    Spicy tuna
    Patrick W.

    TLDR: Korean raw fish restaurant. If you're looking for hae/hwe, there's not too many options out there as it's kind of a niche concept but Dongwon is definitely good for groups. I'd stick with a set menu, although last time I had tuna - I think the mixed sashimi seems to be the way to go. Came with a group of four. This place is way bigger than it looks like on the outside. Overall the set menu was decent, sides were good enough but we got the bluefin tuna on our visit. My one issue is that most of the tuna is cold, borderline ice cold. This makes the fattier cuts of tuna, i.e. medium fatty, extra fatty, fatty collar basically tuna with solid blocks of fat. Personally between the temperature and the chewy fat chunks - I'd probably stick with a live fluke or flounder sashimi. Again, this may be a personal preference for me. The spicy soup was solid and I liked the hot rice with the roe. I'd try it again but would probably just get fluke. Very clean spot though and nice servers.

    My first Korean raw fish restaurant! The Bay Area in CA can never. Dongwon is definitely good for groups as there is a variety and large portions. My friend brought us here when we were visiting. We came with a group of four. Overall, the set menu was yummy. We chose the blue fin tuna set. We also ordered grilled eel. The set menu came with a generous selection of sides. My one issue is that most of the tuna was ice cold--almost frozen. After it defrosted a bit, the texture was way better. My favorite of the sides were: abalone, raw marinated shrimp, and soup!

    Food is always A1 here fresh flavor and never has that old fishy flavor or smell. If you are looking for a good drinking experience with good quality seafood come here. One of the best in flushing. Service is great lady was super nice They gave us some free extra sashimi and a Soju on the house Really good spot for company outings.

    Second course appetizers

    Perfect place for Father's Day if you are looking for a sushi RestaLiuurant. We ordered the combination sashimi 4 course meal for 5 people for less than $250. Huge appetizer course! Every single thing had its own distinct flavor apart from the others. As soon as you finish, the plates are cleared for you. Main course had a beautiful display of sashimi on rocks. Beware of the 4th course spicy stew - there are stray fish bones. The stew is traditionally like that. The meal is finished off with lychee juice. The entire interior of the restaurant is beautifully decorated. We were able to make a reservation a few days in advance from Fathers Day and we were able to book a side partitioned room - which can seat up to 6.

    2 different types of grilled mackerel fish lunch sets

    I've been here 4 times in the past 2 months and I love love love the food and service here! Especially the grilled fish lunch sets! The fish comes out nicely charred and it's the whole fish! Get the refund mackerel or the Korean mackerel "Sam-Chee" for an additional $2. Def worth it! Really buttery and flaky! The dinner sashimi sets are also delicious and fresh and it comes with so many side dishes! Def bring a group! I recommend this spot to anyone who loves fresh high quality fish that won't kill your wallet~

    Grilled mackerel lunch set

    Dongwon does it again!! This time, I order the grilled mackerel (pronounced Sam-Chi) lunch set. Hands down, this is the best grilled fish set served! The whole fish is cut into 3 parts. The meat on this fish is soooooo fulfilling! One bite, the fish melts! And the dwenjang Jjigae was superb! And all this for $27.95 (before tax)! Service is great! Can't wait to come back here for their summer specials!

    Feeling adventurous today and found this spot on google and Yelp with decent reviews but was kinda disappointed with our experience today. Mostly because it was pricey for what you get, not really worth it imo. I noticed the banchan from other tables were different than what we got (they had more items with corn, takoyaki and some other stuff that we didn't get), either because they ordered a different type or maybe because we didn't speak Korean. We got the sushi & sashimi combo for 3-4, each person got 13 pieces in my group of 4 and with some side dishes the price came out to be about $55 per person with tip and taxes. I wasn't too hungry today but if I was, the portion would be quite small. My group left all feeling a bit unsatisfied, usually with these meals the banchan would fill us up or the fish itself but this one was not that much food (lucky we weren't that hungry or I'd be so upset if I left still feeling hungry and needed a second meal after spending so much here already). I recommend coming here with Korean friends so you might get more items. Not a place I'd recommend to others from an average experience. I'd almost recommend other AYCE Korean BBQ spots in the area for the price you're paying or even just getting platters with more food that'll fill you up from sushi spots in the area. Staff was friendly and decor was nice but nothing special. Won't be coming back again.

    Go fresh almost once a week, Good service and good environment Tuna was airlifted from Korea and the wasabi was raw, not chemical synthesis So it goes well with the combination of sashimi Lunch special at noon Arguably the best sashimi restaurant in New York State want to give 10 stars

    Tuna platter (small)- other seafood
    Yerin Elisa K.

