So tasty fast service. You have to reserve on busy days. Awesome money saving lunch specials on weekdays. So fresh and delicious. The environment is artistic and peaceful I feel like I'm in Japan. Definitely recommend the sashimi salad bowl comes with white rice and miso soup. Chilean sea bass huge portion and worth the price in my pic I ate a part of it so it looks less but so delicious. Porridge they gave gratis was very comforting and flavorful. read more

This is our new favorite for Korean styled sushi/sashimi. There are a few places in the neighborhood, but I cannot believe I haven't tried Dongwon sooner. This place has a nice decor, and the best is when they sit you in the private rooms with sliding screen. We ordered the Tuna sashimi set for 4. The appetizers and side dishes were great! More variety and tastier compared to nearby competitors. The fish was fresh and well cut! They offered a few different cuts of the tuna which was very impressive. One thing is I wished they had done is explain which cut was which, because we had no idea what we were eating. All in all, worth a try! read more

Dongwon Sushi & Tuna - Tuna Sashimi Set for 4! Delicious and fresh, but what is what?? - Sushi Bars Near Me - Flushing, New York

We got this as a treat to celebrate my cousins new job, it is by no means cheap and it is definitely a splurge. We got one of the sets, but we were super disappointed with how small the servings were. The tuna also tasted like it had clearly been defrosted and previously frozen. Disappointing for the price that it was. read more

Some of the Tuna was slightly frozen when served. The quality was very good..if you love Tuna this is the place to go to!! read more

I was craving for sashimi so I decided to come here for to go. When I arrived I was greeted by a gentlemen . I told him I wanted sashimi . He gave me the menu from where they give to people to look at for the dine in and showed me where the sashimi was . I only saw sashimi sets that were for more than 2 people . I told him do you have for one person. He recommend me to order tuna from the heading "extra" . He said he could do a sashimi mix for me . I said ok. He asked me if I wanted side dishes and I asked does it come with it or is it extra. He said it comes with . After I finished ordering , he passed me a to go menu. I decided to take a look. Under the heading "set menu " they have sashimi set for 1 with side dishes . Lunch $50.95 and dinner $55.95. The one he recommend me from the the heading "extra" was $60. I asked him, why is this one cheaper ? He said the tuna one didn't come with side dish and he had given me the side dish for free. This makes no sense ! With side dishes it's cheaper and without it's more ? He said oh next time . Sorry , no next time . You just ripped me off and lost me as a customer . The right thing to do was refund me my money ! There are so many restaurants in flushing that offer sashimi and have better prices. I didn't even have time to argue with the guy or ask for manager cause I was late to my appointment . Management should hire people who know the menu better ! read more

Fish is frozen and not properly thawed when it arrives on your table. The fish isn't trimmed properly either - several chewy bits on the edges of the piece of tunas. read more

Dongwon Sushi & Tuna - Sushi Bars Near Me - Flushing, New York

When you come in to this restaurant, you will feel as if you teleported to Japan. The atmosphere and design layout of the place is simple yet elegant. This makes you want to relax and enjoy the great meal that you are about to feast on. My group ordered a set meal and I felt I was a royalty embarking on a 15 dish meal. I don't remember how many dishes there were but food just kept coming out non stop. The presentation of the food were really on point and emphasized the key ingredient of each dish. Some of the dishes tasted delicious with the right amount of seasoning while others tasted a little bolder and flavorful. The sashimi was okay but not the best I've had. Price wise is expensive. However, portion wise and the experience you can get here makes it all up. read more

Dongwon Sushi is a popular and expensive sushi chain in Korea. I was super excited when they opened in Flushing because I knew that even though the price might be expensive, the quality of sushi will be excellent. I came here for $35/person special lunch set and this place didn't let me down. $35 was more than well spent when they brought: 1) rice juk (congee/porridge) 2) fruit salad, salmon salad, tuna jorim (tuna, raffish, pepper casserole) 3) raw shrimp, oyster, sea squirt, sea cucumber, seaweed salad 4) shrimp & vegetable tempura, 5 different types of sashimi, 3 sushi, 1 spicy California roll, grilled sardine 5) tempura udon, fish roe rice in a hot stone pot Someone's review was about their sashimi not being fresh as they were slightly frozen, however, that's the proper way to serve certain parts of high quality tuna. Those fatty parts of tuna is best served slightly frozen with sesame oil with salt - I'm tasting heaven as they melt in my mouth like butter with amazing depth of flavor. I was initially debating whether I should take the advantage of NYC Restaurant Week ($29 for 3 course lunch) but even though Dongwon was more expensive, I'm so glad I decided to come to Dongwon. read more

