“EXCELLENT FOOD & SERVICE!“

“I have been going to the Bay Shore, NY location for at least 6 months now and can't recommend it enough. I went with several of my co workers a few nights ago and DEO was awesome to have as a waiter. He was funny and super helpful.“

“Everything is made to order and is crazy fresh and delicious! a hidden gem. A MUST try!“

“Loved it! Very friendly and welcoming staff. The food was delicious and came out quickly. Will definitely go back again! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“As here on LI we find many sushi joints are closed from 3-5pm. This one was open and though we were served, it felt as if we were an inconvenience. It lightened up a bit as we got closer to the end of our visit, but still felt we were not welcome.“

“I have been eating their food, either sit down or take out, ever since I moved out to ronkonkoma from massapequa 14 years ago. And I have to admit, i got so lucky. Finding them. Their food is fantastic, and I have been eating Japanese for 26 years, i would know by now what is good.. They are the best ive ever had. And they are great people. 👍“

“We dine at JBBQ at least once a week. The staff is incredible, food is delicious and overall such a fun experience! If you haven’t tried it yet, don’t walk, run! You’ll thank me later!!!“

“Amazing fresh fish and innovative rolls. We loved everything we tried especially the new Jalapeño roll and the Hero roll. Kind and attentive service. Fantastic! You have to try this place.“

“Yokohama is a neighborhood Gem!!! Jen and Tony are always there to help and greet you with a smile.. The serving team are so friendly and helpful. The food is amazing whether you have hot food or sushi. The sushi menu is diverse and the sushi is is flavorful and well-balanced. The atmosphere is friendly, energetic and comfortable. My friends and family come to Yokohama all the time and we love it!! You will not be disappointed.“

“This is my second time at this restaurant the food, the service the people who work here are very nice. The food is absolutely fresh. They have menu options and all you can eat option with the grill. Will you grill your own meats? I highly recommend to come to this place because I’m looking to come back again while I’m still sitting down and eating.“

“Had the sashimi 9 piece lunch Vento and it was delicious. The white fish has such good flavor, where as many places have white fish that tastes fishy. Loved the tempura sweet potato and eggplant, they really brightened the lunch in a tasty but healthier way (yes, even though they're fried). A well rounded lunch that was filling without stuffing yourself, even with the miso and salad that comes with it. A fantastic amount for what is paid for!“

“Excellent food, and service. I highly recommend if you like this type of Asian cuisine. Not much for dine in, so this is mostly for take out and delivery. I’ve never seen this place not busy, so what does that tell you. Five stars all day. Try their Gyoza if you end up going. It is the best.“

“I cannot even begin to say how amazing this place is. They spared no expense decorating and renovating this space. The food was fantastic and is very reasonably priced. They have a huge center bar and lots of Hibachi tables and seating if you are getting Sushi. PLUS a robot brought our food! Ask for Alec! He took great care of us!“

“I’ve been ordering from/going to Domo for 3 years now and they have been exceptional! Their food is always great, all of the staff are lovely, and it’s been my go to Sushi spot all the is time.

It’s a hidden gem that I cannot recommend highly enough!“

“Delish fresh real Japanese food and fabulous owners �“

“Food is delish!! Love it! The ppl are sweet too! �“

“Great little sushi place that's been at this location for years, a real local staple that's maintained great quality food at great prices that whole time. With a valid selection of special rolls, delicious tempura, and solid bento box options for take-out, you can't go wrong with Tokyo!“

“First time and it was excellent. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back.“

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

“Top notch sushi, the best prices I have seen for the quality. I’ve been ordering from Kira Sushi since about 2021, their quality has been consistent and their menu prices haven’t raised drastically like everything else does.“

“very nice fresh and delicious food“

“This is THE place for great sushi and great service. The sushi is fresh, the fish is great, their avocado is ripe and the people are amazing. I travel 15 miles to get here and every time it's been great food and amazing service. Don't know why I've waited so long to write a review but I hope they get the recognition they deserve. I look forward to coming back every time.“

“First time here. The waiter suggested an alternative meal and then made a substitution for my Bento Box. For its size, there is pleanty of seating including stools at the sushi bar. There is parking next door where they share space with a small mall.“

“Everything thing was great !!! Food and service !!“

“Sam and I love going here! The food is magnificent! We love the sautéed oysters appetizer and the tuna is amazing! We never had a bad experience here it is $$$ but worth it. It is definitely one of our favorite restaurants.“

“We ate at this Japanese restaurant in Oakdale because we had tickets for the CM Performing Arts Center and it was nearby. It was a lovely restaurant with excellent service, and the food was fine. I ordered hibachi and knew that it wouldn't be cooked in front of me, but it was very different from the hibachi I've experienced at Benihana, for example. Two friends got Bento boxes and thought they were excellent.“

“Only sharing my review of the food because it's a primarily a take-out restaurant! My notes are that the sushi is the best thing to order here and it gets VERY busy during lunch special rush hours so order ahead on their direct website (although slightly more inconvenient than the ordering apps). Been coming here for many years since it opened and I keep coming back.“

“Our favorite restaurant!!!“

“Best salmon sushi I've had in years! Large pieces of very fresh salmon. Also, the sesame chicken contains quite a lot of chicken as compared to other places where it's a lot of breading. Fried rice and fried dumplings both outstanding. Staff was very attentive. Nice atmosphere except for excessive noise from a nearby table of guests. Four adults brought three children from ages 4 to newborn, and occasionally you could hear the tablet entertaining the newborn play songs and make noises. It carried throughout the whole restaurant.“

“Tasty food. Excellent service.“

“I have been eating their food, either sit down or take out, ever since I moved out to ronkonkoma from massapequa 14 years ago. And I have to admit, i got so lucky. Finding them. Their food is fantastic, and I have been eating Japanese for 26 years, i would know by now what is good.. They are the best ive ever had. And they are great people. 👍“

“Never had a bad meal or drink! Service always on point! highly recommend.“

“I've ordered quite a few sushi roll party platters in my area and Mizu Ken exceeded my expectations! Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and delicious 👍 but I would love their shrimp tempura more if it was more crispy and made with slightly less breading“

“Great experience. The food was delicious, the sushi was fresh and tasty, the service was great and they don’t rush you! I would definitely go back soon!“

“Great food and very nice service. Clean and very appealing atmosphere.“

“They always do an outstanding job. The food, service and live music makes it a great evening“

“Great food , good service!!!“

“Great food, friendly staff….“

“New owners, great food and service. Nice atmosphere.“

“1. Takoyaki was delicious. It was suppperrr hot and we got 4 medium sized pcs.
2. Yummy Yummy was so good. The tempura 🍤 was crunchy and flavorful. The ginger with it was so yummy definitely lived up to my expectations.
3.salmon teriyaki was also really good. The salmon was tender and the teriyaki sauce was a bit on the sweeter side to balance the fish flavor.
4. Any 3 roll - spicy tuna, eel Avacado, Shrimp Avocado all with soy paper WAS THE BOMB!!! OMGG the eel avocado had a sauce on it that was beyond yummy. The spicy tuna wasn't super spicy (low spicy level) but offered a slight kick. Finally, the shrimp avocado roll was light and good.
5. Mochi ice cream was nice at the end.

Overall, the service was great and the food was 10/10. The manager/sever James was super nice and understanding whenever we needed clarification. The food came out in a timely manner even when they wre prepping takeout orders.
I HIGHLY recommend if your hungry looking for a good bite.

100/10“

“The food is good and nice atmosphere.“
