“An Absolute Culinary Triumph with a Casual Twist

If you are looking for some of the freshest, most expertly crafted Japanese cuisine on Long Island, Dozo Dozo in Woodbury is an absolute must-visit. From the moment the food hits the table, it is clear that the kitchen operates at a world-class level. The fish quality is unparalleled, boasting a melt-in-your-mouth texture that rivals top-tier, high-end omakase spots in New York City.

Every single dish we ordered was a home run. The crispy rice tuna was a spectacular starter—perfectly golden and crunchy on the outside while remaining delicate on the inside. The spicy Kani Salad and Edamame were spot on.The specialty hand rolls and the signature Miso Black Cod were equally breathtaking, showcasing a masterclass in flavor balance and presentation.

The staff also deserves immense praise; the service was incredibly attentive, fast, and warm throughout our entire meal; with a nice window table.

The only minor disconnect is the atmosphere relative to the price point. With a premium menu where a dinner bill can easily scale up, the environment feels a bit too casual and informal. While the space is clean and contemporary, it lacks the quiet, upscale intimacy you might expect when paying top dollar for premium sushi. It leans more toward a lively, neighborhood-casual spot, kid-friendly, than an elite dining destination.

That being said, the food is so phenomenal that it completely overshadows any minor atmosphere critiques. If you prioritize world-class sushi over strict fine-dining formality, Dozo Dozo will easily become your new favorite spot. I will definitely be returning.“

“Amazing experience at Kinton Ramen! The food was delicious, and Beth, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure I got the exact ramen I was looking for. Her outstanding customer service made a great meal even better. I’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“
