“This place surprised me with how good the food is. I loved everything I ordered. I’m a salmon lover, so the “Salmon Lover” nailed it! The Salmon Avocado salad was awesome as well (pictured). I also ordered the Kani Salad. It was so good I ordered a second one!!“

“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've been here a few times. See the same staff every time, and they're great. I got the chirashi once, and now it's all I get. The fish in it is the best I've ever had. Great selection, huge pieces, super fresh, fair price. You won't be disappointed!“

“We came it at an extremely late time (~30-40 minutes before closing) and they were the only sushi place still open. Not only that, they had amazing menus on iPads and gave us multiple options for water. Lastly, they had our food out extremely quickly and it was extremely good, especially the fries which was very surprising. Each roll was very pretty and perfect for photos. Thank you so much for Sam and Brooklyn for their incredible service at such a late night, it meant a lot because it was after my sister’s graduation and she loves sushi. Would definitely recommend this place, the atmosphere was amazing as well.“

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

“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.“

“Really enjoyed the sushi here! I ordered the Ask Sushi and the Fuji roll, and both were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. All tasted high quality, and the balance of flavors was perfect. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was cozy. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!“

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

“This is my first time here all the way from Newtown, Connecticut, and it Definitely did not disappoint. The atmosphere, the food, and of course, the wonderful service. Aymaan Was our server, and I’ve eaten at many restaurants and this is by far one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. He was on top of everything, and treated us with tons of respect. I asked him multiple questions and he was able to answer them at the top of his head. A very kind, hard-working young man.“

“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.“

“Good food and cheaper. Very nice staff“

“I’ve been coming to enjoy sushi since they first opened; whenever I wanted some good quality sushi to-go or like today, on a special occasion. I’m always greeted with a smile and I appreciate how accommodating they are with requests. Highly recommend!“

“I love JC! I've ordered from here countless times and it always gets to me super fast. I really love their Shrimp Tempura Roll and the fact that they have amazing party platters for a good price. The fish is always fresh and everything is high quality.“

“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.“

“My family and I have called in a large lunch order for pick up four weeks in a row...and have ordered in the past several times.

The order is always ready quickly. To date, never any issues.

They separated the hot food from the cold food when bagging.

Everything is as it should be with plenty of sauces and most importantly, DELICIOUS!

The 3 roll combo is a great deal and we like the Yellowstone pizza...crispy base, avocado, seaweed salad (i think) and your choice of tuna or salmon on top. Sauce on the side. Really nice appetizer.

Hope you can make it or order in and continue to support small, local business!“

“This is honestly one of the best Japanese restaurant in NYC! As a raw fish lover, I’m always looking for places that serve truly high quality fish, and this place absolutely delivers. Super fresh fish, and an amazing dining experiences!“

“Good atmosphere! Great service. Delicious food.“

“Very delicious sushi 🍣 The tempura was excellent, everything was fresh and beautifully presented. I especially liked that they have classic rolls wrapped in nori — I hadn’t been able to find those for a long time. I’ll definitely come back again ✨“

“Took us a while to find the place, it’s on the second floor of the food court. We made a reservation but we were the only ones at the restaurant. You have to buy alcoholic drinks at the bar downstairs and they have a decent selection of draft beers. Food was good quality but tiny pieces for our taste so we added a roll combo to our 16 piece omakase and polished with some mochi ice cream cups from downstairs shop. Overall it was a very nice evening!“

“So I came here for my birthday dinner and at first I did not want to eat there since I thought it will be a party vibe, but the lounge area wasn’t open. Which I get it since it was a Wednesday. But the Chef did not want us to leave disappointed, he did it all (Champagne, birthday sign, food, shots) all at a discounted price. & let me tell u the food did not disappoint. It was delicious! I was overwhelmed with his generosity. He really made my night special. And something I will always remember. Keep Being the kind person u are Wilmer. Good things will definitely come to u. I will be back. THANKS AGAIN!“

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

“I have nothing but great things to say about this place. The sushi is incredible, you really are getting what you pay for in terms of price. It’s a very small restaurant that does to go and can dine in, the food is truly so good and taste fresh each time. This was my 3rd time here in the last 2 weeks so I had to say something positive.“

“Tried this place as me and my partner were looking for an Omakase menu specifically and we were both impressed. The food is fresh, well prepared and if you sit at the bar/counter - you can watch the chef prepare each dish right in front of you which we enjoyed.

Great for a smaller more intimate date night.

The only thing that took away from the dining experience was that the restaurant was in, what seemed like a newer building and as a result, it felt like a bit of a ghost town and the bathrooms were unfinished and across the hall from the restaurant.

