly balanced, not too salty, not too sweet, just right. Can’t wait to go back. Best sushi place in town!“

“Sashimi新鮮，龍蝦🦞5食好味，服務非常好！👍🏻“

“Reservation Surprise For My Birthday Amazing Service Foid Was Delicious Everything Was Awesome Enjoy My Special Day So Happy Miyama Restaurant Was Our Choice Lilly Server Was The Best : Thank You“

“This was my 6th or 7th time at Sushi on Me in the past 4 years, which marks it now as the most frequented non-lunch location in all of NYC for my whole dining life. I am a habitual diner - I eat out 6-8 times a week, so believe it when I say that SoM is a remarkable experience - the quality of the prep, the quality of the semi-interactive experience with the chefs - all are superb!“

“Food is amazing every time“

“I’ve been coming here since they first opened, and they’ve been consistently excellent every time. The chicken teriyaki is always on point.

Definitely a loyal returning customer, and I highly recommend giving them a try!“

“Great place for a quick bite at a nice price! I had the Thinly Sliced Beef Donburi. It also came with egg, seaweed salad, and a nice miso soup to top it off. The beef was cooked very well and had a smoky flavor I’ve had in some of my favorite places in Japan. Would definitely come back here! 😁“

“First time ordering on 7/26/26. Wesley was extremely helpful in helping me choose two meals. I ordered one chicken bento box and one deluxe beef and shrimp bento box. I requested the teriyaki sauce on the side. Everything was very good and my mom and I enjoyed it. Will return for sure.“

“Small cozy spot with a relaxed atmosphere. You order at the bar and the service is quick and friendly. No alcohol, but the focus is clearly on the food. The menu is small but thoughtfully put together, and everything feels fresh. The handroll sushi is especially great and definitely worth trying. A nice casual place to stop by when you want quality sushi without the fuss.“

“Today my first time ordering this place to go I order a party tray it was delicious everything was nice and fresh the girl in the front was so nice she offered me a glass of water while I waited I feel bad for her that she do the front and doing waitress also she does a amazing job keeping the customers happy I will come back again soon order more and go there to eat thank you“

“Some friends and I took a gamble and walked into what was a completely empty restaurant—usually a sign that something is amiss. Boy, were we surprised! The sushi was phenomenal! The owner and staff were attentive and accommodating. We sat at the sushi bar and enjoyed several courses of meticulously prepared sushi. This is my new go-to sushi restaurant for both takeout and dining in Rockville Centre!“

“Yummy!!!!! ummmmm!!!!! Thi shrimp platter the sushi!!!!“

“Delivered via DoorDash and the quality was pretty fantastic. The California Roll was not only fresh, but tastes well made and extremely well-crafted. I was pretty hungry and scarfed down the chicken teriyaki I ordered: the flavors were there, the quality was outstanding, and the freshness and care for my delivery felt intentional. I would absolutely re-order from this location again. Overall, it was a great experience!“

“Great food. Fantastic service.“

“Excelente!!! Muy buena comida y muy buena atención. Gracias“

“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!“

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

“Hands down one of the best Asian restaurants in NYC. Easily the best in the Bronx. Party of 12 was accommodated at a late hour with warmth, attention, humor and generosity. We were not rushed out and we were given a discount. You won't regret anything you order here, and the owners are a treasure!“

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

“delicious and excellent ramen will be back“

“My first time here, and it completely exceeded my expectations! The food was absolutely incredible. From the very first bite, the flavors were unforgettable—honestly some of the most delicious food I’ve had. I also have to mention the service. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout the entire visit. I will definitely be coming back. This has easily become one of my favorite places!“

“Wow 🤩 the food is delicious! Eat as much as I want for 35$ wow! Love the beef skewers! This is my first time in all I can eat and I love it! I came in with empty stomach and left with a full stomach! Don’t have to check the prices and eat as much as I can. I highly recommend this spot! If you are swimming by the beach and get hungry please head to this spot for an unforgettable experience! With all love! Thank you! Just PLEASE DONT ORDER EXTRA! Never order extra! It will be hard to finish.“

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

“My husband and I had a wonderful Omakase experience. We did the $128 tasting menu with the sake pairing. Needless to say, we will be going back. The tastings were super fresh, and the chef was lovely. My favorite dish was the Sea Bream. My first time trying it. I am lucky to have such a gem so close to home. Well done !“

“Awesome (Chicken) Katsu Curry. Got it while visiting a friend and already planning on getting it again next time I’m in town. Super friendly staff. Got it to go and they had the chicken, rice, and curry all organized and separated so it didn’t get mushy in transport. A great sign that they take pride in the quality of their food.“

“After sightseeing all around Astoria, I found this Japanese restaurant using Google Maps.
I was after the lunch hour so only a couple of people were there.
I decided to try the lunch special. I got tonkatsu, my favorite.
It came with a nice bowl of hot soup. As you can see from the picture, it was a full portion of food. The tonkatsu was nicely cooked and all delicious.
The hostess was exceptionally nice and friendly.
A very nice dining experience.“
