    The food was good!! I enjoyed sitting out on the outside porch with my friend. You can see the water and some boats. I really enjoyed the main sushi, the first one shown. It was a rock roll sushi. The pad Thai was wonderful tasting too. As well as the chocolate cake.

    Mango salsa
    Bibi D.

    I've been getting my sushi from here since they opened a few years, and everything is fine. The only gripe i have is if I have to pay extra for mango salsa it should be filled up to the rim. Please do better to fill the mango salsa to the rim. I don't stiff you on your money when I order my food . Thanks

    Chicken and Hibachi Ribeye Steak combo
    Ryan W.

    Decent spot next to the water. Personally, I think it's one of the better tasting hibachis around Howard Beach. Nothing to write home about. Decent sushi menu. However, just your typical dining out. King Kong roll is a must try. Service was good.

    4 stars- I came here on the recommendation of a friend who lives in Howard Beach and comes here regularly. We were looking for a sushi and I didn't want to wait until I got back to Bay Ridge on the way home from a trip out to Long Island. This a large space, a little dated looking, a large bar area with a great selection of Saki, beer, and liquors. The menu is one of the most extensive menus I've seen with the usual hot and cold appetizers, sashimi, sushi, entrees, Hibachi Dinners, deserts, etc. Prices are fair, service was what I call efficient and good. The server was nice although not super conversational. They are located right on the canal so you can get a nice view of the boats, docks and waterfront houses. They get pretty busy and are well established. One tip is to try and wait to order your entrees until you e had your appetizers. The food comes out fast although they don't rush you. We started with a bowl of Edemame and vegetable spring rolls. We had the Day Dream Roll which had with rock shrimps & guacamole inside and topped with fresh lobster, shrimp and crab meat in spicy mayo, mango & eel sauce. The Sesame Crusted Tuna roll-spicy tuna & avocado topped seared sesame tuna, served w. sesame saikgo sauce. We also had the Dynamite Roll-spicy crunchy tuna inside with spicy kani & crunch on top. For desert we had the Warm Chocolate Cake with vanilla ice cream. Overall a good experience and I would recommend them. Very good value for the money.

    I like the location because it's next to the water, so I definitely will come back for sushi rolls. The parking lot is super small and the restaurant is on a major road so I would recommend carpooling or Uber. My co worker got an expresso martini and she hated it . It was giving coffee. I got a strawberry Marg and it looked sooooooo red( a lot of purée). I was thinking it was going to be bad but it was okay. Hibachi is mid here. You know how hibachi be good the next day? Yeah , no not this lol. It was the same. but this spicy sauce that came with the angel was so good . Snow White roll was super good as Well. And I had my first raw roll and babyyy it was goood af! Another co worker got egg plant and she enjoyed it .

    Sushi, Chicken Teriyaki
    Cristal U.

    The service was not good. Waitress was rude, not attentive and rather distracted. The food was not good. Ordered chicken teriyaki and chicken was undercooked, sushi did not taste fresh. I guess I'll give the 1 star for plating.

    Egg fried rice

    The staff is very nice and the service is pretty quick. I just wish they spaced it out a bit so we would have time to digest. We ordered multiple choices that I can't tell you them all. Just know that everything was fresh especially their sushi.

    Seafood Noodle Soup
    Shajib H.

    The experience at frenasia was a love hate experience. Something went very well and others not so much. I came to frenasia with a big group around 6pm and we were seated immediately. The seating was adequate and we really liked that they were able to accommodate us despite the timing. Food: We started with three orders of the tempura appetizers, they came with two shrimps and some tempura veggies in each order. It was good but not much to really write about. Two of us ordered the noodle soups, one was a beef boodle soup with pad thai noodles, and the other a seafood udon soup. Both soups were delicious, i especially loved the calamari in the seafood noodle soup, i was skeptical because of the thick size of the calamari but it turned out really well. If the dinner experience only consisted of these noodle dishes i would probably give this a 4 or 5. We ordered three hibachi dishes mainly chicken and steak but they weren't much to write about. They were good but didn't leave much of an impression. Ill keep it simple and blunt and say it was ok. The same can be said about the pad Thai that my brother ordered. The final dish is where the problems began. My brother in law ordered a rib eye steak combo and asked for it to be done medium rare. The outer cuts of the steak were closer to medium well but he thought it would get better as he gets closer to the center. Unfortunately the center was dry medium at best and he could not eat it. We alerted the staff and they were VERY NICE about it. They replaced his steak and everyone waited until he cut in to the center of the new one to make sure he approved. Even though it was closer to a rare he still approved because of how nice they were. I would like to give this place a high 3 or a 4 but besides the issue with the steak we also had issues with orders being forgotten and timing of when we received the dishes. We had to remind them that they forgot 1 of the 3 plates of appetizers and the miso soup that came with one of the orders. I would like to give them a 3.3 or 3.4 for their efforts but a 3 is the closest.

