Koiso truly exceeded all my expectations. I was expecting an overpriced, decent sushi restaurant in…read morethe middle of Carle Place, but was blown away by an authentic, Japanese-run local gem. The owners seem to know all of their regulars here, and made time to stop by each table to greet customers. The menu here is fairly extensive with different sushi/sashimi combinations. Great for groups, and for really reasonable prices too. We ordered two mystery boxes ($55? or $50? for the premium, and about $35 for the regular) and two sushi/sashimi omakase dinners. Everything was DELIGHTFUL. I usually find one or two pieces that I'm not the greatest fan of, and that was the case here too with a torched piece (not sure what it was). The other fish was great though - they don't skimp on portions & the rice is well seasoned. The interior of the restaurant is a bit dated, but doesn't take away from the food. Will definitely be back! Parking was fairly easy in the neighborhood.

It's always a challenge to find places that my parents are willing to go to for dinner, so it is a huge blessing that Spring open just 20 minutes away so we can add an additional restaurant to our family's list! It's also great to see such diverse patrons at this location.

I will only post about a restaurant that I think is exceptional. 10 years ago I stopped working as…read morea chef at an exceptional restaurant (LB Social in Long Beach). My culinary influences were always affected by various ethnic cuisines. We live in the most culturally diverse area in the country. I do not eat sushi, but it is my wife's comfort food so I always say yes because our local place makes a very good chicken katsu. They do not make katsu curry which is one of my comfort foods. Everytime we order, I make curry sauce for the chicken. Tonight I had the BEST Katsu Curry (technically I got the Kaarage Curry). Holy crap it was so good. Japanese curries are not spicy, they tend to be a bit sweeter because of carrots and usually grated apple or honey for sweetness. The balance on that sauce was spot on perfect. The Kaarage (Japanese Fried Chicken thighs) was the perfect match for this curry. Exceptional!!! My wife got the fresh grilled eel over rice. She absolutely loved it. There is something about rice when it is perfectly cooked. This was no exception. My wife who is cutting back carbs ate every grain of rice in bowl. I havent seen her do that in years. I first heard about Youta because of their ramen. It did not disappoint. I judge ramen on its broth. This was silky, rich, a bit garlicky and porky liquid goodness. I prefer a slightly thicker noodle but I cant fault them. The noodles had the right amount of chew that separates the really good from meh. The bamboo shoots were a very happy surprise. The jammy egg was perfection. Damn I really love this place. We did not have the Baos but they looked amazing as they came out of the kitchen. They do not take reservations but there is an app for the waiting list. That was a very pleasant surprise at how easy and functional it was. You have 5 minutes to respond to the text and if you are not there in 10 minutes, they wipe your spot. I apologize for no pictures, we will definitely be back and I will definitely get the Kaarage Curry. Please support this AMAZING restaurant. The service was as great as the food.

Fried octopus with mayo... who thought of this combo?! How does it work? Mayo as a dipping sauce? Nuts. Delicious. Dumplings - super flavorful. Side of hot sauce, excellent addition.

The service is always very warm and attentive with the perfect balance of checking in without being overwhelming. My husband ordered the chirashi lunch and I ordered the Bento C but substituted shumai for the spicy tuna gyoza, we also split a 3 roll combo, and added a piece of ikura for my husband and shitake mushroom roll. The bento c is my absolute favorite. I always order it especially because the kani salad is the best. The thing about Ginza is that it is truly amazing quality and you really get what you pay for, especially at lunch.

Our waiter was possibly new and I mean my dad is in the business so I'm very understanding and quite easy to please. They have mocktails and cocktails here. I don't drink so I love some good mocktails. I ordered a strawberry dreams too. I didn't even realize they also have an alcoholic drink called strawberry dreams lol. I mean whoever made the menu maybe don't do that. Anyway I was confused when he came out with two drinks but we explained it's the name of the drink, not 2 lol and we thought it was sort of funny. You'd think maybe he'd say oh there is an alcoholic version. Anyway I took a sip and yeah a nice strong yummy drink. I mean if I wanted alcohol I'd be very pleased lol. I didn't so I was like um yeah I just wanted a mocktail. So yeah got my mocktail which was also very yummy. I took off a star and debated between 3-4 stars because I have an alcoholic mom in recovery. I started to wonder well what if that had been her? My mom has a nose like a dog so she probably would've smelled the drink before ever taking a sip lol but still I can't even imagine like well what if it was my mom? I'm not in recovery though and my mom wasn't with us, nor did it happen to her lol. It was a silly mistake so yeah that's why I went back and forth between 3-4 with the stars in my review. I haven't even told my mom about the silly mixup because I don't want her being terrified anytime we go out to dinner that she might accidentally drink alcohol :P They should really think about changing the drink names so there is never any confusion! Just encase it's ever someone who really cannot drink and could ruin their life lol. But hey it wasn't the end of the world for me and now an amusing story we have to tell. I ended up with the 4 stars because the rock & roll shrimp was really delicious. So was the sushi esp the tuna one.
