37 Best Japanese Restaurants near East Northport

“I'd been rather dismayed at most of the local restaurants around Huntington and East Northport, coming from LA and NYC. But then we ate at Aki, newly relocated from their previous location on Jericho Turnpike. I'd have to say this is some of the best Sushi I've ever eaten. The Jericho roll was a spectacular taste sensation far surpassing anything I've been served at the places sushi fanatics have dragged me to around LA and NYC. Nobu ain't got nothing on this place - and the prices were unbelievably affordable.“

“Straight out of Japan. Intimate with simple Japanese decor. Welcoming and proficient as a sushi house must be. We had a Sushi/ Sashimi dinner and a few rolls. Delicious. But no cucumber in the California rolls was disappointing. Rice was delicious too. So important. Reasonably priced. Don’t miss this if you love Japanese cuisine.“

“MIKO Sushi and Hibachi in East Northport is one of the better sushi and hibachi restaurants around. The staff very nice and helpful. It is always fun to bring the Kids or Grandkids to enjoy the hibachi show. The place has a nice bar area when you come in. There is plenty of seating all around.“

“I love the food at Wild ginger. Tonight I order the crunchy salmon roll, hibachi fried rice shrimp and a sex on the beach. The drink wasn't the best but it wasn't bad either there not really known for their drinks. The service was pretty good and efficient. The restaurant isn't super big but it accommodates everyone. I also like the atmosphere in the restaurant.“

“This place was so nice! I’d recommend going on a not so busy day, the service would have been much better. We walked in and everyone was running around like a headless chicken. But the food was amazing highly recommend the sushi! Everything is Halal which is so nice!Dietary restrictions: Fully HALAL ❤️? Alhumdulilah including steak ?! So good!“

“Freshness of the food and presentation“

“Ma and Pop shop that melts my heart when I’m there (2nd time going). They greet you when you come in and are the only employees there (so definitely have patience though their kindness makes up for any time waiting).Each time I’ve been there they’ve given us a complementary “starter” (2 pieces per person of a spicy, on-the-house sushi).Today we went for the lunch combo and that’s been our favorite so far since the price is good for what you get and I love that it comes with a choice of miso or salad (last time we went for dinner and I had their bulgolgi sushi which was amazing but I loved how fresh and filling their lunch special was while also being budget friendly).They even served us free dessert both times; a complementary (and beautifully cut) orange slice and half a mochi each (last time it was the vanilla mochi which I loved as it reminded me of an orange creamsicle with the orange slice but today’s was a matcha mocha that was absolutely delicious).We’ll definitely be back :)Vegetarian options: I had a sweet potato sushi roll that was so good! I also see they have avocado rolls and other rolls that are just surrounded by a single but delish vegetable.Kid-friendliness: There was a mom and her little toddler waiting for takeout; the owners not only gave them the complementary starter while they waited for their order but even a whole mochi to the toddler as she was waiting with her mom. The owners have the biggest hearts! ❤️“

“New clean place, u love ramen this place is it! Steam buns are delicious and don't get me started on the wings, no sauce needed for these. Place is bright and welcoming, staff is friendly and on top of everything. Ask for things the way u like it and they'll make the adjustments, me everything extra spicy! Enjoy!“

“This place is the best hibachi restaurant my family and I have ever gone too. The manager Chris and chef Jason are amazing! Everytime we go there they remember us and our kids and always greet us with smiles. Chef Jason remembering our little ones name, makes her feel so special. They literally have the best food and drinks. Would recommend this place to everyone.Kid-friendliness: They keep the kids engaged during the whole cooking show and even make them balloon animals at the end!“

“To start off the yummy journey, arriving to the area and doesn't need to be fancy. The food is where it's at, when the second brain tummy is satisfy with great delicious goodness, we live much better in so many ways. Part of life itself. Craft on my friend.“

“Truly the best sushi!!!! Everything about this place is incredible. The service and food are top notch. We searched for a sushi place and never found one we wanted to go back until we came to Mizu. Now we can’t get sushi anywhere else! Get the spicy tuna rice appetizer, you won’t be disappointed!“

“I have been going to the Bay Shore, NY location for at least 6 months now and can't recommend it enough. I went with several of my co workers a few nights ago and DEO was awesome to have as a waiter. He was funny and super helpful.“

“Great food and hosts ! Never had a bad meal or experience here or at their place or previous location!“

“Highly recommend- go check it out!“

“The service is always great, delicious food.“

“Went on a Monday when a lot of other sushi places are typically closed. I am happy to report that the fish was very fresh. We did the omakase. It is $120 a person for 15 tastings. They also offer 10% cash discount. The staff were very attentive. The inside is very modern and clean. The omakase was a great experience with various different flavor profiles. I liked that the omakase included appetizers and dessert. Definitely would recommend.“

“EXCELLENT FOOD & SERVICE!“

“We wanted to go to kodabuki but they were closed , we looked on yelp and found this gem im so happy we went here it was absolutely fantastic !! We were fortunate enough to get the happy hour menu as well as the regular menu and it was all delicious, everything down to the green tea was unbelievable and the service was spectacular, can't wait to go back“

“Loved it! Very friendly and welcoming staff. The food was delicious and came out quickly. Will definitely go back again! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Ordered take out for our first visit to Mugi. Excellent customer service. Dinner for 3 was reasonably priced, with tax $62.00. I forgot to take pictures before serving our dinner, was so excited to enjoy it! Bento box teriyaki chicken was well prepared, large serving and included tempura! I ordered sushi: eel avocado roll and spicy tuna roll. Very well prepared, even flavors in each bite, fresh. Reasonably priced. Our birthday boy son who selected Japanese dinner ordered tonkatsu, that was also well prepared. I will def go back to try specialty rolls. Only 4 stars for 2 reasons, 1. the salads served with bento box and tonkatsu combined did not equal the amount of one lettuce leaf. They were so small that 1 tsp of dressing was too much. 2. half of the flimsy plastic lids that covered our aluminum food containers were broken. We had 10 containers. That's a lot of broken lids. It was disappointing. Better packaging is warranted that can withstand the heat of the food and then being stacked in a take out bag. That having been said, the quality of the food is worth visiting Mugi again. I will try dine in for sure.“

