Parking is street parking but it was plentiful on a Wednesday night. The menu had option's; cartel Ones, Brothers de Sashimi , Sushi Maki Roll, teriyaki , bento boxes . We started with edamame .

My frown was turned upside down when I tried my bento box with fish katzu and sashimi with 3 fried rice upgrade ; everything on that plate was delicious ; from the shumai to the sashimi the rice just scrumptious. The waitress was awesome attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We are planning our return so many options a little time.

Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10…read more Ambiance : 9/10 I've been here several times for their regular sushi rolls and appetizers, and they've never disappointed. This review, though, is all about their omakase experience. As always, the service was exceptional. The owner and staff are incredibly welcoming, attentive, and genuinely make you feel like a valued guest. The only reason this wasn't a perfect 10/10 had nothing to do with the restaurant. It's a small, intimate space, and unfortunately another table had a baby who cried throughout much of the meal. Not the restaurant's fault at all, but it's something to keep in mind if you're looking for a quiet omakase experience. Now for the food, the omakase was fantastic. I won't go through every course because part of the fun is the surprise, but what really stood out was the fish-to-rice ratio. Every piece was generously topped with beautifully fresh fish instead of being overloaded with rice, which I absolutely loved. Each bite was thoughtfully prepared, incredibly fresh, and full of flavor. Dessert was another pleasant surprise. Instead of the usual ending you get at many sushi restaurants, they served matcha ice cream topped with sweet red bean paste and pieces of mochi. It was unique, refreshing, and the perfect finish to the meal. Overall, I'll definitely continue coming back, not just for the omakase, but for their regular menu as well. If you're an omakase fan or looking for a quality sushi experience without breaking the bank, this place is absolutely worth a visit.

Pay attention to the 5 star reviews. Those are legit. We go in person because they often give us complimentary appetizers, which have included blue fin, king salmon and others in creative and delicious arrangements. Our favorite menu items include: sushi deluxe, tricolor sushi, heat roll. However, the sashimi is the best part- fatty tuna, yellowtail and salmon are the best. And they've converted me on fluke and kingfish.

As many of you know I am cultured. I'm seasoned. In age and in ethnicity. Lightly seasoned? Sure…read more But seasoning nonetheless? Depends who you ask. Oh Desdemona, how unlucky you were. Oh Yelp, how lucky I am. How lucky I always am. How lucky I was to stumble upon Hawaii Japanese Cuisine on the ever industrious Warburton Ave. Saturday Farmers Market. Meredith's Bakery. Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Bread. If you know you know. Anyways. Out in Waikiki I learned to appreciate Poke. I once appreciated Pokemon. What's Politoed up to these days. Surprisingly, or unsurprisingly depending on your grasp of history, Poke is actually a Hawaiian dish. Japanese inspired, of course, but that's why the name of this spot is quite unique (although not catchy). Catch of the day. Rack of the day. So how'd I get here? You ask? ASK ME. Fine! I'll answer. Calm down, needy much? I'm an active guy. I participate in activities. Typically solo, I'm riding solo I'm riding solo solooooo. Man, just imagine walking down the city streets with a Walkman in blasting Les Miz. The dream. Anyways. I just got back from the island life and I was craving some fresh fish, at a sizable size with some balance of fruit, veggies, sauce and quantity for a beautiful price. And I just so happened to be running myself into the ground at the track in Irvington. Or was it that low-lying track in Hastings. The bees. The bumblebees. Maybe the hornets. It was Irvington. The bulldogs. Grrrrrr. I just ran myself into the ground. Sprints for about an hour. Bad hammy. Few months later tore the calf while calfmaxxing. Probably related. First muscle injury in a spinning dixie, gotta have muscles to injure them? Not really but that's what I'll tell myself. So I rip the farmers market. Then I rip the soosh spot, ordered online. Walked in, handsomely. Very friendly and respectful and nice staff and have been everytime I've gone since. The weight of the food in hand was ridonk so I was optimistic. I also got a few desserts down the road. Some hardbody that was completely eyeing down my grass-fed grass-finished hog at the track was somehow now across the street drinking a protein smoothie. My aura stinks of grandeur, but I avoid it. I'm taken lady. Did she follow me? Gross. What a joke. Really put things into perspective. I'm a fat slob, a professional self sabotager. But I work hard for this fat and that's what makes me a special boy. Hawaii Japanese Cuisine has the best poke in the area. They never let you down. I never let you down. Benvolio. As your voice of reason, I reason you to give it a go. A humble hero in Hastings.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made for a pleasant experience. Parking was convenient, with both street parking and municipal paid lots nearby. As for the food, I thought the sushi was okay. The salmon, scallop and tuna Nigiri were fresh and tasty . They were definitely one bites. The inari was pleasantly sweet, but the rice wasn't packed tightly enough into the fried tofu pocket. The loose, unfilled end made the texture a little off and less enjoyable. The futomaki didn't include the tobiko listed on the menu, which is a typical ingredient in this roll. It also lacked much flavor, so I probably wouldn't order it again. The Unagi was very good. My daughter said I don't eat eel. We also ordered the seafood tempura, which included shrimp, lobster, scallops, and vegetables. The seafood had a light, crisp tempura batter that I enjoyed. The vegetables were less impressive, as the batter was thicker and lacked the delicate, airy texture and crispness in a tempura that which they achieved with the seafood. My daughter ordered the pork katsu curry. The pork was fried nicely and came in a generous portion. The Japanese curry sauce was lighter than what we've had at other restaurants, which she actually preferred. Both entrées were served with miso soup and salad and were good. Most Japanese restaurants you get either or so kudos for giving both. They don't have a full-service bar, but they do offer beer, wine, and sake. Overall, the service and atmosphere were enjoyable, overall I found some bites better than others. The meal was really better than a three but not quite a four too bad you can't give half cause it's definitely a solid 3.5

