“great sushi and great service“

“Delicious fresh food and amazing drinks! Celebrated my friend’s bday there and we had a 12 course menu! Great atmosphere and the DJ was a great touch! Had a great time at Kaizen.“

“Fantastic speakeasy sushi joint. Very small, no more than an handful of people may join the omasake style bar where 3 talented (and cool) chefs serve you the best crafted sushi you can get. Definitely going back soon.“

“I highly recommend! The design and food is awesome.“

“I absolutely love this place! The food is fenomenal! Every time I come I order a different dish and they never disappoint. The owner is very friendly, the atmosphere is nice to have a date or come eat with friends and family. I'm bringing all my friends here 100% recommend.“

“I’m in from Miami for a week. My first night in I came in because of its reviews and distance from my hotel! All o can say is
EVERYTHING they cook and serve is 10/10✨✨. Fresh sushi and amazing flavor to all their foods.. today’s my 2ns time here. And will make it a must whenever back in NY. Amazing food guys!“

“Its our first time to order from this restaurant and we will definitely order again, the sushi order was sooooo goood Oh my god!, Loved crispy rice ball appetizers, the top notch signature 😋 its a favorite and dragon roll perfect, everything was fresh and tasty, highly recommended ( delivery order)“

“This is some of the best sushi I have ever had. Super fresh ingredients and the sushi so good I didn’t require dipping sauce. I highly recommend.“

“Its such a clean place,with delicious flavors and awesome staff�����. I always recommend it too my friends.“

“Good food and cheaper. Very nice staff“

“This place has the potential of being staple in the harlem neighborhood. It more of Americanized Japanese food that they serve. Which is not a bad thing, this is good place if you want something different but still stay in the familiarity of dishes. Their prices are very fairand give good portion sizes. I will recommend for you to come try it if you never been. It's definitely a place to go for lunch or picking up something quick.“

“It's pretty nice inside and I like the massive selection that you can choose from. Definitely cool for hanging with friends or a casual date because the vibe is pretty chill. I usually don't have to deal with a wait before being seated and the skewers are great for sharing because they're all bite sized.“

“I dare you to find me a better sushi place than Otoro. I highly recommend the place. The quality of the food, service and ambiance is unmatched!

I personally recommend the edamame, the Yellowtail roll, and the King Salmon nigiri!

I'll be back here for more. I am here a few times a month“

“I threw a sweet 16 party for my daughter this weekend at this Restaurant and it was Amazing from the event planner Natasha for Agenda to the servers everyone was so very helpful Especially Chef Wilmer he was amazing through the whole process to me planning my event there to the day it was time to put everything together he was very helpful and his food was absolutely Amazing!! I wish I took pictures but it was gone to fast everyone was so patient and they were very accommodating Thank you Agenda!! For your Amazing service! And your tasty Amazing Food!!!“

“Staff are very nice! Fish portions feel a little small but presentation was fantastic. The shrimp + uni, scallop, miso fish (don't remember what it was called), and oyster to start was the best. Very nice of them to give us a mochi dessert on the house at the end! Only other con was that the food court got a little loud at the end.“

“This is a review specifically about the Ikura don. I love ikura so was super happy to see that they have ikura don on the menu! I also got the chirashi don, which was great. But as for the ikura... why is it so sweet? The ikura is marinated in a very SWEET sauce.... that I could hardly taste the special taste of the ikura itself. I just wanted to let the management know that that marinade sauce for the ikura is WAY too sweet!! Please highlight the taste of the ikura itself. 🙏🙏🙏“

“Calamari is excellent! They have many sushi variations!! All made professionally! The hot saki is always satisfying!!“

“Love this spot! It has become my go-to sushi place within Forest Hills. I have placed both small and big (like platters) orders with them. Their food is fresh and delicious, with plenty of options. Equally importantly, their service is always wonderful and prompt. Can't wait to have sushi from them again soon :)“

“great omakase good and fresh fish....not bad for Queens location“

“Good atmosphere! Great service. Delicious food.“

“I tried this spot a few weeks ago for the first time and I can't stop going back. The sushi is soo good great quality and taste is top tier but I came here to review the incredible service from the lovely people who work there. So kind they run a lovely cozy establishment and i'll be a customer forever! <3“

“We have been ordering here for years but the price keeps going up on their platters - we usually get the XL sushi sashimi roll platter. It’s $140 at time of this review. Some of the rolls have a Korean flair with Korean pickled radish in them. A lot of spicy mayo is drizzled over the smaller rolls so it’s hard to tell what type of fish/roll you’re eating so keep that in mind if you have guests. Easy to order because you can’t choose.“

“New favorite local sushi take-out spot. Very friendly welcome when I walked in, told them my daughter really wants salmon and they were happy to custom one of the plates to include only salmon.

