50 Best Japanese Restaurants near North Bellmore

“The food here is incredible. Everything is extremely flavorful, fresh and very well portioned. I’ve ordered a few different dishes, and all were very very tasty. I’m extremely picky when it comes to sushi, and theirs never disappoints! Also their white rice is my absolute favorite, cooked perfectly.“

“food was great and the service i received was amazing. Ian, my server, was very kind and helped us a lot through the ordering process to make sure we get the best quality food and service. food came out quickly and the ramen was amazing! i would 100% recommend“

“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! ❤️“

“I drive past this place on my way to work regularly and always see the lunch specials sign. I finally decided to give them a try and I was not disappointed ! Small place but staff were super friendly and my food was delicious ! My lunch special portion was so large I had enough to save for lunch the next day. I will be back !“

“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.“

“Arrived for happy hour so we tried everything. Calamari was tender, with a generous portion. Risotto balls were light and crispy- so good! Our servers Angela and Nicole, and especially the effervescent Grace made us feel right at home. We will be back!“

“My sister wanted to celebrate her birthday at Yoho Japanese Fusion Restaurant. We enjoyed every part from decorations to food presentations. We recommend ordering any Sushi but we ordered Spicy Tuna and Salmon Roll (especially the spicy flavored sushi), Mango Bubble Tea and Miso soup. If you have allergies they’ll let you know what’s inside each dish. Everything is on the menu. The food was really good. Everyone was sweet and professional. She always checked on to make sure we are satisfied and enjoying. We are definitely returning soon.“

“here you will find unassuming decor and fantastic quality fish.not your typical strip mall sushi joint. Taka offers Tokyo level quality sushi; authentic, fresh, minimalistic. well worth a 45 min drive. try the omakase. i have been coming here for over 7 years and have never been disappointed.“

“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!“

“Amazing place. Best sushi I've had in a while. Great service. If you are thinking of going, don't think, just go you won't regret it. Everything is delicious and fresh. They're wasabi beef is to die for, fried oysters are delicious and sushi is, extremely yummy!“

“Fukee, and their Staff make for a great Sushi experience. They are super friendly, and keep their restaurant very clean. The food is great, from the dressing on the salad to the Hamachi Kama, the rolls are the proper size with quality fish and can be customized to your liking - they remember me and make sure my rolls are seed free and cut into 8 Pieces - Thank you May!! I highly recommend trying them out, esp for the lunch special as its an easy way to try their food for less money then a dinner, find what you like and then go in for a nice dinner with friends as they can accommodate larger groups and have a great bar too.“

“The restaurant is very well decorated and very clean. The staff was very nice and helped me since this was my first time in. I got the chicken karaage and a brown sugar milk tea. The chicken was hot and crunchy and was so good i want seconds and the milk tea was so refreshing with it. 10/10“

“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.“

“Walked in and they were playing queen (loved it!). Ok, now onto what you're looking for. The place is VERY tiny, so I don't recommend a group gathering. The food is yummy, and the sushi is fresh. It looked as if it was "the spot" for take out because so many people came and went. There are a few tables so show up.“

“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.“

“We went for the first time to Spoonsticks yesterday and we are so disappointed that it has take us thins long to check this place out. We ordered the pork bun, pork maandu, vegetable fried rice with pork, ramen and the ho tteok. Everything was delicious. My favorites were the pork bun and the ho tteok. We honestly can't wait to go back!“

“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.“

“Restaurant is super cute, with just enough seating for a couple groups. Onigiri was delicious! I loved the different options available, and was super happy that they had vegan options because it gives me another place to go with friends who have food restrictions! Also, the tea was super yummy and had tons of customization options. To top it off, the woman working there was super nice and informative and patient! Definitely going back!!Dietary restrictions: Vegan options available! They had 4 different rice balls that were listed vegan.Wheelchair accessibility: There’s handicap parking, and the tables have separate chairs, and there’s plenty of room to move“