“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!“

“David and Patty are the best at making their customers feel like they are special. Great food and service.“

“We go because the owners are the nicest people ever! Everything is always great“

“I love this place! Tonight we tried the sashimi for two as well as the hibachi filet mignon. We also ordered a sake bottle. Absolutely delicious and food was presented to perfection. This is my go-to sushi spot( ALWAYS FRESH!!), they have so much to offer! Service always 10/10!! Will always be a returning costumer.“

“This place is amazing! The service is beyond expectation, the food was great tasted fresh and the rolls were some of the best I’ve ever had. The sanitation of this place is also very good, it’s nice and clean, the table are always wiped down before a new person comes!!! I’ve been to many sushi places and there was always something about the food or sanitary concerns but this restaurant has no issues! I will be coming back every soon!“

“Sushi is always great! Reasonable prices as well. Prices have gone up recently like every other place, BUT they are the only place that also increased their portion sizes. Rolls got bigger! So well worth it!Seriously, I can't recommend this place enough for take out sushi. I keep coming back. There's a few seats inside as well, which are nice, but they definitely cater to take out a bit more.“

“My wife and I walked in for dinner without a reservation maybe two months ago at around 6:30 on a Saturday. Since the wait was a bit longer than usual we were kindly given a plate of Edamame on the house. That's when we noticed that our server was working the entire dining room by herself after another called in sick last-minute.Being short staffed is a challenge on any night but this was a packed house on Saturday night with a large number of take-out orders flowing and the team stepped up with impressive dexterity. Given the circumstances mistakes can happen but we didn't notice any.Our meals were delicious, creative and beautiful. We've since returned several times for the great food but the real triumph that night was how well everyone in the front house performed.Kid-friendliness: We saw several kids having a great time!“

“Came up saying I visited a year ago. I’ve actually visited several times since the latest being January 7, 2024. Love their food and there is plenty of it. Hibachi is so fresh and delicious and the gentleman cooking. It was a complete entertainer.“

“Kohaku is my favorite Japanese restaurant. I've been coming here for over 30 years. The owner and staff are always courteous and nice. The atmosphere is cozy and there are plenty of tables for the patrons to sit down. The food is very good. I usually order the Johnnie roll which consists of crabmeat, avocado, cucumber, rolled in seaweed and topped with shredded crab meat and spicy mayonnaise. It has eight pieces and is a delicious meal especially in the summer. I also like their delicately fried shrimp tempura with tempura vegetables and sauce. Before your meal, they bring out a vegetable appetizer which is nice. I highly recommend Kohaku for lunch or dinner as well at take out.“

“sushi was very fresh. eel was delicious. poke bowl amazing. small restaurant, reservations recommended.“

“One of my go-to sushi spots for a few reasons. The price is a huge driving factor, especially in this economy sheesh! I'll keep it brief though, this sushi spot is right off the service road on the I-27. It may look a bit awkward on the inside because they share the location with a chinese take-out spot so both establishments are essentially connected at the hip. I love their lunch special here: Any 3 classic rolls & either soup, salad, or soda for under $15. They stuff these rolls too so I can never finish my meal in one sitting. I will say you pay for what you get however, this sushi is tasty but it definitely isn't the best sushi available. It is the most convenient and affordable though and for those reasons I will continue coming here when I need a quick sushi fix.“

“This restaurant lives up to its name with congratulations and longevity. The fish is so fresh that it melts in your mouth. Every dish is cooked just right without anything to complain about. Try the bento box, sashimi or omakase, and unadorned at lunch. Their prices are reasonable for the quality of the ingredients and well they cook everything. To top it off, service is helpful, friendly, and fast. Parking is ample in the lot and there are stores in the strip mall to hang around if there is a line. We'll be back for sure given it's so hard to find a place this yummy at a deal too!“

“An under-the-radar gem, Dake Korean (it's actually a Korean eaterie, not a sushi place) is a must visit and probably the best Korean food I've tasted on Long Island. My son was in the know about the place, and took me there for a belated birthday dinner. Started with excellent banchan and an amazing seafood pancake, then a dish of phenomenal squid and pork belly, all washed down with yummy soju. Loved Dake!“

“The manager Cindy is sweet, personable and extremely accommodating as is the waitress also named Cindy. Their sushi is always fresh and the amount of fish in the nigiri and rolls are amazing!!!!As a sushi lover and a personal chef, I highly recommend this secret gem.They are located on the west side of Broadway/Greenlawn Rd., on the same side of the street as 7-11, within a small group of stores.Not to be confused with the other Japanese across the street. That's a completely different story.PS. They have a sushi roll special that's really amazing as a quick takeout.“

“Great food&crew. definitely recommended“

“I got this restaurant recommendation from my Google searches . Their sushi was very very good, the waiter made some recommendations which I took to heart cuz obviously you knew what he was talking about cuz the sushi was excellent. Excellent. Well prepared and came out in a timely manner. Highly recommend this location. Hopefully I get back to this area as a travel and visit and dine here again“

“This is my favorite place to go for Sushi Happy Hour. There are comparatively more discounted sushi, sashimi and other menu selections than any other sushi restaurant that I know of on the Island. Yelp check-ins get free Edamame or Shishito Peppers. The drinks are potent, the crowd is eclectic, and the owner is sociable and outgoing. I highly recommend.“