The salmon itself was excellent. Fresh and smooth texture, dare I say best I’ve had outside of Japan (was there in July).

Will be going back again.“

“I’ve loved this place for years, but I just catered from them for the first time, and everything was perfect. The sushi was delicious, they kept the sushi with gluten in a separate container, they have party platters and party trays, and they sold me the perfect amount of food without being pressured to buy too much. The price was reasonable- actually incredible considering how delicious everything was, and everything came on time. I will definitely cater from them again.“

“This place is super safe especially with Outdoor dining and super super better than Mamasushi!“

“I visited 52nd Sushi with my family and had a good time. It is a small, cozy Japanese restaurant. The space is clean, friendly, and welcoming.

The sushi is fresh. The rolls are well made, and the presentation looks nice. The service is friendly too — people working there are polite and helpful.

Prices are reasonable for what you get. My daughter loves sushi from here. Her favorites are Spicy Tuna and crunchy Shrimp Tempura Roll.
Love it.“

“Best and most creative sushi ever. Have never tried an item on the menu that I didn’t like. ❤️“

“I'll try to keep this to the point —

I gave Food/Service/Atmosphere 5 🌟 because they were on par for me. For a local spot, this really took me by surprise.

What I ordered:

Miso Soup:
Standard Miso Soup, nothing groundbreaking, but very tasty. Would have loved a tad more tofu & scallion, but that's just me.

Salmon Avocado Hand roll:
Not the hand roll I expected meaning it wasn't in the cone shape I'm familiar with, but it came presented like a taco with the seaweed as the shell. Salmon cuts were huge, and with great colour, avocado was bright & ripe, coupled with the perfect amount of rice. Everything tasted clean, and fresh.

Yellowtail Jalapeno Nigiri:
I messed up with this, originally I wanted a sushi roll, but my brain flubbed. Great mistake though, because the yellowtail was delicious, practically melted in my mouth, topped with a delicate cut of jalapeno on top.

Love Milk Tea:
Honestly, just a really delicious milk tea topped with osmanthus flower. It was light, refreshing, and not too sweet thankfully.

Wagyu Tataki:
Tataki is meant to be briefly seared on the outside, but the center remains raw. Was this seared to the degree I wanted? No. But, was it delicious? Yes. And the meat was incredibly tender, flavour of the sauces really complimented everything on the plate.

I finished off with a matcha cheesecake to go, I'm sure it'll be good.

With tip, I spent $67

Again, for a local spot in Richmond Hill/Kew Gardens, I was thoroughly impressed and satisfied. Personally, with slight adjustments, these folks would do great in midtown. I spent a little under what I would spend at a restaurant in the city, and got an incredibly satisfying meal, and left full.“

“Good food everything is well made“

“The food is good. The store neat and clean.“

“Bai Sushi may seem like a small run-of-the-mill takeout restaurant from the outside, but they are so much more. The cozy atmosphere and welcoming staff make for a wonderful dining experience. The food is amazing (raw or cooked). There’s something for everyone who likes Sushi or Japanese cuisine. They also accommodate if you have dietary needs. Sit in or take out, DEFINITELY stop by!!!“

“Me and my son have been coming here for years for the lunch specials. The prices got pretty steep over time which I could understand in this economy now but they never compromise the quality of freshness here which always keeps me coming back. Great service and always recognized and welcomed. They’ve pretty much watched my son grow up and we always are excited to have our sushi date here no matter what time of year. Always great“

