50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Old Bethpage

“Truly a hidden gem!! This authentic Korean restaurant beats out popular spots in the city. We were greeted warmly upon entry and immediately served tea and a wide assortment of banchan (the tiny side dishes). We started with Pajeon (seafood & green onion pancake) and honestly I’ve had this in countless places and it was the best Pajeon I have ever had- not soggy at all, and the seafood was tender and not annoyingly chewy. Also had the Japchae (excellent), Combo #1 (LA Galbi Short Rib and and soft tofu stew) and a summer special of chilled buckwheat noodles. The portions were generous and the wait staff really were attentive and so helpful. The place has a homey feel like you’re at your favorite auntie’s house. 10/10, no notes, this will be in my heavy rotation.“

“We celebrated my son’s 21st birthday yesterday and really enjoyed this hibachi experience! Ted and team were professional, friendly and provided a great entertainment to all! Thank you so much from our family!🎈🎊🎉“

“This the 2nd time I was here and they do not disappoint. The 1st pic was the pork soup, the 2nd pic which is fron my 1st visit was the wonton soup which is my favorite. The pork one is good, but the soup tastes like gravy it was a bit much for me. And the 3rd pic is the chips very light I luv love them. Oh, and I had a glass of mohito“

“Delicious food, amazing service!“

“Delicious! The Lunch Bento Box is huge and very reasonably priced for all that you get. 1st you are served a small mixed greens salad with a very tasty homemade ginger dressing. Next was a bowl of miso soup, also very good. Then a beautiful leaf shaped dish arrived with the most delicious full sized sushi roll. We had the vegetable tempura roll that had tempura broccoli, zucchini and sweet potato in it. After that course, the actual Bento box arrived with sliced NY strip steak teriyaki. Cooked perfectly. There was also a portion of white rice, 3 shumai pieces and if that wasn't enough: there was also a section with tempura shrimp, pumpkin, zucchini and sweet potato. Needless to say we walked out of here stuffed and very satisfied. The price was extremely reasonable for ALL that you get and everything was tasty and fresh. Definitely worth going to. And the restaurant has a very calming decor.“

“Amazing authentic Ramen and apps were delicious!!!“

“Excellent food!! Best one I've been to in Babylon!“

“Awesome sushi. Seafood soups are great.“

“The service is always great, delicious food.“

“Best sushi in Long Island“

“The best sushi you will ever have. The rest of the food is just as good. Friendly helpful staff. This is my family’s favorite spot.“

“My go-to sushi spot every single time.
Their sushi is always fresh, flavorful, and just hits whenever I’m craving something good. The portions are solid, and they’re super reliable with timing. Plus, the owners are genuinely so kind. They always make you feel welcome, even with takeout. I’ve tried a bunch of places, but nothing beats how consistently good this one is. If you love sushi, this place won’t let you down.“

“Very nice staff and good food“

“Ate here for the second time last night...loud (crowded full on a Friday night) but we were still able to hear each other. Food has been very good both times...very fresh, very tasty. Best miso soup I've ever had, but shumai was bland. We polished off two special rolls -- Holy Tuna and American Dream -- and thoroughly enjoyed them. I had the pomegranate cocktail and would have loved another but I am on Weight Watchers now, lol! Service was courteous but split between the servers, and rushed due to the crowd, but everything came quickly with precise artistry and the hot foods were served good and hot...no complaints at all about the food quality, which is why this place has such a great reputation. Of course, we'll come again!“

“Wow!! BEST SUSHI 🍣 by far in the area!!! And the owner is very nice and attentive. We went there for the first time last night. My husband is a sushi addict and he was impressed! I had tuna with apple slices snd rice with chicken. I highly recommend Masa!“

“We go because the owners are the nicest people ever! Everything is always great“

“Such a wonderful spot!! The food is always amazing and the hibachi chefs we've encountered are top notch and have such a talent!! Even as an adult I'm still mesmerized by the stuff they pull off while cooking. This is now my son's new favorite place to eat, even if he doesn't want to catch the food they toss lol. We will most definitely be returning!“

“Steven and his staff are the best! Food is fresh, well presented and delicious! Very attentive service! Thank you for taking my challenge and crushing it. I walked in and said feed me with no holding back. I did not even look at a menu And they knocked it out of the park! Thank you again!!! Until next time!🙏 A+++++++++++++“

“great Arata special sushi Rolls were awesome! All around great sushi meal!!!“

“I enjoyed the ramen very much

You walk up and order your meal, and I recieved it very quickly

As an anime fan, I enjoyed the atmosphere very much, ramen is a common reoccurring meal in the anime Naruto, which is prominently used for decoration

They also have the largest portion of pork chashu I have ever had and It was delicious and chared to perfection“

“Delicious! Juicy dumplings, pizza sushi - amazing. Very fresh, great service. 👍🏼“