Couldn't decide so we ordered a few apps (KFC chicken, edamame and scallion pancake) all of which were delicious. Decided to get bao buns and fried rice. Note: ordered chicken and shrimp but should have specified we wanted one dish with both meats - instead we got 2 bowls - which just means more for lunch tomorrow! Staff stayed calm when the lights flickered a few times and just said "hopefully the chefs are almost done with your meals because we don't have a generator"). Had to dodge a few broken trees on 94 on the way home but all in all a great meal! Also it's BYOB but really didn't miss the wine - Yuzu ade was refreshing on this 90+ degree day.

I don't know why I was surprised to discover this was in a strip mall, but that's on me. A nice one, at least. The place was relatively busy but we were able to secure a table easily with zero wait time. Pleasant vibes inside. I don't mean this as an insult at all but I was expecting more ethnic decor in line with the restaurant's menu - instead, it's pretty Americanized and feels like a classic suburban NJ establishment. I liked the painted brick on the lefthand side that has Blue Spice's logo/sign on it; spiffy. The bathroom was also a high point, which is...not something I say often. It was very clean and smelled nice, and I liked the dark cruise-ship lighting vibe. We decided to split the scallion pancake app, which was an excellent decision. I work in the city and regularly have this item from a place in Chinatown, and I honestly thought this was better, mostly because it was thicker/denser than what I'm used to. Super tasty and would get that again in a heartbeat. Giant portion as well - we split the pancake, which was roughly the size of a small pizza. My chum had leftovers there, I did not; so it goes with us. I've had a few mediocre chicken katsu experiences of late, so this seemed like a chance for redemption. I ordered the Akiko Curry entree, which was their spin on chicken katsu curry. Honestly wasn't my favorite. Again, a HUGE portion here and was only able to finish about 60% of it despite having a pretty legit appetite coming in. And the presentation value is excellent as well, as far as that goes. This could easily just be a personal palate preference, but I wasn't crazy about the curry itself (which had a weird tang to it) and didn't resemble the standard curry I'm used to with this dish. Also, as you can see from the attached, the curry is basically on the side of the dish, separated from the chicken and rice. Because of that, the chicken is on the dry side, which is my primary beef (pun?) with the item to begin with. So a miss for me, but I could see why other people would like this (and apparently do). The service was excellent, full stop. Our waitress was very nice and personable; she had strong command of the menu and you could see her consistently engaging with other patrons throughout our meal as well. She took several group photos so this is apparently a Kingdom of Sussex hot spot for that, which I wouldn't have guessed. She was so good both of us remarked on it multiple times during the meal, which is a rarity. But a great example of hospitality markedly improving an experience and making what was already an overall positive situation that much better. Huge marks there. Would definitely come back but would explore other parts of the menu once I feasted on the scallion pancake.

The pad thai noodles are a big thinner than i've had before but that didn't bother me, it has such great flavor too.

The drunken noodles are not spicy in my opinion but i can handle a bit of heat.

The restaurant definitely has a cool vibe and is very clean. Our server, Ivo, was amazing from the start; prompt and friendly service. For starters we shared the oxtail spring rolls, spare ribs, and lobster spoons. Joe said it best when he said "I don't want any other oxtail. The spring rolls were tender and flavorful and I loved the dipping sauce they came with. Those ribs?! *chefs kiss* we must have made a scene while eating them because as another table was leaving, they stopped to ask us how the ribs were and the regret they had after seeing them arrive at our table. Now, those lobster spoons?? Mm mm MM! The beurre blanc the lobster sat in was buttery and super tasty, but that wasn't even the best lobster dish I ended up having. My our entrees I got the Sei Less Signature Lobster Noodles and Joe got the Filet Mignon and Broccoli. Good lord those noodles were delicious. They used thick udon, the WHOLE lobster, and the sauce that everything sat in was so rich. I also couldn't get over how beautiful this dish was. Joe's filet was exactly what you'd expect; tender and full of flavor. This is what you wish they could serve when you order beef and broccoli at your local Chinese spot lol! & you know we always have to end with a little treat. We kept it modest and went with the yuzu cheesecake served with a lychee ice cream. The lychee ice cream was such a nice mild balance to the richness of the cheesecake. There was also a yummy brittle served with the dessert that gave a nice bite to the whole dish. Simple delicious. I know this will not be our last visit. It is 6 am the next morning as I write this, and all I can think about is getting to my leftovers later today!
