Do not judge this book by its cover. The vibe is laid back and great and the service was very on point. Multiple people came and checked on us the whole time and we didn't have to wait long at all for food. It was moderately busy, but still a good flow in service. I would recommend this place to anyone whether you eat sushi or not the menu is more than sufficient to fulfill needs read more

Frenasia - Outside seating - Asian Fusion Near Me - Howard Beach, New York

I came here this evening with my friend to catch up over dinner. The place is well decorated and spacious. The front area of the restaurant has hibachi stations and towards the back of the restaurant are several tables and booths. Our waiter was very nice and attentive and service was excellent. I ordered the Spicy Crunchy Scallop Roll as an appetizer and it was good. For my entrée, I had the Happy Family Wok which contained lobster, shrimp, beef, and chicken with steamed vegetables in a special sauce. I must say it was so tasty! My friend had the Rib Eye Steak and she loved it. The menu is very extensive. There's a wide variety of food to choose from. I didn't have any alcoholic drinks, so I can't really comment on that. I see myself coming back to this restaurant to try another dish and recommend anyone to give it a try. read more

Ordered the rib eye here and it was so good!! It was delicate when bitten. The place is nice especially in the patio by the water. The staffs are very friendly and helpful. Love the service and my visit was perfect. read more

Nice view, wonderful food, and thoughtful staff. My only recommendation is that they fix up the place a bit. Their furniture is shabby and outdated. The outside area could be better. I'd remove the wood hindering the ocean view and use something more modern. They also have parking available which makes it that much more convenient. read more

The place is clean and has an upscale feel. The staff is polite and pleasant. The food is good. We got a Kani salad, dragon ball filled with spicy tuna, veggie pad Thai and a special roll with shrimp tempura & Mango that I cannot remember the name of. I just wanted a roll with mango. That was the only one. It was good. The veggie Pad Thai was just okay. It was really saucy but had a weird taste and the veggies were soggy. The appetizers were a very nice portion. Each Definitely could've been shared by two people. I really wouldn't go out of my way to come back. I would definitely stop again on my way home from Rockaway Beach. read more

I came to Frenasia twice in the past year, both times when I was in NYC on business. Renovating a house is hard work, and you definitely need zen moments to relax and breathe. De-stressing is vital. As a result, in going on a drive away from the construction zone, I found myself hungry and craving sushi. I used my yelp app to find Frenasia and I came in. I was by myself and really just wanted to be left alone. I found a nice seat outdoors and ordered a drink and just was able to breathe. Kudos to the staff for picking up on the sense that I was hungry but didn't want to be fussed over, as they were attentive but not obtrusive. I'm telling you, I was in a mood where if anything wrong had happened, I'd have been in tears. I left, and had leftovers to nibble later. A few months later, my mother, dog and I were all back in New York again, dealing with the house. We needed food, and were tired. So, I decided to stop by here with the hopes of getting some carry-out...because we had the dog. After going in and getting some idea of the menu while my mom and said canine waited in the car, a waitress and waiter standing at the hostess stand asked why we weren't dining in. (I guess she could tell I looked tired and was in need of some relaxation). I gestured to the car, saying that the dog was with us. They looked at each other and said that we could bring him in! WHATTT???!!!! I could not believe they were okay with us having the dog with us. Only thing was that we'd have to eat outside, but that was fine by me, outside was where my first experience was. So, after telling my mother, who was just as psyched as I was, we parked the car and came right in with Michael Jackson. His leash affixed to a table, we were able to enjoy our meal and drinks and have a great time. The staff even gave us a little saucer that he was able to drink water on, and we were a happy trio. I'll always have a soft spot for Frenasia for being so nice to me, my mom and Jackson, who barked his thanks playfully. read more

Excellent food we got take out Sushi & some rolls & dumplings everything was great can't complain

My fiancée and I came here for dinner. We sat in their outdoor dining area which seem well equipped to handle the impending colder weather. We shared their oysters which were offered at six for $24 as well as their sushi deluxe. They oysters were very good. I thought the sushi and sashimi deluxes were the best deals on the menu. With our dinner, we also shared some unfiltered sake. read more

Just Okay. FOOD: I NEVER discard food, I mean it's blasphemy in my book not to take a doggy bag. But I didn't even bother taking home the noodles or the hibachi rice because it was so bland. It'd be a waste of calories. The sushi rolls and dumplings were okay. My date wasn't impressed with his pad thai. SERVICE: Our waitress was extremely polite. When folks use "may I" these days, I nearly fall out my seat! But that aside, the service was very slow and there was a small crowd. VENUE: It was disappointing that the window design had these huge wooden pillars blocking the few of the harbor. (That's just me being extra). Venue is okay...causal. VERDICT: There are just too many other places to go for Asian Fusion to bother coming back here... read more

