50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Wantagh

“I had an amazing experience at Mount Fuji. The food was top tier and perfectly made. I highly recommend the general Taos chicken. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful, they gave recommendations and they were fun but respectful. The atmosphere is great, the restaurant is passionate and authentic, it’s a really nice place to dine at.“

“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.“

“I loved my Sunday lunch here. Went with my mother, we got served tea upon sitting down and ended up spending $40-ish for the both of us (including a sushi roll for the appetizer). Lunch special portion was a bit smaller than I would prefer, but I still enjoyed it!“

“The food was very good. The Ramen bowls were large and filling. You should try the sushi tacos! It’s a seaweed wrap make to look like tacos!
We really wanted to try the shaved ice, but they didn’t have the strawberry syrup, and the worker who makes it was out ??‍♀️.
Will definitely return another time.“

“Hibachi combo was so great and tasty I love the food and texture it was really good and a great portion of food it would fill you up if people were to ask what would be good to eat I would choose that plate of food as a selection to eat I would return back to eat more and the service was great“

“To start, the spicy Edamame was amazing. It was creamy, just the right amount salty and rather than kicking with spiciness, it warmed our mouths with a heart that was pleasant. The red pepper ramen with peanut butter was one of the most interesting flavors I've had. It almost felt very pad thai infused. Subtle yet making a statement. The ultimate best broth here is the Kalbi Ramen (a mix of their pork & beef broth). OMG I could drink it by the gallons!! Highly recommend it!

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian Ramen option“

“Great service and fresh fish!!“

“Delicious food, amazing service!“

“Yoho Japanese is THE BEST!

Ive had my eye on Yoho ever since they opened I really wanted to try! finally last night was my chance to try it for dinner and they did not disappoint!!! everything was cooked to perfection and the food came in a reasonable time. They included all utensils and chopsticks, which I loved because it makes it easier to just chow down! The website is also very easy to order on and I really enjoyed my experience with Yoho! Will definitely be recommending to family and friends and will definitely order again!“

“The Atmosphere is so chill and the food is amazing. You have to try the coconut cake and the coconut pudding. It’s homemade and made with fresh coconut water. Please continue to support them as they are an amazing and friendly business. You won’t be sorry. It’s very demure very cutesy ?

Dietary restrictions: They offer Vegan options“

“I'd recommend this place ... sort of. We chose to sit on the dining side since it was only two of us and didn't want the "show". The service was friendly and good but not overly attentive. Our drinks were very good and a fair price (we had the Oceanside Zombie but without the Sprite added). We both ordered the hibachi surf and turf (lobster and filet mignon) which came with a house salad and clear soup, both of which we really enjoyed. The filet was tasty but the pieces were cut very unevenly so some pieces were medium rare and others were close to well done. The lobster tail was very small and too salty. I would not order it again. I was completely disappointed that the veggies were drowning in teriyaki sauce. There was no indication on the menu that they are served in sauce. I typically love hibachi vegetables but I hate teriyaki sauce! They reminded me more of Chinese takeout vegetables than Japanese hibachi. The fried rice was good but not the best. It came with lots of peas and I hate peas. Another disappointment but not a surprise was they don't offer hibachi mustard sauce. Like so many other places these days they offer yum yum sauce instead which we refused because, yuck yuck. They offered us some ice cream on the house (I think because the server knew I was very disappointed about the teriyaki sauce). It came to the table in little plastic cafeteria style cups with the pull back paper top. LOL. I'm glad it did though because the top listed the ingredients and let's just say, we immediately sent the ice cream back. All in all, not the greatest hibachi experience but also not the worst. I would maybe go back for drinks and try some other menu items ... and hold the teriyaki sauce!“

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

“Best sushi in Long Island“

“I've had take out from Kuryu a few times and originally i was like, "yikes, portions are small!" however, after adjusting my expectations about the quantity, i've come to appreciate the quality of the raw seafood they serve. Tbh, i won't eat anything raw anymore unless it's truly fresh and hopefully chemical and preservative free, which is hard to find these days.
I've had their omakase which was amazing - the uni was succulent and sweet! Spicy tuna rolls are usually what I order so the lunch special spicy roll combo is my goto. It's a better deal since 2 of the individual rolls are approximately equivalent in price to the 3 spicy roll combo. If you love crab like i do, the upgraded Kuryu california roll is topped with real delicious crab. Anytime I feel a hankering for raw sushi, this is where i'm going. I do find Kuryu's hours are rather inconvenient and they do book up for dining in (which doesn't bother me as their ambiance is meh)“