This place is the best. I had the freshest seafood every time. I bring my entire family here and everyone loved their food. No complaints! Their side dishes are point and I can't get enough of their fresh sashimi!! Highly recommended! read more

Wow came here for the first time today because of a friends recommendation and it was super pretty in there. Very nice interior decoration and even have private rooms for 5 or 6 people groups. I'm usually quite skeptical about sushi or sashimi at Korean places... And normally go to Japanese places for it because normally it taste a bit off?? But this place was surprisingly pretty good. The sushi and sashimi tasted fresh and they have nice side dishes and lunch/dinner sets that comes with various things. I would definitely come back to try other things on the menu. Staffs were really friendly too! read more

Came in on a Friday night and was immediately checked for my vaccine card-make sure you have it saved on your phone as of fall 2021! We got the medium tuna combo for two people which was way too much food, as I nearly got full off of all the other side dishes even before the main course of tuna came out. I would go down to the small next time. I haven't had this amount of tuna with this amount of variety of cuts before so although I used to think I loved tuna it actually got a bit too oily and tiring to eat. If oily fish isn't your thing I would consider getting a mixed fish or white fish combo even though their specialty is tuna which they do very well. Service was excellent and never had a pause in dishes that kept coming out. It's a bit pricey overall but worth it. read more

I visited this place several times and always had great experience. Their sashimi and very fresh every single time, not like other places, they are consistent with the ingredients they use. Second, I'm not a big fan of tuna but I can actually enjoy them here. I hesitated to eat sashimi since I'm pregnant, but few pieces of sashimi did not harm my baby at all, nevertheless, my baby is very healthy and happy. I always make an appointment for dinner and especially during weekends. It gets pretty crowded quickly during those hours. And they also have few private rooms if you want some privacy like formal occasions. Moreover, their service is on point. All the staffs are very friendly and greeting. They also have buzzer so you do not have to yell out for your needs. Strongly recommend this place. read more

We came on weekday and there was a pretty good crowd. The place was lively, the decor was cool, the wait staff was super friendly and the food was good. We ordered a family tuna special, which came with lots of great sides. However, the reason for only 4 stars (really 3.5) was that the tuna was just "good" and for the price, it didn't meet my expectations. Also the tuna comes partially frozen which I wasn't a big fan of. Perhaps I had too high of expectations walking in to this place, so I may give it another try. But then again, maybe not. read more

Dongwon Sushi & Tuna - Family Tuna Special, ($230) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Flushing, New York

We were a party of 8 on a Sunday night. The reservation was for 7pm, but because a handful were early, they let us sit earlier. We sat in a booth that had 2 private doors we could close if we wanted to. In terms of parking, we found neighborhood parking a few blocks away. As you enter, it's a cozy spot and it's not super spacious in the restaurant, but it is pretty. We did a course menu and the waitress explained each dish very meticulously. And she always waited until we were ready for the next course. She was vibrant and friendly. As for the food itself, presentation was neat and the taste itself was yummy. I personally am not a huge seafood fan, but it was for someone who is a seafood fan so he loved it. Although I wasn't big on seafood, I have to say their quality did seem fresh and there were also some dishes that didn't have the obvious seafood odor. All in all, I do recommend this place. It isn't a casual eatery because it's a bit pricey, but it is good for celebration or if you just have a bigger wallet read more

People need to understand different style from Japanese sashimi and Korean style sashimi. You can't give bad rating because it's different and you didn't know how it tastes. All of their sashimi is amazing, Tuna, Fluke, they are all great. Plus, their kitchen dishes (seukkidasi) are also really good. Their service, interior, and cleaness are great. I can't point anything bad from this restaurant. Highly recommend if you want to try Korean sashimi. read more

I don't get why this place reeks of fish when other sushi places don't. The service is bad, the waiters are so curt and the food is not great given the prices. Just walk up a few blocks to Dokdoya read more

They raised their prices for 2018. Not that worth it anymore. I always get the sashimi special and after tax and tips, it used to be just a little more than $50 per person for 4 people and we are stuffed to our throat. I went recently and it became almost $70 per person, and perhaps we paced ourselves, but we ever got dessert somewhere else afterwards. I guess I won't be back too soon. read more

I tried the tuna sashimi combos and hwaedupbap here. The tuna sashimi doesn't seem too special as the tuna wasn't very flavorful. Hwaeduobap is decent but the hot sauce needs sesame oil. Make sure you add sesame oil and your hwaedupbap will taste several times better. My only concern with this restaurant was that the sushi chef wasn't wearing a mask during the heights of the pandemic. With the ban on indoor dining, maybe the chef thought no one would notice his maskless face. read more

200 bucks tuna sashimi set. Side dishes and soups probably worth 50 bucks, but tuna sashimi? I would only give 10 dollars to the design made dish. The taste? Not even worth one penny!!

