50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Manhasset

“Had a great experience at Kissaki Manhasset. The hospitality of the staff is top notch, and the manager Frank was able to help my party use up an old gift card we had purchased back when there was a store in LIC. Would definitely return again!“

“Maybe I am living in 2019 but I found the food prices to be rather high. Portions were not overly generous, either. But what we did get was excellent. Wonton soup was the best I have had anywhere. Scallion pancake tasty but not too greasy, as it can be elsewhere. Chicken and broccoli, orange beef, and lo mein had the rest of my party raving. The dining room was clean and bright (not too bright) and the service impeccable.“

“The food is pretty good. Their sushi is fresh. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because their "waygu" was extremely fatty and not the melt in your mouth kind either. I happen to love waygu but you may want to pass on it here“

“Chefs are very good at entertaining! Not only that, but the food was amazing and definitely worth your time and money there. I hope to bring my family and friends there more often.“

“The ambiance is stylish and comfortable, and the dishes are exquisite?We chose the ?$100 pp Omakase for 2 and also ordered a few appetizers and nigiri a la carte.The appetizers include a steamed egg—soft and smooth, with the sauce flavor just right—you can order it with added Uni.Since every ingredient was so fresh and sweet, we couldn't resist ordering more scallop, uni, and wagyu nigiri to satisfy our cravings～The cocktails were fruity and very professionally made?. The dessert's cheesecake has sesame flavor?Check this place out‼️“

“Brought friend here for them to try Ganhoo for the first time, the wagyu fried rice was a HIT. I think my friend is going to get sucked in after their first time. Great for large groups of people for dine in for dinner!!Vegetarian options: They have vegetable available to balance out the meat“

“We had a fantastic dinner at Gyu-Kaku celebrating a birthday. Since it was our first time dining there, our server explained the various options on the menu and made excellent recommendations. Based on those, we chose one of the preset group meals. Food was plentiful and delicious. Despite being told that the table would only be ours for 1:45, service was not rushed at all. A great experience overall. We will be back!“

“Izakaya Nana offers a charming blend of calm and lively vibes, ideal for enjoying Japanese cuisine. The menu features delicious items like grilled yakitori and spicy tuna on crispy rice, complemented by an excellent selection of sake and Japanese beers. Service is attentive, making this spot a great choice for a relaxed yet enjoyable dining experience.“

“My second time going here, both experiences were great. The food is astonishing, service was also great. I will definitely recommend and will be going back.Kid-friendliness: My son was offered complimentary, as well as food was kid friendly. He loved it my son is a toddler.“

“Ginza Don is a hidden gem in Flushing's Golden Mall, offering a delightful teppanyaki-style Japanese donburi experience. I started with the flavorful Prawn tempura appetizer for $6.99, which was perfectly cooked and crispy. For the main course, I indulged in the Teriyaki Chicken and Thinly Sliced Pork Belly Donburi for $15.99 and the Grilled Eel Donburi for $22.99. Every dish was fresh, delicious, and prepared with care right before my eyes in their open-view kitchen. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was clean and cool, with plenty of tables available for diners. I highly recommend Ginza Don for anyone looking for a tasty and authentic Japanese meal in Flushing!“

“Mikado offers a delightful dining experience with its clean and colorful ambiance, creating a welcoming atmosphere for guests. The staff is exceptionally helpful, ensuring a pleasant and smooth dining experience. The sushi rolls are a standout feature, impressing with their freshness and expert preparation. Whether you're a sushi enthusiast or new to Japanese cuisine, Mikado promises a satisfying meal that will leave you eager to return.“

“This has been on my list to try for a while. My only regret was not coming sooner and devouring the food before taking pics! Amazing food and service. Portions are generous and worth it. We ordered a bunch of different dishes from spicy rice cake to soup dumplings to triangle balls. 10/10 chefs kiss. Also, shout out to the young lady server. She was great and attentive! Will be coming back soon <3“