Simply disgusting felt sick after eating there. The service is horrible. I wanted to have my mom to have a good time. I have to waive the waitress over to get my mom a beer and literally had to look for the waitress. She only hurried and was available when we had to pay. Horrible food horrible service; don't believe?! FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF! read more

Went here on a Tuesday night for a quick dinner with the hubby. It was our first time here and the place was empty, like literally no one was dining in. But nevertheless we were hungry and wanted sushi and a cousin recommended here since it was close by to where we were. It was clean and tidy. We sat in the back by the window and got a view of the waters. The drinks were good, not water down. The sushi was pretty decent but nothing to brag about. Service was good and staff was friendly. read more

Frenasia - Hibachi Chicken and Shrimp Hibachi Steak and Scallop - Asian Fusion Near Me - Howard Beach, New York

I love frenasia. I've been here a bunch of times and I'm never not satisfied with food or service. The Korean dumplings are super Delish! Get two orders seriously, you'll be gobbling up those so fast. The outdoor seating is pretty nice as well. Being by the water and the pretty lights sets a great summery ambiance. Also excellent drink menu, Lots of good drinks to choose from. I am mainly giving 4 stars because of the super small parking lot. However, on weekends there is free valet, which is so convenient for its customers. Do try this place. Food is great. Service is great. Go on weekends so there's valet bc the crossbay area can be hard to find parking. read more

Frenasia - Asian Fusion Near Me - Howard Beach, New York

I have my favorite sushi restaurants but this one was convenient to where my friend lives and was recommended. My friend is a vegetarian so it was nice to see that there is a wide variety of rolls for her, so she ordered the sweet potato roll, the avocado roll with sun dried tomatoes, and the vegetable tempura roll. I ordered the seafood dumplings and the Dragon Ball with Spicy Tuna. I loved how the tuna was surrounded by avocado and covered with crunchies. It was totally unique and have not seen this anywhere else before and was perfect with some spicy mayo and ginger dressing for the mixed salad it was served on. Both the mayo and the dressing were on point with the perfect flavor profiles. So, why give 4 stars and not five? Well, when we sat down, we were approached by several servers back to back to take our order and I just needed a few minutes to look at the menu. However, once we got our food, the service pretty much stopped there. We had to try to get their attention to ask for another Saketini and the dressing and mayo. I appreciated that we weren't being bombarded anymore but it would have been nice to have a happy medium of attentiveness. read more

I think the food is amazing honestly. Something have more taste than other but if you're wise with the order you'll have a great sitting. The service is helpful but i wouldn't say the absolute friendliest. Definitely patient giving my mother being extremely demanding as middle aged woman can sometimes be. I honestly recommend. The ambiance is nice but beware that the grills are closed so there won't be anything cooked in front of you. read more

Amazing customer service and a bevvy of food and drink options. I was very impressed by the good customer service delivered by the waiter and other staff members.

We go this place for lunch or dinner on weekends, it's in the neighborhood therefore it is very convenient. The ambience is nice, the staff attentive, food is good, they have a variety of choices and all of them are tasty. In summer yo can seat outside and at night the place really nice with the little lights hanging. Prices are good, they also have the Hibachi section where you can order other type of meals. I recommend it, it's one of to go places when we wanna eat some good Japanese food. read more

I had a great experience at Frenasia this Friday! The place has a valet parking out front so it is perfect for a rainy day like the one I went on. We ordered the rock shrimp and calamari appetizers then followed up with a Monkey on a roll, Philadelphia roll, Dynamite and Outstanding rolls. This was more than enough food for two people. We were so full that we ended up taking almost an entire roll home. read more

Great Spot for Japanese food in Howard Beach. There are a lot of options to choose from. I like their king crab salad, stuffed avocado bun or butternut squash soup. If I am very hungry, I will get their grilled pork chops entree but it will be for three meals. If I order something and they don't have it I always get a call right away. The delivery driver is super nice and punctual. I really respect the hard work from this business especially during times like this. read more

been here many times over the years; can't go wrong with this spot - cute outdoor seating vibe too, right by the water. Easy to find parking. Great attentive staff. read more

*Review for Hibachi section of restaurant* Not a fan of this place. We had 7:30PM reservations on a Saturday night. We were running late, so we called and told them we would be there at 7:45 the latest. The woman on the phone said that was fine. We got there at 7:45 and were told there would be an additional 15 minute wait because they were behind on reservations. That was completely fine with us, seeing as how we were late anyway. We decided to sit at the bar to kill time. We didn't end up getting seated until 8:30PM!! which was an hour later than our original reservation time. In this case, we were actually happy we got there late and wished we would have gotten there even later!! After finally being seated, it was about another 15 minutes before they came and took our drink order. And then another 10 minutes went by before they took our food order. They are really bad with customer service because they don't bring you water and NEVER came around to see if we wanted a refill on our regular drinks. The food was EHH. The rice and noodles did not taste good. The steak was pretty good, but the chicken was SO bland and didn't taste like anything at all. The guy who was cooking the food was really nice and entertaining. And the bartender Anthony was great. However, that alone is not enough for me to return to this place. Sorry! read more

