40 Best Japanese Restaurants in Staten Island

“While out and about in between appointments, I dropped in at Sushi Wen for lunch.

I’ve gone by it a million times and was curious; they have fantastic reviews online.

It’s a tiny place but the sushi and service were both very good - and they have great lunch specials.“

“First time here and I got the chicken and beef teriyaki with the noodles and veggies. It was delicious. In general I don't care for sushi, but the teriyaki was great and I would definitely get that again. Even though I liked it that much I'll need to try some of the other dishes on the menu first to know if it deserves a higher rating. Other than that it's a clean place with a friendly staff, not too loud and plenty of seating space and parking.“

“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!!!“

“Tried this sushi restaurant for the first time with my husband and 1.5 year old. We enjoyed it overall. The service was great, everything was brought out so quickly and all at once (did not love that part, though). The restaurant is a small place. Atmosphere was good/okay. The food was good but not excellent, nothing to write home about.
We appreciated the deal they offered on special rolls -- buy 2, get 1 free!“

“Had a great time celebrating my daughter’s birthday tonight with a party of 10! It was nice to have our own hibachi table! Easy to make reservations, was seated quickly, food was excellent and our servers were attentive and great! Luigi was very friendly and did a great job!“

“Extremely kind and welcoming staff.
Great food that's affordable.
My go-to sushi spot for a quick eat.

We ordered Party Tray B which is a lot of food, so of course we had to wait a while for it to be made. The wait time was reasonable, but the staff gave us complimentary drinks for waiting. Extremely kind, two large fruit teas.“

“港餐。飽！😋真心。誠意。唔係扮㗎👍🏼truly tasty“

“Fantastic!!!!!! Absolutely fantastic!“

“The customer service was excellent as soon as I entered the place.“

“Great for and great service. Must try the creamy dressing! The baked salmon was especially tasty!“

“I have been ordering pickup from them for the past few weeks and the food is excellent! They also will do customizations!

I will ask for certain modifications on the rolls or for a dish to be made spicy and it is always beautifully executed!

I’m actually going to order Yaki Noodles now!“

“Have only gotten it delivered and it's always been great, carefully packed and super tasty. Beyond being great ramen in general Tonkotsu has become our go to whenever we're under the weather, try it, nothing better to get over a cold“

“Came here with my family after watching a movie, and we were very pleased with the experience. The miso soup was honestly some of the best I’ve had. It wasn’t overly salty like at many other sushi places, where the saltiness can drown out the other flavors.

Everything tasted fresh, and the rolls were especially good. They weren’t overloaded with rice and were packed with plenty of filling. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and left very satisfied.“

“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!“

“Quality sushi spot with excellent specials rolls

We ordered takeout several times and also dined in at Yosuki Sushi in 2025. It's a typical small Japanese restaurant like the ones you often find on shopping plazas. It has a pretty, minimalistic decor, and a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Takeout orders were always ready exactly on time. Dine-in service was ok, though it could be more attentive.

The regular sushi rolls are very fresh, flavorful, with little rice, and taste great.
The special rolls are the real highlight - they are delicious. Our favorites were Tuna Lover Roll, Summer Roll, Twin Tower Roll, Fantastic Roll, and Holiday Roll, though all others we tried were also very good.
The teriyaki Chicken was juicy and flavorful, my daughter loved it and finished the entire plate.
Appetizers we tried
Pork Gyoza - excellent
Pork Shumai - unremarkable
Beef Negimaki - excellent! Warm, juicy, with tender, not chewy beef
Tuna Tartare - a bit disappointing. It was essentially large tuna chunks on a bed of avocado with a thin layer of sauce spread on the plate. Tuna Tartare should be more than just tuna cubes. Make the cuts finer, mix in some dressing, lime juice, sesame seeds, cucumber, etc. to make it a distinct and balanced dish.
For dessert, the Tempura Ice Cream and Green Tea Mochi were fine, nothing special. The tempura could be crunchier.

Overall, Yosuki Sushi is a solid neighborhood Japanese place with fresh sushi and excellent special rolls. We’ll definitely return, and we can easily recommend it for sushi staples.“

“fresh and reasonably priced“

“Wonderful experience! I used to come here as a kid, and it has been a long time since I have returned. The people here are very personable and great to have a conversation with.

