“I come here extremely often, so it's crazy to me that I haven't written a review yet. My family always gets here at 5 on the dot (when they open) so that we are one of the first to be seated, as they do not take reservations. We always get the Sushi & Sashimi for 3, and we are a party of 6, so you know the portion is huge! You can customize it a bit - for example, we always ask them to put less tuna sashimi and more salmon. The sashimi is fresh, and their rolls are tasty and well presented. Another staple we get is the Spicy Tuna Pizza - I'm not a huge fan of tuna except for this pizza - it's served on crispy rice and mixed with imitation crab, and creamy/salty/umami - everything! Our last staple is the Fried Oysters - can't go wrong with seafood fried in butter. Something new we tried this time was the Chilean Sea Bass - it was flaky and buttery, with a very nice miso glaze, but the portion was small. This place is our go-to for sushi on Long Island, and we will most definitely be back!“
“I had the split ramen and appetizer combo. The ramen was very good and it was very filling. The spicy wings were the best wings I had in a while. The taro bubble tea was also very good. Sarah H was also provided us with amazing service, always making sure we were taken care of. I highly recommend this place!“
“We've ordered hibachi to go from here multiple times and have not been disappointed! The price is fair, the portions are good and the food has been great! I prefer it to the two other similar style restaurants in the area. Great service as well; the employees have all been very friendly!“
“All 6 handrolls in the set menu (salmon, yellowtail, crab, spicy tuna, scallop and lobster) were so fresh and a fabulous combination of beautifully prepared fish and warm rice! The perfectly poached egg in the creamy mentai udon is the best mentai udon I have had- much lighter but more flavorful than what you would find in Japan Village. This restaurant belongs on St. Marks Place in the city! May is so sweet… definitely excited to bring friends and family back the next time around!“
“here you will find unassuming decor and fantastic quality fish.not your typical strip mall sushi joint. Taka offers Tokyo level quality sushi; authentic, fresh, minimalistic. well worth a 45 min drive. try the omakase. i have been coming here for over 7 years and have never been disappointed.“
“Finally found a Quality sushi restaurant in Long Island worthy of being called a Japanese sushi restaurant. Sushi is excellent, service is slow and atmosphere is okay. If you are a sushi snob like me. Kuryu is the place to go authentic sushi.“
“TLDR: I regularly visit Nipon Cha and it never fails to deliver an amazing dining experience. The ambiance, service, and food are always exceptional. My go-to dish, the spicy tuna don, is a flavor-packed delight. Even my girlfriend's curry pork Katsu don, which is a tad sweet for my taste, is always enjoyable. I can't recommend Nipon Cha enough to anyone who appreciates authentic Japanese cuisine.I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nipon Cha, and it was nothing short of an extraordinary experience. From the moment we stepped in, we were welcomed with impeccable courtesy and hospitality, truly reflecting the essence of Japanese service. The restaurant exudes a beautiful ambiance, striking the perfect balance between tranquility and liveliness. It's a sight to behold as customers relish their meals and enjoy the company of their loved ones.The food and drinks at Nipon Cha are consistently impressive. I ordered the spicy tuna don, a masterpiece that melds perfectly vinegared rice, spicy raw tuna, avocado, and a gently boiled onsen egg. A symphony of savory, tangy, sweet, and salty notes danced on my palate with every bite. The dish was elegantly complemented with a side of delicious miso soup. I savored every bit of my meal, ensuring not a single grain of rice was left in my bowl.My girlfriend's choice, the curry pork Katsu don, was no less impressive. The curry, sweet and light as is characteristic of Japanese cuisine, was a delightful pairing with the crispy, yet tender and juicy pork. The dish was served on a bed of white rice, topped with a refreshing salad. The curry was cleverly served on the side to prevent the dish from becoming soggy. Although it leaned slightly towards the sweeter side for my personal taste, I found myself thoroughly enjoying it.Every visit to Nipon Cha feels like a mini vacation to Japan. Sitting by the window, watching the world go by, I felt immersed in a peaceful and serene atmosphere. This restaurant has quickly become my go-to spot for all occasions, whether it's a family gathering, a date night, or just catching up with friends.To anyone seeking an unparalleled Japanese dining experience, I cannot recommend Nipon Cha enough. Their consistent delivery on taste and presentation, coupled with their warm hospitality, makes every visit a delight. You certainly won't be disappointed!“
