Kissaki Japanese Restaurant

would probably sell my organs on black market just to be able to eat here everyday.
Im obsessed. Food, service, drinks 10/10 I’m Kissaki’s biggest fan.

Ask anyone who truly knows and loves sushi what is most important and they will tell you it starts with the rice. From how it’s cooked to the rice vinegar seasoning and of course the temperature, it’s actually mostly about the rice. And does Kissaki not seem to know a thing about cooking rice. Overcooked, overly moist and hot rice — clearly whoever is making the sushi in the basement kitchen (which should be a warning sign when they don’t have a sushi bar) has no clue — means soggy seaweed and hard to chew rolls. Sorry to be harsh, but at this very high price point (we’re talking too NYC restaurant high) that is simply not acceptable. The quality of the fish was great, but that does not give this restaurant a pass. We are blessed on the north shore of Nassau County with a thriving Japanese community and a wide range of sushi restaurants to choose from at various price points. While this means the competition sets a high bar, it also means consumers have choices, and I choose never to come back here. Less than 10 mins drive north of Manhasset is Port Washington with no less than 3 far better (and actually slightly lower prices) restaurants including Yamaguchi, Tiga and Nikkei. The quality is incomparably better at any of those three places. Oh, and the slow pace of service and high noise level don’t help Kissaki either. Disappointed big time. I gave them a chance and they utterly failed.

Absolutely delicious restaurant with a wonderful ambiance. Perfect for a date night. It is moody and sumptuous but the tables are well lit. The food is excellent you really can't go wrong but I highly recommend the a5 wagyu appetizer. So flavorful and definitely the best bite of the evening.

what an amazing addition to manhasset! Pia was the best waitress and she knew everything there was to know about the menu. she gave fantastic recommendations, presented each dish flawlessly, and was so warm and welcoming the entire night - could not have asked for better service.

the food was impeccable and i was pleasantly surprised. easily the best sushi dinner i’ve ever had. the lychee martini? perfection. my son is a sushi aficionado and he couldn’t stop raving about the nigiri flight. my father was thrilled with his salad, soft shell crab roll, and black bass skewer, i was so so happy with my sashimi flight, and my mom loved each of her dishes. not a single thing we ordered was disappointing. HIGHLY recommend this spot if you love sushi!

Really disappointing to see the lunch hour on a Saturday to have one person running the whole restaurant. Also with a limited lunch menu as well. Not what I expected when I've been here for dinner many times and loved it. Just really not what I expected and won't be back for lunch

I've enjoyed going here so definitely was nice to celebrate my birthday. Got a few of the popular items apps and entrées. I'm Not easy, but thankfully was very pleased in the atmosphere was great my wife and I had a great time.

Food and service were great! We went there to celebrate my mom’s birthday and our waiter, Jun helped make my mom feel special. Such friendly staff :)
