Another sushi restaurant checked off my bucket list ! This place has a parking to the side of the building . I didn't see it until I already parked somewhere else . The entrance is hard to find as it is a little door on the left of the building . Once you get inside it looked pretty good with all the tall glass windows . The service was good as we got all the stuff we ordered pretty fast. I like the miso soup to the sashimis and the salads . Everything came out surprisingly good ! It was definitely a win in trying out a new place tonight! read more

Oh Sushi Island.... what happened?? As you can see from my past reviews, you were my family's staple. Now that video of the RAT infestation has circulated and the way you guys solved it was to block the windows during night hours?? This is disturbing and incredibly disappointing. This is not the Sushi Island I grew up with. read more

Recently saw the updated news --- ZERO Star Absolutely disgusted by them think it's okay to be operating and selling food to people when they can't even keep their store clean from pests and rodents for that long until they got caught and closed. They weren't even keeping food in the right temperature. Instead of correcting it they think it's okay Ughh and to think I ate their many time and even got delivery from them before - not sure when this issues started but just reading it; made me feel disgusted read more

Food: 5 stars Service: 2.5 stars I popped in for dinner after doing some shopping by at the mall across the street. They share the same front building door with the spa on the second floor. The servers were not friendly-- which I get we sometimes don't have a good day, but a small (even fake) smile when customers walk in is expected. They didn't have small bottle of soy sauce on my table when I was seated, nor did they give me one, so I had to take it from the empty table next to me. I ordered a salmon and avocado roll, and a (I forget the name of the other one, but it was of the specialty sushi menu and it has spicy tuna), and both came out to around $22. The sushi is fresh and of good quality. Definitely worth coming here for the food. The prices are pretty on par with other places I've been to. Worth hitting up if you're in the area. read more

I came here as it was on the way to the mall. I wasn't craving sushi, so I looked at their menu before to see what else they served. They have lunch specials but not for a weekend. I went on a sunday so it didn't apply. They were quite busy, so I had to wait a bit. It's a no frills place to eat at. They have seating indoors by the sushi bar, and there are booths, too. Food wise, I got the Lychee Thai ice tea to drink. It is the same taste as a regular Thai ice tea except lychee inside of it and no condensed milk. My friend got the bento box with salmon as the main entree. I ordered the Nabayaki udon, which has chicken in it. The soup was a bit bland. I had to ask for hot sauce. I probably won't be back as I wasn't too happy with the service and the food. read more

The food tasted like a rare cases of diseases. It was so disgusting that I told the employee that this is disgusting. The employee then kicked me out of the restaurant because I said that the food tasted horrible. I will never go back to this restaurant again while the place looked dirty and smelled like rat poop. That's when I notice that while I was on my way home. I saw rats, I'm not even joking, right in front of my eyes, and then they decided to hide the window so that I can see their pet rats spreading disease. I'm very disappointed of the health inspector to keep the place open. read more

Friday night so it kinda busy, but people were in and out so I was able to sit in a booth with my date. They were playing Kanye West classics so that was nice as we waited for our food. It came out promptly, I don't believe wait time is ever a problem here. First time getting the fire fire fire and I would order again I was so full from all the pieces of sushi stuffed with crab and seaweed salad. I enjoyed my new pick! My boyfriend got his usual tempura California roll but I can't write a review on that because I am allergic to avocado! Thank you guys for an awesome fulFILLing FriYay night, keep up the great work! read more

Sushi Island, with its location near Queens Central Mall, is always in view. I went back there recently years later and it's as if nothing changed. The Volcano Roll is basically a sushi mountain - loaded with toppings. If you're into generous portions, try this. Ordered a couple of my go-to rolls as well, and they hit the mark. The menu has a good variety without being overwhelming, which is a plus for me. With normal what-you-would-expect food, what sets Sushi Island apart is the pricing. Great value for the quantity you get. You're not breaking the bank for a satisfying sushi meal. The vibe is casual, service is solid, and it's a good place to grab some reliable sushi without any fuss. The only reason I took off a star is because the service could be a little better, especially when the spot is busy. Nonetheless, if you find yourself in this part of Queens and are in the mood for casual well-priced sushi with ample portions, this will cover your needs. read more

Overall a solid place for sushi. We ordered 6 rolls to go. 2x Eel Avocado 1x Salmon Roll 1x Spicy Crab 1x Bali Roll 1x Salmon Tempura Roll This was more than enough food for two people. The eel avocado had a good ratio of eel to avocado. Some places have too much avocado which I do not like. The salmon tempura roll had cooked salmon, I wasn't really a fan. The cooked salmon was a bit dry. I probably would not order that again in the future. I would recommend to ask for spicy mayo when you order to go. I forgot and I believe that would've made the meal a bit better. read more

