50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Williston Park

“love the sushi here! servers are really nice and helpful. DJ plays all my favorite songs!“

“Dined here about a couple months ago and enjoyed the delicious food and good service. There's an entrance to the restaurant from the front exterior of the mall (near the parking lot) and another entrance just a few steps inside of the Broadway Mall. Restaurant was very clean, bright, and spacious; has a very good dining atmosphere and décor. Restaurant was quiet when dined here for lunch. Waiter was attentive and courteous. We had the kinya ramen combos with takoyaki and shrimp tempura. The ramen broth was rich and a little creamy, noodles were great, pork was delicious, but the ramen egg had a very strong chemical taste, like it was possibly over-marinated. I love the complimentary prawn chips; it's a wonderful childhood nostalgia snack. Overall, the food was satisfying, delicious, and very filling.“

“Amazing sushi bar and customer service!! 100% recommend!!!“

“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!“

“New kid on the block . Food is fresh but lacks taste . Presentation is excellent but need a little upbeat. We arrived without reservation at 8pm and They told us all seats are booked for 9 . We insisted and got seat and left at 830 way before next group arrived.

Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian dishes

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair access“

“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“

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

“There is a menu up at the very front of the store which I liked because I enjoy reading through the menu without being rushed to order. Then you walk up and tell the cashier what you want and you get your food within 10 minutes which is steaming hot. The portion sizes are larger than other spots I’ve tried and the food is delicious especially with the sauce they add on top. The fried rice was a bit underwhelming but the browning on the chicken more than makes up for it. Great spot if you’re looking for a quick lunch that will fill you up and warm you up.“

“Best sushi in Long Island“

“A tasty, cute, local spot that offers omakase as well as your traditional sushi/Japanese menu options with options for drinks too. Our favorite dishes to get are their Chilean Sea Bass with mushroom , truffle risotto and veggies, Masaaki Roll, and Eel Kamameshi Rice. Their sashimi dishes are also quite tasty and the omakase is affordable at just under $100.

The only drawback is that the omakase is in the back where they have bigger tables and separate rooms for a more private setting, which in my opinion takes away from the intimacy that is meant to be the purpose of omakase. But I would still recommend this place to eat at for any occasion, from a date night or dinner with family.“

“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)“

“It was a wonderful experience , considering it is my first time. We had to wait a few minutes to get our table for 4 but that’s okay! The employees were super nice and went out of their way to pull and extra table for us. I loved the authentic atmosphere. The lighting, decor, and the overall feeling of the restaurant was great! And amazing food. My family loved what we ordered and the matcha cheesecake for dessert was so good! Compliments to the chef! I could definitely see myself coming back here again, whether alone or with family or friends. Well done, Nippon Cha!“

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

“fresh and delicious! great customer service!“

“The freshest sushi you'll find.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Yummy!!!!! ummmmm!!!!! Thi shrimp platter the sushi!!!!“

“Was there last night with my family, Food service and atmosphere was great. When I asked for an Alcohol free beer I was told not on the menu , which it wasn’t. Owner came over and brought over two of his own Japanese AF Really something nice to do. New go to place.“

“Upscale Japanese cuisine, very friendly staff. For sure one of the best Japanese restaurant in Long Island. I enjoyed!“

“It’s a small ramen restaurant decorated with One Piece memorabilia. The service was good. We were seated right away and the waitress kept an eye on us the whole time making sure our water glass was full. The ramen was solid good and my husband had the tonkatsu (fried pork). The Chaysu Ramen had four pieces of fatty pork. The soup was a bit salty but went well with the noodles. The cabbage added some extra texture and needed fiber to the 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!“

“Absolutely great service, cozy environment, and good food and drinks. Our server was great with recommendations and so friendly.
Happy hour prices are a bonus too!

We had the chicken Kara-age, takoyaki, steamed spicy clams, and variety of yakitori—chicken thigh with scallion, eggplant, shrimp, pork belly with mochi and enoki, and Kuro sausage with green peppers. Drink was “To Yuzu”“

“Omg the food was so good honestly the cozy little spot we found by luck really I highly recommend you can choose a booth or table we choose table we where in a rush had to b somewhere wish we didn't but we will b back on the 18th and I will update with lots of photos the food was so delicious very tasty fresh and I can't wait to go back our waitress was so nice too everyonevwas there check this little spit out great for a quick bite family's or a nice romantic date night“

“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.“

“Authentic Japanese cuisine Family owed Clean Excellent service and friendly“

“Great place“

“I love this place. Sushi and cheap drinks, good drinks too! Way better than Tobiko by King Kullen. Staff is super friendly and the place is nicely decorated, chill music not too loud, and they deliver! I hope this place stays here, really awesome. I always stop in whenever I'm around
Edit 2024: They no longer deliver :(
But the quality has not declined!“

“Yummy food and very clean“

“Must try the Swan bowl = 10/10“

“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“

“Love their sushi! Great service and friendly staff. Good prices. The first time I went there I wanted salmon roses and they didn’t sell it, and it’s also not common around here and I asked them can they make it for me and they did ! They were ao nice ! And guess what now it’s on the menu, go and enjoy it ! Lovely place“

“Was looking for a new sushi spot & found it. Great location. Very spacious restaurant with a nice atmosphere.
? the quality of food was very good. Everything we got felt very fresh.
? our waitress last night seemed overwhelmed, we had to keep trying hard to get her attention.
? so we got the maki combo to start & we chose option B with miso soup, it was very good.
? from the special rolls we got the the
-Tiffany Roll . So delicious! It’s heavy, but very good.
-sushi sandwich - it was good, but it needed something crispy to hold & feel it…felt very mushy eating it…so it wasn’t a pleasant experience
-drank hot tea

Overall definitely recommend!

“Shogun Japan is a gem for sushi lovers, offering an authentic experience that delights from start to finish. The moment you step in, the serene, beautiful décor sets the tone for a meal that's both intimate and exceptional. The sushi here is simply outstanding—every piece is fresh, beautifully presented, and crafted with care. Opting for the sushi dinner choice was a highlight. Allowing the chef's expertise to shine through in a perfectly balanced progression is a top choice for anyone. They also have other menu items like fried rice , rolls, calamari, dumplings, and so much .“

“Excellent food and service.“

“Food is awesome and tastefully delicious 😘😋😋Staff are so friendly and cordial 😊🥢🥢“

“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.

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

“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.“

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

“Food is fresh and presented beautifully. A bit on the expensive side but the quality of the fish is superb. I recommend salmon avocado salad and salmon carpaccio, especially the latter.“

“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!“

“Great environment and food selections 👍“

“Aki is a Japanese restaurant with an elegant environment and convenient parking. The previous owner of Aki was Japanese. The decoration design of the store is rich in Japanese style, and the food is authentic Japanese cuisine. After the epidemic, the store owner was changed to a Chinese, but the taste of the food has basically remained unchanged, and the price has not changed, and if you pay in cash, you will get a 5% discount. It can be said that the price/performance ratio is quite high. However, due to the general increase in prices after the epidemic, the portions of Aki's food have been slightly reduced than before, and now a lunch of sushi is a bit full.

Kid-friendliness: Japanese cuisine is suitable for all ages, and most of the guests who come to Aki to dine are families.“

“If you’re looking for the most delicious Asian cuisine & sushi and have never been to Sakura, you don’t know what you are missing! This is our favorite place for dinner, take out & party platters for special occasions. Their food is always a work of art & so yummy! Whether you order ala carte or take advantage of their all you can eat menu, you will leave happily satisfied, every single time!“