“Good atmosphere, fresh sashimi and sushi. There's an incident happened behind our dining area at the beginning and the staffs quickly responded to the situation. As a courtesy, they offered $10 off for each guest who is eating Omakase. The rest of the experience was excellent!“
“Fresh and great quality sashimi/sushi, especially for the price! It’s a small shop so we always get take out and it never disappoints. The salmon nigiri is the star of the show for sure! The spicy tuna is great too if you like it on the spicier side ;DPicture: Dragon roll + medium nigiri sashimi sushi roll combo $97“
“A hidden gem! A quaint spot where you really feel like an insider that knows the best kept secret.... that Sushi Palace in West Hempstead is one of is not the best sushi spot on Long Island! Mai the owner makes you feel like family and if you go as much as I do she'll even remember your order lol I always recommend this place to any sushi snob such as myself. They use the freshest ingredients with Sushi and sashimi that literally melts in your mouth. They offer other yummy Japanese food as well. Support a local business that seriously delivers every single time, you will not be disappointed.“
“Extremely delicious food , i tried thepork bao buns- 9/10gyoza w the spicy mayo- 10/10takoyaki- 10/10we also got ramen bowls , so authentically good , the flavor was to die for on a cold day like today! they actually take their time to bring the food out ( not alot of wait time dw ) the service felt family owned , they were super sweet & attended to us w ease. overall no complaints , cozy , affordable & great atmosphere , thank you!!“
“So I'm in this shopping center often but this is my first time at Kirazu Sushi. There are about 3 dine in table plus a few seats at the sushi bar. I sat at the sushi bar with my husband. It was a busy night, lots of takeout orders and all tables filled. I really liked the vibe of the restaurant-fun music playing you want to sing along to. All other customers were returning customers, the owner greeted many by first name. Lovely waitress who was kind and the sushi chef was non stop making sushi for everyone. The staff running the restaurant said it was a busy night so the sushi might take a little longer. It wasn't an issue at all because it was so nice listening to the music they had playing on a stereo and we ordered and enjoying our night. Once the food was served, I thought my sushi was great. I'm a lover of a dragon roll and sushi sandwich and the sushi chef did a great job with the ratio of all ingredients and flavors. I was really pleased with my meal and so was my husband. Overall, it's a great spot for a casual sushi dinner for locals of the neighborhood to enjoy. I will be back!!Thanks for a great experience“
“Restaurant is super cute, with just enough seating for a couple groups. Onigiri was delicious! I loved the different options available, and was super happy that they had vegan options because it gives me another place to go with friends who have food restrictions! Also, the tea was super yummy and had tons of customization options. To top it off, the woman working there was super nice and informative and patient! Definitely going back!!Dietary restrictions: Vegan options available! They had 4 different rice balls that were listed vegan.Wheelchair accessibility: There’s handicap parking, and the tables have separate chairs, and there’s plenty of room to move“
“Amazing sushi, really nice staff! Tuna tatar was so good. We also ordered Sakura Mango and wasabi Roll were fresh and outstanding taste good. We love bento box, too. Everything was amazing, would love to come back!! Also the atmosphere was amazing and so beautiful.“
“A very good experience the food was delicious. Great customer service and not very pricey. Mufu hibachi and sushi is a must try. They are wonderful here. There’s great music here. In a great areaKid-friendliness: My kids enjoyed there experience here with the food and how fast they received their food“
“Came here on a Friday night craving sushi with my wife. We ordered the 3 classic rolls plus an additional which came with one soup. We ordered miso soup with it which I was going to give to my wife. But he came and brought us 2 soups! One free! He was so kind and service was amazing. Will DEFINITELY be coming back. Also love the interior of this place so nice and cozy!“
“Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant! Quality is amazing. We order from here a lot, and they package everything so organized, provide chopsticks, soy sauce and deliver in a quick manner. Hot food we order is always still hot upon arrival! Highly suggest!“
“Perfect cute spot for a date night. The sushi rolls are really unique — loved the one with Brussels sprouts on top. The servers are all super helpful with answering questions and giving recommendations. They were also accommodating of my food allergy which I always appreciate. Highly recommend!“
“My favorite omakase place thus far!!! Been here 3 times and all my friends that I brought loved it as well. Chef Kin made our experience so exquisite. Def will be coming back!Came back again and wanted to praise Chef Sam! After a disappointing experience in Times Square location, I wanted to show my bf the experience I always had in Bayside. He was very welcoming and accommodating. He took his time to explain the whole process to my bf who is new to omakase and we both loved it. Everyone at the bayside location is professional and very accommodating. Much appreciated!!!“
“Sushi was pretty tasty, I ordered it for take out. The worker that was helping me was very friendly. One thing I would suggest is that part of their menu on Ubereats or some other platforms arent suppose to be on there anymore due to the fact that they don't do lunch special rolls anymore.“
“Love this place, the drinks are great, the fried oysters are to die for! And the rolls are pretty good as well, Staff is very friendlyParking: Decent sized parking lot but there are alot of other businesses in the strip so it depends on how busy everyone is and when you go“
“Love ordering from this place. Prices are reasonable, and food is always ready within 10 - 15 minutes. If the taste of the sauce was more consistent, it would be perfect but gave 5 stars anyway because despite being inconsistent, it is still always good.“
“Sakana is fantastic and never fails to deliver. We order takeout once a week if not more frequently and the sushi is always fresh and best of all it’s extremely consistent. Cindy is amazing and works hard to make sure orders are correct and made on time. This is our go to when we have guests and have only positive things to say about the food! I love that they have Japanese as well as Chinese, nothing like a few california rolls, some shrimp tempura, and some general Tao Chicken- always a hit!! Can’t recommend this family owned business enough!“
“I love this place, their AYCE is at a great price (about $30 PP on weekends, cheaper on week days) and has a large variety of what you can order, offering different types of appetizers, soups/salads, rolls, sashimi/sushi, dessert and more!! Everything I've gotten so far has been fresh and delicious. Their servers are also very attentive, making it easier to get your food quick. They also have a full bar, but I usually get a Kirin beer. Overall, I'd have to say this is my favorite and go-to sushi spot. Love ya'll, keep up the great work!!“
“Came here for lunch and it was great. Wonderful portion size and a good selection of bento box. Not served in a traditional bento box but a 4-sectioned plate. Soup and salad served separately. Price is reasonable. Attentative staffs. Will return in the future.Parking: Parking lot behind the building“
“Very nicely decorated, great ambiance, great selection of music, service was second to none, and the food was excellent. Ordered shrimp shumai, steamed vegetables with dipping sauce, unagi don, sushi combo 2, and green tea/tempura ice cream.Good portions, reasonable pricing, fresh, and incredibly satisfying, will definitely be back again!“
“First off the food here is great. I've been here once before and had to bring the extended family to try and as remembered the food is excellent. It's a new spin on Korean food, you will find traditional also. There is just so much on the menus that I have not even come close to scratching the surface of it. Our server Jennifer is very attentive and offers opinions on what is popular since there is so much to digest. Must try and highly recommend it to anyone looking for good creative Korean food.“
