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.

This establishment has been here for so long that they've developed an "if you don't like it, go…read moreelsewhere" attitude. Be prepared to be nickel-and-dimed for everything, including a hidden $2 charge for tea they never mentioned upfront. The menu is very limited: no bento boxes, no hot kitchen food, and classic rolls. A la carte is a ridiculous $4.95 per piece. They refuse to make substitutions on the Sushi/Sashimi Deluxe unless you pay an extra $2, and the "avocado bomb" doesn't even come with rice. Because we felt bad about leaving after we sat down, we ended up ordering 2 appetizers and 3 special rolls. The waitress actually gave me a disapproving look and asked, That's it?" when I ordered. Yes, that's it--because your menu is so limited I already knew I'd have to order from another restaurant for my kids as soon as we left. For 5 items, the bill was over $110. The check was just a mess of handwritten scribbles with gratuity already added. This place is absolutely not worth it.

The complimentary bread was served with a very creative trio of spreads: butter, a sweet plum sauce, and a sweet vinegar reduction. It was an unexpected and delicious start to the meal. The sushi rolls were the highlight. The fish tasted great, the avocado was generous, and the ingredients were well balanced. We also really enjoyed the Mito Ribs, Tuna Tartare, Black Sea Bass, Teriyaki Chicken, Mito Fried Rice, and Cobb Salad. The ribs were rich and flavorful, while the tuna tartare was refreshing and beautifully presented. The sea bass had nicely crisped skin with thick, tender meat. Overall, Mito offered a lovely atmosphere, attractive presentation, and a wide variety of enjoyable dishes. It was a great choice for our birthday celebration, and I would gladly return for the sushi and several of their signature dishes.

It was national sushi day as well and during graduation season so it was very busy. Also they were doing construction outside. Inside they have lots to look at on the ceiling and it had a nice presence. It was quite slow but the price of everything was affordable. The wonton soup was very good, I enjoyed the little mushrooms in it. The crispy rice sushi, was amazing! I was worried I wouldn't like it but honestly was the best thing I had. And for the sushi rolls, they did mess mine up and give me the wrong ones but they were good otherwise. It was a nice time. They do serve French fries as well for the kids. And have a regular Asian menu like pad Thai and such.

The raw fish was extremely fresh, the assortment was excellent, and the special tea-flavored seasoned rice added a unique touch. The portion was generous, and I left satisfied. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be coming back.

I thought the ramen was just mediocre and the chashu was very hard to chew. The noodles was pretty good. There was a good amount of ikura, king crab, and avocado included. I originally wanted the Sashimi Set but they didn't have uni that day. They would have just subbed it with something else so I didn't think it was worth the $55. I also tried the Tochucha Yuzu Lemonade which was good but not amazing. I didn't know what all the hype was over tochucha because it wasn't very memorable for me.

This is a place that always satisfies me with its savory. It is a fusion of Japanese, Korean and American. The MAZESOBA is always al-dente. When you crack the egg yolk and allow the noodles to immerse with it along with the sauce. The favor and texture is unforgettable. My favorite is curry MAZESOBA. They provide you with vinegar on the side for you to adjust the spicy level. After you finish the noodle, put that bowl of rice so you may consume all the wonderful sauce inside the bowl. How can you resist to not coming to here again and again. I also just realized that have a long beer list of Asian draught, and it's 4 bottles for the price of 3. How nice is that? Huh!. The service here is kind of snow. I came here on a quiet Sunday and two waitress seems busying at something which left my wife and I waited at the door. Oh! They have a patio behind the dining hall. So those two waitress were actually working hard back and forth the whole restaurant. I guess hiring more people would made the experience more delightful. Well... I will come back definitely for sure. Calvin

It shines as both an exceptional izakaya and a destination for uniquely crafted ramen. This isn't your standard sushi-and-teriyaki spot. The izakaya menu is full of inventive small plates you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere. I can't recommend the yakitori, tuna tacos, Chicken bun, Nike Sobu and chicken wings enough. Each one is a flavorful, expertly prepared start to the meal. But the real showstopper is their signature mazemen. This broth-less ramen is a revelation, tossing perfectly cooked noodles in a rich, savory sauce that clings to every strand. I asked ofit could be made without pork and the obliged makingnit with chicken instead. The depth of flavor is mind-blowing and offers a completely different ramen experience I hadn't encountered before. If you find yourself anywhere near Northern Boulevard in Queens, this place is an absolute must-visit. Prepare for your expectations of Japanese casual dining to be delightfully upended, with excellent service to boot.

For me, it was decent, but nothing I'd go crazy over. I will say, though, the tacos are very small, so keep that in mind. The real standout for me was the salmon fried rice. That was really good, and honestly, that's the main reason I would go back to Nami Sushi. I also tried the California rolls, which were good but nothing particularly different or out of the ordinary. The kani salad, unfortunately, wasn't my favorite. I usually expect yum-yum sauce to already be mixed into kani salad, but it wasn't, so I ended up adding some sauce I had at home, which definitely made it better for me. The service was good. The young lady who helped me was very nice and pleasant. The restaurant itself was very clean. It's a small space with a long, narrow kind of layout, but it still works for what it is. I'd come back for the salmon fried rice, and I'd probably try a few other things on the menu.

DO NOT order anything from the "Special Summer Menu." It is essentially a bowl of tepid noodles slathered with some horrible commercial sauce and a few vegetables. You can do better at literally any other Chinese take out place in the area for less money. Mine was with some awful peanut sauce that made the dish inedible. These items should not appear on the menu. Also had the greasy scallion pancakes which were served with some sort of indistinguishable sauce (not soy, closer to hoisin, which is not typical). Again, could not finish as they were beyond the grease factor. I wanted to order the vegetable dumplings, which were reliably good, but for some reason did not appear on their automated menu system. Finally, as a Caucasian customer I always enjoy having the racist staff bring me a plastic fork instead of chopsticks. It is the final insult to a mediocre experience.