We went tonight for dinner. We ordered the "Tuna Special", which is cost $220. It does come with other side dishes. I love to eat sashimi, but this place very disappointed me. They served us with the frozen tuna sashimi. I was like eat the "tendon" of the tuna, not the sashimi. Then side dishes are ok. They were having " construction" right next to our table, but without any protection. We had other free side dish, which is dust. Very disappointed read more

Came here with my family of 3 people on a Friday afternoon. We got the tuna lunch special and the small tuna sashimi platter. Ambience: 10/10 The place is nice, there are little "rooms" with sliding doors for more privacy if you'd like for groups of 4 and more. And regular tables as well. There's also a sushi bar. The decor is nice and cute yet casual. Service: 10/10 Service was really great. They were very attentive and refilled water quickly and received some complementary stuff which is nice. The sushi chef himself even came out and gave us a special cheek portion of the tuna, which was delicious. The place wasn't really busy so that definitely helped with us getting great service. Food: 8/10 The tuna special comes with some rolls, sushi, sashimi, tempura, udon, grilled fish, etc. this was good and great for the money. The tuna sashimi small platter had a good amount of sashimi. The three of us were very full after all the food. However, the tuna sashimi was too frozen. We were pretty disappointed with that part. It was so cold to eat at times. We were expecting nice fresh tuna that melts in your mouth. But there is a great variety of tuna which is nice. Other than that the rest of the food was delicious. read more

Came here with work friends and never have i been so grossed out with the quality of service and food.

No way! health department please !!!! read more

I have been here fairly regularly before covid. But today, I really got disappointed with the food and services. I brought a few of my friends to introduce to them this awesome restaurant with nice experience and awesome food. Terrible choice. TERRIBLE FOOD AND SERVICE BOTH. I ordered don katsu. Don katsu is fried food. But the katsu came out as dry as a desert. I thought it was a jerky. My food came out first. And since I was not going to eat some dried jerky, i asked for a manager. But the lady gave me an attitude and said her manager is not here and left without fixing this situation. Even then, my friends food did not show up. Had to wait forever for the food to arrive. And once my friends food arrived, server NEVER stopped by asking about the food or if we need and refills. Unexpected behavior as a server. I could not ask any server because they just look at you and then completely ignore you. But they are full of attitude and rudeness. I felt so bad that I brought my friends here. They said NEVER AGAIN. and I decided that I will no longer be promoting nor visiting here. I really don't write any kind of reviews but this place deserves a negative review for others to see before visiting!! I had to pay for my food that I didn't even touch. The least thing my server could've done was to resend my food. I left my dried like a jerky katsu for the kitchen to see. But im sure the server just threw it out. TERRIBLE FOOD. TERRIBLE SERVICE. SO DISAPPOINTED. read more

Dongwon Sushi & Tuna - Side dishes - Sushi Bars Near Me - Flushing, New York

NOT WORTH IT. You're essentially paying $100+ for a bunch of side dishes that are probably worth $20. Yes, the side dishes were overall good, but they gave us so much that by the time the actual sashimi came out, we were pretty full. Not that it would've mattered much, because as many other reviewers noted here, the tuna was FROZEN! So frozen that I could barely chew it and couldn't really taste it. The head chef gave us some BS about how Korean tuna is always served frozen and kept saying that I must not have had tuna in Korea (I told him I had...many times). So oh please, even if the tuna is actually frozen and not fresh, it should be thawed at least to a certain extent before serving it to customers! But maybe it was a blessing in disguise that we weren't able to eat most of the sashimi, because both my mom and I are feeling a bit sick right now as I'm writing this. Hoping we didn't get food poisoning... In summary, a very disappointing experience. Will not be coming here again! read more

i believe the sushi is frozen while it got served to our table. The sushi quality is just not really on par or what I expected. They were frozen so they hurt my teeth a little bit. I had to defrost the sushi and let it taste better. I am not sure why the omakase is still serving frozen sushi. However at the same time, this is a korean owned place, so it might be a specialized version of japanese sushi, and they made a frozen version instead. However I can't understand any korean, so I can't judge for sure. read more
