Food looks great and tastes great. Their service is also top notch. Shout-out to Ian for the amazing service and always getting our orders right down to the letter.“

“I rarely leave reviews at a restaurant and this is my first 5 star. It has been a long long time I was this pleased about sushi. I’m from Florida and sushi there is much more expensive and less fresh. This place is awesome! Thanks Tiger“

“Great hand rolls. Cozy atmosphere. My family has been here for multiple birthdays. Would definitely recommend!“

“My wife and I had a great experience at Masaaki and truly enjoyed almost everything about it. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the space was clean and thoughtfully designed, and the overall vibe made it a great place to enjoy a meal.

The food was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was perfect and clearly made with quality ingredients. We especially enjoyed the yaki oysters.

Service once we were seated was excellent. Our servers were attentive, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the meal.

The only downside was the experience with the front desk host. At the beginning and as we were leaving, there was no smile, no greeting and no “bye.” That lack of warmth really stood out, especially since everything else in the restaurant was handled so well. It felt unwelcoming and unprofessional and took away from what was otherwise a near-perfect visit.

Overall, the experience was almost perfect. I would absolutely return and recommend this restaurant, and with a more welcoming presence at the front desk, it would easily deserve a full 5-star rating.“

“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!“

“Enjoyed a Salmon Poke Bowl at Sukiya Ramen & Poke, near Utopia Parkway & Francis Lewis Blvd. I got it with spicy mayo—delicious—and it was fun eating out of a giant bowl with a spoon. The place looks clean, and the staff is friendly.“

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

“It is basically like Panda. The sushi was very good
The winner was the chicken with the soy sauce they make it is fabulous! We did order big fruit drinks #6 yes that is true. they were not bad. .the green hot tea was good too.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Kaiyo is a great local spot for high-quality sushi.

The fish is very fresh, the rolls are well balanced, and nothing feels overdone. You can really taste the quality in both the nigiri and specialty rolls. Portions are solid, and everything comes out looking clean and thoughtfully prepared.

The atmosphere is relaxed but polished, and the service is friendly and attentive without feeling rushed. It’s an easy go-to for a casual dinner that still feels a little elevated. Definitely a place I’d come back to.“

“muy buena atención, exelente todo 👍“

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

“This ramen spot in Bayside is actually pretty good. We’ve been here a few times already, and every time the food has been consistent. The portions are not bad at all and the flavors are solid. Nothing too fancy, but definitely satisfying when you’re craving ramen.

The place itself has a cozy, slightly old-school Japanese vibe. Overall it’s just one of those reliable neighborhood places you don’t mind coming back to again and again. We’ll definitely keep stopping by whenever we’re in the area.“

“My husband and I come here quite often. We have always had a good experience. The food is fresh and the service is speedy. We have a few rolls and dishes we almost always order and add a new item every so often to give it a try. Our drink of choice is a zombie.“

“I got food to takeaway and the portions were huge, especially for the price! I opted for the fried pork gyozas, a chicken and beef hibachi and a Pepsi and it was $21. Crazy.

The food was cooked fresh, was incredibly efficient and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere and the service from the staff was really warm and I’m glad I chose to go with Hibachi Express this evening.

Thank you!“

“Excellent food and service.“

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

“From the warm atmosphere to the friendly service, this place feels instantly welcoming. The food is always delicious and served quickly, and the drinks did not disappoint. We’ve already been back a few times, and this cozy spot has easily become our go-to whenever we’re in the area.“

“We moved from Port Washington to MA this May and have been unable to find a spot that offers everything that Aki does, not to mention at the same quality! They just execute everything so well. It was our go to for sushi, we loved the apps (the crispy rice and jalapeño yellowtail are fire), and loved also having options for classic Chinese food. We loved that it offered a little bit of everything. We only ever ordered takeout but the service was always top notch too. We love and miss you Aki!“

“food and service owsome , good place to bring families and friends.“

“The food is authentic. Their meat melts in your mouth! Oishii 😋😋😋“

“I ordered take out party platters over the phone for the workplace this past Thursday and my co-workers and I couldn't have been more pleased. The initial ordering process was smooth. Pickup was on time at 12pm even though they only open at 1130am. And the sushi, as always, was fresh and delicious. Each party platter could easily feed 4-5 people and are reasonably priced. Everyone wants to order from here again in the future (even with work being in Westbury).“

“Best sushi on the south shore.“

“Yummy food and very clean“

“My friend recommended this restaurant cause serve halal beef and chicken, our chef tommy was sooo good and funny and very professional, kids enjoyed the show and the meal , i loved beef mignon and the special butter that makes everything tasteful, highly recommended“

“Love love this place! Our new go to“

“This is by far my favorite restaurant on Long Island. We eat here at least once a week. The food is consistently fresh. Staff is wonderful and friendly. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Delicious and fresh food. Entire family enjoyed!“

“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.“

“Best sushi I’ve had! They have Karaoke nights on Thursdays and it’s a lot of fun!!!“

“It’s just real good !! They check all the boxes ! Go enjoy a nice dinner or lunch !“

“Authentic Japanese cuisine Family owed Clean Excellent service and friendly“

“The freshest sushi you'll find.“

“The service is great. The people are even better. This place reminds me of why I fell in love sushi in the first place. The sushi is super fresh. I am allergic to shellfish and I have never had a problem with cross contamination. I love the bodywork’s! I highly recommend it!!!“

“Go. If you Love Sushi. Yahao gets it more than right! Food is exceptional. Sushi ordered so wonderfully dang fresh , clean and robust. We ordered even more. I had gotten an order of soba noodles with beef. Excellent flavor! Our servers were patient , polite and helpful. We had a very enjoyable night. Kanpai 🍶 😊🍱🍣“

“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’ve been ordering from this place since they opened up. They really do give you a good value for what they provide - I think a lot of the negative reviews below expect omakase grade sushi for takeout sushi pricing, and that’s just…not it. They did mix up my takeaway order once but were quick to fix it when I called, and delivered the correct order to my place. Overall, pretty great local joint.“

“Went here on a date with my husband and it was such a lovely experience. The food was fresh and beautifully prepared, and everything tasted high quality. The atmosphere feels a bit more intimate and special, which makes it perfect for a date night. Service was attentive and thoughtful, and the pacing of the meal was great. It’s not a cheap night out, but it feels worth it for the quality and overall experience. Definitely a place I’d return to for a special occasion.“

“Great environment and food selections 👍“

“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.“
