“I love going to Sherry Blossom! Food is amazing and healthy and the menu has been expanding. Best pork gyoza! Wish I could help open another store! Keep it up!“

“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.“

“Had a bento box for lunch and was really impressed! The ingredients were fresh, the presentation was beautiful, and the portions were generous. The tempura was perfectly crispy, and everything tasted great. Tina was so sweet, genuine, and welcoming — 10/10 would definitely come back“

“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!“

“muy buena atención, exelente todo 👍“

“Hidden Gem!! This is by far the best sushi I have ever had. I order from Toyo at least once a week! Everything is super fresh and the size of the sushi pieces is substantial. Their rolls are terrific. Would absolutely recommend! Delivery is exceptional, expect to wait about 30-40 minutes, but it is worth the wait.“

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

“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!“

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

“The environment of this restaurant is very good. The lady at the front desk took my order very carefully. The food is not only beautiful in appearance, but also tastes great. There are many choices of dishes and the price is not high. It is suitable for a try 👍“

“Best sushi on the south shore.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Honestly I haven't had sushi this fresh and high quality in a long time. Even the mango was perfectly ripe
(which is hit or miss at most restaurants). The salad greens were fresh and not wilted . I was impressed and will definitely go back.“

“The freshest sushi you'll find.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Delicious and fresh food. Entire family enjoyed!“

“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 !“

“KINHA SUSHI IS THE SPOT!!

The atmosphere is amazing and the food is too good. My server made great suggestions. I love sushi but my Dad is not for raw fish. So I'm always looking for a spot that gives me that sea and land mix for him. Kinha is that perfect balance. Great for father-daughter dinners.

He says it's a little better than our usual spot in RVC.

Important tips: Remember to go in through the back where there's parking!“

“Great food, great service😊“

“Love love this place! Our new go to“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Amazing food, ordered here in the past and had the best Japanese food I have had outside the city. Hell, they are in my top 2 now and the 1st place is a 5 star place. Perfectly prepared, flavors are on point and freshness is there. Great portions for the price and I hope they only get better. Next time I go, I'll add some photos to show you how good it looks.“

“Taste good“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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 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.“

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

“Taku is a fantastic sushi spot! The staff are incredibly accommodating and friendly, ensuring a pleasant experience. The food is outstanding, especially the salmon tataki, which is a must-try. The outdoor seating is a lovely bonus. Highly recommend!“

“Me and my son have been coming here for years for the lunch specials. The prices got pretty steep over time which I could understand in this economy now but they never compromise the quality of freshness here which always keeps me coming back. Great service and always recognized and welcomed. They’ve pretty much watched my son grow up and we always are excited to have our sushi date here no matter what time of year. Always great“
