50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Long Beach

“delicious and excellent ramen will be back“

“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.“

“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!“

“Food always fresh and delicious, staff friendly.“

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

“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.“

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

“I work across the street and over the past year this family owned restaurant has become my go to for lunch.
The lunch menu prices are more than fair and the food is delicious and the healthy, especially for this area.

I always recommend my coworkers, freelancers on a shop day, and even clients to try out Yoho. Now they're also regulars!
They even share a free parking lot behind their store which is very convenient.“

“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“

“If you’re looking for the best Sushi I would definitely recommend Mr J Sushi ! The owners are amazing super friendly and always try’s to make me a special order! My family and I been getting sushi from here for years I won’t stop! Definitely recommend:)“

“muy buena atención, exelente todo 👍“

“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!“

“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!“

“Mandy, Tina and Yoyo make my drink the best out of all the places I've had drinks at. The service and food are toptch notch. Love the fact that they know what I am drinking and get it to me as soon as I sit down. We eat n drink here almost every week while doing laundry next door. Haven't been disappointed yet.“

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

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

“Beautiful venue and the food is awesome!!“

“This place has been around for a very long time, the owner is and always has been so hospitable. The food always fresh and tasty. Streamed shrimp shumai is a mustttt! I had the maki eel and dragon roll and it was great. Jazz was playing on the stereo which made the perfect ambiance for me. I will always come back.“

“Best sushi on the south shore.“

“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).“

“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!“

“The freshest sushi you'll find.“

“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.“

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

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

“Delicious and fresh food. Entire family enjoyed!“

“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.“

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

“Taste good“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Had no idea what we were missing. It's so important to patronize local businesses. We received a welcoming greeting when we entered. Our server was nice. She checked in periodically and ensured our table had everything we needed.

Comfortable setting. Decor fitting and on theme.

We ordered several sushi rolls. Hard to choose a favorite. We also had the Gyoza and the fried chicken wings. Everything was freshly made and delicious.

I'm sure we'll return as my son seemed to really enjoy the food.“

“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!“

“Came here for lunch with Mr two kids and it was a nice experience. Food was really really good!! I can't remember a time my daughter has finished a plate and she finished all her food. My son had his Sushi and I had mine and everything was really delicious! Lovely service too!“

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

“Great food, great service😊“

“Had taken my family here today. Appetizers were just right to intoduce you to your main course! ..the miso soup..the calamari..the tempura..the coconut shrimp. We craved for Ramen since our last Japan trip weeks ago so we had this idea to try it here. Savoring the Kinha Ramen took us back in time when we were in Japan enjoying this noodle dish. You have to try it along side a Japanese soda drink! My family had a welcoming experience which provided an atmosphere of just being ourselves to enjoy family time while enjoying palatable dishes. This restaurant also has an area for those meet ups that calls for to be a little more private and still be relaxed by the bubbly fizz in your glass. Paula, the manager of the place, was very attentive which made this dining experience a very pleasant one. Thanks Paula and your crew. Oh, wait! Don't forget the desert selection, if you still have room.. You won't regret it.“

“Have been ordering for many years from this little local restaurant and finally realized I had never written a review. It must have been because our guests could not stop raving about how delicious the sushi and everything else we ordered and picked up to eat at home.
The sushi has always been very fresh, delicious and the presentation is always lovely!“

“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.“

“I absolutely love this place.. been going to them for years... All staff is amazing!! food is fresh and delicious... ❤ can not wait til this is all over and you open back up!“

“Sunny in Far Rockaway is honestly such an absolute hidden gem. If you’re looking for peak comfort food that actually hits the spot, this is the place to be. The menu is incredibly fresh, light, and healthy

it’s honestly living rent-free in my head right now. Their handmade thick udon noodles are an absolute standout, especially the curry udon which has the most perfect, rich depth of flavor and just the right amount of kick. On top of the phenomenal food, the staff is always so genuinely warm, welcoming, and remarkably fast with every order.

The entire space is consistently immaculate and has such an inviting, cozy neighborhood energy. It fully deserves all the local love it gets, and I’m already planning my next visit! 🍣🍱“

“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.“

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

“An incredible early dinner tonight at Taku in Garden City 🍣✨
We started with a delicate Shrimp Wonton Soup 🍲 — light, clean, and incredibly comforting. Then came the Mexican Roll 🌮🍣, perfectly balanced with fresh tuna and avocado.
The Spicy Salmon Tartare 🔥🥑 was beautifully presented and served with crunchy spicy wasabi crackers that added the perfect texture and kick. And the Spicy Crunchy Rock Shrimp 🍤🔥 were absolutely addictive — crispy, flavorful, and impossible to stop eating.
Every dish was fresh, creative, and beautifully plated. Even the details — like the elegant soup spoon — made the experience feel special.
Taku continues to be one of the gems of Garden City. Highly recommend. 🙌🍣✨“

“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).“

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

“I pretty much live across the street from mikado…I’ve been getting takeout from here since I moved to Lynbrook like 8 years ago….anybody who eats sushi often enough is going picky about where they go…i am super picky……this place has always had excellent, fresh sushi….for years now“
