“quality sushi for what seems like a 100 years. Amazing service and one of the most welcoming environments in long beach“

“Food always fresh and delicious, staff friendly.“

“Very good place to relax and have some drinks. Food is stupendous exquisite 😋 more than 5 stars“

“Very enjoyable sushi restaurant. I went here for a good dinner and was able to try a good spread of sushi for a reasonable cost.We started with the pork gyoza, which was nice and pan-fried with a side of the classic ginger sauce. For rolls, we tried the Philly roll, atlantic beach roll, pink panther roll, and million dollar roll. All fresh and tasty, but nothing really stood out above the rest.I would recommend this place for some good choices of sushi.

Parking: Parking is across the street in the lot.“

“This is a family owned storefront restaurant that serves delicious Japanese food at affordable prices. The portions are generous and the service is outstanding. We had three teriyaki entrees: tofu, chicken, and steak. Each came with soup and salad. Not a dining experience but great for takeout.“

“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 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“

“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!“

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

“muy buena atención, exelente todo 👍“

“My husband and I come here quite often. We have always had a good experience. The food is fresh and the service is speedy. We have a few rolls and dishes we almost always order and add a new item every so often to give it a try. Our drink of choice is a zombie.“

“I got food to takeaway and the portions were huge, especially for the price! I opted for the fried pork gyozas, a chicken and beef hibachi and a Pepsi and it was $21. Crazy.

The food was cooked fresh, was incredibly efficient and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere and the service from the staff was really warm and I’m glad I chose to go with Hibachi Express this evening.

Thank you!“

“I ordered take out party platters over the phone for the workplace this past Thursday and my co-workers and I couldn't have been more pleased. The initial ordering process was smooth. Pickup was on time at 12pm even though they only open at 1130am. And the sushi, as always, was fresh and delicious. Each party platter could easily feed 4-5 people and are reasonably priced. Everyone wants to order from here again in the future (even with work being in Westbury).“

“Best sushi on the south shore.“

“Love love this place! Our new go to“

“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!“

“Delicious and fresh food. Entire family enjoyed!“

“Food is awesome and tastefully delicious 😘😋😋Staff are so friendly and cordial 😊🥢🥢“

“Omg this place makes great food. Get the hamburger. I was so impressed with the quality, presentation and flavor. This is one special spot.“

“We came in on a Sunday about 8:40, well before the listed 9:30 closing time, and were warned as we came in that they actually close at 9:20. It seemed odd that it would be an issue with plenty of time to order; but apparently unlike most restaurants the closing time is a matter of when they expect you to actually leave.

Still, with seemingly enough time, we ordered, and the appetizer - soft shell crab - came quickly. Unfortunately, though it was not one of the dishes listed as “spicy”, it came with spicy mayo on top. I told the server that I can’t eat spicy food, would not have ordered it if I had known, and asked her to take it back. She gave me an argument, saying I should have told her I can’t eat spicy food. I pointed out that since they list some dishes specifically as spicy, one would assume - as in most other restaurants - that the rest are not. She reluctantly took it back, and informed us the Angel Roll we had ordered, also not labeled spicy, came with spicy mayo on top as well, so we also asked for that to be redone.

This pushed things closer to closing time, and rushed our meal a bit. But I have to say that the food was wonderful: The crab crisp outside, moist inside; the sushi fresh, and the pineapple shrimp fried rice delicious.

So despite the unfortunate attitude we encountered, this restaurant is well worth the trip for the excellent food. Just keep in mind that the closing time is not what’s listed on the website. And that it’s best, whatever the menu says, to ask details before ordering.“

“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.“

“It’s just real good !! They check all the boxes ! Go enjoy a nice dinner or lunch !“

“The freshest sushi you'll find.“

“The service is great. The people are even better. This place reminds me of why I fell in love sushi in the first place. The sushi is super fresh. I am allergic to shellfish and I have never had a problem with cross contamination. I love the bodywork’s! I highly recommend it!!!“

“i got the teriyaki chicken and shrimp and it was so good! my boyfriend got it a week before and gave me a bite. had me craving it for a week and when i finally got it, did not disappoint. we split a plate and it was more than enough for both of us come come come !“

“Food is always fresh, innovative and delicious. cons service: you feel like you are on a 1/2 hour lunch “rush” no matter day or evening. While enjoying your appetizer and warm sake, the wait staff piles down your entree …. I’ve learned to order my entree after I’ve completely finished my app. going for years, wait staff no personable skills though very polite. Decor cosmopolitan, they spent a lot of money on the chairs but now the faux leather vinyl is sagging, peeling and it’s hard to find a comfortable seat. I overall love and support this hidden diamond in the rough Asian restaurant“