Cindy & Benny provide excellent customer service, and after all this time, deliver the same customer experience I remember as a child!“

“Our usual japanese spot. Mostly order from them for deliveries. Great food and very nice people!“

“We were visiting Staten Island and discovered this new place. We were so thrilled to have not only a kosher place, but sooo many gluten free options of foods I haven’t eaten in years. Service was quick and food was super yummy. Would definitely go back. Hopefully next time we come to visit!“

“Love this place. Small and quaint. Great food, and reasonable prices. Edamame is $#%!ing great. I will go back again. Aww man and that Japanese Iced Tea was banging too. And my wife is picky and she loved it as well. Keep it up. And make a T shirt I can buy.“

“The food is always amazing and the staff there is always friendly and nice. We’ve gone there 3x already and plan to go back more. My son wants to go there for his bday next Jan so he can invite friends lol“

“This place is in the food court of the Staten Island Mall. We went around dinner time on a Sunday and there was plenty of seating. I don't know if it's offered all the time, but they had a combo special that includes an entree (chicken bowl, ramen noodles, poke bowl, or poke burrito) and a boba tea. I got the tempura shrimp burrito and a matcha boba tea. The burrito was very fresh and tasty, with fried shrimp, avocado, seaweed, lettuce, and rice, plus a side of teriyaki dipping sauce. The boba tea was large and had soft chewy tapioca pearls, but the matcha flavor wasn't very strong. It was yummy and refreshing on a hot humid summer day.“

“One of the best sushi places on the island. Consistently fresh and delicious with reasonable prices, especially for the lunch special. The passage to India roll is unique with an awesome curry sauce drizzle that I would put on everything if I knew the recipe. The staff and service are solid and the restaurant itself is nicely decorated and always clean.“

“Nice place with good sushi. We ordered rolls and they were fresh and tasty. The seafood soup was amazing, really loved it. Dumplings were just okay, a bit bland and the broth had no flavor. Tom yum was also not my favorite. Overall still a good spot.“

“I love this place, it's my go to lunch after school. I always order their lunch special which is 2 rolls of sushi with miso soup and a salad for around 12 dollars. I've only tried their sushi but i can say it's one of the most delicious sushi restaurant I've been at. The workers there are also very nice.“

“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.“

“I wish red apple will bring back the sushi buffet“

“Service, food and ambience all excellent. Great rolls. Nice choice of wines and desserts. This is easily one of my favorite places on the Island.“

“Awesome Sushi experience. It was our first time there and we were blown away at the at the variety and quality of the Sushi. We had the pleasure of meeting Sam the owner and he had us try some Sushi specials that we never had before and loved it. Miyabi has quickly become our new favorite!“

“Happiness is when your favorite sushi restaurant delivers to your front door.“

“Our group had different ideas about what to eat, so the variety here made the decision much easier. Everything we ordered arrived in good condition and felt carefully prepared. A specialty roll gave us something new to talk about without being too adventurous. I also enjoyed the Gyoza Soup, which added a nice change of flavor to the table. We left happy with the choice and already have a few things in mind for next time.“

“The place was small and dark the tvs played really nice music videos I appreciated the ones that came with English subtitles. The food was impeccable... yummy, fresh and unique There were dishes I've never tried before and they did not disappoint. Salmon Sushi definitely needs more staff if this hidden gem gets discovered, it's so hard to keep a good place a secret on Staten Island. Our server was so nice but was also taking phone food orders and handing off deliveries so an item we ordered was forgotten. Wasn't upset tho because it was definitely worth the wait and made for amazing leftovers which reheated quite well. The pad Thai was amazing and I can't wait to try the whole menu #goals“

“One of my favorite for years“

“we go here often. the owners, Joyce and Brian are the nicest and always welcome us..the staff is wonderful. they know my son, and when he comes in, they bring him his drink and order without even asking..i highly recommend.“

“This is an amazing local sushi spot. I used to come here with my wife a lot when were dating. Since we moved away it's been about 5 years since I've been back but recently we went back and our waiter actually remembered us. Very welcoming and good food.“

“Great food , good service!!!“

“The food was really delicious and authentic. The prices were great and the place is very asthetic. They had various options of rolls, shashimi and other hots meals. The waiter was very friendly, polite and was helping us understand the menu.“

“I love all the food what they make 🤤🤤..“

“I first came here on September 6, 2022 and found it to be amazing and delicious. I’m surprised to see I hadn’t written a review for this place back then!! Anyway, I returned again today, April 20, 2024 and it is consistent. Same great taste, same great service, same great price.I’m so glad that this place is still surviving and thriving. ❤️Will definitely return here again more often.“
