    Sashimi Deluxe plus extra favorites!
    Lenny F.

    Always the highest Premium freshest sushi you can find on long island Always a tantalizing taste bud experience! If you have not been here yet what are you waiting for. They also have the biggest jumbo wings on the island!

    Summer Roll

    I really liked the way the inside of the restaurant looks. Very cultural and comfortable seats. Looks a bit run down outside but pretty well kept inside. Service was nice- server was attentive. Although I did notice a difference between the treatment of the table next to us and ourselves. Im going based off of observations. We were both table of 2's, came in at the same time, girls, and yet one was checked on by the owner profusely while we were ignored and we were sitting across from each other. (wondering if it's a race issue as they were both white and we were not). Who knows but this definitely crossed my mind throughout the dinner. I would hope that this is not the case. Otherwise the servers kept up with refills. Food was okay. Not the best and I mainly questioned the freshness of it all. Appetizers: -Miso Soup: I enjoyed this. It was tasty. Entrees: -Alaskan roll: (cucumber, salmon, avocado) generally enjoyable, however I couldn't help but taste the salmon and feel something was off. Not the freshest piece of salmon and the avocado was also pretty browned. -Bulgogi roll: (marinated rib eye w/korean sauce, pickled radish, spicy Mayo, jalapeño and chili sauce) I enjoyed this although again questioned if it was fresh or past due. Something about how the beef looked. Beef was not warm so it was definitely sitting in the fridge or idk where- wondering for how long. -Summer Roll: (shrimp, crab stick, cucumber, avocado, red onion, lettuce wrapped with rice paper) my friend said she enjoyed this although she did have trouble eating this with chopsticks and a fork. Almost looked like mini burritos/hand rolls if anything rather than sushi rolls. She enjoyed the sauce that came with it. My stomach was not agreeable with this meal unfortunately and I did suffer some stomach aches while trying to finish up my meal. This was my first tell tale sign that there may be something up with the quality of the sushi. Will probably not be back.

    Honestly was super impressed with the size of the rolls and the freshness. You can tell they are very authentic, the rice is super soft and fresh. I got the fireman roll, k1 roll and salmon avocado. Everything was absolutely delish. The rolls stand out to me compared to competitors due to side, freshness and authenticity. I had seen a lot of recommendations to come here so was excited to try. I got take out and the process was easy. The menu is a bit pricey but worth it for the quality. Will be back! Worth the drive.

    A hidden gem on Long Island. It's Just my favorite place to eat sushi on Long Island, great service all the time, fish always tastes fresh. Can never go wrong

    Fresh is the only word that matters in Japanese restaurants, and Kurofune delivered. My family and some friends came with a large group which they accommodated and which gave me the opportunity to try lots of different dishes since we ate family style. First, I liked everything that I tried, you won't be disappointed if you randomly point at the menu without reading it or get confused by the Japanese names of the menu. For appetizers, try the Spicy Edamame, you'll be surprised at the perfect balance of spice, hot enough to give a burst of flavor but not too hot to burn. The description of the Squid Salad doesn't give justice to this dish. This was one of my favorite dishes. Also try the Rising Sun. The rolls were fresh, my favorites were the Jalapeño Salmon and Halloween Roll, but really the freshness at Kurofune makes everything so much better. My youngest wasn't very adventurous, so she got the chicken teriyaki and described it as "mouthwatering". I finished with ginger ice cream. It was like eating a creamy ginger snap. You have to try it. I also got to try the Fried Ice Cream which was great! Just to wrap up my comments if you are planning a date. Parking was easy. Atmosphere was cozy, not too loud, and not eerily quiet. Chairs were designed with craftsmanship from an era before simplicity meant cheap. I really enjoyed everything even with a large group. Sorry for the pictures. I was mostly done with the meal before thinking, "I should definitely write a review for this place."

    Flying Dragon roll and the green Devil roll (mango instead of asparagus)
    Paula L.

    The food was good. Pretty solid, but nothing so special.We ordered the green devil roll and it was overpowered by the jalapeño. the pieces of tuna were very good, but it was outdone by the jalapeño. The flying dragon was basic.

