“Title: Memorable Birthday Celebration at Benihana - Outstanding Service and Delicious CuisineReview:My family and I celebrated my birthday at Benihana on February 24th, 2024, and it was an experience to remember. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly, setting the stage for a fantastic evening.Our chef, Chow, impressed us not only with his culinary skills but also with his ability to converse effortlessly in both Spanish and English. His creations were delicious, and the entertainment he provided throughout the meal was captivating.Amanda, our server, deserves special recognition for her exceptional service. She was professional, efficient, and always attentive to our needs. Despite the bustling atmosphere, Amanda ensured our dining experience was seamless and enjoyable.The restaurant ambiance was lively, adding to the celebratory mood of the evening. Despite the noise, we were still able to converse with our party and soak in the vibrant atmosphere.The portion sizes were fair and reasonable for the price, and the food was absolutely delicious. The noodles with chicken were a particular highlight, perfectly seasoned and satisfying.As it was my birthday, I appreciated the special touch of the staff singing "Happy Birthday" in both English and Japanese. It was heartwarming, and even the stoic older lady server, who seemed more focused on her tasks, added a humorous touch to the occasion.Overall, my birthday experience at Benihana was truly enjoyable. I left the restaurant with a full stomach and cherished memories. Thank you, Amanda, and the entire team at Benihana, for making my birthday celebration so special. I highly recommend Benihana to anyone looking for delicious food and outstanding service.“
“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‼️“
“Finally! A good quality Kosher dairy restaurant in greatneck! Although it’s called Dagim they have way more non fish options than you’d think a restaurant specializing in delicious sushi and fish would have. Everything was amazing. I never had fish that fresh in my life. Service was good the ambiance made you feel like you were dining somewhere in Manhattan. Definitely will be coming back to Dagim!!!Vegetarian options: They had great pastas to choose from, the appetizers and salads were greatKid-friendliness: I had to bring my baby, although we were a small group, they made sure to give us a table big enough where a stroller would fit and we would still be able to dine comfortably“
“We've ordered hibachi to go from here multiple times and have not been disappointed! The price is fair, the portions are good and the food has been great! I prefer it to the two other similar style restaurants in the area. Great service as well; the employees have all been very friendly!“
“No matter how many times I go, Joon Omakase is always fresh, high quality and delicious! This is by far, the BEST sushi restaurant in NYC and I highly recommend you try their fresh oysters, tuna tartar and all of the other items on their menu. (Much better quality than sushi buffets)They are also very polite, friendly and always make sure you have a pleasant time when you visit ?“
“All 6 handrolls in the set menu (salmon, yellowtail, crab, spicy tuna, scallop and lobster) were so fresh and a fabulous combination of beautifully prepared fish and warm rice! The perfectly poached egg in the creamy mentai udon is the best mentai udon I have had- much lighter but more flavorful than what you would find in Japan Village. This restaurant belongs on St. Marks Place in the city! May is so sweet… definitely excited to bring friends and family back the next time around!“
“Finally found a Quality sushi restaurant in Long Island worthy of being called a Japanese sushi restaurant. Sushi is excellent, service is slow and atmosphere is okay. If you are a sushi snob like me. Kuryu is the place to go authentic sushi.“
“My son and I were just looking for a quick lunch spot and he saw Union Sushi downstairs of our hair stylist so we decided to try. I was skeptical at first, but the sushi is solid, tastes fresh, and they don’t skimp on the raw fish. We ordered a super tuna roll, tuna avocado, yellowtail and shrimp tempura - all were delicious. They gave us two small miso soups and a free hand roll to try. Very good and would come back.“
“Fresh and great quality sashimi/sushi, especially for the price! It’s a small shop so we always get take out and it never disappoints. The salmon nigiri is the star of the show for sure! The spicy tuna is great too if you like it on the spicier side ;DPicture: Dragon roll + medium nigiri sashimi sushi roll combo $97“
“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.“
“This is my third time, and every time the food is served very quickly, and I get sour plum soup every time. I am allergic to beef, so I chose pork belly. The meat quality is very good, very tender, and there are many barbecue toppings. Recommended??“
“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!“
“A very good experience the food was delicious. Great customer service and not very pricey. Mufu hibachi and sushi is a must try. They are wonderful here. There’s great music here. In a great areaKid-friendliness: My kids enjoyed there experience here with the food and how fast they received their food“
“Amazing sushi, really nice staff! Tuna tatar was so good. We also ordered Sakura Mango and wasabi Roll were fresh and outstanding taste good. We love bento box, too. Everything was amazing, would love to come back!! Also the atmosphere was amazing and so beautiful.“