“So happy you're back. We missed you!!! Ordered last night and everything was amazing as usual!!!“

“Love the family owned restaurant. A true culinary masterpiece. roppongi sushi has such fresh and tasty food. Top Japanese quality. Sushi chef Bendy makes every piece absolutely delicious. The sushi rice is perfectly balanced with the seafood. A true hidden gem.“

“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.“

“Dozo Dozo is a hidden gem! Their lunch specials are a fantastic deal…generous portions and great quality. I’ve also ordered dinner several times and especially love the Japanese fried chicken and crispy tuna. The salmon bento box is another favorite of mine. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, the service is consistently excellent. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing place. I was making a delivery when I stumbled upon it and I tried their menu. I love their sushi, I am on a roll of trying it all, but I'm stuck on the spider roll it's so good I can't move past it.... I like to call in advance so I don't have to wait but they're always quick. Super healthy and delicious lunch/dinner options!!“

“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.“

“This place was so cute and the service was amazing, I saw this restaurant on Instagram and I automatically wanted to go. It was about a 30 minute Drive for me and it was 100% worth it. Everyone here was so nice love love love love 100% would come back.“

“It was a great time. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Sitting with total strangers that were like friends before the night was over!!“

“The atmosphere, in terms of noise, took me a bit of getting used to (the glass of wine probably helped to mellow me out). The service is efficient, patient and friendly. The chef was very personable and the food was delicious! The experience was fun and delectable.“

“We have only eaten here a handful of times but each time the food is fresh for both dine in & take our. I love the 20% off when you order on-line. The staff is very friendly and accommodating allowing my daughter to customize her bento box. Tonight we took out & I left my phone on the bar. The staff held it for me in the register until I returned to get it. They definitely won me as their customer!“

“Wow! Usually I’m not impressed with the quality of AYCE food. But this place was different. The same owner as The One Sushi 🍣 in Amityville which serves good food. This place charges $35 for all you can eat! What a deal. They charge extra for Crab 🦀 Boil and for Sashimi. But still a great bargain for quality food. Give this place a try before it gets too crowded, prices go up, and the quality goes down. 😀. Card payment is accepted. We will definitely be going back.“

“We always have a good time here. Food is great and the chefs are fun!“

“Best sushi place on Long Island. Friendly people everything is made super fresh. Always a good time there’s always giving you a little extra.“

“Excellent, fresh and warm atmosphere.“

“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 love sushi, and the sushi bar is awesome. There specialty rolls are fantastic. I love there sushi/sashimi platter for 2... I usually buy 2 or 3 appetizers and it can absolutely feed 3. Haven't had a meal here that I didn't thoroughly enjoy.“

“Great food&crew. definitely recommended“

“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 !“

“Great vibe and food! Excellent service“

“Food and environment was amazing, but service was not it. I've been to different hibachi's where the waitresses are constantly making sure the food is good, making sure you're doing fine and if you need a refill, here on the other hand you're lucky enough to even get someone's attention to get anything else you need. If anything, this hispanic waitress was doing more and helping more than them, they were not doing anything. Also, if you don't happen to leave tip, they will run after you.“

“very nice fresh and delicious food“

“Great Hibachi experience! Staff friendly & service was good. Food was delicious!“

“all you can eattttttt...“

“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.“

“Awesome Fresh Sushi every time!“

“My wife and I walked in for dinner without a reservation maybe two months ago at around 6:30 on a Saturday. Since the wait was a bit longer than usual we were kindly given a plate of Edamame on the house. That's when we noticed that our server was working the entire dining room by herself after another called in sick last-minute.Being short staffed is a challenge on any night but this was a packed house on Saturday night with a large number of take-out orders flowing and the team stepped up with impressive dexterity. Given the circumstances mistakes can happen but we didn't notice any.Our meals were delicious, creative and beautiful. We've since returned several times for the great food but the real triumph that night was how well everyone in the front house performed.

Kid-friendliness: We saw several kids having a great time!“

“What a find! Nestled next to the Dunkin Donuts and where Rite Aid used to be. Well run establishment. Orders take some time but always come out perfect. Plus the food is cooked in less oily or starch heavy ways. I know there are times where one has to be in the mood for Chinese takeout but you won’t mind eating here a few nights in a row. So tasty and fresh. You don’t feel disgusted or bloated afterwards. It’s satisfying. You get something simple as chicken with vegetables and it’s delicious. The veggies are scrumptious. Don’t feel like chugging a gallon of water later either. Definitely a healthier option for takeout. Plus there’s a sushi bar with several options too. As well as several Japanese dishes cooked with tempura and ever popular miso. Started getting the soup instead of egg roll with my meal and it’s sublime. No worries about having to ask for or pay extra for white meat chicken. Again I can’t get over how fresh the food tastes and just the well fed feeling afterwards. Highly recommend this lovely little place.“