We came in on a Thursday for lunch. The restaurant was quite empty and I can smell a horrible spoiled fish smell in the background which made me think twice of staying. We decided to stay and give them the benefit of the doubt. We had to change tables three times since the booth tables were wobbly and they're not doing anything about it. We made our orders and as soon as I mentioned avocado shake, the server had this concerned look on her face, but did not inform me what her predicament was. The avocado shake does not taste like avocado at all. It's watered down, full of large broken icecube pieces, and tastes absolutely bland and bitter. Moving to the food--the takoyaki was extremely mushy inside, with not enough sauce to accompany it. The sushi rolls looks pale and unappetizing, but thankfully it did not make us feel sick. My wife ordered the teriyaki bento because she cannot have sushi due to pregnancy. Which I profusely informed the server, but we were served with medium rare teriyaki, that has a spoiled beef smell. Absolutely unacceptable. read more

It's giving cat café, except the cats are rats and the ambiance is a health code violation. The sushi has a certain... rustic charm, probably because it's been taste-tested by the resident rodents. Five stars for the immersive experience, one star for the actual food. read more

Go to local sushi restaurant. Staff super friendly with great food! Sushi made fresh right in front of your eyes.

This is hands down one of my favorite sushi restaurants ever. Their rolls are always super fresh and the prices are great! This spot is always bustling and is a local favorite. There is great variety in terms of the rolls available and the menu itself is expansive, and includes dishes other than sushi. If you're in the area, I highly recommend popping in for a bite. read more

I order from this place often but I'm going to do so much less now. Not really worth it when you really look at the product. If I order a specialty roll/sushi etc I expect there to be fish. Food might taste good but it's not worth the price if it's almost all filler, there's even rice packed inside the seaweed of the rolls now. Huge quality drop from when I started ordering years ago. Can't be more than 2oz of salmon the whole roll. Same maybe worse months later, even worst now 7/25 read more

When we first walked in, it was so awkward because there was no customers in there so all the workers were just staring at us... they didn't say hi, or whatever. Nobody even came up to seat us down, so we just picked a seat ourselves but then a worker just said across the room, "no" *points to another table* for us to sit there. And then on top of that when we were seated there was only 3 of us sitting on a table of 4 so the lady came up to the table to take away the chopstick and the napkin since there is no fourth person but the thing is she took the one that was right in front of me. She made it easier for herself grabbing the one that was right in front of me. But as a worker she should've removed the one where nobody was sitting at. It's not that big of a deal but it was little rude encounters the entire time there from the moment we stepped in. We ordered the food, all good. We ordered the dragon roll. And we also got two lunch specials where 3 rolls are around $11. Both plates included the California roll, a shrimp tempura roll and a sweet potato roll. We also got 2 plates of spicy mayo which was .50 cents for each. The food was well done. Everything tasted good. And when we were done eating, we asked for the check. And in the process of all this my sister and my boyfriend both asked them at separate times if they could exchange 10 single dollar bills to a full $10. But they said no, they didn't have anymore $10 bills. However we went around 1PM, when there was no customers. No cashier is supposed to open with no change in their register. He wouldn't even give us 2 $5 bills. Nah they didn't care, straight up just said no. And when the lady came to clean up our table she had a straight face the entire time, didn't smile, didn't interact with us at all. I saw her name on the receipt but let me not violate. All this is whatever but then again, going back to these little rude & weird encounters we had. Food was great. Service had to be better. read more

I very rarely write reviews but this place has changed so much (for the better) over the 15+ years I have lived in this neighborhood. Recently paid a midday visit and everything was super delicious and fresh. Staff was very friendly. Service was quick and the ambiance is very nice. Clean and organized. I would honestly bring a date here. And the presentation for the food was impeccable. Also very fair prices. I am very pleased. read more

Been ordering sushi from here for takeout, the prices are very reasonable as most places charges a lot for a roll. Most of their rolls are between $3-6 so worth it! And their Al La Carte starts from $1 and it's very fresh! I recommend coming to this place if you're not looking to spend a lot of money for sushi. This place is decent especially in the elmhurst area also! read more

This was a seriously good sushi spot! To piggy back on what another yelper commented, the prices are definitely right! Light years cheaper and also TASTIER than other spots! I mean it sounds to good to be true, but I'm no longer a skeptic! This is definitely a place to order from during this crisis as it hits all my personal sushi notes: Tasty, Reasonably Priced and FRESH. So wonderful to have a place that indulges my sushi cravings and shows up right at my door step! Definitely taking a visit once this crisis is over. Overall, I highly recommend this place! I truly don't believe you'll find tastier sushi than this at this price point or as fresh. It's truly the best at it's price point, just not the best I've ever had, but in all fairness I'm still waiting for the "one" that blows my socks off. Until then, I have this absolutely wonderful place to always look forward to! So good! read more