It's a classic and simple Japanese cuisine owned and run by a Korean mom-pop couple who bought the restaurant from another Korean mom-pop owner/chef duo in the early 2000s. This tiny but mighty restaurant has survived a fire, pandemic and two recessions. In spite of it all, their food and service are always good. I do have to mention that their fried oysters are new on the menu and a bit too briny/oceany for my taste. They also have some sushi pieces with "MP" for market price; be sure to ask what that price is. Our server, while wonderful, did not explain how much the uni was and it was a doozy on our bill ($15 per single sushi piece; not for both as written on the menu so be attentive when you order!) This is a genuinely small business so there are only a few tables and some bar seating. Go when it's not rush hour to avoid crowds. They can get impacted. But the wait is always worth it. Stick to the raw bar. They have good quality fresh fish. Their makis (rolls) are also good if you want something more dynamic and bold but I like just plain raw fish on a bed of sushi rice. The sushi chef here is a veteran sushi chef with decades of experience so it's worth trying if you love sushi. I always enjoy supporting the good old family run small businesses and this one is definitely worth it. Great spot for families, dates, and even solo meals.

A little restaurant just off Route 9W in Piermont that some locals may not even know about…read more We had the chicken teriyaki combo with shrimp and mixed vegetables, as well as the sushi regular with a tuna roll. Both came with soup and salad, and we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary tuna tataki appetizer. We also had the nigiri saki. The food was decent and, importantly, very fair for the price. This isn't high-end Japanese dining, but it doesn't pretend to be - what they charge is reflected in what they serve, and we felt we got good value for our money. I'll keep my memories of my meals in Tokyo and Kyoto separate since as one can imagine, there is no comparison. Our waitress was a real highlight: humorous, polite, attentive, and genuinely respectful. Good service goes a long way. Definitely worth knowing about if you're in Piermont and looking for a reasonably priced Japanese meal close to home.

Everything has been fresh and consistently good. They always bring out complimentary watermelon slices at the end, which is such a sweet and refreshing touch. It really leaves you with a good feeling. Overall, a nice low-key spot for a family meal or a great spot for a quick dinner or lunch.

Tucked away in the beautiful Hudson River village just about…read more20 minutes from the George Washington Bridge (NYC), it's become one of my favorite spots for sushi. What I love most is that the sushi isn't buried under sauces and toppings because it's so tasty, there's no reason to cover it up. The fish is fresh and clean tasting, as sushi should be. Cream cheese on top of sushi? If one sees that on your sushi menu, turn around quickly and dart out the door - it's just a camouflage of the not so recently caught fish. After falling in love with sushi during visits to Kyoto and Tokyo, I'm pretty picky about my fish, and Sabi never disappoints. The restaurant is cozy, with a small sushi bar that makes it perfect for date night or a low key dinner with friends. The sake martinis are excellent, and the service is always friendly and attentive. Doug, the owner and chef, and his elegant wife are wonderful hosts and make everyone feel welcome. Another bonus: they're open on Mondays, which is surprisingly hard to find in the restaurant world of Piermont. If you're looking for fresh, straightforward sushi without all the gimmicks, Sabi is well worth the trip to Piermont.
