Despite the reputation airport sushi might have...I do continue to visit this place time and time again when in this terminal. Compared to its surrounding restaurants, this place is way easier to get a seat at and tends to have fairly quick service. The QR codes make it super easy to get your order in ASAP which helps. For those anti-QR code, you can always ask to waiter to take your order and pay with cash. Yesterday when I came in I got a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and a Monster Roll. The wine was great and not too $$ considering it's airport booze. I've gone for this roll several times and yesterday's was a bit fishier than it normally is, but still great. If you're in JFK this is a GREAT spot to get work done, get a full belly, and patiently await your boarding time somewhere besides your crowded gate. read more

Deep Blue Sushi - Monster Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jamaica, New York

I was staying overnight at the nearby TWA Hotel and needed a quick dinner before heading back to the hotel for rest. Walked across the foot bridge which easily connects T5 to my hotel, there are a few eateries in the terminal including a Food Hall, I seen other restaurants, none of them appeals to my cravings. Wasn't in the mood for salad bar, pizza or burgers either. Sitting at the bar is easiest to get in and get out quickly. Service can be either hit or miss and also not consistent in service, especially during the dinner rush hour may not be the best timing. However, this one night I have discovered that the Bar is hiding its best service. Waitress was friendly and efficient as customers waiting for seats or takeout orders. As busy as JFK is, never did I feel rushed. Upon arrival, I immediately noticed QR Codes on the counter for you to order from. Was a little sticker shocked at the prices on the menu, but what can I expect? It's NYC. All I ordered was gyoza and fried rice. Food came out in about 10 minutes or so. While I sat at the counter, I stared at the 3 TV screens avoiding the chaos of the airport. What really stood out to me was the liquor selection but was extremely tired to have had any type of alcohol with my dinner. Food was okay, but hot from the kitchen. Would I come here again? Probably not. read more

JFK is not a place I enjoy flying into, having layovers at, or even looking at actually, so when I had an hour to kill and a belly to fill, Deep Blue had the seats and the food for the job. This large sushi/asian kitchen is pretty spacious, has a ton of tables, and a staff that was super friendly and helpful. The menu here has a good amount of food (especually for an airport) and the chicken and pineapple fried rice was exactly what I was looking for before my flight. You sit down and scan a barcode here, order that way, and within ten minutes our food was brought to us and we were inhaling it quickly. My dish was a pretty big size for the $15.99 we paid and it honestly tasted really good (once again, especially for airport food). Overall, Deep Blue gets a big thumbs up for being fast, friendly, and the perfect meal to have before a flight overseas. I would definitely come back the next time I'm at JFK and hope this place sticks around for good. read more

Deep Blue Sushi - Pineapple Chicken fried rice. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jamaica, New York

Airport restaurant in JFK specializing in, as the name would imply, sushi. I ordered a dragon roll. Pros: - The roll was good. Everything tasted fresh. - Pretty fast service. - Staff was nice. - Cool aesthetic. Lots of seating options: bar, sushi station, or large tables and booths. Cons: - You have to order online by scanning a QR code or typing in the URL. Two reasons why I don't really like this: 1. There's a large print menu at the entrance to the restaurant, but there were none near my seat, and the online menu, while equipped with useful pictures, is less efficient to view than a print menu in my opinion, so best to decide or at least have an idea of what you want before you sit down. 2. Barely any interaction with servers feels very impersonal. The positive side to this is that it's way better than getting a bad or even so-so waiter, but to me it's a nicer experience to have a good waiter. Especially when they're prompting for a standard tip at payment. - Expensive for the regular-sized sushi rolls. Unsurprising but still worth a comment. - Super minor, but the wasabi was weird. It was almost blue and very spicy, like more than normal. Not offensive but just weird. Overall would recommend since the most important part of the experience, the food, was satisfactory. read more

Deep Blue Sushi - Dragon Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jamaica, New York

My husband and I had time to kill at the airport and decided to try Deep Blue since it had a cool enticing blue lighting and fake cherry blossom trees for a hip vibe. We were seated right away and the waitress was nice and accommodated my dietary needs since I am allergic to fish. The food was just okay. It's exactly what you would expect from an airport restaurant, but it was decent. I did end up getting a bit sick on my flight but it's the price I usually am willing to pay whenever I eat at a sushi restaurant because I love me some Japanese food. read more