Aside from that, great food, VERY fresh fish and a good overall experience.“

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

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

“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.“

“I’ve had sushi all over America, and this is a top contender amongst the best I’ve had. The menu is on the simpler side, but don’t let that detract you from the absolute quality they deliver. The sushi rolls are larger than typical and priced very reasonable for what you get. Plus they serve warm sushi rice which not many places outside of Los Angeles do.“

“Have been ordering for many years from this little local restaurant and finally realized I had never written a review. It must have been because our guests could not stop raving about how delicious the sushi and everything else we ordered and picked up to eat at home.
The sushi has always been very fresh, delicious and the presentation is always lovely!“

“Mr sushi always treats us so well. Excellent white fish complimentary which is a lovely way to begin this exquisitely delicious culinary experience. The staff is sensationally kind and the music just tops it off so well. I would reccomend anyone to come here.“

“This is such a beautiful speak easy style bar in New Rochelle! Highly recommend for some cocktails, but I had the pleasure to dine as well, the menu is delicious. The most unique sushi experience in Westchester! Reservation recommended for dining but not required, though they have specific seating times! For drinks you can stop by with no reservation, cheers! This drink is a sparkling yuzu lemonade, expertly crafted by the bartender! I really appreciated being greeted as soon as i came in with a smile from all staff, they are very attentive during your experience as well!“

“Excellent mom-and-pop small sushi spot in the bigger shopping plaza. Parking is not easily found. Try to park on the neighboring streets.
The quality of sushi is good and they make sushi very fast while you wait even if your order is large.
They make lots of large boats orders and party platters.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Selection was amazing! Waitresses are very attentive. They keep your water cup filled. I went on a Saturday evening so the price was $38.99. A little pricey for all you can eat sushi. I called first and was told that it was $28.99, which informed my decision to go. But when I got there the sign said $38.99! ,"Oh well, we already traveled here, I could've sworn she said $28.." "What's an extra 20 bucks" Overall the food was amazingly prepared.“

“I recently ordered pick up from Mama Mia, once I got home I noticed the rice I received included egg which was not what I requested.
returning to the restaurant to swap the dish was not an option. I reached out to management to explain the situation and I was incredibly impressed by how they handled it. The manager was professional, understanding, and immediately made things right by issuing a full refund for the entire order.
It’s rare to find a restaurant that truly prioritizes customer satisfaction, especially when a mistake occurs. Despite the initial issue, the excellent service and their willingness to go above and beyond to fix it have earned my respect. Although I couldn't enjoy the rice myself, a family member did, and they said it was great! I truly appreciate the restaurant taking responsibility, and I look forward to ordering from them again.“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pizza Paradise truly lives up to its name! 🍕✨ I catered from them for an event, and Michael was amazing — so helpful, responsive, and made the whole process effortless.

The food was a huge hit! 🤩 The specialty sushi disappeared instantly 🍣, and the MVP pizza pie — with pesto, marinara, and vodka sauces over melty mozzarella — was the star of the night. 🌟 BH the food kept coming.

If you’re looking for unforgettable flavors and top-notch service, this is the place. Can’t wait to go back! 💐“

“This place is amazing!!!! I went with my grandmarents for dinner and I orderd the Branzino Francese AND IT WAS DELICIOUS! The garlic linguine went beautifully with the lemon wine sauce and was filling too!

The sevice was fantasic as well, the waitress made sure our table was taken care of very well!

And dont even get me started on the ambiance! this is the perfect spot for a date night, family event, or even if your out with your friends!

All and all it is a very chill and fun place to hang out and get some great food! I reccomend it to all!“

“We moved from Port Washington to MA this May and have been unable to find a spot that offers everything that Aki does, not to mention at the same quality! They just execute everything so well. It was our go to for sushi, we loved the apps (the crispy rice and jalapeño yellowtail are fire), and loved also having options for classic Chinese food. We loved that it offered a little bit of everything. We only ever ordered takeout but the service was always top notch too. We love and miss you Aki!“

“Brooklyn native but just moved into this area with my man, so we had to check this place out. Stopped in mid-day for food and drinks and it did not disappoint!

We ordered karaage, hamachi crudo, a roll, shishito peppers, brussel sprouts, scallop ceviche, and the spicy salmon crispy rice. Everything hittt

Had some unfiltered sake and a cocktail.
And Mikey behind the bar was amazing, super attentive, made excellent recommendations, and took care of us the whole time. One of the best food and service experiences we’ve had in Brooklyn.

New neighborhood spot unlocked. We’ll be back.“

“Friendly staff and tasty food“

“Good food everything is well made“

“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.“

“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!!!!!“

“Amazing food & great service!“

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

“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.“