“Had not been in the area for over a month. Was happy to see its finally open! They have a special passover menu which I was happy to see. They aren't serving rice or alcohol and have a special kosher soy sauce. Believed she mentioned it being made in house. The service was great they were very attentive and knowledgable. Ambiance was relaxing and tranquil. Last part, best part the sushi was fresh and delicious. I had the premium temaki. Will for sure return with my children.“

“We had a great dinner at Ocean Code! Tasty food, good music—we’ll definitely be back!“

“Great little spot! A Dimond in the rough here. Walk in, and 2 things right off the bat will impress you. The place is very clean, and the smell is of fresh sushi. There Alot of so-called sushi restaurants that may mask the sushi smells or just not try and come off of bad fish. This shop is not one to mask anything they are doing a great job of keeping the food fresh on a daily ? basis. Based on smell and cleanliness alone, they get 5 stars! The lemonade is made fresh and squeezed right in front of you, but ... yes, there's a small, but here, ask for extra sugar. You will thank me later. I'll be going back again very soon.“

“I ordered delivery through Uber eats last night and I was definitely impressed with presentation of food.. chirashi was beautifully presented as you can see in the picture and fishes were very fresh.. they could provide bit more rice though.. this is the smallest rice I ever seen in chirashi. Also, I ordered spicy salmon maki but they sent regular salmon maki which wasn't a huge deal but still bit disappointed.“

“This place is great it’s pretty new and I’ve come a couple times already. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. It’s also very clean and the staff is so nice. You get a free entre with every 6th purchase as well.“

“We always have a great time here! It was really nice to see how busy it was. The service is good but you can wait a bit if they're busy as all of the waiters/waitresses are covering all tables. The food is spectacular. Really great and would highly recommend.“

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

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

“A great addition to the neighborhood! Was super excited to have my first omakase experience since after my 2nd pregnancy without the hassle of traveling to the city. I was prepared and made sure I didn’t eat too much before hand since we did the 17 piece set.Chef Sam was a master at his craft! And he was super sweet! Each piece was distinctly garnished. I’ve had experiences where during a bigger course set .. the sushi would start tasting the same after like 12 pieces but not here!!Super great value too as I’ve had more pricey omakase in the city that’s up to par with this place.The only con I’d say is that on open table , it said it’ll be a 1 hr experience but it took 2 hours . They explained that Sundays are usually the only day with one chef as it’s more quiet but it’s just so happen that this particular Sunday was busy !“

“Now That's Sushi!! Heard from several people that this was a great place to get sushi and rolls without going all the way into the city or Flushing. I was skeptical but I also didn't want to trek all the way into Flushing on a rainy day... I was so glad to be wrong - every thing good that was said about the food was true and then some! Fresh, made to order - and it looks even better than the pictures! Parking is available in front or underground to the right of the storefront; street parking is also easy enough. But what got me is the friendliness of the staff working there. I asked several questions regarding the food and payment methods; she was patient with every question I had. The restaurant is cute and you can eat there - but better to take out and eat in the comfort of your own home. Worth your time and then some...“

“We have been coming here for over half a year and it’s our go to spot for sushi. It’s the only place outside of Manhattan where we can get fish that doesn’t cause my skin to react. The quality and preparation is ways above the local sushi joints.“

“Listen flushing is a huge place but amazing food options are not, this place is a Gem. When i saw the set up it reminded me of a place i went to in Japan sitting around the bar killing a bowl of miso ramen ( that i need to try next) and they have amazing small bites if your on the go like me. This place is now my go to spot. Last but not least the service is unmatched as soon as you come the door you are greeted with a smile even if your just walking past which i love“

“Today I ordered from here for the first time, trying a new sushi spot in my area. I have to say, amazin and fresh. I will definitely be ordering from here again. The service was also great. They forgot to put soy sauce in my order, simple mistake and they sent it over ASAP.I thank them for that. Recommended for great food and service!“