“Amazing food & great service!“

“It’s so nice to have a boba place in the neighborhood. The boba is pretty fresh from what I’ve had, and the fact that the store closes so late is a huge benefit for a night owl like me. Their selection is pretty fruit-heavy. Just be aware that the kitchen closes earlier than the store as a whole.“

“Was super excited to try some rolls tonight after a 12 hour work day, but unfortunately after 45 minutes of waiting patiently inside for them to be prepared they still were not ready and hadn’t even been started to be made. Staff not entirely apologetic. Asked for refund and won’t be back.“

“Love this place. I've tried the chicken beef and shrimp and they're all fresh and good tasting. Sauce isn't overly sweet like a lot of teriyaki. I've had some of the sushi too and it's fresh and cheap. Very nice employees, family run place and they offer a super cheap student meal to the kids which is admirable because they're better off getting some fresh protein, rice, and veggies than other cheap fast food in the area“

“Great hole in the wall omakase. My girlfriend and I did the $95 course omakase. I tend to always go to Manhattan for omakase, but this place restores my faith in Queens! The tuna caviar hand roll was so excellent, I had to order it twice. Check it out at least once.“

“Friendly staff and tasty food“

“We love this place. Been there twice on the last month. I had a wonderful and plentiful sashimi. The fish was very fresh and delicious. My wife had the eel. The atmosphere is casual but super friendly. It's BYOB! Highly recommend this restuarant.
My wife says she loves that there is NO music which makes it a peaceful space. She also appreciates that there is a roomy feeling. It's not overcrowded.“

“I got the the 2 roll special for lunch for $11, Chicken fried rice with yummy sauce for $13 and miso soup. With tip it was $28. Great price and enough portion to last me two meals. I forgot to take a picture because the food was that delicious for the price. Very sweet and kind customer service. Will definitely be my new go-to restaurant for sushi and asian cuisine!“

“Went to Otaki Sushi for lunch and it was worth it. The service was on point; our server was super polite, always checking in, and she made sure our hot tea was never empty. The tea is really good and pipping hot not warm.

We had the salmon teriyaki bento boxes for $14, and you definitely get your money’s worth. The salmon was fresh, no fishy smell, cooked perfectly with a nice crust outside but still moist in the middle, and not drowning in sauce. It comes with broccoli, snow peas, and corn. I like my veggies crunchy so I enjoyed it, but if you like them softer, I’d just mention that when ordering.

The bento also came with California rolls, and those were really good too. Between the portion size, quality, and service, you leave full and happy. Five out of five.“

“Magnifico todo, excelente lugar, trato, y todo buenísimo!! Repetiremos seguro!“

“Absolutely wonderful spicy tuna poke bowl. I highly recommend this place. We got takeout and it was ready fast. Great price. Amazing poke bowl. This is definitely a place we will frequent!!!!!“

“Ordered chicken teriyaki lunch special. It was made fresh as I could hear the meat sizzling in the back and the wait didn't take too long (around 10-15 minutes).

The restaurant environment wasn't too great but I figured this is the kinda spot you order takeout from and, in that case, it's adequate for takeout. The chicken looks moist and well-sauced. The roll looks well-made with no browning on the avocado. Miso soup is comforting to have with chicken teriyaki over rice.

I have no complaints. 8.5/10

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options like tofu teriyaki

Wheelchair accessibility: On first floor, no steps.“

“Love this place! Excellent service, great food, wonderful environment! I’m going back. Love the moctels!!!!Great experience!“

“纽约地区第一刺身店 只有唯一“

“my family comes here every wednesday!! if you can’t tell WE LOVE THIS PLACE!!! it’s the best place for sushi and if you are vegetarian there are many options!! my favorites are veggie tempura, and ikura roe roll!!! def recommend! this is my family’s fav place“

“The forever 21 roll is bangin. I also really enjoyed the lady gaga roll.

The other ones pictured are the spicy salmon and the sweet heart roll. They were also good but the above two I mentioned were better. Fish was very fresh.

My server was very nice and always filled up my water.“

“It’s been a while since I’ve been to Mama Sushi, but they did not disappoint! Happy hour was great—the margaritas were on point. The sushi was, of course, amazing, and the shrimp tacos were mad good! I’ll definitely be back. Big shout out to the free valet too, because parking was definitely impossible.“
