Small location with amazing flavor. The bento box is highly recommend specially the beef teriyaki.

This really is the quintessential 3.5 star review. I have ordered here a few times and I have never really been blown away, but I also never have really been disappointed either. For the nigiri pieces, the amount of fish they give is not bad, but unfortunately the amount of rice they give you is a lot though and the rice could use a bit of work. Also, the price on the menu doesn't reflex the current price, everything on the menu is a few bucks more expensive. The food: Shrimp Tempura Roll- This was a solid roll, it was nice and fat, the shrimp tempura was nicely fried and the roll was made well. I would get this again. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=T-Zrj4WzK04rWQOQVr-4QA&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Sushi Regular- 8 pieces of sushi & tuna or California roll. So all the seafood has been pretty good but the only thing I really am not a fan of is their tuna, the taste, look, and color is all bad. Also, I don't normally make a comment about the California roll, the one here is surprisingly good. For fish, my fav fish here are the salmon and yellowtail. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=oU_Ol4ISisOh7fbMFcHZVg&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Spicy Combo- Spicy California, salmon & tuna roll. This is actually the only item I didn't care for besides their tuna. I normally love spicy rolls but the spicy rolls here are just so so. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=xGAmABK1-BMXl5TWsy34Kw&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Sushi Party B- East roll, tuna roll, salmon roll & California roll, 2 tuna sushi, 2 eel sushi, 2 salmon sushi, 2 red snapper sushi, 2 yellowtail sushi, 2 crab stick sushi and 2 tobiko sushi. A good platter, it's easily enough for three people. The east roll, salmon roll, California roll, eel sushi, salmon sushi and yellowtail sushi were my fav things on this platter. Sushi Party C- Tuna roll, salmon roll, eel roll, California roll, 4 yellowtail sushi, 4 tuna sushi, 4 salmon sushi, 4 crab stick sushi, 4 eel sushi and 4 tobiko sushi. This platter is for 4 people and is very similar to the one above but the missing east roll makes a difference. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=LKsmTu-9MwGKA5DGXeWNsw&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA read more

This is literally my go to sushi spot in the area. I've been getting food here to-go since 2020. The amount of times I've gotten the three roll lunch special and had it fresh, flavorful, with my order correct every time, is countless. I sometimes get the party platters for holidays and my partner will get their lunch special but trust me, no matter what you get, will be bomb. Also, the amount of food you get is hugeeee (when you order something non-sushi). However, when you do get sushi, the fish to rice ratio is sooo good. The amount of fish you get makes it so worth it. read more

I've ordered takeout from this Chinese-owned sushi restaurant a couple of times. They offer a mix of sushi, Japanese dishes, and classic Chinese takeout options. The food is decent, and the prices are reasonable, but it's nothing extraordinary. I'd suggest keeping your expectations moderate. read more

Where to start... i've been coming here for the last couple of years.. this place has been around for a long time. My go-to sushi place in jackson heights. just call ahead for your order, it takes a little while. small family owned business.. very small spot inside. no seating at all. big menu so it's a lot of delicious things to look at, take your time lol read more

Solid spot for takeout sushi in the neighborhood and at a great price point! Note that they only offer pickup/delivery (no dine in) and if you order in person they only accept cash. The salmon combo was delicious and great quality for what you pay. Lunch specials also look enticing I will be back to check out another time! read more

The nigiri sushi and rolls here are excellent. After our favorite delivery sushi place closed we've been looking for a replacement and have suffered through a bunch of mediocre places. The biggest issue is bland and/or undercooked sushi rice. I'm happy to say East 21 has excellent sushi rice using enough rice vinegar and salt -- and on top of that (literally) their fish is fresh and delicious. I love that they use raw salmon instead of smoked in their Philadelphia roll. Their yellowtail, tuna, spicy rolls and eel are all excellent. The unagi is really generous portions. And they have some good combo roll specials. It's better and cheaper than some of the other nearby options. read more

