50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Rego Park

“very tasty. great price. great staff.“

“Got Thai pepper stake, chicken with cashew nut, tempura roll, tom yum soup, duck salad and tonkatsu Ramen. They are all good. Actually i would say it's balanced between 2 worlds. It's flavorful enough to satisfied our asian taste but not overpowered like old schools foods so it's suitable for people of all ethic background. Example their duck salad is my wife favorite. It included avocado which normally are not in thai duck salad but somehow they make it work really well. She also praised the tonkatsu Ramen. She said it's tasty and delicious. My favorite is Thai pepper stake. When they brought out , my wife said oh I can smell aroma of spiciness, I think it's gonna be spicy and hot. It wasn't and it was pleasantly delicious. Just right amount of kick and sweetness. The service is really well too. the young lady named Muu took care of us and she was very polite and caring. Excellent service. The restaurant is Very well priced also. You get a lot of bang for your bucks. Overall very satisfied. We will definitely going back again and again“

“Amazing sushi and specialty rolls. The service is perfect and this spot will never disappoint. There are custom tables for large parties on the right side of the restaurant and incredible environment to talk and connect with your party without problems. Its also conveniently located near the subway“

“This place has been renamed to Shogun Sushi (at least the storefront). It is an average Chinese-run Japanese restaurant. Outdoor dining is available.I've only had the sushi from here several times; each time it was fresh and tasty. I wouldn't exactly say employees here are upbeat but my experience interacting with them has been positive to neutral.“

“Been eating here for years. Used to be a in a spot by Dry Harbor Road. Always had the best chinese around even by my family's standard and always delivered freshness compared tobthe competition. They have excellent customer service on the phone and in person. Even when they get slammed, they manage to get food to me in good condition.There are some hard working people here and it shows in the food and service. They got hit with a fire in their original spot a while back but came back and I had to come back too. The other spots around just werent up to par while they were gone. Jade Bamboo is underrated in my opinion and deserve recognition.“

“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.“

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!“

“The best homemade udon in town , strongly recommended“

“I came here a friend and had 2 rolls (salmon and tuna), one sea urchin, and one wagyu single piece. All the food was incredible. Some of the best sushi I've had in my life. My friend had 2 vegetarian rolls, which both were delicious. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that enjoys higher quality sushi, especially at lunch since they have some discounted rolls.“

“Excellent!!! Food, service, atmosphere 👍👍“

“This is such a cute place and the food was delicious! I came here for dinner with a friend and I got the Crispy and Spicy Sesame Chicken Donburi which was divine. The decor inside is super cute and cozy plus the service is excellent — they were so welcoming and efficient. Didn’t try the ramen this time but my friend did and it looked amazing. I will absolutely be coming back so maybe next time! Anyways, definitely recommend if you’re in the area“

“Amazing meal. The restaurant is just staffed by the host and the chef, but the service is impressively attentive. The host noticed I was left-handed and switched my place setting to accommodate that. The meal started with a puree of Japanese sweet potato with toppings like small rice crackers and ikura. Very refreshing and delicious! We then got 4 small dishes- grilled fish with peas and fish cake, fluke, soba with fresh shiitake, and water eggplant.
Then we had 8 courses of tempura- anago, peppers, shrimp, scallop, eggplant, crab, sweet potato, and seaweed with uni on it. This was followed by rice with wagyu beef and a dessert of strawberry and adzuki. Everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. The service was what really made the evening special- each dish was carefully explained, including what seasoning we should use to accompany the dish and everything was conveyed with warmth and a touch of humor. This place is a gem. Thank you for such an amazing meal!“

“Wonderful and friendly staff. Delish food.“

“Best omakase I’ve ever had in my life and we’ve had omakase all over across the country!

We only did the 12 course and regretted not doing the 17. We came for lunch at 12:30 on a Saturday and it was empty! Not many places open for lunch so I appreciated that they have lunch service. They also gave us some mochi for dessert to celebrate our honeymoon.

I’ll always recommend this spot and plan to visit every time I’m in New York.“

“First time dined at Torien on my husband’s birthday and we had a blast. Both service and foods were phenomenal. My chef Hideo is excellent and definitely will be back again soon:)
Only the dessert was least of my favorites.“

“Second to none! The ingredients are fresh and chef skills are world class.“

“Lingo was the perfect choice for a special celebration. I brought my daughter here and the night was great. It’s a beautiful space, genuinely warm and personable staff, and excellent Japanese-inflected food with a creative twist.