“I didn’t realize that there were two DIFFERENT restaurants in the same building. Their decor is also pretty similar with all the One Piece “WANTED” poster.. don’t be like me and if you’re meeting people for ramen IT’S ON THE GROUND FLOOR. Izakaya (I was sitting up there reading their menu for a bit lol) has yakitori and Japanese hot pot.I came here with my fam and kiddo on a Friday night. We were able to get a table no problem and there were two different servers manning the restaurant. They were so friendly with our toddler, allowed us to walk around with her so she wouldn’t get fussy during our meal, and were just fantastic.The ramen wasn’t the best I’ve ever had BUT for the price per bowl it’s definitely worth it. We also got a couple of apps which were delicious as well. The best one we ordered, hands down, had to be the agedashi tofu. Usually at other restaurants I’d get a couple small square blocks of fried tofu and some sauce. Here, you get a bunch of bonito flakes that added that extra umami flavor, scallions, and pickled radish. Delish!We were surprised with mochi ice cream on the house at the end of the meal and if that wasn’t a sweet enough deal, if you pay with cash you have an 8% discount. It was definitely one of my family cheaper dinner nights out and we’ll be back again!“

“We've been here so many times, and every time is wonderful! We love it so much that we went on Christmas day the past 3 years!This one chef automatically knows how we like our steak cooked, and that we like double yummy yummy sauce! 10/10 every time!“
“Sexy chic vibe, tasty meal. We ordered the cucumber salad (great), ribs app (might skip next time), eel futomaki (highly recommend), salmon reg roll (skip), spicy tuna roll (skip), and the waygu fried rice (good but would try something else next time). Prices are def steep but good quality. Would return for a date night or drinks and light bite.“
“Perhaps it's one of the best sushi restaurants in Great Neck. Never disappointed regardless dine in or take out. Fish is always fresh, well cut, and added with chef's special ornaments. On top of these, the price is very reasonable.“
“1. Run, don't walk to Osaka! 2. Order extra of the spicy kani salad 3. Order everything! It's OK, you can afford it, the prices are incredible. 4. Enjoy! Go about the rest of your trip... dream about spicy kani salad. 1. Come back 2. Find out their closed 3. Cry Go about the trip again! 1. Come back 2. Order 3 more spicy Kani as everyone in your group who wasn't here before freaks out about how amazing everything is... 3. Cry about going back to FL where there is no Spicy Kani Salad“
“It was my first time going there and the staff was very nice and helpful. Everyone was very friendly and the lady making my bowl even offered different things she could add to make the bowl even better. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.“
“The food is delicious and fresh. We also have food allergies and they call to double check, which is great. My only issue is the last two times I placed online orders they corrected the total and charged me extra for “add ons”. I had zero add ons both times. In fact the only thing I asked for was for them to NOT use sesame seeds or seaweed paper because of an allergy. So because they’re omitting something, instead of charging me the same or less, they charge more?? That doesn’t seem right.“
“This place is incredible. Unbelievable flavors and I am shocked at the level of service and price as well. It is much better than other places and they consistently deliver quality food time and time again. I hope they can maintain the level of excellence as it feels too good to be true to have this local gem available to us. Protect and support this restaurant at all costs!“
“Fresh, delicious food at very reasonable price, paired with great, friendly service --- what else can one ask for? Perhaps a variety of Asian food including quality sushi, poke bowls and ramen dishes? Yep - they have you covered in a clean dining room. Even the fish in the aquarium at the entrance are well-behaved and wish you a "bon apetit" when you enter! [Just kidding, but only about that last part]. Happy that we found this place, and will be back!“
“First time we were here, for lunch, the food and quality was truly amazing. The pieces were above normal size and taste were amazing. Perhaps was because they just open for business? Our second visit it not as first time, the sashimi and sushi got smaller and now it is normal just like any other sushi place. I wish the restaurant focus more on quality and quantity, not trying to cut back and cut corner. This would bring back customers constantly....“