“This place sushi taste unbelievable, never had delicious sushi like this place , I’ve been to so many places in Manhattan, but this place is top off all sushi , I was even passing by and I said let me try, after I finished I went inside the place and I thanked them, it’s fresh and delicious .Vegetarian options: They have pure vegetarian sushi“
“Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant! Quality is amazing. We order from here a lot, and they package everything so organized, provide chopsticks, soy sauce and deliver in a quick manner. Hot food we order is always still hot upon arrival! Highly suggest!“
“My favorite omakase place thus far!!! Been here 3 times and all my friends that I brought loved it as well. Chef Kin made our experience so exquisite. Def will be coming back!Came back again and wanted to praise Chef Sam! After a disappointing experience in Times Square location, I wanted to show my bf the experience I always had in Bayside. He was very welcoming and accommodating. He took his time to explain the whole process to my bf who is new to omakase and we both loved it. Everyone at the bayside location is professional and very accommodating. Much appreciated!!!“
“Sushi was pretty tasty, I ordered it for take out. The worker that was helping me was very friendly. One thing I would suggest is that part of their menu on Ubereats or some other platforms arent suppose to be on there anymore due to the fact that they don't do lunch special rolls anymore.“
“Perfect cute spot for a date night. The sushi rolls are really unique — loved the one with Brussels sprouts on top. The servers are all super helpful with answering questions and giving recommendations. They were also accommodating of my food allergy which I always appreciate. Highly recommend!“
“i loved there make your own bowl amazing i love island poke its great but i tryed theres and it blew it out of water very impressed and to the people out there lady with bad comment next time if your so picky go to store and have them make it in front of u and check it right away and when u brought it back you where given new food thats a++++++ to me thankyou for your awesome food hats off“
“Got the sushi/roll platter and it was absolutely delicious. Fish was very fresh and rice was well seasoned. Our interaction was short but the staff is very friendly and even helped us open the door when we were leaving. 10/10 will come back.“
“My first experience with Yetnal Tongdak and the original fried whole chicken was very good. Crispy skin and moist meat. If they’re able to maintain this consistency, I’m sure they’ll stay in business for a long time. I added both mayo and sweet spicy sauce on the side. They were kind enough to send a small amount of sliced onion that normally goes with their mayo sauce chicken. Their pickled radish is just right for my taste. Not too sweet and not too bland. Can’t wait to try their jokbal next time.“
“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.“
“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!“
“I've been going to Elite Pizza for years, and I've always been impressed with the quality of the food. The pizza is my favorite, but I've also had the pasta, sushi, and sandwiches, and they've all been delicious. The crust is always thin and crispy, and the toppings are always fresh and flavorful.The service at Elite Pizza is also excellent. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and they're always happy to make recommendations. The atmosphere at the restaurant is casual and relaxed, so it's a great place to go for a casual meal with friends or family.Overall, I highly recommend Elite Pizza to anyone looking for delicious kosher pizza.“
“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“
“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.“
“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.“
“Stopped at Mira Sushi on the way to JFK. Atmosphere was great, very welcoming the second you enter, no wait. Menu is extensive, lots of delicious options for food and drink at reasonable prices. Food was absolutely delicious, everything was fresh and tasty. Service was great too. There was never a time where we were waiting to be helped. Employees are very friendly. 10/10 would recommend.“
“A good amount of ramen bowl for the price you pay. Taste wise its good at best, comes with a wide variety of sauces and oil to add on to.Shrimp tempuras and soft shell carb were amazing both in terms of size and the crispy textures.Their curry chicken katsu bowl is a must have if you stop by.“
“Perhaps it's one of the best sushi restaurants in Great Neck. Never disappointed regardless dine in or take out. Fish is always fresh, well cut, and added with chef's special ornaments. On top of these, the price is very reasonable.“
“Pros: Hostess and waiters were helpful and very attentive! Good and fresh sushi. I also had the rock shrimp appetizer which was really good. The drinks made without sake are good.Cons: The hot chicken wings was not much effort. It’s just fried large wings with Tabasco sauce on the side—if you want wings avoid $12 here and get the Chinese restaurants honey wings instead from any Chinese spot in the area.The drinks made with sake are not well balanced.“
“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....“
“The food is delicious and fresh. We also have food allergies and they call to double check, which is great. My only issue is the last two times I placed online orders they corrected the total and charged me extra for “add ons”. I had zero add ons both times. In fact the only thing I asked for was for them to NOT use sesame seeds or seaweed paper because of an allergy. So because they’re omitting something, instead of charging me the same or less, they charge more?? That doesn’t seem right.“
