“I love it!! And the place is clean“

“Came here to eat in New Year’s Day. Miso soup was so good. We ordered many hand yolks between two people. There was one tool I didn’t like too much I can’t remember the name now but all the rest were fresh and delicious.
They even gave us a cute ice cream dessert“

“Food was great, nice decor and soothing atmosphere. Very affordable. Had a great time with family.“

“Haikou is a great place! I got the crispy white meat sesame chicken with brown rice and it was very solid and came out nice and fresh. Next time I’ll try General Tso’s because everything looked good. Haikou definitely has my stamp of approval! I approve and recommend for sure.“

“Good sushi and sashimi. Good place“

“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!“

“I absolutely Love This Place. I come here every chance i get, i love the food and the chefs provide cool entertainment 💪🏻“

“We just ate there - what spectacular sushi. Everything was incredibly fresh, we had the table service which was quite filling, look forward to trying the counter service when we’re extra hungry. I love the straightforward style - top notch excellent sushi, fresh, no frills. Absolutely every piece was amazing, no “fillers” or off pieces. We like Miku for takeout but this is special for a date night, Greenwich truly is spoiled for top level sushi.“

“Great service, delish is food! Never disappoints.“

“absolutely delicious service was great .🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤“

“First time in this town, so I stopped by to try their noodles.
I highly recommend it! The chili oil really takes it to another level — the flavor is absolutely amazing.
Couldn’t wait to leave a review and tell everyone: this is a hidden gem of a restaurant!“

“The Umami Bomb is exactly that. the bomb (1990). So good back to pre-pandemic portions and tasty ingredients. Thank God you exist.“

“I almost forgot about this spot but remembered it from when I trained at the martial arts gym down the street. I saw the other reviews raved about the food and the impressive menu for such a little spot so I decided to stop in for lunch. Very delicious indeed and the fish was rather fresh and clean tasting. They offer a decently priced menu full of Japanese favorites including cooked dishes if you are not a sushi fan. I opted for a traditional tuna maki roll and a spicy tuna roll as apart of the lunch special. Both were so tasty I ended up ordering another roll to go and the crispy rice. I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and traditional decor, very bright and clean looking. Sometimes these restaurants these days can get a little too funky with the decor so they made a proper choice maintaining simplicity. I see they deliver so I will definitely be ordering again when I am not in the area.“

“I chose the sushi deluxe, and I guess it’s similar to an omakase style. They told me it would be 9 pieces with one roll, and honestly, all the selections were great. The fish was very fresh and high quality. I was also really impressed by their service.

My friend and I were deep in conversation and lost track of time, but they never rushed us to leave. I will definitely be coming back and will make a reservation next time (we were lucky to get seats with no wait just by walking in)!“

“Fogama provides seriously delicious Japanese dishes, that are expertly created from a vast and varied menu. Every dish was enjoyable and appreciated. Service was great when we first arrived, but then lacked on a very busy Friday evening. We will definitely return.“

“Great food. Bento box is my fiancé & my favorite. Once a week We order.“

“Great food abs great environment!!“

“Attentive friendly staff and delicious food. Amazing combination will definitely frequent while in Greenwich.“

“I don’t know about the rest of you all, but this is by far, the best Japanese Cuisine place in the Area. Some of the best items from their menu The Angry Dragon Sushi, The Shrimp tempura, and the Spicy Salmon rolls.

Also try the gyoza and the amazing Kani salad (regular or spicy)

Also the presentation is outstanding, and don’t forget to try their amazing Thai ice Tea which is homemade. 100% recommended. 🫶🏻

PS: ask for their Fried Oreo Dessert, you won’t regret it😊“

“Great food and ambiance! You must try it!!!“

“One of the best Ramen Bars I’ve ever been to. The flavors across the menu are unreal. The Spicy Miso Ramen w/ Pork Belly in particular was one of the best soup broths I’ve ever tasted. The service staff could not have been more friendly and courteous. The quaint setting and atmosphere lend themselves to almost feel like sitting at one big family style dinner table.“

“Best Sushi in Yonkers. All the rolls are absolutely fresh and decadent. The quesadillas are excellent as well. A fun mix of Sushi & Mexican. A must go to if ever in Yonkers. I even dare say it is the best sushi in the Bronx. They are located less than 1/3 of a mile from the Bronx border and they deliver to the surrounding neighborhood in the Bronx. The guy who took our order is very amicable. The sushi chef prepares the rolls right in front of you. It was a great experience.“

“Good food, very consistent quality and service“

“Had the Omakase Style yesterday. Was amazing. Highly recommend this place“

“I love to eat here and my favorite dish is Pork/chicken Katsu. Always fresh and crunchy,
They cook the best katsu/curry sauce. They cook daily and it is a rich sauce with veggies and meat. Family cooking style. Simple and delicious! Thank you !“

“Excellent! Everything is always amazing! Great friendly staff. I live down the street and they remember my preferences and are overly accommodating.“

“Sushi was wonderful and the staff was attentive and knew what to recommend.“

“Big portions, fresh food, and very nice service. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in. Everything came out quickly, and the sushi was fresh and delicious. Definitely a great spot if you want good quality food with generous portions. Will come back again!“

“It is clean, balanced portions of food, I had the combo shrimp & filet mignon steak, very good at reasonable $, I think it's ,the best combo! including miso soup & choice of ice cream,I had Pistachios with marischino cherries. overall great 👍 thumbs up!“

“Great food, wonderful drinks and a fabulous atmosphere✨️❤️“

“This is the place if you want authentic, high quality, Japanese food. The small dishes on the separate menu are really delightful.

