50 Best Sushi Bars near Rockaway Park

“We love coming here. The service is always great. So is the food! Small and cozy. Conveniently located. It’s one of our favorites.“

“Fresh sushi at a very good price. It’s an old school AYCE where you have to write down your order on a piece of paper which is then collected by the waitress. I’ve been there several times now and I can say that I haven’t found a better place to eat sushi for that price.“

“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.“

“Great food very good service“

“An amazing omakase dining experience at Shota. Premium ingredients and amazing taste. Each and every course was finely prepared and beautifully presented. Service was top notch throughout. Sake list was also impressive with massive selections of both common and rare sakes. Some rare ones were priced pretty steep.
This restaurant is a treasure on South Street in Brooklyn. Definitely recommended!“

“Best Omakase I’ve ever had 😊“

“Great for dates and just having a good conversation with a friend. I got the unlimited drinks, and it's really made the dinner. After a while, the season rice can make everything taste the same.

However it's price well for the food and service. In all, I had a great time.“

“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.“

“Food was delicious. Would go back again“

“깔끔하고 깊은 맛이 좋았습니다.“

“Wonderful hand rolls. My wife and I stopped by for an impromptu date night and had a lovely time. All of our bites were delicious and the service was warm and friendly. We had just returned from Japan and we were not disappointed. We loved the crispy rice and all of the hand rolls we ordered.“

“In past decade plus, in the prior establishments- Thai, Asian fusion/Japanese - the food was horrible and portions were small, especially for takeout (think shrinkflation re: Ubereats/Doordash). We'd try every year or two but were disappointed each time. This new place, Look Deer, opened up the last couple years and we finally gave it a chance this earlier in January. It is run very well. Their sashimi is very fresh and even better, their hot appetizers and entrees - tonkatsu ramen, hamachi kama, fried oysters, salmon skin, just to name a few - are excellent especially when compared to similar small counter-style takeout sushi joints by U (ex. Sushi Bistro, Happy Canteen). Haven't tried a lot of their rolls - which are very good - since we've been testing out their hot entrees. The mackerel is unique and moist. Their takoyaki octupus balls, with fish flakes, are crispy outside and hot and juicy inside, which is how they should be versus likely frozen/precooked & reheated by others (ex. Vivi's Bubble Tea). We also love their sushi for 2, which can be pricey but amazing for a special occasion or treat since it has premium ingredients like sweet shrimp, umi and others (think toro or higher grade tuna). My wife and I now bounce between Look Deer and our regular sushi places (Nagoya, Mitoushi), which are much larger and provide a more intimate setting, including for private conversations. Look Deer is very cozy although cramped but their premium quality and wide selection more than makes up for it. Look, dear, let's try this place out again soon. =)“

“We recently celebrated one of dearest friends birthday here and it was amazing. The ambiance is very nice, calm, private which allow us to catch up with our friends. The food is very authentic, and the drinks are very well crafted. Food and drinks tastes as good as it looks!. The staff's service were beyond expectations... Yangi, she was so attentive! I dropped my chopsticks, didn't expect anyone to notice but, she rush to give me a new set within a second. If you're looking for a good atmosphere, authentic vietnamese fresh food, and great service, definitely check this place out. You won't be disappointed.“

“Its such a clean place,with delicious flavors and awesome staff�����. I always recommend it too my friends.“

“Excellent sushi, great service, great people.“

“Attended an Omakase event, Staff Amazing, Food absolutely delicious 😋, The experience going and enjoying time with your friends, priceless. They made us feel like we were part of the Koma Sushi 🍣 family. THANK YOU“

“My wife and I loved the food, it was our first time trying donburi and it was incredible. We'll definitely be back. The food was very tasty and fresh, and they ladies at the register were so sweet to my dog, they even gave her a treat! 100% recommended“

“My family and I have called in a large lunch order for pick up four weeks in a row...and have ordered in the past several times.

The order is always ready quickly. To date, never any issues.

They separated the hot food from the cold food when bagging.

Everything is as it should be with plenty of sauces and most importantly, DELICIOUS!

The 3 roll combo is a great deal and we like the Yellowstone pizza...crispy base, avocado, seaweed salad (i think) and your choice of tuna or salmon on top. Sauce on the side. Really nice appetizer.