“Unbelievable! Great food, great fun, and the best service! Can’t wait to go back!“

“I love coming here but this is the first time I've been really disappointed. I ordered their tartar and typically a restaurant gives you chips to eat with it, but they gave three Pringles for the large amount of tartar, which is really unreasonable and when I asked for more they gave exactly 3 again. So while I would return, I would never order that again. “

“Great food, great service😊“

“The Absolute Beat hibachi ever!!! Amazing people and the freshest foods ever!!! We love going to Merrick Suki!!!“

“My wife and I went for lunch on our Anniversary. We both ordered the Red Snapper special for the first time. WOW!!! It was the absolute best Asian dish we ever had. We will definitely be adding this tour menu selection from now on. HIGHLY recommended.“

“I just wanted to get something quick, I found out they had cards they can stamp to eventually get a free meal. I’ve been here about 4 other times and no other cashier has ever mentioned that to me until Alexa did tonight. She ended up giving me two for filled up cards which she didn’t have to. Her customer service was fantastic. And would definitely keep coming again. Everyone is very nice and friendly in there. Would recommend.“

“Absolutely recommend. Try the sashimi pizza. It’s phenomenal. Everything about the place is great. Well worth the visit.“

“We love ordering from Sunny! Food is really delicious and price is just right. Our favorites are the hibachi chicken and steak with the fried rice and the chicken and steak quesadillas. Depending on the time of your order, delivery can sometimes take an hour, but on a not so busy hour, can be delivered at your door in 30 minutes. Definitely recommend ?“

“I loved the Teriyaki meal I purchased with shrimp! They also had awesome customer service to go along with it. I was met with a smile and the staff was very polite. The Chicken teriyaki has a nice savory taste and crunch to it almost. Cooked perfectly and It's a bit sweet. Right amount of seasoning and I loved that. It's some of the best Teriyaki i've purchased. I will be returning and I recommend trying their food.“

“First time trying Mr. J sushi after a very long time of driving past. I have to my experience was great. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The sushi was fresh and delicious. Many options to choose from. I’d def be coming back to try the sashimi.“

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

“Taste good“

“Had sushi from them 3 times this week!! We love it! The salmon is delicious and the crazy tuna roll is our favorite! Yummy.“

“If you’re looking for the most delicious Asian cuisine & sushi and have never been to Sakura, you don’t know what you are missing! This is our favorite place for dinner, take out & party platters for special occasions. Their food is always a work of art & so yummy! Whether you order ala carte or take advantage of their all you can eat menu, you will leave happily satisfied, every single time!“

“We ordered takeout so we cannot say much about the service or atmosphere of the restaurant.

We enjoyed the sushi rolls we ordered (eel avocado and spicy yellowtail). The flavors were good and they were generous with the fillings. We liked that they included mini sauce pates to put soy sauce in.

The kimchi tofu soup was a bit disappointing for the price. It looked nothing like the pictures online and flavor-wise, it tasted like the diluted juice from a kimchi container (which I don’t hate but for $8 an order, I expected a little more).“

“Absolutely 💯 out of 10 Service Servers Food Experience Amazing!! do not miss out!! we will definitely be back!!“

“I tried this spot a few weeks ago for the first time and I can't stop going back. The sushi is soo good great quality and taste is top tier but I came here to review the incredible service from the lovely people who work there. So kind they run a lovely cozy establishment and i'll be a customer forever! <3“

“My girlfriend and I visited the restaurant! The cuisine pleased us with exquisite dishes and affordable prices. The atmosphere is imbued with the spirit of ancient Japan. The most tender, like balloons, shrimps were especially memorable. The only thing missing to complete the picture is craft beer. As I understand it, only bottled beer is available, but unfortunately, there is no draft beer. Although, perhaps, I did not have time to think everything through.“

“Nice atmosphere in in a small 40 seat dining room. The portions are a bit too large, however maintain qualify. Chef note, the soups could be updated for broth flavor, the eggplant and tofu needs a sauce update. The nassau sushi is perfect. The shrimp tempura is perfect and the fry oil is Fresh! The owner is very attentive to the restaurant operation. I will return.“

“best Hibachi restaurant on long Island 5 stars worth the drive.“

“An absolute and unexpected fantastic experience. The high quality food was freshly prepared and the service was so polite and friendly. They really understand takeout and pack the sauces and liquids separately so the food doesn't become soggy. The sushi and sashimi are prepared to order but they are very efficient and the wait time is not so long. Mizu is a huge step up from the usual asian takeout. It's restaurant quality.“
