Best sushi on LI. Alvin is the best! Highly recommend the Arata Style sushi and the grilled eggplant appetizer. The specials are always amazing and the staff is extremely helpful with making recommendations and providing an always enjoyable experience.

Got the all you can eat for $50....they were so slow that it took 1 hour for our first order to come in and in case you say, there was 2 tables with customer including our table...sushi was OK but not worth the price, atmosphere was ok and service was too slow...by the time our sushi came to our table, we were hungry

My favorite authentic Japanese restaurant. Black Cod Miso and special rolls are great. Fresh, quality fish every time!

This place had been on my "to try" radar for a couple of years, and my son's 25th birthday was the perfect occasion to pay Arata a visit. We were not disappointed. In fact, it was an amazing meal and some of the best sushi we've ever eaten. Very cute place, friendly service, would make a perfect date night eaterie. We started out with a bottle of the Karatama Draft sake, which went perfectly with the meal. Then a hot app, the popcorn shrimp tempura, which was wonderfully crispy and tender inside, with a nice creamy sauce; the accompanying salad made for a terrific contrast and really elevated the dish. After that, we concentrated on our sushi feast, sampling three kinds of sushi: fluke, salmon and a special of the day, smoked sea trout. All were buttery and fresh. Finally, we tried three of their rolls, all fantastic: Unagi Labyrinth (chopped crunchy eel, avocado, cucumber, almond and sesame seeds with eel sauce) and Anya (crunchy spicy scallop roll topped with seared salmon sashimi, yuzu honey mustard, sesame seed, masago and crispy filo); and Volcano (crispy calamari avocado roll topped with crunchy spicy tuna and creamy eel sauce). I'd never had almonds, scallops or calamari in a sushi roll before but they all worked beatifully. As my son said, the composition of the rolls felt very intentional and sympathetic, everything worked together rather than being just a gloppy grouping of ingredients.

I usually never write reviews and I try my best to give people and businesses the benefit of the doubt but from the service down to the food was absolutely horrible. Never TF
This place is no star. Don't waste money to come to this place. Today I and my husband came this place for lunch. They don't have lunch menu so I ordered sashimi special snd my husband ordered sushi special. It is the worst Japanese meal we had. The fish is not in a good quality and tasted awful. They charged $32 for sashimi special but they served me cheap fish.. Horrible, horrible... my husband didn't like his sushi as well. We spent $100 for lunch. We won't come back this place anymore.

This is my first time eating in. I usually order for takeout. It's a small little cute sushi spot so i definitely reccomend reservations as they get packed very quickly! The sushi tastes so fresh and they have multiple people making sushi. The waitresses were very knowledgeable and friendly. The lolipop fried shrimp was soooooo delicious and it came with a chipotle aioli sauce which was very tasty as well. The tonkatsu ramen was one of the best ramens I've tasted. It was filled with veggies and just enough meat! I shared this ramen with a friend and we didn't eat it all! Def a great portion to share. The arata dragon roll is my favorite. It is sooooo delicious!!! Shrimp tempura was fresh and crispy. I loved the Daniela roll too - the jalepeno on top is a must although you can ask them to take it off - but i believe it's that little kick that makes it a WOW thing! The kubota sake was soooooooo light and crisp with hints of fruit it was amazing. It's served cold and we got the small - and there was enough for 4 servings. Will definitely keep on coming back! Great addition to the neighborhood.