We did have one miss: the ribs were too fatty for our taste. But here's where Lingo service stepped in. Without any fuss, they took the dish off the bill and were so gracious about it. That kind of hospitality is rare and says a lot about how they run their restaurant.

Everything else was delicious and the vibe was just right for a celebratory dinner. I'll absolutely be back.“

“Just awesome. Fast. Efficient. Great.“

“First omakase experience and it was amazing 💖 my friends and I did the “endless series” omakase. Tbh it was already a lot of food, so by the end of it, we barely asked for additional sushi 😅 service was friendly and welcoming. The sushi was DELICIOUS (I am still dreaming of all the buttery fish we had). All the seafood was fresh and clean. Can’t wait to come back!“

“A very interesting menu. Great food and service. A must for every local and tourist.“

“Creative, fresh and delicious.“

“Lovely food lovely variety of japanees food“

“Good food and good service 👍“

“Some of the best ramen we've ever had. Wish we could have tried them all!! Fantastic.“

“Was very good meat and the atmosphere nice .“

“Great Service and the foods was delicious. Will come back here again.“

“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.“

“Phenomenal food exceeded by even better service and hospitality. We've been to their sister restaurant Konban and this spot is just as good if not better.

Music was dialed in for the Brooklyn crowd. Request the back patio for a cozy vibe.

We got the crudo, pork loin, mandu, scallop, and ramen and each was a hit in their own way. Really loved the mandu for being equally Korean and Japanese stylistically (the tuile is very clever!), and the scallop was the best I've had in a long, long time.

Shoutout to our server Cheer and the rest of the Konya team for the great experience!“

“Great sushi, fun vibe!
Sushi YOLO was a great find. The fish tasted fresh, the rolls were creative, and the portions were generous for the price. Service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere was relaxed and casual. It's a good spot for a night out with friends or a laid-back dinner. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!
Since I don't know what you ordered or how your visit went, please change anything that doesn't match your experience. If you tell me the dishes you had, the rating you want to give, or the tone (short and casual, detailed, or critical), I can tailor it.“

“Had an exceptional meal at Luya. The service, food and vibe were awesome and made two adults and a month old baby feel extremely welcome. Would recommend to anybody looking for date night or simply seeking really great quality sushi and omakase in the neighborhood. Their cocktails and drink menu are stellar and worthy of their own positive comment.“

“Randomly decided to dine here before a show at Webster Hall. Every single thing we ordered was absolutely delicious. Teppen gyoza, kimchi beef fried rice, dynamite roll, and mango martini. Definitely plan on returning.“

“My friends and I decided to visit Tomoni after a Japanese chef recommended it as one of his personal favorites in NYC, and I am so glad we took his advice. Standing outside, the restaurant immediately stood out because its sleek, modern facade was such a striking contrast to the surrounding worn-out exteriors. My initial impression was that if a place invests this much care into its presentation, the food is bound to be good. If this spot were located in Manhattan, there would undoubtedly be a line wrapped around the block.
Stepping inside, the interior felt incredibly deliberate and well-designed. Every single detail showed intention, from the rich maroon furniture and deep green brand colors to the playful squiggly logo, displayed vinyl record albums, and even the tactile texture of the menus and plates. The staff and servers were also super sweet and welcoming throughout our meal.
For our food, we ordered the two seasonal specials (the Double Thick-Cut Katsu Don and the Cream Udon), along with the Assorted Sashimi, Una-Tama Donburi, and the Mixed Fry Set. Every dish was outstanding. The sashimi was exceptionally fresh without a hint of fishiness, and the eel in the Una-Tama Donburi was perfectly balanced rather than plastered in heavy sauce. It was a well-executed lineup that I cannot imagine disappointing anyone.
While I did not use the restroom personally, my friend mentioned it was spotless, which completely aligns with how impeccably clean and well-maintained the rest of the dining area is. I am already looking forward to returning to try the rest of the menu.“

“Ramen is good ! Soup is good not so oily Yakitori good with Asahi Beeru !“

“After going to this place a second time for my anniversary, it only made sense for me to give a review to this omakase place.

The place is convivial, quiet and enjoyable. The chef is talented, friendly and knowledgeable about all types of fish and recipes. It is always a treat to savor some of his preparations.

