    Have been waiting for the Westbury location to open, but it's taking so long! We ended up visiting the Bayside location. Overall 3.5/5. We tried the tochucha ramen and karaage set on a cold winter day. The tochucha ramen noodles and broth all contain tochucha but not weirdly strong, it's good to try their specialty. However the chachu pork in the ramen is dry and lack of flavor. The egg in the ramen is slightly overcooked and also lack of flavor. The karaage set is pretty good, karaage itself is juicy and savory, the set also includes various items. Tipa amount on POS is calculated using after tax amount, which is wrong and misleading.

    Service is quick and the food is yummy. We tried a few of their entrees and preferred the ramen over the rice dish.

    My brother, sister, and I had an early dinner at Nippon Cha. The atmosphere was pleasantly serene. The staff was very polite and attentive. For example, they would fill your glass of water without you asking. I'm beginning to learn japanese food terminology, and you can Google any unknown terms yourself, but I found them to be very interesting. As usual, we had a taste of each others dish. 1) First off, we ordered a large order of Yuzuyebasaki fried chicken wings in yuzu sauce. ($18). I loved them, 5 stars. 2) My brother ordered Tochucha Chirashi, basically fresh sashimi including tuna, salmon, yellowtail, scallops, ikura, avocado, oba. ($35). My brother gives the dish 4 stars. I'm not a sashimi person, but I have to give it a yummy 5 stars. 3) My sister ordered Nabe with seafood, cabbage, tofu, mushrooms, and scallions in Tochucha broth. ($28). My sis and I rate this dish 4 stars. 4) I had an Unatama bowl which consisted of eel with boiled egg in tentsuyu sauce, and tochucha rice. ($19). I found the taste of this dish, and any miso soup we had, to be a shade on the salty side. 4 stars. Overall, I recommend this restaurant, and give it a solid 4 stars.

    R4. Spicy Miso 辛味噌

    One of my go to ramen spots on Bell Blvd. Street parking out front. The staff is always friendly and the restaurant is clean with a big sushi / Japanese menu. Their dessert options are also plentiful. I ordered the spicy miso this visit and throughly enjoyed it. The food has always been amazing. I just had one scoop of matcha icecream to end the meal, lite and enjoy the wooden aesthetics of the interior decor as well. I'll continue to come here often, it remains cozy and enjoyable.

    It's been a couple of years since I've had Nippon Cha so we decided to give them another try on a Sunday evening. At 6pm, diners were already filling up the place for an early dinner. We ordered the gyu-katsu to start along with 2 ramens. The gyu-katsu came first and looked like it was perfectly fried. The outside was crispy and the steak inside was medium to medium rare. The soy jalapeno dipping sauce was nice but a little salty if used too much. After a long while, I found it weird that having ordered within 2 mins after the table next to us, we still had not received our ramens when they were already more than halfway through their meal. When we flagged our waitress down, she realized their mistake and quickly alerted the kitchen to remake our meal. I'm not sure how they managed to lose our order but thinking back, I did see them bring 2 completely untouched ramens from the dining room back into the kitchen, so that made more sense after the fact. I got the negi ramen, which had a spicy pork broth and chasiu. The broth was light and had a hint of spice. The ramen itself was a bit soft and not noteworthy. The kara miso ramen had a spicy chicken broth and was even lighter than the negi. Both ramens were pretty average and nothing spectacular, but I may be biased as I prefer much richer broths and chewy noodles. Overall, I was a bit disappointed by this meal, but still appreciate having this classic ramen / matcha shop on Bell Blvd. If I do return, I would definitely get their curry beef udon again.

    Haven't been here in a long time. Parking can be tough in the area but it's doable. You might have to walk a bit. We came in and it took a while for the server to get to us. She apologized but it seemed like she was the only one out in the floor for a while! Food was good and came out fast. They used to have like a make your own match thing? But I didn't see it on the menu. If they did remove it from the menu what a bummer

    We ordered an variety of different items to try such as the Keisen-Don, Matcha Soba, Chicken Curry Katsu, Assorted sushi set. The seafood was fresh with no funky smell to it, the katsu was crispy, and the matcha Soba had just the slightest hint of matcha flavoring to it but paired very well with the dipping sauce. However, the rice was not our favorite part of the meal because it felt like the chew to it was abit stiff and grainy but overall the meal was very good and unique.