Hope you can make it or order in and continue to support small, local business!“

“I brought my dad here when he was visiting from out of town to experience an Omakase restaurant. We had a blast! The service, food, and ambience were spectacular. I highly recommend coming here for a special occasion, or just a nicer dinner. The quality of the fish was also incredible, and well worth the price, especially for New York City - will definitely be coming back.“

“Good atmosphere! Great service. Delicious food.“

“This is honestly one of the best Japanese restaurant in NYC! As a raw fish lover, I’m always looking for places that serve truly high quality fish, and this place absolutely delivers. Super fresh fish, and an amazing dining experiences!“

“This place is very, very special. Having visited a lost count of Omakase counters in NYC, it’s often a real risk choosing a new one, even when you do the research and read a million reviews.

My wife and I took the risk on LUYA when taking a friend to dinner a couple weeks ago and it may have been our biggest surprise in NY dining in at least a few years. There are way too many things praise worthy at this place to list them all so I’ll highlight a few and let the rest speak for itself when you go try it…

- The staff is beyond top tier. Not only are they all friendly, kind, observant and attentive, but they’re also fun to be around! Never intrusive, never annoying, always the right amount of conversation.

- The fish is some of the best, and most outstandingly fresh I’ve ever had anywhere, not just in NY. The sourcing must be incredible because every single piece is truly punching WAY above its class in terms of price, taste, and presentation.

- The natural wine bar and perfectly curated selection of sake and Japanese spirits is such a welcome surprise. The cocktails are wonderful, and the bartender (somm??) is super knowledgeable about everything there.

Just come here, you won’t regret it. Best kept secret in the city.“

“I have nothing but great things to say about this place. The sushi is incredible, you really are getting what you pay for in terms of price. It’s a very small restaurant that does to go and can dine in, the food is truly so good and taste fresh each time. This was my 3rd time here in the last 2 weeks so I had to say something positive.“

“We came here for the bondi block party and it was INSANELY fun, good food and such great vibes. All the staff were so kind, sushi tacos and the handrolls were a must. We also had the green tea spritz which was super refreshing! Shout out to Amy for also making us feel so welcome and curating this community event, would def go back to eat and support :)“

“The food and service is amazing!! Made our bunch perfect!!“

“Our waiter walked us through and explained everything to us as we are sushi novice. This was a well recommended place for sushi and sashimi and I highly recommend it!“

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

“Such a gem in the Long Beach West End!
Delicious sushi, amazing ramen, and the nicest local owners.
A must-visit spot for anyone in the neighborhood!

Love supporting this local spot in the West End
great food, great vibes, and always consistent quality.“

“อาหารอร่อย สะอาด การบริการดี รวดเร็ว“

“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.“

“I’ve had sushi all over America, and this is a top contender amongst the best I’ve had. The menu is on the simpler side, but don’t let that detract you from the absolute quality they deliver. The sushi rolls are larger than typical and priced very reasonable for what you get. Plus they serve warm sushi rice which not many places outside of Los Angeles do.“

“The food is good. The store neat and clean.“

“Magnifico todo, excelente lugar, trato, y todo buenísimo!! Repetiremos seguro!“

“Nice and cool in this sweltering weather and happy hour prices from 3 to 7 on a Sunday!❤️❤️❤️“

“I am bias , since i got a taste from this restaurant , whether lakewood or Flatbush , it’s always a delight. Never found any place that can match the Poke Ball they make. Its been 8yrs since i got to taste the food of “ THAT SUSHI SPOT” and every time it hits the SPOT!!… try it and you will never regret it.“

“Excellent food! Highly recommended. 😍 fried sushi, mango avocado cucumber roll.“

“I had such a great experience at Ginza Sushi today, and I honestly can’t stop thinking about it. My boyfriend and I decided to go on a casual date, and it turned into one of those meals that just hits perfectly in every way—food, service, atmosphere, everything.

We ended up ordering five different rolls, and I’m so glad we did because it gave us a chance to try a variety—and every single one was honestly amazing. The sushi tasted incredibly fresh, which is the most important thing for me.

Each roll had its own unique flavor, and none of them felt repetitive or boring. The rice was seasoned just right—not too sweet, not too sticky—and it held together perfectly without falling apart when picked up. The portions were also really satisfying. Sometimes sushi spots give tiny rolls that leave you still hungry, but here it felt like we got a good amount for what we ordered.