“Kaiyo has become our new sushi spot. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. Also the hot food is spot on, the tempura and teriyaki is fantastic. The atmosphere is perfect for a peaceful and quiet meal. The staff is always so friendly and polite. My family and I highly recommend Kaiyo for delicious sushi and Japanese cuisine.“

“Amazing food, great owners!“

“Came here for lunch and it was great. Wonderful portion size and a good selection of bento box. Not served in a traditional bento box but a 4-sectioned plate. Soup and salad served separately. Price is reasonable. Attentative staffs. Will return in the future.

Parking: Parking lot behind the building“

“This is the best sushi in long island. The quality of the fish is superior, the presentation is flawless and the taste is incredible. The sushi for 2 is consistent every time, the flavors are unbelievably good. They pair each piece of fish with a sauce that will bring out an entire experience. They prepare the Uni (sea urchin) perfectly. It's a treat to be here. Thank you!“

“I came here yesterday for the Chicken Katsu rice bowl. I really love all the veggies and the chef's special sauce. I got extra veggies to bring home for lunch the next day. Service is always awesome and always with a smile. I love the Naruto decor and so did my lunch companion. I'll be back!“

“great Arata special sushi Rolls were awesome! All around great sushi meal!!!“

“Just ate here for the first time last night - a friend highly recommended it. The food was amazing - we had two poke bowls, chicken teriyaki, vegetable fried rice, shumai, Chicken negimaki - everything delicious. Can’t wait to 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!“

“Steven and his staff are the best! Food is fresh, well presented and delicious! Very attentive service! Thank you for taking my challenge and crushing it. I walked in and said feed me with no holding back. I did not even look at a menu And they knocked it out of the park! Thank you again!!! Until next time!🙏 A+++++++++++++“

Vegetarian options: Salads, sushi, soups, veggie plates“

“This is hands down one of the best sushi places in this area . Everything I have tried from here is amazing !“

“My son and I ate here twice. We live sushi so many selections and the sushi always tastes fresh. My daughter got chicken teriyaki and she loved it! It’s so close to my house and I always forget about it, I’d eat here more. It being on a busy road always makes me think of other options but I’d love to eat here more.

Parking: The restaurant is on a very busy street. There’s a few spots right along the street in front of the store. If not, you have to park down the side street and then walk.“

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

“two days ago was the first time in this excellent restaurant. But It is surely not the last time. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the efficient service, with the high quality meal and wine and with the honest cost. We will no doubt visit there again.“

“Always good, all the time. Been going to Komo for some time. I enjoy the sushi. From special rolls to the simple and classic, always fresh and delicious. My wife gets their hot food, also very good. For takeout or dine in, give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.

Parking: Park in the lot behind the restaurant if you can't find a spot on the street.“

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

“Great service. Ken is the man on the grill??????????…. Five star service“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Good delicious but service just fair!!! Felt rushed“

“The Absolute Beat hibachi ever!!! Amazing people and the freshest foods ever!!! We love going to Merrick Suki!!!“

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

“The atmosphere, in terms of noise, took me a bit of getting used to (the glass of wine probably helped to mellow me out). The service is efficient, patient and friendly. The chef was very personable and the food was delicious! The experience was fun and delectable.“

“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.“

“My husband and I used to live close to this restaurant and it was our favorite sushi!! We have since moved 45 min away and tried a few places closer to us……we have resorted to taking the 45min drive just to eat here because it truly is the best on Long Island!! 10/10

Just a few of our favorites:
The white dragon roll
The Mr. Rory Roll
The Out of Control Roll“

“wonderful little inexpensive gem !! I need to remind myself to order from them more often! Delicious ! The people behind the counter are very polite and accommodating as well!“