“Extremely delicious food , i tried thepork bao buns- 9/10gyoza w the spicy mayo- 10/10takoyaki- 10/10we also got ramen bowls , so authentically good , the flavor was to die for on a cold day like today! they actually take their time to bring the food out ( not alot of wait time dw ) the service felt family owned , they were super sweet & attended to us w ease. overall no complaints , cozy , affordable & great atmosphere , thank you!!“

“Space is super small so you cant sit and eat, but there is a parking lot for fast pick up! Owners and staff are very nice and love to chat with you! Sushi is very fresh and the large platters are huge and reasonably priced. I was picking up a platter for my family dinner while i was pregnant and ordered some cooked rolls on the side for myself. I asked them to please change gloves for mine as i was pregnant and they were more than happy to do so! The also have this order card system where the more you order they give you these cards and when you have enough you can redeem for a specialty roll or their sushi rice dish! This place is my go to spot!“

“Very nicely decorated, great ambiance, great selection of music, service was second to none, and the food was excellent. Ordered shrimp shumai, steamed vegetables with dipping sauce, unagi don, sushi combo 2, and green tea/tempura ice cream.Good portions, reasonable pricing, fresh, and incredibly satisfying, will definitely be back again!“

“Good food, best in the area. I would come back. I think they are likely the best Japanese restaurant in the area. The Sushi/rolls were excellent, Kitchen entrees were very good as well. However, their ramen noodles could be better, soup base was good but the ramen is too soft. Overall great experience.“

“This is my second review on saying a sushi place is top 3! And by far, they have some of the BEST sushi anywhere I've ever been. Their sushi was the first time I ate sushi all those years ago, and it has been INCREDIBLE every time. The workers there are so kind and so respectful, and the dine in presentation is amazing. An example is the teriyaki chicken's presentation that you don't want to miss.“

“A hidden gem! A quaint spot where you really feel like an insider that knows the best kept secret.... that Sushi Palace in West Hempstead is one of is not the best sushi spot on Long Island! Mai the owner makes you feel like family and if you go as much as I do she'll even remember your order lol I always recommend this place to any sushi snob such as myself. They use the freshest ingredients with Sushi and sashimi that literally melts in your mouth. They offer other yummy Japanese food as well. Support a local business that seriously delivers every single time, you will not be disappointed.“

“The food here is always so delicious and the vibe is nice. Not sure why it’s not super busy all the time because I’ve loved it all 4-5 times I’ve been there. It’s fairly affordable too. Check this place out if you haven’t already!!!“

“Very pleasant gentlemen working inside and answering the phone. They were understanding when we had to cancel our first trays due to postponing our event. When we rescheduled the food was ready and wrapped very well for the car. I was asked to pull up so they could come and bring the trays out. At the party everyone raved about how fresh and yummy the food was. Will definitely go again!“

“Truly an excellent dining experience with a beautifully curated menu and all of the delicacies you’d expect. They make the steamed egg right in front of you and it tastes AMAZING!!! The speakeasy aspect makes it perfect for a quiet, elevated meal in a cozy setting/atmosphere. Non-pretentious, quality dining.“

“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.“

“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“

“It’s downstairs! Sushi was fresh! I got the eel cucumber roll.the ramen was okthe chicken bao buns had no taste but the texture was perfect.They sell tempura ice cream. Service was ok no complaints but definitely didn’t go out of the way to refill your water.“

“The service is great, the food is delicious and the presentation is even better! I ordered their lunch chicken teriyaki Benton box . A plate like this would cost $35 plus dollars in Manhattan but in Jamaica NY it was less than $20.The picture doesn’t include the Thai tea I ordered and the salad that comes with the bento box.The place is clean and the food presentation is exceptional.“

“I work at a recently opened physical therapy clinic down the road, and this place is my go-to for lunch & dinner.I like to get chicken teriyaki with white rice all the time, great portion size, taste amazing, and very affordable!Highly recommend!“

“The food is SO good!!! The people working there are SO nice. We had an amazing time trying different skewers and everyone was delicious. Lots of choices on the menu, we took our time and ordered a few different plates. The lemonade, by the way, was delicious, sweet, but not too sweet❤️Can’t wait to return!One thing to keep in mind, this part of the restaurant is on the second floor. There are stairs leading up to it. It’s a small place, but if there’s a wait, it will be worth the wait.“

