“Do you like sushi I'll ask you again do you like sushi? Well you have to stop at Kado Sushi, people are friendly atmosphere is nice The food is great it's inexpensive what else can I say but don't take it from somebody that flew around the world for 30 years and had all kinds of food from every country well nearly every country Yes I even had goat meat not not at the sushi place lol okay well anyway tell him that I sent you I get 150% discount just kidding anyway it is a really nice place for good no no not good for excellent sushi and the people are good there really good anyway I guess I'll stop talking now just go.“

“This is our go to family place for great Chinese when some in your party prefer Japanese. Both are done well, but I really love their Chinese menu. It's huge. Their soups - wonton and egg drop don't taste like the typical take-out. Lighter and more flavorful. They have great noodle bowls, like noodle soup with wontons, which I usually have to go to Flushing or Chinatown to find decent noodle soups. For appetizers - Their scallion pancakes are light and crispy. Our main courses - Beef with Broccolli - flavorful while not overwhelmed by too much sauce, and savory more than sweet. Their scallops with vegetable sauce was light and satisfying. Their sushi bento box was fresh and plentiful. Oh and defintely order a Japanese beer, like Asahi, or a Mai Tai, if you've had a stressful day!“

“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!🎈🎊🎉“

“FANTASTIC! I have been to ALOT of ramen spots in Long Island and this is among the top 5% best ramen. I sat inside for lunch. Incredibly rich broth. Chashu that does not taste old or too much fat - it was amazing. They did not skip out on toppings. I really recommend this spot :)“

“Ocean Code Handroll Bar delivers an exceptional sushi experience with fresh ingredients and beautifully crafted handrolls. The nori is crisp, the rice is perfectly seasoned, and the fish tastes incredibly fresh. The modern, welcoming atmosphere and attentive service make it a great spot for both casual dining and special occasions. Highly recommended for sushi lovers.“

“Best sushi in Long Island“

“First time coming in here I never had sushi in this area. Owner provided me their best dishes and everything was amazing. I would recommend anybody who’s coming here for the first time to try anything that they recommend and their most popular dishes was 10 out of 10 I promise you guys won’t regret they’re are extremely nice people!!!“

“If you appreciate good sushi, stop by Sushi Vogue on Jericho turnpike. Great tasting food at reasonable prices, nice selection on the menu, and courteous service with a personal touch! They can also cater your events and gatherings - check them out for either lunch or dinner! Highly recommend!“

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

“Awesome sushi. Seafood soups are great.“

“The service is always great, delicious food.“

“I just tried the Thai tea and it was delicious !!! 😋“

“This spot is a neighborhood GEM. I hope the people living here know this. Best Sushi and sashimi for miles around. Solid everytime. The fish is kept well and served well. The whole family works here and they are so nice and friendly. The dad who is the sushi chef has one of the fastest hands around. He just cranks the orders out like butter. The store has about 6 tables but they are never packed. But while I dine in the takeout orders are endless. This man can handle it all and still can chat with you.I wish I lived nearby.... Lucky you, Mineola...“

“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.“

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

“Best hibachi ever! The food quality is amazing and the service is why we stay. Way cheaper than other spots I’ve been to and the wine pours are great. Their yum yum sauce is delicious, sushi rolls are fat, I love coming here. The chefs are also hilarious, my kids love it here“

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

“Excellent food and service.“

“I ordered take out party platters over the phone for the workplace this past Thursday and my co-workers and I couldn't have been more pleased. The initial ordering process was smooth. Pickup was on time at 12pm even though they only open at 1130am. And the sushi, as always, was fresh and delicious. Each party platter could easily feed 4-5 people and are reasonably priced. Everyone wants to order from here again in the future (even with work being in Westbury).“

“I enjoyed the ramen very much

You walk up and order your meal, and I recieved it very quickly

As an anime fan, I enjoyed the atmosphere very much, ramen is a common reoccurring meal in the anime Naruto, which is prominently used for decoration

They also have the largest portion of pork chashu I have ever had and It was delicious and chared to perfection“

“The food and service are great here. The food is fresh and they have quite a few different selections that are not offered in any other typical sushi places. A bit expensive than other places but I feel like it's worth the treat every so often.“

“Amazing ambiance, the ceilings are super tall which is always great. Personally love the fact that's the menu is favored towards authentic Chinese cuisine. Everything is done really well. The dice mala chicken with chili is something i always order at every place that has it on the menu and this place definitely tops it. It's a must order. Would definitely return on the regular!“

“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.“

“Mihana just absolutely nailed it. The restaurant itself is quite aesthetically pleasing, modern tones, beautifully decorated without being overly done. The bar was quite spacious, and the seating very comfortable. There was literally no wait with reservation, we were seated within seconds of arriving and the waiters took our drink orders very quickly. The food was well prepared, the sushi was unique, fresh, very tasty and the hibachi with filet mignon was some of the best hibachi I’ve ever eaten. Tim was our server and kudos to him, very friendly and went above and beyond for our experience. This is the best Japanese restaurant in Woodbury and maybe one of the best Japanese restaurants in Long Island.“