“We loved our dinner at Ichi. The place is very clean, pleasant lighting and music in the background. Extensive and interesting menu. Food arrived in 10-15 minutes. Fish tastes great and fresh.We ordered the tuna pepper avocado roll and salmon teriyaki bento box. This comes with side of salad and miso soup.Perfect quantity for two people and we enjoyed every item in the box ( shrimp tempura, shumai, corn). The salmon teriyaki had the perfect crunch to it.Highly recommend“
“This place is incredible. Unbelievable flavors and I am shocked at the level of service and price as well. It is much better than other places and they consistently deliver quality food time and time again. I hope they can maintain the level of excellence as it feels too good to be true to have this local gem available to us. Protect and support this restaurant at all costs!“
“The food is so great. Since I moved to the neighborhood this year I never tried it before the new ownership but I'm so glad I got to come with the current owner. Just awesome quality of everything from the sides to the sashimi. If you want to leave a restaurant satisfied and full, come here (:“
“A lovely place to sit down and enjoy food while getting away from the hustle and bustle of day to day life. We ordered several ala carte rolls, the inari sushi combo, and an oshinko appetizer and eat items are worth every cent. A perfect balance of textures and flavours in each roll while also being of good size!“
“Fresh, delicious food at very reasonable price, paired with great, friendly service --- what else can one ask for? Perhaps a variety of Asian food including quality sushi, poke bowls and ramen dishes? Yep - they have you covered in a clean dining room. Even the fish in the aquarium at the entrance are well-behaved and wish you a "bon apetit" when you enter! [Just kidding, but only about that last part]. Happy that we found this place, and will be back!“
“Came here with my husband and ordered a variety of rolls. All were great. In our opinion it’s the best sushi in the area Mineola/Garden City/New Hyde Park area but is a little pricey, especially considering the vibe and feel of the restaurant.“
“Best hidden gem at Pelham. My family and I come here at least twice every week. Every time we come here, we are always greeted by smiles of the waitress and feel so welcomed. They talk to us like we are friends and always have a good time here. When we order rolls or sushi, the fish is always so fresh. Every single single time. Does not disappoint. The angel roll is a must try, so delicious and such a nice blend and balance of flavors. All of the kitchen foods are so flavorful and delicious. There really isn't a place. My go to sushi place.“
“GREAT KOREAN FOOD AND SUSHI ??This place is great for Korean food and sushi, all for a decent price between $10-15 per dish. My friend and I got a 3 sushi roll combo, tteokboki, and Korean fried chicken. They were all so good! There’s a huge parking lot with stores around such as Kung Fu Tea and Hmart. The waiters were attentive and the atmosphere and comfy and quiet!“
“The food is super delicious, it's at a good price! But the waiter's service is very bad, he is not friendly with customers, there is no greeting or farewell, he does not offer you what they have and you feel as if they were giving you the food. VERY BAD ATTENTION FROM THE WAITER. That's why he's always alone or they order takeout.“
“We were skeptical of the menu change at first and almost walked out, but we decided to stay. We are glad that we stayed, because the sushi was incredible and very fresh. I'm glad we kept an open mind and would highly recommend this place to anyone. We will be returning.“
“I've been here three times with three different groups of friends and they've all loved this place. I always get sushi however one person I went with didn't eat sushi, but he loved the General Tso's chicken. They have a great assortment and diversity of selections on their menu. Their sushi is very fresh, beautifully presented and melts in your mouth. There are plenty of cooked options as well for people who do not eat sushi. The ambience is nice with a smaller sized dining room, and the service is outstanding. It's nice because the servers are on top of your meal/order without being on top of your table. I highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to go back again.“
“Great sushi spot. It’s affordable and there’s so many food options not just sushi and sashimi but also LOTS OF entrees and appetizers. I had the red snapper sashimi, kani roll, vegetable udon, tonkatsu ramen, hamachi kama. Everything was good the sashimi was fresh and really good. Definitely worth it and will be coming back to try more things“
“Our go-to sushi spot in Long Island is amazing. My favorite dish is the udon katsu, but everything on their menu is delicious. The owner is very friendly and always takes the time to ask about your day and family, which makes for a warm and cozy atmosphere. It's located in a great area and I highly recommend it!“
“Great sushi but WAYYY too expensive. The price of one roll costs just as much as a roll at Toku which is an extremely high end sushi place… If they weren’t so insanely expensive I would definitely come way more often but unfortunately I can’t justify the price. Please lower your prices they are crazy??“
“The portion size is quite large. The taste is good. It takes a bus from the Main Street to there. Reservation is better to order some dishes. The tip calculation is based on original price rather than the discounted price, which is quite ridiculous. So please be aware of the trick.“
“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.“