Frenasia - Sweet peach tea - Asian Fusion Near Me - Howard Beach, New York

I've been coming to frenasia for years. Love the food especially their specialty rolls and their Vietnamese salad. Yes they are pricier than your usual Asian spot however if you come for lunch they offer 3 courses for $15 (app, entree, dessert). They recently revamped their menus, I'm looking forward to returning to try some of their new dishes. I took a star off for their service. Waiters are difficult to communicate with because they speak minimal English. They're also very pushy "are you ready? Are you done?" I hate feeling rushed read more

Rounding up from a 3.5 for the size and selection of their menu. We got sushi, dumplings and shrimp pad thai. I kind of like being able to order from three different types of cuisine at once. Though none of the dishes were mind-blowing, they were solid options. And points for affordability. If you're in the area and can't decide what to eat, this is a great option. read more

Frenasia - Hibachi chef is wearing a clear mask, very clean and professional!! Great Experience! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Howard Beach, New York

Used to be a nice go to spot. Simple bar and easy to access. Great menu with lots of options for appetizers and quick bites. Because of this I didn't mind putting up with a borderline dismissive waiter( slim male with tattoos and a lukewarm attitude) who thinks that putting 1 menu in between two grown adults counts as a form of welcome. He then disappeared to the other end of the bar and began to have a conversation so I had to get my second menu for myself. That's ok. I was there to unwind and drink anyway not chat it up. It was annoying when the food took a while to come out. Longer than the couple that came after us... Worst when the waiter took my soy sauce (which I was using) and gave it to another couple without asking if I was finished. I had to request it back.... sigh..... To top off the evening my friend went to get her car from the valet and was told that she had a flat tire. Mind you she drove in on four perfect tires....no Flats. Her car was in one spot when she arrived and they moved it to a second spot. Then stated when she came out that she had a flat tire??? Management was very unresponsive and unhelpful even after she returned to speak to them the following day. read more

Food was delicious and didnt have to wait to long for order,which was definitely a plus!

Hibachi: Came here with my boyfriend's family for his birthday dinner, we all got variations of different dishes and we were all satisfied. The hibachi chef was very interactive and made us all laugh and have a great experience; he got our large party dinner done quickly and professionally. The lychee martini was good, I am particular picky with this drink and they made it perfect. Take-out: We always usually get the same thing with a new addition of appetizer here and there; all options were delicious and blended well with all of our meals. Our favorite is the super spicy tuna roll, crispy and perfection, mouthwatering and wanting more after it's done. We also get the pineapple fried rice, this one I am not that crazy about since I've had better to me it's just ehhh but we still get it because the boyfriend and I share the dish along with the sushi and he loves it. I can't wait for warmer weather to enjoy our dinner in the water front area of the restaurant. read more

Frenasia - Aged purity cosmos - Asian Fusion Near Me - Howard Beach, New York

When I first came here, I thought this Howard Beach restaurant would be another off-Asian restaurant serving cheap sushi to Americans who were drawn in by the gaudy decor. But I was pleasantly surprised. The first dish I must highlight was the tuna pizza. A crispy tortilla topped with tuna sashimi and guacamole serves as a great appetizer. One bite of this and I seriously contemplated whether I should've ordered one all for myself as an entree. The great selection in their prixe fixe menu won me over though. Although small, their 3 flavor sashimi is a great way to sample their deliciously fresh sashimi. I absolutely loved the tornado salmon! A moist cut of salmon ontop of a flavorful heap of noodles! The steak was also delicious and very filling. To finish our meal, we chose the sweet potato tart and fried ice cream. The tart was AMAZING. Who would have thought this under-appreciated combo would turn out so good!? The waterfront view is a nice touch, and an incentive to sit outside. I recommend this place to those who are in the neighborhood and are looking for a nice, but casual place to eat! read more

A nice water front Asian fusion restaurant in Howard Beach where in the summer you can have a nice lunch/dinner outside or enjoy it anyway inside the place. Appetizer: One of the best Chicken or Beef Satay Ive ever had, great options with peanut sauce Hibachi: I always get the filet mignon & lobster combo, it comes with soup, salad, shrimp appetizer, veggies, your choice of rice or lo-mein, the hibachi is a-okay but with many hibachi options in Howard Beach this is not my first pick. But when it comes down to sushi it's one of the best sushi in south Queens hands down. My favorite roll is the Super Spicy Tuna Roll and it contains Spicy tuna, crab, avocado & cream cheese wrapped w/ crispy panko, served with eel, spicy mayo and sesame vinaigrette sauce. Crispy and delicious. I always order the Chicken lo-mein or the pineapple fried rice for my son and he loves them both and usually cleans the plate because of how good both are. read more