“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!“

“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“

“This is one of the greatest Asian cuisine restaurants I have ever been to, I have been consistently purchasing the crab Rangoon for the last 2 years and I quite enjoy it every single time I come. The California rolls are also a second favorite of mine. There is always adequate seating with nice booths and even hand sanitizer at every table, I love the selection of beverages from Japanese sodas to the fountain drinks and everything also has the correct sauce (yum yum sauce, soy sauce is my usual selection). The service however is USUALLY excellent and fast, I always get what I ask for when I ask for it, HOWEVER there has been one individual working the counter who has been giving me issues for the last 5-6 months. There used to be an older Asian women at the counter who was excellent however this younger woman has been occupying the counter and she is insufferable sometimes. One time I went here and she ignored me multiple times trying to order, gave me the wrong receipt, has repeatedly to this day given me issues about certain items and constantly misses some, I always need to ask for my drink to be brought with the food, she gives me my crab Rangoon without sauce sometimes and she’ll even forgot the chopsticks for the sushi?! I miss the older Asian woman but am rejoiced whenever there is the male Asian working the counter, he is also great and is very efficient in what he does, I will continue coming here for as long as I do but I have to review this place now due to my discontent with the younger Asian worker.“

“The food at this restaurant is so good. I especially love the chi bap and keep coming back just for it. They also have a very talented and friendly waiter. I’ve been served by Patricia several times, and her service is excellent. She’s always smiling and very welcoming. It’s rare to see a waiter with her kind of energy. She really brings great vibes to the restaurant, which already has a nice aesthetic, atmosphere, and great food.“

“My goodness, we recently moved into the neighborhood and we have tried a few sushi joints in the past couple of months. We have tried Mr. J's several time and I must say, it's probably the best sushi in the area. The quality of the ingredients is very good, extremely fresh, they use very little rice so you can actually taste the ingredients, and they roll the sushi really tightly so that it doesn't fall apart if you breathe a little too close.

The owners are extremely friendly, the restaurant clearly focuses on the quality of their takeout since they don't have any tables, which is great because they can focus on cranking out bags and bags of orders. The more you order, they give you free rolls which is really nice. Even my kid, who is a little picky, crushes his spicy kani rolls, not a single grain of rice left, which makes me really happy. Nothing fancy, but they consistently serve great quality food and service with a friendly smile. Can't ask for anything more.

I am a little curious about the name, who's Mr. J? J-San would have made more sense but since they make good food, I'll respectfully call them whatever they want me to.“

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

“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.“

“Awesome Fresh Sushi every time!“

“Great food&crew. definitely recommended“

“Okinii is a great choice if you want a single-person meal (sushi and sashimi) 🍣 I’m so OBSESSED with their variety & creative rolls, the freshness and quality of the fish absolutely is a highlight‼️I’m literally enjoying the unique & flavorful Okinii Roll I can’t find everywhere else.

A rich & hearty dish “Braised Beef Noodles” in Okinii is my favorite comfort food with the warm broth, deep flavor, slow braised tender beef 🥩 it’s rich without being overly heavy 👏

Okinii truly makes Tonkotsu Ramen Special, slowly cooked pork bones transforms the broth into a milky, opaque, velvety‑rich soup full of deep savory flavor. Despite richness, the flavor can be surprisingly refined and well rounded.

If you’re caving somewhere has variety of menu options, fresh & high quality ingredients, comforting & flavorful dishes with inviting atmosphere and attentive service @ is your destination 🏁“

“This is the second time my company dined in for a team dinner and we had the best experience on both occasions. Food always comes out quick and the service is super kind. Shout out to Maggy for attending our team with such kindness and care! Would definitely have more team dinners at DD!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Had taken my family here today. Appetizers were just right to intoduce you to your main course! ..the miso soup..the calamari..the tempura..the coconut shrimp. We craved for Ramen since our last Japan trip weeks ago so we had this idea to try it here. Savoring the Kinha Ramen took us back in time when we were in Japan enjoying this noodle dish. You have to try it along side a Japanese soda drink! My family had a welcoming experience which provided an atmosphere of just being ourselves to enjoy family time while enjoying palatable dishes. This restaurant also has an area for those meet ups that calls for to be a little more private and still be relaxed by the bubbly fizz in your glass. Paula, the manager of the place, was very attentive which made this dining experience a very pleasant one. Thanks Paula and your crew. Oh, wait! Don't forget the desert selection, if you still have room.. You won't regret it.“

“Went here on a date with my husband and it was such a lovely experience. The food was fresh and beautifully prepared, and everything tasted high quality. The atmosphere feels a bit more intimate and special, which makes it perfect for a date night. Service was attentive and thoughtful, and the pacing of the meal was great. It’s not a cheap night out, but it feels worth it for the quality and overall experience. Definitely a place I’d return to for a special occasion.“

“So comforting and delicious!

Everything here was SO GOOD😭
In winter, when you’re craving something warm and comforting, Korean soup is always the answer. It’s about a 30-minute drive from our home, totally worth it.

We ordered the raw fish platter, which was super fresh and delicious. The seafood scallion pancake was a bit on the oily side, but still tasty. It was my first time trying the pollock fish stew! The broth was incredibly flavorful, comforting, and full of umami. The bulgogi was classic and well done, simple but good.

Their banchan were also amazing, especially the soy-marinated crab and fish cake!

And the service was outstanding. I was wearing a white top, and they immediately brought me an apron 🥹 We never even had to ask for water, they would refill it for us proactively. Both the Korean ajumma and the Chinese auntie were so kind and attentive.

I truly loved this place and will 100% be back. Highly recommend! ❤️🇰🇷🍲“