Prices reflect food quality. Be prepared to pay for the best all around Japanese food in the area. I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

They run it like fine dining, not like a casual sushi bar. So they have strict rules around noise, noisy kids, and cell phones. Don't expect to bring your kid and set him up with an ipad with the volume on. Seems reasonable. No outside food, no exceptions. Seems reasonable.

The servers were polite, no issues in this department.

A real gem of a restaurant.“

“Great atmosphere friendly great food fresh very pleasant👌👍“

“We ordered a party platter, and it’s absolutely amazing.
The quality of the sushi and rolls is excellent—fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced.
It’s the perfect lunch for our family of four.
Both the kids and the adults were very happy with the meal.
I’ll definitely be ordering again soon. 🍣✨“

“The service has always been top notch. Attentative and informative staff has been the hallmark of this restaurant for all the years I've been eating here.

The food has always been excellent. Beautiful too the eye, and yummy to the taste buds. Specials are made with add much care as the regular menu items.
Special occasions are honored. And school class trips to Osaka leave the kids thrilled to go back with their families.
John, the owner, and his staff are a joy to be around. Training is clearly taken seriously. And the staff genuinely take pride in giving guests a really nice meal and experience.“

“I've been going here for years & the food is great & fairly priced. They have a great maki lunch meal with soup/salad & 3 rollls for a decent price. Their bento box is great! You gey to choose 2 meats plus a roll, shumai, rice & tempura veggies and soup & salad. Very good. Even better they a stamp card & you get stamps for every $25 you spend. Once card had has 10 stamps you get a $25 gift card to apply to your next visit. Honestly, lovely staff & calm environment. So glad its a neighborhood staple.“

“It’s a tradition in my family!! We always have the best time. It’s local and the people make it special. They were all awesome to my Granddaughter . I’m a customer and a fan.“

“First time trying Buddha takeout the crispy orange chicken was delicious had the perfect balance of tanginess and sweetness this will be my To go spot for takeout from now on! Edamame is just edamame but the moment I opened the lid for the crispy orange chicken the smell was so aromatic !“

“Tokyo Japanese restaurant not the largest place but the food far outdose any other local Japanese restaurant, , friendly service . Great prices. Not much more you can ask for.“

“My go to for Japanese Cuisine. They are the best, they are consistent, they are quick, they have amazing prices, and they are personable/friendly. Can’t ask for better!!! Everything is always fresh & even their combination plates are fresh and delicious. As long as I live in New Rochelle, they will be the ones to satisfy my taste for sushi!🩷 Thank you Kiku Family“

“If you’re looking for an honest experience at Abis Restaurant, I suggest getting the experience firsthand. I’ve been there myself, and my experience was completely real — in the best way.

From the moment you walk in, everyone is welcoming, attentive, and kind. You can tell they care about the guests, not just about “doing their job.” Service felt warm, not forced — the kind where you feel comfortable asking questions and taking your time.

The food is where Abis really shines. Every dish we had was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. You can taste the quality and the care in the preparation. The menu offers comfort and creativity at the same time, which isn’t easy to pull off. Nothing felt rushed or careless — it felt like food made by people who take pride in what they serve.

The hibachi experience is a highlight all on its own. The chef didn't just cook- he put on a full show. It was fun, interactive, and entertaining without taking away from the quality of the food. Watching the precision, energy, and skill on the grill while the flames go up adds such a great atmosphere to the meal. And the food coming off the grill? Perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and served hot and fresh.

Of course, Chef Angelo deserves recognition for the passion and leadership that clearly comes from the kitchen. But it’s also important to acknowledge the other hibachi chefs working that same day. Watching them cook for other tables, you could see the same level of talent, focus, and passion in their performances. It’s clear that the quality and showmanship at Abis isn’t just one person — it’s a team of skilled chefs who truly care about their craft.

And Jay, the owner, deserves recognition too. It’s rare to see an owner so present and involved. You can tell he truly values both his customers and his team, which says a lot about the heart behind this place.

Overall, Abi’s isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a place where hospitality, experience, and quality matter. I’ll definitely be coming back and would encourage others to experience it for themselves.“

“I have consistently ordered sushi from this place and it has never let me down. I live on McLean and I’ve tried so many other sushi spots, but nothing does it as good as TOMO. Honestly there’s no reason for me writing this review besides sitting in my living room thinking “there’s nothing better than this” and feeling like other people need to know too.“

“This place is CRIMINALLY underrated! The food tastes fresher than any of the other Chinese food places in the area, the staff are so friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere is rather cozy. Would highly recommend and will most definitely be returning.“

“One of the only places around that is Asian food with a nice atmosphere. The dumplings were especially delicious, and the salad and miso soup were especially good. Then the bento box is always fun. The only negative was that the teriyaki chicken could have a little more char on it.“

“Got off the train and grabbed lunch. Highly recommend Kiku Sushi. Excellent service, food and atmosphere. Reasonably pricing as well.“