“I'd recommend this place ... sort of. We chose to sit on the dining side since it was only two of us and didn't want the "show". The service was friendly and good but not overly attentive. Our drinks were very good and a fair price (we had the Oceanside Zombie but without the Sprite added). We both ordered the hibachi surf and turf (lobster and filet mignon) which came with a house salad and clear soup, both of which we really enjoyed. The filet was tasty but the pieces were cut very unevenly so some pieces were medium rare and others were close to well done. The lobster tail was very small and too salty. I would not order it again. I was completely disappointed that the veggies were drowning in teriyaki sauce. There was no indication on the menu that they are served in sauce. I typically love hibachi vegetables but I hate teriyaki sauce! They reminded me more of Chinese takeout vegetables than Japanese hibachi. The fried rice was good but not the best. It came with lots of peas and I hate peas. Another disappointment but not a surprise was they don't offer hibachi mustard sauce. Like so many other places these days they offer yum yum sauce instead which we refused because, yuck yuck. They offered us some ice cream on the house (I think because the server knew I was very disappointed about the teriyaki sauce). It came to the table in little plastic cafeteria style cups with the pull back paper top. LOL. I'm glad it did though because the top listed the ingredients and let's just say, we immediately sent the ice cream back. All in all, not the greatest hibachi experience but also not the worst. I would maybe go back for drinks and try some other menu items ... and hold the teriyaki sauce!“

“Came for lunch with colleagues during work. We jumped in so fast couldn't take a pick. We were seated quickly and the serve was polite. She was the only one working so service was moderate but not bad. We all had ne of lunch specials. The sushi was fresh and tasty very filling. I would go again.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Love this place, the drinks are great, the fried oysters are to die for! And the rolls are pretty good as well, Staff is very friendlyParking: Decent sized parking lot but there are alot of other businesses in the strip so it depends on how busy everyone is and when you go“

“Ive selfishly waited way too long to write this review because I kind of don't want this place to get any busier but they deserve any and all accolades. Up until I found Kiku, I hated sushi. Never was very much into fish of any kind but I have been converted. The sushi here is incredible. So fresh you'd think the ocean was in their backyard. Everyone that works here is so friendly and welcoming. The waitress barely even needs to take my order as she always remembers the little things like how i eat way too much ginger and wasabi and always get extra dressing with my salad. I've tried numerous other Sushi restaurants since Kiku and not one so far can hold a candle to the freshness, friendliness and affordability of Kiku. I couldn't recommend a restaurant more.“

“Sakana is fantastic and never fails to deliver. We order takeout once a week if not more frequently and the sushi is always fresh and best of all it’s extremely consistent. Cindy is amazing and works hard to make sure orders are correct and made on time. This is our go to when we have guests and have only positive things to say about the food! I love that they have Japanese as well as Chinese, nothing like a few california rolls, some shrimp tempura, and some general Tao Chicken- always a hit!! Can’t recommend this family owned business enough!“

“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“

“I was in the area and found Naru ramen. It was a great experience right from the start. I was greeted pleasantly as I walked in. The restaurant is clean and bright with great smells from the kitchen. I ordered the spicy miso ramen and it was terrific. Rich, spicy broth and flavorful sliced pork. The noodles were great and I ate every last drop. I'm eager to come back and try more“

“This is, by far, is the best Japanese food in the area. I know people who drive from Lynbrook for the food. I'm grateful to have them right here in Baldwin. Whether you dine in or to go, the food is fresh and absolutely delicious. They have great specials and have added new items to the menu. We don't go anywhere else. Try it for yourself. I guarantee you'll love it. Enjoy!Vegetarian options: You can find them on the menu or they will help you.Kid-friendliness: Quaint dining room with 3 booths and 2 tables for two. Easy and comfortable atmosphere.“

“What a treat eating chicken katsu and sushi, all gluten free! The waitress was very kind and mentioned that almost everything on the menu could be made gluten free safely. The restaurant was a little small on the inside so I was glad we made reservations, hoping some day they'll make it easier to order gluten free take out online.“

“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!“

“This place is phenomenal. It’s Valentine’s Day (and Ash Wednesday) it’s swamped. I ordered take out and once I get home the bag split and my sushi went all over the floor. I was shattered at this point because I was moments away from have a perfect night with my partner. I called them and without hesitation they remade my order as quickly as possible. Thank you so much Liki for accommodating me on one of your busiest days of the year. This place has amazing food and great service. 10/10 recommend.“

“1. Run, don't walk to Osaka! 2. Order extra of the spicy kani salad 3. Order everything! It's OK, you can afford it, the prices are incredible. 4. Enjoy! Go about the rest of your trip... dream about spicy kani salad. 1. Come back 2. Find out their closed 3. Cry Go about the trip again! 1. Come back 2. Order 3 more spicy Kani as everyone in your group who wasn't here before freaks out about how amazing everything is... 3. Cry about going back to FL where there is no Spicy Kani Salad“

