One star is for the ambience of the bar and front lounge area. The service was fine. The waiter tried to be attentive. The food was good, but frankly, it was underwhelming. All this was fine and good until everything went suddenly downhill. The waiter asked if we wanted the check, even before offering dessert. We told him that we wanted dessert, especially bc we were celebrating a birthday. The dessert came with no candle (we had requested one). He apologized and got us a candle. We were midway into dessert and still working on our cocktails when the hostess came over. They needed our table and the next reservation was waiting. (It was 8 o’clock and our reservation was at 6:15pm). We were surprised. The hostess said usually reservations were for 1 hr and 45 min. No one had told us that. Frankly, it felt like we were being chased out. They suggested we relocate to the bar. We decided to just rush through the rest of our dessert and leave. The whole interaction was so odd and off-putting. While we were paying the check, we noticed the hostess, our waiter, and another server discussing the incident and looking over at us. I have never experienced such treatment before and I felt mortified. On the way out, I discussed these feelings with the hostess and she said very coolly “well, you were 15 min late.” First of all, we weren’t. Second of all, she made it seem like we could have had more time to eat if we weren’t late. It was our fault. There was no apology about the way we were treated, except from the waiter.This was supposed to be a celebratory dinner for a special meeting among friends, but it ended on such a sour note. I will never come back again. It was overpriced and we barely digested our food before we were sent away because we overstayed our welcome.

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!

Fantastic restaurant, easily the best Japanese cuisine on LI. Chef's Nigiri offering and Uni pasta are standouts. Been several times and has not once disappointed, highly recommend.

TLDR: Kissaki has landed on Long Island. Very good looking restaurant. Sandy futomaki, spicy tuna and negitoro rolls were great.I was meaning to try Kissaki for awhile and recently I was able to. The restaurant while small was renovated very nicely.Toro Sundae was a nice bowl of all the premium stuff. Uni, caviar, toro, egg yolk. Pretty good started. Miso soup could have been a bit more flavorful but definitely the most well-plated miso soup I've seen.Sandy Futomaki was solid. Uni, ikura, toro, we opted to remove the cucumber due to an allergy. Very flavorful and satisfying. Spicy tuna roll had decent heat and the negitoro was solid.Uni pasta was a good portion but just wish there was more uni whipped into the sauce. It tasted more butter forward but might have been an off night. The textures were very good, crunchy, everything clinging to the ramen noodles.Definitely would come back again, service was fantastic.

Beautiful place. Great service. Interesting and inventive dishes. Some more successful thank others. Overall, lovely but in my opinion, a little overpriced and under portioned.

We didn't have a reservation but we were able to sit at the bar and order food. The uni pasta was the standout of the evening. As usually cocktails and mixed drinks were close to $20 which appears to be the new norm.

Sexy chic vibe, tasty meal. We ordered the cucumber salad (great), ribs app (might skip next time), eel futomaki (highly recommend), salmon reg roll (skip), spicy tuna roll (skip), and the waygu fried rice (good but would try something else next time). Prices are def steep but good quality. Would return for a date night or drinks and light bite.

Hostess asked us to be done with our table by a certain time before we even sat down. Food was dry. Not really what I was expecting. Wife and I were disappointed on almost everything. And I'm not one to complain or put a review. It just popped up asking for one so here it is lol.
Restaurant was quiet during lunchtime. I recall one or two other tables seated while we were there. The manager and all the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The food was incredible and the matcha tiramisu was so good that we ordered two more to go! We will definitely be back again soon.