    Incredible sushi roll selections.

    My daughter was craving sushi for her 20th birthday dinner, so off we went to Kurofune, which had been on my "want to try" list for awhile. We were not disappointed. Excellent sake menu (we enjoyed our toast!), perfect with the amazingly ethereal fluke sashimi and spicy squid appetizers. For mains, we each chose a different sushi roll, and I cannot say which was best, they were all amazing. Nice mochi dessert, too!

    My family and I came here tonight right after a drive home from our ski week getaway. We ordered the Sushi and Sashimi for 2 combo plus the Caribbean Roll. The combo comes with soup and salad. The food was so fresh and delicious!! It's the best it's ever been! We have been here many times in the past. Our waiter was professional, helpful and personable! We talked about Tokyo as I hope to visit there one day! He gave us great tips! Then the new owner came out and introduced herself to us. She was so nice!! We ended our meal with the fried ice cream. Everything was so fresh and delicious!! I loved the Caribbean Roll. Everything was great! I recommend this place if you like sushi! We will be back again.

    They call it a rainbow bowl here

    We ordered curbside due to the Covid-19 pandemic bc my tastebuds are screaming for freedom! Tired of cooking at home! Tip: To beat the dinner rush... we ordered ahead and everything was prepared within 30 mins! That's calling it in, driving to the parking lot. Food was all prepared and given through the side door! Everything was amazing.. just as it is when we dined here! I'm a huge fan! Their shrimp rolls are always excellent) my kid ate all of her California rolls! Love the chicken katsu! Miso soup is always great! My other party ate her entire tempura udon! I will be back soon!

We arrived during…read moretheir lunch hours, but we were really looking forward to trying some dinner items, so we mentioned this to our server, and she quickly accommodated us. Amber was patient, pleasant, and helpful in providing much-needed details about the menu. I ordered the Open Combo Skewer and he ordered the Combo Hibachi with Chicken & Shrimp, as well as two sides of Hibachi Fried Rice. The food was delicious and hot. The meat and vegetables were well- seasoned not salty. Portion size was very satisfying, definitely enough to enjoy at a later time. We usually don't leave room for dessert but today we made an exception and went all in. The Oolong Tea Cheesecake was delicate, with light flavors and a smooth texture. The Momo Musu and the Mango Mousse Bear were exceptional. We immediately enjoyed the Peach and Mango flavors, the overall presentation, and the fresh fruit and whipped cream that accompanied it. (These two are a must when you visit) I've been eyeing Mihana for a while now, and am so happy we decided to give it a try. It was well worth it. Clean and Serene environment, that would be comfortable for a lunch date or a group gathering. This was really one of the best Japanese food experiences that I've had in some time. I highly recommend this establishment, and we can't wait to return!

Everything we ordered was delicious, I would recommend the ribeye and filet mignon skewers, the crispy tuna rice, and sushi was yummy too! This is a great spot to take your family, for dates, or a cool hangout spot with your friends.

    What an absolutely AMAZING experience today, as we celebrated our 5 year old great-niece after her…read morestellar performance at her dance recital! She requested sushi( such a very discerning palate for her young age-lol ), and WOW did this restaurant deliver....From the moment we walked in the door our party of 8 plus 2 children were treated like family. Everyone was so warm, welcoming and accommodating. The sushi rolls were so fresh and delicious. They offer a very extensive and well balanced menu. I especially enjoyed the seafood soup, while others raved about the shrimp dumpling soup...The place is quite beautiful, and we all really had an incredible dining experience. Even though we live 40 minutes away we will definitely be back very soon. It was just that good!!! Now I have another favorite spot on Long Island for scrumptious sushi....AMEN

I asked for…read moresome hot sauce and was surprised when I was told there would be an additional charge for it. I've never had a restaurant try to charge for hot sauce before, especially after spending that much on an order. Unfortunately, this was also disappointing given that the quality of the food especially the sushi has noticeably declined over the past few months. At this point, I'll gladly spend my money somewhere else. It's not about the cost of the hot sauce; it's about the overall experience and feeling like a regular customer is being nickel-and-dimed while the quality has gone downhill.