Another thing that really stood out was how fast the food came out. We barely had to wait, which made the whole experience even better. It’s such a plus when you’re hungry and don’t have to sit around forever. Even though the service was quick, it didn’t feel rushed—they still took care in how everything was presented.

Speaking of service, it was genuinely so good. The staff were attentive without being overbearing. They checked in at the right times, made sure we had everything we needed, and were just overall friendly and polite. It made the whole meal feel smooth and stress-free.

What I also appreciated was how clean everything was—from the tables to the presentation of the food. It just adds to that feeling of trust when you’re eating sushi, especially.

Overall, this place is definitely a great choice whether you’re going on a date, hanging out with friends, or just craving good sushi. Between the freshness of the food, the fast service, and the comfortable atmosphere, it really stands out as a spot I would 100% come back to.

If you’re thinking about trying Ginza Sushi, I would absolutely recommend it. Today’s experience was easily a 10/10 for me, and it’s now one of my go-to sushi spots. 🍣“

“Good was delicious Service was great“

“Food on buffet was cold that was suppose to be hot and old shrimp had been on the buffet so long it was dry smh a waste of money I would never go back there“

“I don't typically often order from silver rice because they're bit small in the portion side, they have unconventional food packaging containers and they're on the pricey side. However when it comes to the quality of the food they're worth it. I just had to Nagi rice cup and a seaweed salad I literally can't stop licking my chopsticks. It was so GOOD!. Even got better as you dug into the cup lol If you're looking for something different and on the lighter side that was just at the spot. So rice is a good option.“

“Dropped by as this restaurant is directly next to the N train station at Kings Highway. The miso soup was nice and enjoyed their tempura plate.

The lunch special is especially good—three rolls for $12.50. The sushi was well done and tasted good.“

“We love this place. Been there twice on the last month. I had a wonderful and plentiful sashimi. The fish was very fresh and delicious. My wife had the eel. The atmosphere is casual but super friendly. It's BYOB! Highly recommend this restuarant.
My wife says she loves that there is NO music which makes it a peaceful space. She also appreciates that there is a roomy feeling. It's not overcrowded.“

“stumbled across this place afterschool with my friends and wow we were pleasantly surprised! the restaurant's atmosphere and decorations were so cozy and themed perfectly! the sushi rolls are presented in such an artistic way and the fish quality is so fresh. the mango roll especially was my favorite, the mango was so sweet and it matched perfectly with the shrimp tempura. all in all i would recommend this place for anyone who is looking for an affordable sushi spot that is also family-owned!“

“Good service, good sushi rolls, good atmosphere, and good place to stop!“

“Brooklyn native but just moved into this area with my man, so we had to check this place out. Stopped in mid-day for food and drinks and it did not disappoint!

We ordered karaage, hamachi crudo, a roll, shishito peppers, brussel sprouts, scallop ceviche, and the spicy salmon crispy rice. Everything hittt

Had some unfiltered sake and a cocktail.
And Mikey behind the bar was amazing, super attentive, made excellent recommendations, and took care of us the whole time. One of the best food and service experiences we’ve had in Brooklyn.

New neighborhood spot unlocked. We’ll be back.“

“I had an amazing experience at Pokeworks! The teriyaki chicken poke bowl was incredibly fresh and flavorful, with generous toppings like avocado and spicy mayo. The quality of the ingredients was top-notch, and the portions were satisfying. The atmosphere was casual and inviting, perfect for a quick meal. Highly recommend trying it for delicious poke!

“The sushi was so fresh( fish ). Literally felt like it was melting in my mouth. And I love that the prices are not too high, that's very important as well! The ambiance was very warm, nice place to take your significant other😄.
They even have sushi rolls that are around $7 which I really appreciate and I'm sure many others do as well!
Sometimes the store can be really full and the waiters can get mixed up due to the traffic of orders, so it's always better to be clear at the start. Enjoy!“

“Amazing food & great service!“

“I found this place by searching for Sushi Party Trays on Google, and I'm so glad I found it! The party trays are so delicious and so affordable, that you can get a couple for the price of just a few special rolls from any other place! It's a very small place, but it has very big flavor and the best price around!!!!“