“The owner is so nice! Since my partner and I are both teachers, a lot of the time we get there late and miss the ordering window. Instead, the owner told us to call him whenever we wanted sushi and he'd have it ready for us! Not only this, but the sushi always tastes and looks amazing! Highly recommend paying this business a visit.“

“Me and my husband came here for lunch it was super nice service with green tea refills! We had the nicest waitress! Received a complimentary sweer potato roll with our order and it was really scrumptious and savoury! I had the Tokyo roll and Bayridge roll with spicy mayo on top! I had the Bayridge roll twice it is so delicious with cream cheese salmon avocado and masago on top! My husband. My husband ordered a Yoshi roll (shrimp tempura in the middle with spicy tuna on top) - He also ordered a Volcano roll which looked absolutely delicious and he liked this roll the best part it had salmon tempura on top and california roll in the middle - would definitely come back here again. They had decent prices. Did not get a stomach ache from here been getting that lately from sushi in Long Island. Queens NY is the go to for good sushi it seems. Next time I want to try their Gentleman roll which looked so good it has a green soy wrap paper instead of seaweed. Picture of this is in the middle of their menu. Do come here and enjoy“

“This location is near my place and I always see it when I pass by. Tonight I felt like stopping by to pick an order to go. The place looks a cool spot to hang with friends and family and super clean and helpful. I skimmed thru the menu quick and the Karaage Curry caught my eye since it was a curry dish !!! I must say the food was good! However, it was a big disappointment in which there was no curry ..? Just some sweet sauce drizzled on the chicken katsu. I was really looking forward to this dish/my dinner but the curry was a no show! Kindly can do better with this dish by actually adding the curry sauce!!“

“My friend Win C. recommended this sushi place to me awhile back. I never dined-in here and only did take-out. The restaurant is on the small side and it's probably best to come in pairs or a group of four people max. I tried their chicken teriyaki entree and the spicy tuna rolls lunch special. I enjoyed both of my meals. The prices are here are quite affordable and you'll get a decent amount of food. I would have dropped by here more often during my Mondays off from work, but they aren't open on Monday's unfortunately.“

“Our favorite sushi restaurant ever! And if you're not into sushi, there is something for you too - tempura, hibachi, etc. So very delicious and they are so nice there!“

“Arrived 6:10 on a weekday evening and scored the final table. Immediately after that, the crowds started to pour in and they all had to wait. Small narrow first floor setting. Diners were praising the ramen I hear from other tables. Ordered potato croquette. The croquette was made with precision flavors. Tasted the freshness, outer fried layer was also very golden. Being familiar with ramen with experience in having eaten in Japan, this is NOT on the same level. However this is a 5-star review because of its solid consistency, as shown by how the crowds were willing to wait outside. For me the star dish was the fried tofu. Friedness level was good and interior quality of the tofu was also decent but it was ultimately the sauce that it was drowned in! That was made with very well-thought out flavors. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Portions were large. Areas were clean and tidy. Ambience was cute with manga decor. Overall, this makes a great spot for smaller groups. Upstairs also looked very happening with those skewer options. Will try next time.“

“I would rate it 5 if they delivered. Awesome place!“

“Fantastic DELICIOUS FOOD Great service Highly recommend“

“Big bang puts alllll (literally all) other poke bowl places to shame. Their poke bowls are like no other. I live 35-40 minutes away and I travel to big bang every single time I'm in the mood for a poke bowl. I've tried the many places near my house and it just isn't good. It's so worth the drive. Give it a try“

“First time we were here, for lunch, the food and quality was truly amazing. The pieces were above normal size and taste were amazing. Perhaps was because they just open for business? Our second visit it not as first time, the sashimi and sushi got smaller and now it is normal just like any other sushi place. I wish the restaurant focus more on quality and quantity, not trying to cut back and cut corner. This would bring back customers constantly....“
