50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Oakland Gardens

“We order take out from here maybe once a month and we always get a large order when we do. Their food is always fresh, flavorful, and leaving us feeling fulfilled and satisfied! Their rolls have an excellent filling to rice ratio! My youngest son loves their California Rolls and anytime we get them elsewhere, he says he prefers from Sushi You. They are very thoughtful of presentation, preparation, and protection of the food en route. Super friendly on the phone and they always double check the order placed. Thanks for your excellent food and service! We'll continue to support you!“

“Felt rushed and half way through meal had to ask for the white rice we ordered! Noodles were over abundant tasteless and unnecessary! We sat with no plates while the rest of table ate fried rice! Lobster was overcooked as was filet! We advised anniversary but nothing was done! Have rest of meal for dinner tonight! I'll let you know! Dessert wasn't offered and menu was black with gray print hardly readable“

“Delicious fresh food and amazing drinks! Celebrated my friend’s bday there and we had a 12 course menu! Great atmosphere and the DJ was a great touch! Had a great time at Kaizen.“

“Was very good meat and the atmosphere nice .“

“Fantastic speakeasy sushi joint. Very small, no more than an handful of people may join the omasake style bar where 3 talented (and cool) chefs serve you the best crafted sushi you can get. Definitely going back soon.“

“Good food and good service 👍“

“Mr sushi always treats us so well. Excellent white fish complimentary which is a lovely way to begin this exquisitely delicious culinary experience. The staff is sensationally kind and the music just tops it off so well. I would reccomend anyone to come here.“

“Lovely place we enjoyed it it was very cool“

“Great service, the food is such a great value when you go for happy hour, but even normal price hand roll set is a good deal. Very tasty sashimi, my favorite were the salmon roll and yellowtail hand roll.
The cold sake was very good for the price.
Server was friendly and attentive.
Would definitely come back!“

“I come here all the time with my son and we love love Ting and Max, especially Andy! Best kindest service. Quality delicious foods. They keep adding more variety to the menu and everything is always a hit! This restaurant is our family favorite!“

“I love this sushi place, best sushi in queens for such amazing quality and price. I love their salmon combo it’s the PERFECT amount of sushi, our top sushi spot for a Friday night in. Just please stop forgetting to throw the spicy mayo in the bag! (They did refund for it so it’s ok)“

“Great place for a quick bite at a nice price! I had the Thinly Sliced Beef Donburi. It also came with egg, seaweed salad, and a nice miso soup to top it off. The beef was cooked very well and had a smoky flavor I’ve had in some of my favorite places in Japan. Would definitely come back here! 😁“

“Absolutely fantastic! We ordered the chicken teriyaki, garlic soy wings, spring rolls, and dumplings, and every single dish was incredibly delicious. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and made with great-quality ingredients. The garlic soy wings were especially amazing!
The staff were also incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Great food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend this place, and I will definitely be coming back!“

“I ordered the chicken bento box, very delicious. I also ordered the chicken poke bowl, my daughter says that it was very delicious, and I also ordered the California roll, of course that was amazing. Hands down, this place is very clean, the people there are very nice and the fool is very delicious.“

“Small cozy spot with a relaxed atmosphere. You order at the bar and the service is quick and friendly. No alcohol, but the focus is clearly on the food. The menu is small but thoughtfully put together, and everything feels fresh. The handroll sushi is especially great and definitely worth trying. A nice casual place to stop by when you want quality sushi without the fuss.“

“Yummy!!!!! ummmmm!!!!! Thi shrimp platter the sushi!!!!“

“I highly recommend! The design and food is awesome.“

“There are many shops and they have parking“

“Hands down one of the best Asian restaurants in NYC. Easily the best in the Bronx. Party of 12 was accommodated at a late hour with warmth, attention, humor and generosity. We were not rushed out and we were given a discount. You won't regret anything you order here, and the owners are a treasure!“

“Another amazing dinner from Katsuno. Our favorite authentic Japanese restaurant in NYC came through for us once again, this time with take-out. Tonight we had the Tuna Avocado Salad, Nigiri Sushi, Pork Hirekatsu, and Tempura Udon. All served with a refreshing can of Funaguchi Kikusui Sake. Everything was fresh and delicious as always and served curbside in a safe no contact manner. Thank you Katsuno!“