The sushi looks delicious and fresh and the prices are unbeatable, but the rice was kinda hard and the soy sauce they give you wasn't sushi soy sauce. In fact, it was like cheap dark Chinese soy sauce. It had a bit of a bitter aftertaste and wasn't umami salty at all. It made my sushi experience kinda meh. I'm hoping the hard, stale rice was a one time thing. The dressing on the salad that came with it was kinda diluted too. I'm not sure if I'll order from them again. Maybe if I have a craving for sushi and I have temporary amnesia, I will order from them again. read more

I've been to Sushi Island a few times, and went there again recently for the first time in a few years. It is a very small and casual fusion sushi and Thai place with reasonable prices when it comes to drinks and food. Is it the best sushi? No. But for the area, it is a nice option when you don't feel like traveling into Manhattan. We ordered a Pandora Roll and a Volcano Roll. The Pandora Roll is pretty good and along the lines of a typical signature roll at any sushi restaurant. It has tuna, salmon, and eel, which are all great, and it tasted good. The Volcano Roll is a bit crazier. It is a deep fried salmon roll that is sliced up and stacked in a pyramid shape and is then topped with mounds of crab meat and sauce. The first bite is good, but it quickly becomes too oily and too much. It is nice to look at, but is best shared with a few people so you only eat a small amount. The oil is much more than I expected from sushi. Overall, the food is decent. If you are able to go to Manhattan for sushi, do that instead. If you are stuck in Elmhurst, this is a nice place to visit. read more

Quality of food has always been really great but since Covid happened, I'm not sure anymore. Used to be my go to spot, but the last two times I've ordered for takeout/delivery, sushi made me feeling uneasy. Stomach viruses the last few times, I've came through. Not sure if just me but sushi is not fresh and does not exceed my expectations now. read more

I decided to give this place a try because i always go to tomo sushi up the block. Upon walking in the waitresses weren't inviting looking. The sushi chef was bent over playing on his phone. And the place was very outdated. On top of that the huge sign posted on their window by the door is a lie! Sushi and sashimi aren't 1 dollar a piece. The fine print is it's starting at!!! But there is no fine print. And what japanese restaurant charges for spicy mayo?? Are you kidding me? I work at a japanese restaurant on the upper west side and we don't even charge for spicy mayo. And that's the upper west side where our rent is over 70k a month. I mean seriously sushi island do right by your neighborhood! As for the food, it was mediocre. Nothing special. The shrimp tempura had way too much batter. And the veggies on the tempura were under cooked. Not to mention it also took too long. read more

I have been here once before at least 5-8 years ago and it wasn't terrible. It definitely was not great but it was not terrible. I told my husband I really didn't want to go back. I wanted to go to Sai today, which is further east on Queens blvd, but unfortunately they were closed (only on Mondays). My 13 year old insisted we give this place another chance. I regret listening to him. I had two hand rolls which were mediocre. Yellowtail and eel. I had some sashimi and sushi. Small portions to be expected for the price. The reason for the 1 star is the spicy scallop roll. The roll was cut up into 6 pieces. At least 4 pieces had no scallop at all. I found 4 pieces of scallop in the other two which was smaller than the size of my pinky nail. They mixed so much of the crunch crap in this roll it should have been called spicy crunch crap roll. I dissected the roll and the waitresses looked embarrassed. My husband and son ordered two rolls each. And left half of each of their rolls. So much rice not enough fish. Service was fine. I said it once I'll say it again...I'm not coming back here. read more

Sushi Island - Dissected spicy scallop roll which had basically no scallop - Sushi Bars Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

We discovered this place during quarantine as a cheaper sushi spot & after giving it a try I do agree w previous reviews on one thing their prices they do have very reasonable prices in comparison. First time around we got NY roll & Spider rolls both good NY roll is simple good combo the salmon & shrimp in the spider roll we liked the Fried crab. Specialty rolls had the Paradise & Caribbean rolls , paradise is overly stuffed not bad taste wise just a lot going here the Caribbean roll was the winner of the night great combo w the crab, eel & shrimp plus its fried so probably why it was the best one. Next time around had the Caribbean again we have declared it a favorite since it's so good for our simple option got the California roll not bad & specialty the Bora Bora roll shrimp, avocado & crunchy crab was a good combo. Both Manhattan & Shrimp tempura Rolls also good. Also tried the Chicken Lollipop fried chicken very good on its own better dipped w the sweet chili sauce, good Dumplings & good Rock Shrimp tempura. This place is not bad at all very reasonable prices , good selection , we ordered though seamless & so far had no issues this was great find for decent sushi to go we enjoyed it & chances are will continue to get take out from here. read more

My bf and I decided to try their Island Sashimi Deluxe (?), 30 pieces of Chef's Choice of Sashimi for $40. Aside from the mackerel, crabmeat and the shrimp, everything was delicious! I wish they could've swapped out those for more salmon or tuna or white tuna pieces. Service can be a bit more attentive but cant beat the food quality and quantity for the price. Most other places give you only 6 pieces for their sushi rolls, but Sushi Island gives you 8! Their lunch specials are well-priced too.