“We've been here so many times, and every time is wonderful! We love it so much that we went on Christmas day the past 3 years!This one chef automatically knows how we like our steak cooked, and that we like double yummy yummy sauce! 10/10 every time!“

“Poke bowl for the win!Build you own or select one of their signature bowls. I normally make my own and they never disappoint. The staff is polite and patient while I select from the options. Ths spot has lots of seating including high top tables for a cooler vibe. They also sell liquor which I have not tried. I have tried their bubble tea which is good.“

“Fast order pickup and great quality food. Never disappointed. Sushi prices and other food prices are great as well. I haven't had a single thing that I didn't like. I'll frequent this place weekly.Vegetarian options: Salads, sushi, soups, veggie plates“

“It was my first time going there and the staff was very nice and helpful. Everyone was very friendly and the lady making my bowl even offered different things she could add to make the bowl even better. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“I’ve been going here for over 20 years since I was a kid. It was the first time I had ever tried sushi and I haven’t found one place that beats their quality and service. It’s a hidden gem that more people need to know about. Godzilla and Kimmy are some of my favorites. Always a hard decision because everything is delicious.“

“Extremely tasty sushi and kind staff. They have fresh fish, with a lot of higher end cuts, and their sushi rice is delicious. Even just the classic rolls in the lunch special have unique options. The staff is very accommodating. Highly recommend.“

“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....“

“This place deserves all the stars. This was the sushi spot I needed!! I got takeout to give it a first try. I ordered the spicy tuna, tuna roll, and yellowtail jalapeño app. All were fantastic. Everything tasted fresh and absolutely perfect. Place looked busy Friday night. Looking forward to dining in next time.“

“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!“

“I have never dined in here, but the space is cozy and pleasant when I go to pick up food. I also haven’t done delivery, so can’t speak to that. I’ve been ordering from Mizuno since 2019 at least. Their sushi and food is consistently fresh and delicious. Picking up is fast and easy. The packaging for takeout is excellent and protects the integrity of the food and flavor. They are a hidden gem on Long Island. 100% recommend them to anyone.“

“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.“

“FAST FAST FAST delivery wowww…. Love how you can pay by card when the delivery driver arrives cause he has a machine u can tip on there too. Fresh delicious sushi my mouth is watering thinking about the tuna and salmon sushi I had. Tooo good. California roll so good, miso soup so good I get extra seaweed in mine they perfected my order. I just recently moved to RVC & i can assure that this will be my new spot from now on. Thank you wild ginger !“

“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!“

“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.“

“I'm an avid sushi lover and always like trying new places. This was my first time at MoCA. The ambience and decor were nice. I love the design of the seating area and bar. Booths were super spacious and comfortable. My husband and I ordered 2 appetizers (Mini Rolls and Indian Pancakes) and 2 specialty rolls (American Dream Roll and Baja Roll). Everything was delicious, just wish the rolls were a little bigger. Definitely on the smaller side compared to tons of other sushi restaurants I've been too. Honestly, we were still hungry after that. So order more than you think. We were going to order the Mille (Green Tea) Crêpe Cake but they ran out for the night. Looked really promising though. For cocktails I first ordered a margarita and I feel bad saying this but, it was one of the worst margaritas I've ever had and my husband agreed. It didn't taste anything like a margarita, and it was sour and just weird. However, the waitress was nice enough to switch out my drink and I ended up ordering a Jalapeño Mango Martini instead, which was delicious. Overall everything was good just wish the sushi had a bigger serving.“

“two days ago was the first time in this excellent restaurant. But It is surely not the last time. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the efficient service, with the high quality meal and wine and with the honest cost. We will no doubt visit there again.“

“Excellent all around. Gr8 prices, good portions, very fresh fish, artistic plate composition too. Small pet peeve was that they used tea bags and (American style) tea cups. I prefer when they have brewed green tea. Otherwise a perfect sushi experience. We will be back for more!“

“8 years after the first time I stepped in here; and if anything, the food has gotten better! Service is fantastic. Always so eager to help. You can always hear one of the servers explaining to a new customer, the difference in fish and their flavor/texture profile. It's a smaller place but cozy and not cramped. I prefer the sushi counter but anywhere is a good time since the food is out of this world.“