    Dined here for lunch on a rainy day. My mom ordered the Tochucha Udon and I ordered the curry udon with beef. Shared a spicy tuna roll as an appetizer. I also ordered a matcha with coconut water to go. It was a lot of food so we packed the leftovers. The service, the food and the ambiance are great. Just be mindful it is on the expensive side. Spent a total of $70 including tip and tax.

    Katsu don (plain)

    We came for lunch on Sunday after church. They were friendly and service was very attentive. Inside was traditional looking with wooden tables and chairs. We got the tonkatsu ramen and the katsu don. The tonkatsu ramen with the tochucha noodle was very good. The broth was full of porky flavor. The noodle texture was dense and not as springy as the plain noodles. There were three large pieces of char sui. It was a solid bowl of ramen. The katsu was pretty typical. The meat was pretty large and the coating was crunchy. The rice was ok. Overall a good experience.

    Had a great foodie experience with the kids at Nippon Cha. Kids loved the Shoyu Ramen, Fried Chicken and Tempura. Topped it off with some Orange and yuzu lemonade

    I think it's been almost 3 years since I last came to Nippon Cha, so I was excited to get their food again! I had their strawberry matcha, chirashi bowl, eel egg rice bowl, and their matcha tiramisu. Something that I've always liked about their food is that they infuse it with tea, and it was the same for the rice that came with the chirashi. But my favorite was the eel egg bowl! However I still enjoyed them all!

    Nippon Cha Bayside delivers excellent sushi at a great value. I ordered the sushi feast ($55) and was impressed by both the presentation and variety -- from salmon and uni to scallops, eel, roe, and quail egg, every piece was fresh and beautifully prepared. The quality easily rivals some of the expensive omakase experiences in Manhattan, but at a much friendlier price point. Service was attentive and the relaxed atmosphere made it easy to enjoy the meal. For $55, the sushi feast is a fantastic deal and well worth it.

    Tonkotsu Ramen
    Samuel C.

    A serviceable ramen place in Bayside. The tonkotsu ramen was not too flavorable and a bit salty. Also ordered spicy tuna roll. It came with 6 rolls. Other places usually have 8. Rolls were also average. Service was okay. Probably the best ramen place in the area.

    The sashimis are very small pieces, especially the tuna. Very disappointed. And kind of pricey too. I was expecting larger pieces of fish.

Sitting at sushi bar, we asked Chef Benny to make whatever he pleased and that we'd simply stop when we were full. We haven't got out as friends in a while, so we all agreed we'd splurge for the night and worry about the bill later. What happened next was extraordinary. Chef Benny served up banger after banger of his favorites. From uni and spicy tuna hand rolls to sashimi and nigiri... we were in sushi heaven. He also kept the banter flowing all night, sharing stories of his own pals and telling us all about his favorite restaurants across Long Island and Queens. What he told us next we couldn't believe.. he said he's in this 60's! He has such a youthful spirit, jolly demeanor, a ton of energy, and franky looks to be in his mid 40's.. I'd never have guessed! We happened to sit next to regulars of his. They were a lovely couple who have followed Chef Benny from restaurant to restaurant over the last 20+ years. That's a testament to not only how great of a chef he is, but also how great of a guy too!

We were looking for a no-frills sushi spot that serves fresh ingredients and Akito fit the bill perfectly. They recently opened a couple weeks ago in the space formerly occupied by Kenta Sushi. We ordered: Kani Salad ($8): A little bland, but not horrible. It could have used extra mayonnaise dressing, in my opinion. Pork Gyoza ($7.50): this was pretty good. It had nice delicate flavor and nice thin crispy wrapper. Seasonal Fries ($7): we mainly ordered this for my young niece, but we all ended up enjoying it. It looked like it might have been frozen fries, but it was fried perfectly with a nice subtle seasoning Salmon Teriyaki Lunch Bento Box ($14): this came with white rice, salad, miso soup, California Roll and a couple of fried Shumai. Thoroughly enjoyed the teriyaki sauce which was more on the sweet side and had lots of onions. The California roll was solid, and I appreciated that the shumai was fried (which I always prefer over steamed). The only element that I did not enjoy in this bento was the salad which had a very tangy ginger dressing Three Roll Lunch ($15): there were a lot of choices to choose from, but we ultimately decided on Shrimp Mango roll, Eel Avocado Roll and Salmon Avocado Roll. All three rolls were pretty good, nothing too exciting but we were happy with our choices. I love the use of mango with sushi and quite enjoyed it with the shrimp. It was a pretty tasty lunch and well priced for this neighborhood. Service was quick and very attentive. They have lunch specials everyday from 11:30am-3:330pm. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a quick sushi fix.