Kind of a confusing place, the jetblue website says "Open 5:00am - 8:30pm. Enjoy sushi, pad thai and an inspiring menu of Asian fusion fare, as well as a full bar. (T5 Atrium)" and says nothing about a separate breakfast menu. I came here at 6am, set down all my things, and then scanned the QR code and didn't see any sushi? I was exhausted at this point so I just ordered. I got a smoked salmon bagel platter, eggs norwegian, and lemonade. The bagel was decent, nothing mind blowing, but I appreciated that they gave me lots of capers cause I love capers and the smoked salmon was really great quality! The flavor was great and the pieces were nice and thick. The eggs norweigian was the same way, star of the show was the salmon. The lemonade though, I would not reorder. It was really really sour, I added a BUNCH of salt and that made it a little better. The ambiance was interesting for breakfast. It definitely has the vibe of a cool club with moody blue lighting and lots of booths. But it was a nice reprieve from the loud gates outside. Anyways, the reason for 4 stars and not an average 3 is the service. The staff was so sweet and nice, a rare find at this airport. After 21 hours of international flights, I'm desperate to be home. Met with trouble and rudeness by multiple jetblue agents then by a TSA employee who implied I was dumb for putting my shoes on the belt not the table, who then yelled at me for not putting them on the belt, when that was what I did originally lol. And then she was super nice to the white dude behind me lol but whatever. Anyways, that's just to say, I had a rough night. 12 hour layover at probably one of the worst airports I've ever been too, so the servers here almost made me tear up tears of joy cause they smiled and said good morning to me. read more

Connecting at JFK terminal 5, we had some time for lunch and needed to get food for our next flight. This place looks like a good place to park a little while. We ordered using the QR code, the server came quickly and offered us water. We got some sushi to go and they came quickly, too. We had the lettuce wraps (3) and Shrimp Fried Rice, they were not the best, but ok for a quick lunch. read more

We stopped in a little place to eat something before jumping on the plane. Ambience casual. Even though it was quite annoying to have to order through the online app, our server was wonderful.

This was such a great place to get dinner at the airport. The atmosphere was very calming, and it made me feel like I wasn't even in the airport. The food portions were quite large, and my chicken fried rice could have been shared between two or 3 people. You order and pay on your phone but are also provided with very good table service. Overall, it was a great experience. read more

On the way to ATL from NY and decided to stop. This restaurant boasts an attractive bar and sushi bar! Plenty of table, seating, and servers were on staff to immediately take my order and the food arrive within 15 minutes fresh . A nice surprise but everything was wonderful- shrimp fried rice, with vegetables. The vegetables had a nice soft crunch, not too soggy, and my miso soup was well prepared. Not too salty. I do recommend this location, they have an extensive menu with plenty of options for vegetarian. The only thing this location was lacking is a charging port or a power strip so I can eat while my phone charge. read more

Deep Blue Asian Restaurant is inside Terminal 5. I have a morning flight so I ordered breakfast and coffee. I had the Eggs Norwegian, Blueberry Pancakes and a cup of coffee. The Eggs Norwegian was okay, but the breakfast potatoes that comes with it was too salty. The Blueberry Pancakes was just okay. The coffee that was served to me comes with a creamer and sugar on the side but no teaspoon to stir it so the service was so so. You sit yourself and you just scan the QR Code to place your order and pay for it. The server just served the coffee and food and checked on us a couple of times. There was a sushi bar in the middle of the dining area so you can smell the fish or the sauces from where we sat. read more

This is a beautiful restaurant in terminal 5 at JFK airport. That's the JetBlue lounge. IT's Japanese with sushi but they also have some Thai food. Food is reasonably priced for an airport. The serving was big. I had the pad Thai. I really liked the service. Staff was great! read more

We were in the airport with time to spare for an upcoming flight and wandered in because the ambience looked so appetizing and calm, we were hoping to have a meal that matched the peaceful nature of the restaurant. Service came quickly and was friendly and quick to check on our meal repeatedly. Although the menu is fairly limited, everything we had on the menu was solid. From the soup to the dumplings to the fried rice- nothing disappointed and we felt we received a fair meal for a fair price at the airport. read more

I won't make this breakfast mistake again. In all fairness, it seems that all of the restaurants offer the same breakfast, so it seems that it's the same kitchen. I ordered the: "Build Your Own Omelette Choice of three fillings, served with a biscuit and breakfast potatoes " The potatoes tasted as if they were cooked, frozen, then microwaved(with some prepped or possibly frozen chopped bell pepper (which was ordered as part as my omelette- I guess they missed) , as did the biscuit (awful)z They were room temperature (the restaurant wasn't busy- now I know why). The omelette was okay: okay enough to eat, but not to ever order again. $22 (because the 18% tip was pushed hard) wasted. Terrible. Note: I'd eaten here years ago l/pre-pandemic- and enjoyed the food was pretty good. No more- never eating here again. read more

If you are flying JetBlue out of JFK, this is high on the recommendations list. This is located proximal to the TSA checkpoint so you don't have far to walk. I was seated immediately after I walked in. My server was super knowledgeable about the menu and accommodations for allergies. The wine selection has a couple of options for whites, reds, blushes, and sakes. There are a few beer and seltzer options so everyone is covered. The sushi I ordered was delicious. I definitely recommend. read more

