“When not in China or Japan - there’s Golden Temple. This is our local go-to place for lunch, dinner or take out. They have a very nice menu, Chinese tea, and mixed drinks/ wine/ beer are always on point. It suits us and a lot of other customers because thry offer both cuisines and can accommodate gluten free. The food is fresh, flavorful, and delicious (We enjoy the sushi, soups, fried & plain rice, chicken with broccoli, beef dishes, steak dishes, shrimp, Singapore mei fun.). The staff are always kind and welcoming, and the restaurant is popular with everyone. Thanks for the fantastic food and service Golden Temple!!“

“We celebrated my son’s 21st birthday yesterday and really enjoyed this hibachi experience! Ted and team were professional, friendly and provided a great entertainment to all! Thank you so much from our family!🎈🎊🎉“

“This the 2nd time I was here and they do not disappoint. The 1st pic was the pork soup, the 2nd pic which is fron my 1st visit was the wonton soup which is my favorite. The pork one is good, but the soup tastes like gravy it was a bit much for me. And the 3rd pic is the chips very light I luv love them. Oh, and I had a glass of mohito“

“Calming atmosphere delicious food!“

“Delicious food, amazing service!“

“Delicious! The Lunch Bento Box is huge and very reasonably priced for all that you get. 1st you are served a small mixed greens salad with a very tasty homemade ginger dressing. Next was a bowl of miso soup, also very good. Then a beautiful leaf shaped dish arrived with the most delicious full sized sushi roll. We had the vegetable tempura roll that had tempura broccoli, zucchini and sweet potato in it. After that course, the actual Bento box arrived with sliced NY strip steak teriyaki. Cooked perfectly. There was also a portion of white rice, 3 shumai pieces and if that wasn't enough: there was also a section with tempura shrimp, pumpkin, zucchini and sweet potato. Needless to say we walked out of here stuffed and very satisfied. The price was extremely reasonable for ALL that you get and everything was tasty and fresh. Definitely worth going to. And the restaurant has a very calming decor.“

“Amazing authentic Ramen and apps were delicious!!!“

“Awesome sushi. Seafood soups are great.“

“The service is always great, delicious food.“

“Best sushi in Long Island“

“Felice di esserci stata é assaggiato le loro delicie. Personale gentilissimo“

“The best sushi you will ever have. The rest of the food is just as good. Friendly helpful staff. This is my family’s favorite spot.“

“My go-to sushi spot every single time.
Their sushi is always fresh, flavorful, and just hits whenever I’m craving something good. The portions are solid, and they’re super reliable with timing. Plus, the owners are genuinely so kind. They always make you feel welcome, even with takeout. I’ve tried a bunch of places, but nothing beats how consistently good this one is. If you love sushi, this place won’t let you down.“

“With so many options in the area, it would seem crazy to suggest that Kaiyo could possibly set itself apart. I mean, it's not like the menu is wildly original or anything. However, somehow, Kaiyo's fish selection finds itself absolutely on another level. Sashimi heads rejoice.“

A Hidden Sushi Gem That Deserves a Spotlight!
Hazuki Sushi in Glen Cove is an absolute treasure — the kind of place you almost want to keep a secret but can’t help shouting from the rooftops. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted like family. The energy is warm, the smiles are genuine, and the service? Beyond phenomenal.
Now, let’s talk sushi: FRESH doesn’t even begin to describe it. Every bite is a burst of flavor, a dance of texture, a masterpiece on a plate. Their selection is outstanding — from melt-in-your-mouth toro to creative rolls that somehow taste even better than they look (and they look stunning).
Consistency is key, and Hazuki nails it every single time. It’s become a favorite for our whole family — even the kids are obsessed (and trust me, that says a lot).

If you’re searching for sushi that’s not just food but an experience — delicious, memorable, and absolutely worth the trip — Hazuki Sushi is it.

💫 11/10. A must-visit. A repeat visit. A forever favorite.“

“We go because the owners are the nicest people ever! Everything is always great“

“So happy you're back. We missed you!!! Ordered last night and everything was amazing as usual!!!“

“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!“

“Excellent food and service.“

“This is our FAVORITE place to get Raman! You can’t get any better than this! So delicious, always fresh, the staff is always so friendly and helpful. So many options on the menu, even some great options for Gluten free!! The size of the dishes is so much, we usually end up taking some home, I love it! The kimchi is the best and the crispy chicken bun is so fluffy and the chicken is so crispy! The soup is amazing and it fits perfectly with the toppings. It’s a very quick wait, always less than 10 minutes! Do yourself a favor and try it out!