This is the ABSOLUTE BEST sushi in NYC (or dare I say, in the world). So I'm honestly surprised it only has a 3.7 rating- it deserves all 5 stars. My sister and I are loyal fans and get the 3 rolls/$9.75 lunch special nearly every week. The quality of sushi here trumps all the upscale ones in Manhattan even and I can't stress enough how delicious every single sushi here is. You can't go wrong with a classic salmon roll. Their portions of fish are soo generous - you won't be disappointed. read more

Great food for a fast food Chinese takeaway, I ordered from here all the time. Sushi is good too. I always get bento box and it's amazing.

I ordered from here for the first time, delivery was on time, Perfecto. From all the items, my favorite was General Tso's Chicken, was delicious. My 3 yr old son loved Chicken Lo Mein. Rest items I ordered was Spicy Combo, friend Chicken wings and Chicken with Broccoli. Thank you! read more

I put in a simple order, it arrived quickly, food was tasty, no complaints. The volcano roll was great just not my sushi style and the avocado salad was pretty. But what really got me writing this review is the value. The food was definitely affordable compared to other places that offer sushi. This place is great for afternoon lunch. read more

This place has always been great yet unassuming. Reminds me of the loyal, losery friends who you didn't really want to be seen with but they always came back to you. Actually, it's more like the player who can do everything well. They are like the 5-tool player of Chinese take-out. They have crappy Chinese, good chinese, Japanese sushi and bento boxes, Thai food, and more. The menu goes on and on in so many ways. Their sushi is has great rice and the temperature is just right. If this in a restaurant, it would be much higher rated and appreciation. Like if Happy Kitchen has this food, it would be awesome. read more

This is my go to place for sushi & hand rolls. They have a lot of business so their food supply don't stay in the kitchen long so everything is fresh. Lunch special is choice of three rolls for $10 which includes salad or soup with our order. Their large platters are big groups are very popular. They also have a Chinese food menu but I have never tried it. There only have a couple of tables for eat in. Decor? Nothing to look at. Parking- I often find metered parking on Roosevelt Ave right in front of the store. read more

I would honestly give this place a easy 5 stars if it wasn't for the delivery man. The food here is always good and I have no problem. Never did. I have been eating here for years and years. The delivery man never listens to instructions and he is rude over the phone. Sure there might be a bit a language barrier but I've encountered Chinese speaking language barrier delivery people many times so I know that isn't the excuse for his behavior. He will keep hanging up the phone and if you keep calling he will leave you ignored while still on the line. He doesn't listen. Food is good, delivery man not so much. read more

I often get deliveries from here and they have been decently consistent for awhile. Prices are a little high for the sushi roll portions, everything else is rather fair. The past few deliveries have included mistakes that is leaving me to not order from here again. There have inexcusable things in my food every so often. This time it was multiple pieces (some very small) of a plastic wrapper... Not even sure if I ate any to be honest. read more

Pretty good sushi for the price. Their chicken with broccoli is delicious. I order and pick up only.

You don't understand the withdrawals I have for this place now ever since I moved to Astoria. Their Maki combo was my go-to for years whenever a sushi craving hit and the yummy Chinese food got me through some serious hangovers. I will miss you old friend. read more

I very love you food but I don't like the Delivery guy I don't like food delivery service It's awful and rude on the phone line. He said that he was busy having to deliver food and He asked me "you didn't want any food to eat!!" Wow, I can't believe it. Feel very bad read more

Been eating here since mid 2000s and the quality has never changed. Delivery/Takeout is always on time - or even earlier. The sushi is the best you'll get from a takeout spot in all over NYC (specially their spicy combo and yankee/met rolls) and their chicken teriyaki dinner boxes + chicken katsu curry are *chefs kiss.* Its a small business and they are very hardworking, so definitely go and support! read more

