Now renovated and called “Omakase Ichi.” Which translates to First class Custom Sushi. Little Neck’s little secret that has EXPLODED on the scene recently. Masters. fair prices, that is all you have to know

I went there yesterday and found that they were temporarily closed for renovation. The sign on the door stated that they will reopen in mid-March. They should update the restaurant’s outgoing message so customers are informed. It would have saved my family a trip last night. It is poor customer service from the management because they just don't care.
Extremely underwhelming and overpriced. Made my rolls with brown rice without asking if that was okay?! Who does that? The server was very attentive in suggesting what to order; I now realize it was an attempt to circumvent the fact that everything I wanted to order off of their VERY limited menu was unavailable. Not even avocado. The "spicy" classic roll trio were bland and scant, effortlessly overpowered by the very high-quality wasabi and ginger compliment. The specialty Spider roll amounted to much more of the same; featuring a meager 5 larger pieces of brown rice encased over-breaded fried bits of soft shell that left all to the imagination and much to be desired for $17.50. The Dynamite appetizer arrived after the main and amounted to not much more than warm seafood salad served on a Scallop shell. And the Miso Cod small bite was just that; indulgently spare yet barren of the flavor and complexity that would warrant the miniscule presentation and the pompous price tag. Oh, and the website says it has a full bar but upon inquiry, just some Saki and one tap beer option. I'm not sure why the discrepancy, but no libation to drown your Epicurean sorrows in while regretting your dining choice at this stylishly minimally decorated establishment.

This is definitely a gem in the neighborhood. This is my second time here this week. Yea, this good! Best uni and scallops in New York! So creamy and sweet! Everything is so fresh. They have a bar with a variety of drinks too. High quality fish, great ambience, beautiful presentation, awesome service! Will definitely come back again… probably next week!

100% recommended. My friend brought me here to eat. The waiter was very considerate and nice. The sushi fish was very fresh. The chef would carefully introduce each dish.

I patronized this restaurant for dinner and ordered omakase, the food was average and the service was poor.

Called an hour prior to then closing and said I would be there in a half hour and could I still be seated. She said sure no problem. When I showed up her and the manager said I’m sorry but we can’t serve any sushi because we are closing in a half hour. I drove 40 minutes to get there. YOUR A SUSHI RESTAURANT, WHY ELSE WOULD J BE COMING THERE?! complete waste of time and arrogance from the manager and women who took my call. Will never ever come here again or let any of my friends come here. Learn how to treat your customers with respect !

The experience was great, the price was reasonable, and the fish was fresh! I think it is the best sushi in Little Neck. It is also very convenient for friends who live in Flushing to come here. The bosses Ben and Jimmy are very welcoming, and we had a great time drinking sake bombs.

Have the unagi don and toro don. The food is fresh, I am not feeling the way the toro tartare is served but it is absolutely delicious. Compare to nearby restaurants, I would say prize wise is similar, quality of food is higher, but portion size is smaller. I enjoyed my dinning experience but would budget for extra food if go back next time

Had the most horrific experience after eating a few sushi rolls and miso soup at Tara japanese. I'm usually the least sensitive when it comes to sushi related illness but everything I ate from this place the night before, I threw up the next morning. Pretty sure it was caused by food poisoning from the food, most likely the sushi. I had a very important family event the next day and felt sick the whole day. Have been here a number of times but will not be coming back again. Owner offered a discount on a future order. Convinced the sushi made me sick, the least the owner could do is offer a refund. Just a matter of principle.

Their sushi meat wasn’t tough and rubbery like it is in most sushi places and the house sake was a hit. The food came out immediately and the staff were nice. Plus the bathroom was fairly clean.FYI we came on a night where it wasn’t too busy. But I had no complaints about the service.The only thing is that the price might be too high for some people, and the portion sizes may be slightly smaller. But the high quality of the food made it worth it for me.