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options“

“Dozo Dozo is a hidden gem! Their lunch specials are a fantastic deal…generous portions and great quality. I’ve also ordered dinner several times and especially love the Japanese fried chicken and crispy tuna. The salmon bento box is another favorite of mine. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, the service is consistently excellent. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Amazing place. I was making a delivery when I stumbled upon it and I tried their menu. I love their sushi, I am on a roll of trying it all, but I'm stuck on the spider roll it's so good I can't move past it.... I like to call in advance so I don't have to wait but they're always quick. Super healthy and delicious lunch/dinner options!!“

“Wow! Usually I’m not impressed with the quality of AYCE food. But this place was different. The same owner as The One Sushi 🍣 in Amityville which serves good food. This place charges $35 for all you can eat! What a deal. They charge extra for Crab 🦀 Boil and for Sashimi. But still a great bargain for quality food. Give this place a try before it gets too crowded, prices go up, and the quality goes down. 😀. Card payment is accepted. We will definitely be going back.“

“Honestly I haven't had sushi this fresh and high quality in a long time. Even the mango was perfectly ripe
(which is hit or miss at most restaurants). The salad greens were fresh and not wilted . I was impressed and will definitely go back.“

“We have only eaten here a handful of times but each time the food is fresh for both dine in & take our. I love the 20% off when you order on-line. The staff is very friendly and accommodating allowing my daughter to customize her bento box. Tonight we took out & I left my phone on the bar. The staff held it for me in the register until I returned to get it. They definitely won me as their customer!“

“We always have a good time here. Food is great and the chefs are fun!“

“Best sushi place on Long Island. Friendly people everything is made super fresh. Always a good time there’s always giving you a little extra.“

“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 just wanted to get something quick, I found out they had cards they can stamp to eventually get a free meal. I’ve been here about 4 other times and no other cashier has ever mentioned that to me until Alexa did tonight. She ended up giving me two for filled up cards which she didn’t have to. Her customer service was fantastic. And would definitely keep coming again. Everyone is very nice and friendly in there. Would recommend.“

“I love sushi, and the sushi bar is awesome. There specialty rolls are fantastic. I love there sushi/sashimi platter for 2... I usually buy 2 or 3 appetizers and it can absolutely feed 3. Haven't had a meal here that I didn't thoroughly enjoy.“

“Great food&crew. definitely recommended“

“KINHA SUSHI IS THE SPOT!!

The atmosphere is amazing and the food is too good. My server made great suggestions. I love sushi but my Dad is not for raw fish. So I'm always looking for a spot that gives me that sea and land mix for him. Kinha is that perfect balance. Great for father-daughter dinners.

He says it's a little better than our usual spot in RVC.

Important tips: Remember to go in through the back where there's parking!“

“Awesome Fresh Sushi every time!“

“Great Hibachi experience! Staff friendly & service was good. Food was delicious!“

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

“all you can eattttttt...“

“Truly a hidden gem!! This authentic Korean restaurant beats out popular spots in the city. We were greeted warmly upon entry and immediately served tea and a wide assortment of banchan (the tiny side dishes). We started with Pajeon (seafood & green onion pancake) and honestly I’ve had this in countless places and it was the best Pajeon I have ever had- not soggy at all, and the seafood was tender and not annoyingly chewy. Also had the Japchae (excellent), Combo #1 (LA Galbi Short Rib and and soft tofu stew) and a summer special of chilled buckwheat noodles. The portions were generous and the wait staff really were attentive and so helpful. The place has a homey feel like you’re at your favorite auntie’s house. 10/10, no notes, this will be in my heavy rotation.“

“We went to Jani for its Japanese cuisine and were not disappointed. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and made us feel welcome. The sushi was fantastic.“

“Absolutely 💯 out of 10 Service Servers Food Experience Amazing!! do not miss out!! we will definitely be back!!“

“Walking into Sakana feels like stepping into a secret you can’t wait to share. The sushi is ridiculously fresh. Salmon that melts, rolls that don’t need to be drowned in sauce, just pure flavor in every bite.

The vibe? Spot on. When I walk in, I am welcomed like I am a part of the family. Whether you’re on a date, out with friends, or treating yourself (coming alone is such a vibe btw), it works every time.

And the staff—welcoming without trying too hard. They actually see you, which makes the whole experience flow even smoother.

Bottom line: Sakana doesn’t just serve delicious Asian cuisine, they spoil you and you won't want any other sushi place after. Don’t blame me if you get hooked after one visit but leave my table free lol. 😉“

“I want to love this restaurant because I find it to be one of the better Korean restaurants on LI. I have enjoyed many of the apps and grilled dishes. My biggest issue is the soups and jigaes are disappointing. They are so under flavored. Korean stews and soups should be rich with flavor and spice, please don’t hold back on this. 🙏“

“Had a fantastic birthday/mother’s day celebration tonight! So happy to have a great restaurant to celebrate important events with the family! Such a huge selection all included in their base price! So so delicious and so reasonable! Can’t wait to come back again soon! Well done all!“

“Perfect gem in a little strip mall in Hicksville! One of a kind. Super fresh sushi and delicious bubble tea! Will be back and very soon!!“
