“Food was great didn't take long for it to be prepared. Dumplings tasted amazing and the sushi was good aswell. Service was great cashier spoke both English and Chinese they were extremely helpful and polite. The place was clean and overall my experience was great.“

“The sushi here is incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious- easily some of the best we've had! But what keeps my sisters and me coming back is the amazing staff, especially the head waitress. She's warm, attentive, efficient and truly goes above and beyond to make every visit feel special. The whole team is kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere is always relaxed and friendly. We always look forward to our meals here- it's a local gem! Highly recommend!“

“Lovely dinner with the family got some sushi rolls and love their good portions of Robata-yaki !! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND . Server is always looking out for us which makes us happy and ready to be full!!!“

“We just recently moved to Great Kills and this is one of my favorite go to spots for sushi. I go there with my family at least once a week and everything is always fresh and delicious. Our favorites are their Spicy Salmon Alvarado Salad, 18 pcs Sashimi Bowl, and Shrimp Fried Rice. Prices are very reasonable and the quality of food is exceptional! The restaurant is always clean and staff is very friendly. Please give this place a try, you won't regret it.“

“Absolutely Delicious!
I had an amazing experience here from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a perfect balance of cozy and classy. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure we enjoyed our meal.“

“As a top reviewer who has tried countless ramen spots across NYC and beyond, I can say Hitto Ramen delivers a satisfying experience worth checking out if you’re on Staten Island. The ramen here is the star: the broth is deep and rich with layers of savory flavor that linger, the noodles are fresh with the right chew, and each bowl feels thoughtfully prepared.

The gyoza were crisp with a light, flavorful filling, a solid start to the meal. The pork belly buns were decent , tender pork, soft buns, though not the standout of the night, they still hit the craving. The portions were fair, and prices are reasonable for the quality.

The space is clean and welcoming with a relaxed, neighborhood vibe that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy your meal. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive without hovering, which I appreciate.

It’s clear this is a spot that cares about its food and its customers. Would love to see more variety in appetizers to round out the menu, but overall, Hitto Ramen is a reliable, comforting choice when you want a warm, satisfying meal without the trek into the city. Definitely worth a visit, and I will be back.“

“港餐。飽！😋真心。誠意。唔係扮㗎👍🏼truly tasty“

“I’m visiting and I’ve eaten here every day. They make the food in front of you and take pride in it. The lady I usually checkout with (I’m assuming she’s the manager) is amazing and so sweet. Food is good. Haven’t had a problem and they make your drink and have you taste it before in case you don’t like it. It also doesn’t take too long 10/10“

“This place is truly a hidden gem on Staten Island! I visited on my birthday, and the staff made it special with a handwritten card at my seat. The food was incredible, with 70% of ingredients imported directly from Japan. The entire team was welcoming and friendly, and the service was outstanding. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with great food and atmosphere.“

“Top-notch sushi experience at this restaurant. Infact, I would even say its the best I’ve ever had. Steven, the owner, is really friendly and a great host. My wife and I dine here weekly without fail. The special rolls are a must-try, guaranteed to impress. And don't miss out on the chicken fried rice, an absolute game-changer!“

“My family and I order take out from here all the time and let me tell you, they’re consistent. The food is always delicious and fresh, and the portions for the price are unmatched. Our favorite thing to get is the poke bowl combo with a sushi roll. This place just became our go to dinner spot when we’re hungry and too lazy to cook. Definitely recommend!“

“Not only is the sushi incredible and fresh, the customer service was amazing. Originally ordered through door dash and was provided the wrong order. Called the store as they were closing and was told they would make the order again and get it to us after they close! Don’t order your sushi from anywhere but Yaho!!“

“Me and my husband went to eat dinner on Sunday. I ordered the opening special, chicken teriyaki with a California roll. I was impressed by the sizable meat and roll. The food was tasty and fresh. My husband had beef teriyaki, he ate it all. He raved about how fresh it was and tasty. We will be back.“