    This is my second time coming here on a special occasion for the Tuna platter and they sure don't disappoint! Last year I came here with my boyfriend and got the Tuna platter (medium) and it was way too much for 2 people, so this year we got the small and it was just enough before our stomachs exploded! If you get the Tuna platter, everything comes out little by little so there is no awkward pauses of eating and the service is really fast and good. The tuna itself is really FRESH and just melts in your mouth. With all the other sides that come out, you'll definitely leave full and very satisfied. FYI you can't bring home any food that's leftover because the quality of the tuna deteriorates, so you must finish everything in the restaurant! The small platter came out to be close to $200. I highly recommend coming here for a nice occasion to try their tuna platter!

    In overall the place is clean and organized. workers are attentive. I will go back to try different menu options

This was my first time at their Flushing location and this time, we ordered a la carte. You order on the iPad which has its pros & cons but overall was pretty simple. Their appetizers are well-priced and good portions at ~$6 each for the Edamame, Seaweed Salad, and Kani Salad. Their Seaweed Salad is delicious and is a must for me with sushi. The Kani Salad was also great but I'll probably try the spicy one next time for more flavor. The Yellowtail Jalapeño was fresh, bright, and slightly spicy. We got the Party Box which was perfect for sharing. Everything was beautifully presented, tremendously fresh, and full of flavor. My only complaint was that it wasn't served all together which I would've preferred and would've been a nicer presentation. The reason Akino is my favorite is their rice portion & fish quality! They don't try to overstuff you with carbs, their rolling technique is expert, and the fish is unbeatably fresh and good quality. All the rolls we got were delicious; I honestly can't pick a favorite and would get all 4 again. Amazing dinner!

It was three oysters, similar to Crown Shy except I wasn't a huge fan of the flavoring here. The nigiri sauce didn't really elevate the flavor of the oysters much as they're already a slightly salty food and a soy sauce sort of just added more salt to it. I think a bit more kick was needed to enhance the flavor profile. The handroll set was pretty good, I liked the spicy tuna the best, then the salmon and then the yellowtail the least. In order, I'd probably give the spicy tuna a 9/10, salmon 8/10 and yellowtail 7/10. However, the tiramisu was fantastic, one of the best tiramisus I have had, creamy, good notes of coffee flavor and wasn't overly sweet. Our server was also very friendly, she showed us how to properly eat the handrolls which was nice. The place also has a nice vibe to it, very relaxing and not too loud or overly grand.

    An Unforgettable Omakase Experience!…read more We celebrated the 4th of July with an incredible omakase dinner at Masaki, and it exceeded every expectation. Every course was beautifully presented, impeccably fresh, and perfectly balanced. From the delicate Red Sea Bream and buttery Scallop to the luxurious Toro with Caviar, Sweet Shrimp with Uni, and the unforgettable Eel with Foie Gras, each bite was a masterpiece. What truly elevated the evening was Michael, our sushi chef. He was warm, engaging, and exceptionally knowledgeable. He took the time to explain every course, the origin of the fish, the flavors, and the best way to enjoy each piece. His passion for his craft was evident, and his attention to detail made the entire experience feel personal and memorable. Dining at the sushi bar gave us a front-row seat to watch the artistry behind every piece. The quality of the ingredients, the precision of the preparation, and the genuine hospitality made this one of the finest omakase experiences we've ever had. Thank you, Michael, and the entire Masaki team, for making our holiday celebration so special. We can't wait to return for another unforgettable evening!

    What a sexy spot! My friend and I did a last minute girl's night for our joint birthday and we had…read moresuch a blast. I honestly wasn't expecting much but the service based solely for the Omakase blew me away. The Omakase bar was in the back of the restaurant hidden away. The space was very open and the ambience was chic. This is a great place for date night, mommy night out, or group hangouts as they have private rooms too. Every piece tasted very fresh and were quite unique. The steam silky egg appetizer with crabmeat and fish roe was simple yet delicious. One of the dishes was an uni toro roll that was placed on top of our hands and was sprayed with edible gold glitter on us. That was a surprise and it was cute. And that uni just melts in your mouth. We had this matcha pudding with I think had an Oreo sprinkle in it was fabulous. They also surprised us with an extra dessert cause it was all 3 of our birthdays. Very enjoyable experience. Our sushi chef was very accommodating and made our birthday dinner memorable. We originally started out with the summer special of $78pp for a 12 course meal and decided to upgrade to the 14 course meal for $98pp. There was an option for a 17 course meal for $138pp but we were very full towards the end. They also had this $30 lunch and $60 dinner 3 course meal set for restaurant week. My friend's mom wasn't a fan of raw stuff so she ordered the Chilean sea bass with risotto and she wasn't a huge fan of it. The fish was a tad overcooked and the overall presentation of the dish looked more of a Chinese fusion dish. The risotto had that cheesy flavor but the presentation with the Bok Choy and the risotto looked more like fried rice and was confusing. I would stick with the omakase, which this place is known for.