“FAST FAST FAST delivery wowww…. Love how you can pay by card when the delivery driver arrives cause he has a machine u can tip on there too. Fresh delicious sushi my mouth is watering thinking about the tuna and salmon sushi I had. Tooo good. California roll so good, miso soup so good I get extra seaweed in mine they perfected my order. I just recently moved to RVC & i can assure that this will be my new spot from now on. Thank you wild ginger !“
“We loved our dinner at Ichi. The place is very clean, pleasant lighting and music in the background. Extensive and interesting menu. Food arrived in 10-15 minutes. Fish tastes great and fresh.We ordered the tuna pepper avocado roll and salmon teriyaki bento box. This comes with side of salad and miso soup.Perfect quantity for two people and we enjoyed every item in the box ( shrimp tempura, shumai, corn). The salmon teriyaki had the perfect crunch to it.Highly recommend“
“Came here with my husband and ordered a variety of rolls. All were great. In our opinion it’s the best sushi in the area Mineola/Garden City/New Hyde Park area but is a little pricey, especially considering the vibe and feel of the restaurant.“
“GREAT KOREAN FOOD AND SUSHI ??This place is great for Korean food and sushi, all for a decent price between $10-15 per dish. My friend and I got a 3 sushi roll combo, tteokboki, and Korean fried chicken. They were all so good! There’s a huge parking lot with stores around such as Kung Fu Tea and Hmart. The waiters were attentive and the atmosphere and comfy and quiet!“
“This place deserves all the stars. This was the sushi spot I needed!! I got takeout to give it a first try. I ordered the spicy tuna, tuna roll, and yellowtail jalapeño app. All were fantastic. Everything tasted fresh and absolutely perfect. Place looked busy Friday night. Looking forward to dining in next time.“
“The food is super delicious, it's at a good price! But the waiter's service is very bad, he is not friendly with customers, there is no greeting or farewell, he does not offer you what they have and you feel as if they were giving you the food. VERY BAD ATTENTION FROM THE WAITER. That's why he's always alone or they order takeout.“
“Our go-to sushi spot in Long Island is amazing. My favorite dish is the udon katsu, but everything on their menu is delicious. The owner is very friendly and always takes the time to ask about your day and family, which makes for a warm and cozy atmosphere. It's located in a great area and I highly recommend it!“
“I've been here three times with three different groups of friends and they've all loved this place. I always get sushi however one person I went with didn't eat sushi, but he loved the General Tso's chicken. They have a great assortment and diversity of selections on their menu. Their sushi is very fresh, beautifully presented and melts in your mouth. There are plenty of cooked options as well for people who do not eat sushi. The ambience is nice with a smaller sized dining room, and the service is outstanding. It's nice because the servers are on top of your meal/order without being on top of your table. I highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to go back again.“
“Great sushi but WAYYY too expensive. The price of one roll costs just as much as a roll at Toku which is an extremely high end sushi place… If they weren’t so insanely expensive I would definitely come way more often but unfortunately I can’t justify the price. Please lower your prices they are crazy??“
“Always the tastiest food and amazing service. We love going here and our kids love it even more than we do! Also, being that I had a crazy day, after dinner I forgot my purse when we left, and only realized when we got home that I didn’t have it. I called them and they told me they had it safely put away for me until I went back the next day to get it. Couldn’t ask for better service than that!“
“Food was good, drinks were NOT it. However service could have been better. Our sever was pretty rude and made an error with my husbands order then had the audacity to role her eyes once we corrected her. We weren’t rude at all about it. It’s totally ok things happen. But don’t roll your eyes. You work in the service / restaurant industry. Then to top it off they automatically charge 18% tip to your bill. Again totally fine, but I think that’s why we were given poor service as they know they will make their money regardless.This place leaves much to be desired.“
“Yuzu has become our go to for Japanese food. You can't beat their dinner bentos. Not many places have bentos for dinner and they are easily the best deal. They give you the option of having two different meat entrees and the pricing is very reasonable.“