East 21 has quality sushi. They are open for take out and have an extremely affordable lunch special. The fish is good quality for its price point. The chopsticks feel cheap and the wood is blistered. They restaurant also has Chinese food on its menu. I have not had it but I will be ordering from the soon enough to try it! read more

Solid "deliver/takeout" level, in your PJs, budget sushi. So if you get stuff that's hard to mess up, it'll be pretty good. Like the kani salad rolls (California roll version) i really like. The kani salad on top is spicy btw, catch wypipo by surprise heh. I also liked their Fabulous Roll and their futomaki. The futomaki has egg, cucumber, takuan, avocado, and fake crab--I don't know why there's no kampyo in it!!! That's what makes futomaki so good!!! I forgive tho, and I still get it each time bc it's like a mild, lowkey comfort food for me. Their shrimp lo mein is so good, my fave lo mein around here!!! Greasy as heck sometimes tho...but the shrimp is so juicy. The wonton eggdrop soup is also standard and good. The chicken salad is worth your buck, it's a whole slice of chicken with teriyaki sauce (meh about the sauce) on it, over a bed of ice burg lettuce and some grape tomatoes, comes with house dressing on the side. Some drawbacks: I don't like their tuna in their sushi, it tastes frozen so I avoid it. Their salmon skin is also very fried and mostly burnt. But Im super particular about salmon skin and eat it at every sushi place I go to, so don't mind me. The crab rangoons are mostly hard fried wonton skin, not much insides. Cold sesame noodles are bland and sad. I don't recommend those. But overall, I come back to order sushi here. If you get some staple faves going, it's awesome and a great local spot to Grubhub from. read more

Food and delivery is good. Food gets delivered faster then the estimated time. Once the food was late and the place called to apologize for it got the food a little while after. I always order from here never a disappointment. read more

I must preface by saying that I've ordered only once from this restaurant and never eaten in. The delivery was fairly quick, even though I live some distance away. I ordered a sushi roll, which was good, and I would order sushi from them again. I also ordered some standard Chinese items (spareribs, General Tso's, broccoli in garlic sauce), and they were really not good. The ribs were OK, though saucy. In the other items there was very little taste, and the chicken was dry. I hesitate to order Chinese again. read more

Today was my first time ordering and eating from East 21. I must say, extremely fast service - I live 10 blocks from the restaurant and I recieved my order in 10 minutes. I ordered a sweet potato roll and a chicken avocado salad. I will give the roll 5 stars but only 3 stars for the salad. I definitely got my Asian food fix and I'll order again. read more

Decided to try something closer than my regular go to sushi spot, Kumo. East 21 definitely provides an assortment of sushi & sashimi along with other Asian delicacies. As my starter I began with their rock shrimp. Ever since I went to Ginza Japanese Restaurant in midtown, I've been addicted to rock shrimp. East 21 provides a different variation of the rock shrimp than I'm used to. Rather than having the sauce marinated and cooked onto the shrimp, they keep it as a dipping sauce with fried shrimp. It was honestly mediocre for my taste. As for my entree I went with the tuna Naruto roll and the Philadelphia roll. I have no problem with the Philly roll except the size of the sushi. Probably the tiniest sushi I have seen but definitely a great taste. The Naruto roll was a delight. A sushi made of cucumber rather than rice. Truly was amazing! I think they can re-adjust their prices on some of the items but overall you're basically paying to eat good sushi. If you're looking for fast delivery service then this is your spot! read more

Terrible, me and my fiancé just order a platter. When we go to open it they're tiny little flies moving all over everything. Never again and I will be taking this to court! read more

I ordered Salmon teriyaki deluxe platter and it was good. Another thing i ordered shrimp with lobster combination and specifically requested with no onions on the fried rice and i saw onions which disappointed me so much. I also used to love their sesame chicken nuggets but when i received the order some where cooked and some where half cook which its hard to be eaten. I hope you will improve the quality of how you cooked your chicken and don't give half cook chicken to your customers. read more