I had lunch here while waiting for my flight. The dragon roll and cheesecake is pretty good and considering this is an airport I think I've got value for money compared to eateries outside. The staff also asked me if I'm good so service is good. It also has its own space from the airport, which I can tune out the airport noice. All in all, a good experience. read more

It is so difficult to get healthy food at an airport. This place did not disappoint, as I was able to get some miso soup and sushi while waiting for a connecting flight. Miso soup was rather watery and tasteless, and though the sushi was pretty good everything was really expensive. I was served the miso soup with a plastic teaspoon? I asked for a soup spoon which they did not have. My husband's vegetable sushi was very small for the price of the roll. Our vegetable fried rice wasn't bad and we devoured everything. read more

The availability of somewhat healthy food options in Terminal 5 JFK is minimal. However, I found Deep Blue and it hit the spot. The service was efficient and the area was only lightly trafficked, which is great if you are in between flights. The tuna tartare was different from what I am used to but it was tasty and very good. Then I had the Asian Chicken Lettuce Wrap. It was so good. Three on the plate and I cleaned it up. Both dishes were from the appetizer menu & the check came to $34. A steal considering the prices on everything at the airport. It's truly outrageous. I bought a liter bottle of the cheaper water for the flight and it was $8. Anyway, I digress. So, the takeaway from Terminal 5, JFK is that healthy options are minuscule for food. Deep Blue has a good sushi menu despite the fact that I just had appetizers. Chicken Lettuce Wraps & Tuna Tartare would be my go to again!! read more

Horrible sushi but the Annie the waitress was really nice so I'm giving her 2 stars for her excellent service and personality. I ordered the sashimi salad with 4 types of fish (tuna, yellowtail, baby yellowtail and salmon) very thinly sliced and not as good as it should have been since they can easily fly fresh fish to JFK! The salad was mostly lettuce with some little pieces of cucumber and tomatoes. I'm still hungry $22 later. It smelled really fishy in the restaurant too which is not a good sig Came back on 9/21/19 and ordered the kampachi which is baby yellowtail accompanied by red apple, yuzu juice, pistachios, shishito peppers and green tea salt. The music is way too loud but at least I can charge my phones while having a snack. It was either really impressive or I was starving so I raise my rating to 4 stars. Now I want to order more and will since I get 20% off with my JetBlue credit card. read more

The bartender started off as rude and the mimosa was the worst mimosa I ever had. I mean.... "Can I get some champagne with that orange juice?" To be fair, she warmed up after the first hour.

This was a cool place to sit down and grab a bite at before boarding my flight. Nothing was remarkable and it was a bit over priced but alas, this is what happens with airport restaurants. c'est la vie ::shrug:: Although I doubt I'll eat here again, I do want to shoutout the service. For a bustling restaurant, I noticed that my servers were very attentive and kind. They were always there when I needed them and they were conscious of my boarding time. That's really crucial at an airport and I appreciate them for it. read more

I tried the fried pork dumplings. My first clue should have been when I asked a few of the staff if the fried dumplings were pan fired and all seemed clueless. I ordered the dumplings. They appeared deep fried, greasy and hard not crisp (pictured). If the cheapest hard liquor didn't start at $18, I would have bought a drink just to wash it down! I opted for an overpriced Pepsi. I usually head straight to the Priority Lounge (available on most good travel credit cards e.g., Amex Platinum, Chase Sapphire). Terminal 5 has none and is light on good alternatives. Pilots recommend taking the bus at gate 25 to Terminal A for Bobby Vans. The recommendation came too late for this trip. read more

The food options at JFK Terminal 5 are pretty miserable - so far this is the best one I've found. Remember, 3 stars means A-OK, and I would willingly eat here again (especially since I consider myself lucky not to have gotten food poisoning after my last encounter with an undercooked potsticker from the Asian restaurant in the food court). I was seated promptly and ordered shrimp pad thai since it was a hot dish and one of the cheaper menu items. A few minutes after I placed my order, I looked at my boarding pass and was horrified to realize that my flight boarded in 15 instead of 30 minutes. Flagged down my server to ask how long it would take to prepare my food, and of course she answered 10-15 minutes. When I explained my situation, she said she would check to see if my order could be done sooner. She had to walk all the way across the center area to check (apparently the hot kitchen for this restaurant is shared by the other sit-down restaurant across the way), but she didn't complain and came back to tell me they could have the food ready in 5 minutes. And then, even as she was taking care of other new customers, she actually remembered to go back in 5 minutes to pick up my food. Outstanding service! The pad thai actually tasted pretty decent as well - it was piping hot, the jumbo shrimp were fully cooked, and my only complaint was that it was a touch heavy on the fish sauce. Will definitely keep this place in mind as a viable option if I have enough time before my next flight. read more