The service is also quite thorough and personal. I appreciate how diligent and attentive the service staff is to our every need.

Overall, it is a marvelous experience each time and I would definitely be back if I am in the city again.“

“Wowoww 🥹🎀💗 the food was SO delicious I genuinely almost cried 😭✨ The salmon & tuna avocado were absolute perfection, and the gyozaaaaa 🥟💞 literally obsessed. And the butterfly pea yuzu lemonade?? So pretty and refreshing 🦋🍋💙 Everything was perfect 🩵🩵🩵 already dreaming about ordering from tora 🎀✨“

“We had a great meal here and were impressed with how smoothly everything went. The food came out hot and fresh, the staff was friendly, and we never had to wait long for anything. Everyone at the table enjoyed what they ordered. Definitely worth another visit.“

“A lot of good things about this place such as decor and our chef. Loved how he actually cares about each piece he makes and has such a pleasant mannerism (tho the overall vibe of the service was awkward and slightly cold in the beginning). We liked a lot of the pieces: quite fresh and diverse altho some of them taste Americanized and heavier (the truffle and the heavier sauce applied, for example). The service improved along the way tho. And the restroom can def be a bit more aligned with the decor outside.“

“Amazing music, service, and food—every single time. Ridgewood staple in my books, and should be in yours too. So fast and easy, but great vibes every time. I recommend the love boat because the sashimi is so fresh. Oh, and price is great too. LOVE.“

“We went to Shogun Omakase in New York yesterday for lunch. My son loves sushi and it was his birthday present (our first time experiencing Omakase). We were blown away! Seriously the best sushi experience (and to be honest, one of our top restaurant experiences) ever. Chef Ryan was an amazing chef and artist, and provided top notch customer service. We highly recommend Chef Ryan and Shogun Omakase to anyone who loves sushi and appreciates fine cuisine. ❤️🎉“

“Ordered a sushi sampler and enjoyed trying several different pieces. The salmon had a mild flavor, the tuna was firmer, and the scallop had a slightly sweet taste. The variety made the meal interesting, and the portions were enough for a satisfying lunch“

“Wonderful experience!!! Kitchen staff were so knowledgeable, personable and kind. Accommodating of allergies and preferences, explained each dish, answered all our silly food science questions. Overall really lovely experience and very delicious and unique omakase experience!“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Fushimi Restaurant! The food was delicious, from the appetizers we ordered to our main course. Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. We also enjoyed a couple of drinks, which perfectly complemented our meal. What truly made our visit exceptional was the incredible service provided by our waitress, Ohmie. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Her warm demeanor and professionalism truly elevated our dining experience. We strongly recommend Fushimi Restaurant, especially because of the outstanding service we received from Ohmie. We’ll definitely be back!“

“This was the coolest and most unique dining experience I’ve ever had. It was also the most expensive I’ve ever done, but by the end I was convinced it was worth every penny and they could be charging a lot more and it’d still be worth it.

I went for my partners birthday and two others were celebrating their birthday and the dessert course (which was insane how good it was) had a candle and they brought little cocktails to everyone and we all cheered to the birthday people by name.

We got the alcohol beverage pairing which I highly recommend. First cocktail is shown here and then a few more of the glasses.

Service was impeccable and genuine. Especially Kiyomi (guessing on spelling), her warmth and kind banter put us at ease and we were talking about her all night.

Truly a special place. Plus the mission is so great!“

“Crazy that I never reviewed this spot! One of my favorite places in the Stuy, great staff, good food, and perfect cocktails. One of the only spots out here that has my favorite Gin -- there's something for everyone here, would definitely recommend.“

“Warm staff and delicious classic Japanese sushi.

The fish was incredibly fresh and the rice perfectly seasoned.

Might be the best spot in the Hudson yard area, and the locals seem to know it based on the take out order rate. Everything was delicious and efficient. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Lezzetli 👍 Güler yüzlü servis“

“We ordered the Duck Shio Soba and Salmon Ikura Soba. The food was overall good. Wished the Duck Shio was sent out hotter as it arrived lukewarm and took quite some time to come out. The Salmon Ikura Soba on the other hand was great and tasted fresh.

Service was alright. I don’t think our server realized we were waiting over 30 minutes for our food. The overall cost was also a bit steep.“

“Excellent Sushi ! Would highly recommend. Only wished they had Saki.“

“Perfect Food, Great Service, Nice Atmosphere“
