    Crystal Roll: $15 ($16.29 with tax)
    Harris L.

    We visited Sushi Kaiyo for a late evening dinner, and ordered: - Sushi Sashimi Combo for 1: $30 ($32.59 with tax). This dish had a lot of food; fortunately, there were two of us. The fish was fresh and presented at the right temperature. The included miso soup was over-salted. - Crystal Roll: $15 ($16.29 with tax). Aside from the sushi rice being slightly too hard, we liked everything else about the roll. The Crystal Roll was colorful and flavorful. The wasabi here is very strong. Suggested tips are calculated on post-tax subtotals and start at 20%, which is a bit high since there isn't complementary tea.

    Little hole in the wall sushi spot with awesome lunch specials. I work out in Mineola from time to time and this one of my favorite spots for lunch. They have a few tables inside and it seems they do a lot of take out business. I always eat there and it never disappoints. Everyone working there is so kind and friendly.

    two roll lunch special with tuna & Yellowtail
    Paula L.

    I ordered a two roll lunch special. I got two hand rolls. Yellowtail scallion and a tuna. I also got a crystal roll. The crystal roll was very tasty. The hand rolls were tasty too. My only complaint is I don't like mushy fish. i ordered tuna. not spicy tuna. i did not expect it to be all chopped up. The same thing for the yellowtail. The lady that took my order was super nice. I told her I'd wait outside by my car until the order was ready. The order was ready pretty quickly and she came out and gave it to me. I would definitely go back there if I'm in that neighborhood again

    My friends and I were in the Mineola area and wanted to pick up some sushi take out for lunch. We stumbled upon Kaiyo and decided to order 2 orders of crispy rice and the sushi lunch special, which was 3 rolls for $18. We got a spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and spicy yellowtail roll- all with spicy mayo, eel sauce and crunchies on top. Everything was SUPER good. Def going back.

    Sashimi sushi boat for 2

    This spot is so good! Feeling in a sushi mood...we walked in on a Fri. evening to have dinner at 7:30 PM, and we were able to get a table immediately. Our order was the sushi sashimi boat for 2, and also a couple of appetizers (pan fried shrimp dumplings and also the takoyaki--squid potato balls pretty good). The thing that blew my mind was the quality and freshness of the fish. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. I thought our waiter was helpful and accommodating. We had many requests, and he was patient as we ordered even more honey plum wine, raw oysters and more dumplings. I love the presentation of our sushi and sashimi. It was so beautiful, and I can tell you it was worth it! I would definitely return and recommend it to my friends.

    Can I tell you that I really love this place. Family owned business with indoor seating, can be good for groups. The fish is super fresh and the food presentation is up to par. There's so much selection in their menu. I especially loved the ikayaki which is a grilled squid with sweet sauce. The squid was cook just right, it was delicious and chewy. Besides sushi they also have ramen, udon, and bento boxes in their menu. I can't wait to try the rest. If you're really hungry I would recommend ordering the sushi and sashimi for two which also includes two special rolls order and your choice of miso soup or salad. They have a variety of special rolls to choose from. The customer service was excellent. I noticed that they do get a lot of take out orders. We didn't have to wait long for the food to arrive to our table. The service was very attentive.

    This sushi spot is definitely up there on my list within this area! It's a small mom and pop shop but there are several tables inside, mainly for smaller parties. I can tell that they get a lot of take out orders and they fulfill these orders pretty quickly too. I've gotten take out but also dined in and the quality doesn't differ when you do take out! The prices are very comparable to other sushi spots but I think the quality here is much better than most spots in Queens/Long Island. I love raw fish so rolls and sashimi are always my go-to items to order. There's a huge selection of special rolls and if you look at their online menu, there are pictures associated with each of them. I like to see what my food would look like and plus, it actually comes out looking like the picture, if not better! I think all their rolls are great. The filling to rice ratio is perfect and as I mentioned, the quality has always been great with every order. The shrimp tempura are actually meaty pieces of shrimp compared to other spots that are mostly just batter and they put generous amounts of raw fish as well. The sashimi is also in even, thick cuts and just delicious! A hidden gem but definitely deserves more traction! I know I'll be back here for sure.

    Been ordering takeout sushi from Sushi Kaiyo, since the quality of sushi from our go-to spot has declined. They are pretty generous with the cuts and I haven't encountered any foul smelling fish. Everything has been fresh and presented nicely and hygienically. I've ordered the chirashi, rolls and sushi and have been very pleased. Excited to try out other items on their menu!

    Who knew about this hidden gem? Tucked away next to NYU Langone in Mineola, this place might have the best sushi in Nassau. It's a small family run restaurant but the food here is really just top notch. We got the sushi sahimi for 3 (which really is enough to feed 4-5) and we really enjoyed it. The fish was fresh and they were generous with the amounts of food. What makes this combo great is that you can pick 3 of their specialty rolls to boot on top of the sushi and sashimi and their rolls are just simply delicious. The nami roll, spicy king crab and volcano roll were all beyond my expectations. We also tried their spicy tuna crispy rice which was really surprisingly good as well - on par with much higher priced restaurants. Hamachi kama was also fresh and cooked to perfection. Staff here is very welcoming and prices IMO are pretty cheap for the quality and quantity. Hard to say there's a better value in the area. Thumbs up.

    I wish I could give more stars. Best sushi in the area by a longgggg shot!!! Place is small but feels homey. Servers and owners are supernice and, again, i'm still daydreaming of our dinner. The combo with sushi, sashimi and 2 special rolls for 2 is totally worth it.

    I absolutely LOVE, SUSHI KAIYO! Not only do they have the BEST sushi on LONG ISLAND (I've tried all the big names) but truly this family owned business is why I come back each and every week. I am a consistent regular at sushi KAIYO for the last 2-3 years. They have the freshest sushi nigiri I've ever tasted at an unbeatable price. I usually order the sushi deluxe which comes with 10 sushi nigiri (omakase style - which is always an amazing selection) and a delicious fresh tuna roll and a soup! My personal favorite is their mushroom soup which has an amazing umami flavor. Some must try rolls are the genji roll, shiro roll, and tiger roll. I love their seared rolls! Our favorites are also the Salmon Bento Box Dinner which brings shumai, California roll, soup, salad and tempura appetizer. Also, their spicy rolls have big chunks of fresh fish so you will not get disappointed unlike other places that serve tempura filled spicy rolls. The online ordering system is great and has never failed. It is always ready at the time I've selected. This is a small yet MIGHTY restaurant. It feels homey and authentic like a great restaurant should feel! You will love the food and will fall in love with the family!

    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.

Can't get enough! Spicy is indeed spicy. I love it. Bamboo shoots in this look way different than what I'm used to. I believe they don't get this stuff out of a can. It's fantastic! 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. I need this in my life on the daily. The restaurant is very cozy. Online ordering was easy. Food prepared in a very reasonable amount of time. 100% happy. And stuffed. If you got to the bottom of this.... Hurry up get your tail over there and try some!