“fresh and delicious! great customer service!“

“Oda is absolutely the best; he’s so friendly and passionate about what he does. His ramen and nori sandwich are the best I’ve ever had and his seaweed salad is delicious too. Absolutely the best Japanese food spot in the Jackson Heights area.“

“muy buena atención, exelente todo 👍“

“Okay, I fell in love with this spot tonight. We were looking for a place to watch the Knicks game and they had a giant TV and were playing it inside the restaurant. The owners were watching it too as they are big fans and the energy was so good, we ended up staying there until the end. We also ordered the katsu that came with dumplings and a lil avocado salad and the veggie fried rice. The food was delicious and fresh and I could tell it had been prepared with attention. The owners are Japanese/Peruvian so you know the food is excellent.“

“I just tried the Thai tea and it was delicious !!! 😋“

“This place was incredibly beautiful and the omakase was delicious! The chef was attentive and kind, as was the staff. They made the evening more special by giving us a complimentary cheesecake to celebrate my anniversary. Great experience, great food, great environment! Will be returning!“

“very tasty. great price. great staff.“

“This spot is a neighborhood GEM. I hope the people living here know this. Best Sushi and sashimi for miles around. Solid everytime. The fish is kept well and served well. The whole family works here and they are so nice and friendly. The dad who is the sushi chef has one of the fastest hands around. He just cranks the orders out like butter. The store has about 6 tables but they are never packed. But while I dine in the takeout orders are endless. This man can handle it all and still can chat with you.I wish I lived nearby.... Lucky you, Mineola...“

“Yummy food and very clean“

“I love sushi, and the food at this restaurant is very good. The ingredients are also very fresh. The most important thing to eat Japanese food is the freshness of the ingredients. Especially raw food. The sushi at this restaurant is quite delicious. The combination of soy sauce and rice, in addition to fresh ingredients. It is simply delicious. Highly recommended to everyone.“

“i love yuzu!! i always order for delivery and am always satisfied. the person who takes my order over the phone is very sweet and makes sure to double check my order. i always tip because they deserve it! their dinner bento boxes are the best, a lot of food for an amazing price!! everything tastes wonderful, no complaints. i also ordered their mango mochi for the first time and loved it!! thank you yuzu!“

“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!“

“very tasty. great price. great staff.“

“Has become my favorite local place to eat. Whether with family friends or by myself. They are so friendly and accommodating. A must try!“

“I love going here for dinner. When you walk in you are greeted with smiling faces and the atmosphere is always happy. You feel like family when you go in.“

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

“It was a wonderful experience , considering it is my first time. We had to wait a few minutes to get our table for 4 but that’s okay! The employees were super nice and went out of their way to pull and extra table for us. I loved the authentic atmosphere. The lighting, decor, and the overall feeling of the restaurant was great! And amazing food. My family loved what we ordered and the matcha cheesecake for dessert was so good! Compliments to the chef! I could definitely see myself coming back here again, whether alone or with family or friends. Well done, Nippon Cha!“

“This is some of the best sushi I have ever had. Super fresh ingredients and the sushi so good I didn’t require dipping sauce. I highly recommend.“

“Absolutely delicious, food is amazing, if your able to sit down and eat it's a nice spot to do so. But because the food is good, it gets pretty packed. Great prices for alot of food. And the Fried chicken Dumplings are great. I ate them so fast I didn't take a picture. ? ?“

“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.“

“Upscale Japanese cuisine, very friendly staff. For sure one of the best Japanese restaurant in Long Island. I enjoyed!“

“Great food. Fantastic service.“

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

“You guys are the best, delicious food and beautiful presentation 👍👍☺️☺️😋😋“

“Ordered for a company event. The owner was super nice, and the prices were very reasonable. The sushi was incredibly fresh, and they beautifully arranged the sushi on a large boat with appetizers on a smaller boat. The boat presentation immediately caught our guests’ attention and made the whole setup look unique and special. Our guests loved it! Highly recommend for private parties or events.“

“very tasty. great price. great staff.“

“Absolutely loved this hibachi restaurant! The food was incredibly delicious, and you could really taste how fresh all the ingredients were. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Their drinks were amazing too—the perfect complement to the meal. The overall experience was fantastic, and I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great hibachi!“

“Beautiful venue and the food is awesome!!“
