    Although it's not even a year since we first put Cinnabar on regular rotation, a lot has changed. First, if you're like me and avoid AYCE in general, don't be put off by the huge signs that now cover the entrance to the restaurant. They have a regular menu for those who are not looking to gorge themselves on sushi, fried fish and... "Cajun" seafood (that for some reason is pictured with snow crab? There's no such thing LOL). A lot of people won't trust a vegan's sushi review so I took photos of my husband's and father's sushi/sashimi platters because they are that beautiful. And they said the quality of the sushi is equal to the presentation. I loved my veggie rolls (my favorites are the AAC, avocado/cucumber and peanut avocado). Everything is fresh, the avo perfectly ripe. And they do the rolls right with sesame seeds (it drives me crazy when places skimp on the sesame seeds!) And we got to sit in the birdcages again. The last few times we were in the main dining room, but the birdcages in the bar are so unique (and it's more private/quiet/no TVs). The service is always excellent as well.

    This was my second visit and I really enjoyed my meal. their menu is a lot bigger than the last time I was there. We were seated promptly by our waitress Amy who was very helpful and tentative with making sure we were happy with our meals and refilling our beverages.I order the fried catfish as an appetizer and it was absolutely delicious cooked perfectly. Also got the Cajun seafood boil excellent choice everything had a perfect blend of spices with a lot of flavor. I noticed they have a large bar and a spacious dining area and I definitely will be returning.

    Cinnabar has quickly become my favorite spot. The summer lunch special price was unmatched so I probably came here 5 times in the last 6 weeks. You're always greeted warmly and seated promptly. The all-you-can-eat lunch special had a limited but well varied menu. The quality of the fish was always consistent and very good, enough that I felt comfortable with my young daughter eating it. My favorites on the menu include the salmon sushi, the Canada roll, the yellowtail scallion roll, and the spicy kani salad. There is something for everyone on the menu. The restaurant is also very beautiful inside. A perfect spot for casual lunch or date night. The drink menu is also extensive. Highly recommend Cinnabar for all your sushi favorites!

    Great food and service for all you can eat! Bill was our server and he was very attentive and kind. The food was fresh and delicious. Very nice ambiance with high ceilings and decor. They were nice and gave us booster seats for the kids. I liked the booster seats! I want one for myself! The music was fun. Looks like they keep it clean and you can see the cooks making the sushi.

    The sushi was fresh and the cooked kitchen items on the menu were cooked well though the miso soup was a little bland and the wonton soup didn't have any wontons. It's not a bad deal for an ayce spot just make sure to order smart to get your money's worth. The service was very good and the ambiance is def nice to bring a date, family or friends.

    First visit here , after living in Massapequa for five years. I always feel that the oil you can eat sushi places don't have the quality sushi of a regular sushi place. This was very good. I will say they also have hot food. The Gyoza and the butter noodles were delicious so is the sushi? I would definitely return here again when I'm super hungry and have the urge for sushi. Service was fast and polite roles came out fairly quickly. The hot food did as well.

    Highly recommend making reservations on the weekend! There were a few people waiting when we walked in but we were able to get seated right away. We opted for the hibachi and sushi ayce and the food was decent. The hibachi shrimp and the fried rice were the best items on the menu. The sweet chili wings were also good I'd give them a 7/10. The severs also move fast which is great since you have limited time at the table.

    I go often for the happy hour - it's always pretty empty - but the service is always good and they have a large appetizer selection for Happy Hour - it's decorated really pretty

    This is a great spot to get sushi. You can't beat the AYCE lunch special, it's unreal. The staff is kind and accommodating. The sushi is always beautifully presented. The chefs put a lot of care into the food presentation. Fan of this new spot!

    We stopped in for lunch and only got the ayce sushi option since we aren't big seafood boil people, which cost us about $55. The place looked cool, and the service was good. The food also came out quickly. Overall, the place is good. It's just lacking more options. We would go back if in the area but wouldn't go out of our way like we did this time around.

    This was a beautiful and fun afternoon at one of the two Sake AYCE establishments on Long Island…read more The great things: 1) A lovely and warm welcome with smiles from both servers. 2) Immediate seating. They did fill up in the next 45 minutes. 3) The same price all day. No jump for dinner. no separate or upgraded menu after 3:45 pm. 4) Regarding the food - Sake has one of the most extensive and well rounded menus for an all you can eat Sushi/Sashimi n Chinese restaurant. They have 27 appetizers, 8 lovely salads, ( the spicy Kani was a popular one ), 7 types of soups, 9 different teriyaki items, special rolls and some really good quality sashimi- I got the tuna, salmon and yellowtail. The fish, gorgeous - melt in the mouth, fresh, generous portions and the accompanying wasabi and ginger was very, very good. I love that the house salad came with plenty of sesame ginger dressing( photo); the miso soup was hot and delicious. I ordered the pink lady special roll and it was outstanding. Again, everyone probably heard me moan in Ohio. 9 different desserts including ice cream, Oreo cheesecake. They have the best shrimp teriyaki with 20 pieces of big and juicy prawns grilled to perfection with that aroma and a light but addicting sauce over it. 5) Loved the iPad to order which went right to the kitchen vs the paper handwritten do overs. 6) Loved the service - attentive, caring, very polite, alert! 7) Loved that they offered both a senior(65 plus) or a military with ID discount( both 10 percent). 8) Loved the free parking right outside the back door. 9) Loved the decor, the colors and the vibe with a very cute bar. 10) Loved the clean men's restroom. Very nice and peaceful. I will definitely be back.

We said to one another, they must have a new owner and after seeing the previous most recent review confirming that, I had to share our experience as well. The sushi was different, we order the same rolls every time and they were made with different ingredients this time (not as listed on the menu). The hot food was burned, and tasted bitter and not flavorful as it previously had. Portions were smaller. We also asked for a side of mango sauce for the sushi (some rolls have it drizzled on top), we get this every visit, and they told us NO, they do not give a side of sauce! Very disappointing transition to new ownership. We haven't been back since.

This place doesn't seem to be slammed all of the time, but don't let that fool you. The service is excellent, the fish is great and the timing of the food is wonderful. When we go, we usually get a hot green tea which is authentic, hot and tastes delicious. We usually also get a soda which is decently priced. The servers are always polite and friendly even at times where they have been super busy, but they seem to always be on their toes and welcoming, especially with recommendations. The menu is large, but its a great menu filled with wonderful items and not just items to fill a menu. The simple rolls are always fresh and on the larger side. Every time I go, I usually get the salmon avocado roll and some sort of "specialty roll". This time we got the Scorpion Roll. Inside- shrimp tempura, avocado & mango. Outside- kani salad. Top- shrimp, tobiko & chef special sauce. It was absolutely delicious and worth every penny. We also always recently have been getting the udon noodle soup, which was big enough for 2 to share, if you are getting other items. Nabeyaki Udon Stir fried noodles & vegetable Tempura shrimp, egg, chicken & with shrimp vegetable in soup. IT also comes with shrimp tempura on the side and we used that to dip in the soup and it was just absolutely delicious on a cold winter day. The Minami tuna was new to me and it was probably one of the simplest items on the menu, but one of the best. I highly recommend. It was tuna, avocado stacked with some sort of spicy mayo, with a crab salad on top. It was simple and wonderful. IF you are looking for a local sushi spot that doesn't miss, definitely check out Minami.

    Still the best Japanese in town after all these years…read more Shout out to Luke and Wendy for the excellent service. And tonight's dinner for four, we all enjoyed our various entrees. PS. The shrimp tempura is a best ever, and the bento boxes are delicious!
