    I have only eaten sushi and momos here so that's what I'm reviewing. Sushi is OKAY. Put together kind of sloppy, shows that the chef isn't very experienced. It's also very overpriced for the quality that you get. Chicken momo was delicious! The hot sauce doesn't have much flavor but the inside was juicy, flavorful and packed with Tibetan spices.

    Service is friendly although there is a language barrier the lady is very nice and tries to answer all questions. It's a laid-back casual atmosphere. It's dimly lit but you dint feel blind. The food is clean, simple and tasty. The momos take a long time to come out but it's worth the wait. The beef momos were juicy and the meat was nice. The momo itself was a good consistency not being too thick or chewy. The Szechuan noodles were spicy even ordered mild but it was a spice that tingles your tongue. I really enjoyed them. The chicken in the noodles could be better. It was crispy and didn't feel meaty more like a chewy shell. The soup was soothing. I like that it wasn't salty and it was comforting. The meat in it could have been more tender. I wish they added more vegetables to it like carrots. It only came with bok choy. The steamed broccoli is nice. It is pricey but steamed well abd they give a lot. The food is filling and tasty. I like mixing the soy sauce and the hot sauce in the squirt bottle together. Mera's Tip: more momos

    Tuna avocado salad - the winner!

    Dropped into Tibetan Japanese after my usual sushi spot was closed for renovations -- and honestly, I might have just found another new favorite spot. Jackson Heights NEVER disappoints, and this place fits right into the vibe: cozy, unpretentious, no fuss, warm, and quietly confident in what it does. The name alone piqued my curiosity, and the menu backs it up. I was looking for sushi and they have a healthy list of solid Japanese options, along with Tibetan dishes that I am unfamiliar with besides momos but now definitely interested in trying more of. Enjoyed: * Sushi pizza --a tuna and avocado seared sashimi, with a spring mix & mango salad. * Spicy tuna and salmon avocado rolls * Tonkatsu platter -- what looked like 3 & a half crispy, & flavorful cutlets, with a side cup of steamed white rice. * Sha Bhakleb --Tibetan deep-fried beef/chicken patties-- think empanadas, and yeah, I'd come back just for these. * Tonkatsu bento box -- typical bento: tonkatsu serving, steamed white rice, 4-piece California roll, deep fried Tibetan spring roll & deep fried veggie dumplings. Service was spot-on. Staff was warm, attentive, and made a point to double-check dietary restrictions, which I really appreciated. A full glass liter bottle of chilled water --loved it. The food hit the table inside of 15 minutes, and every dish was perfect. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made well, with care. No gimmicks, solid food with great energy. Whoever is doing the deep fry is a master at it. Master. This is a laid-back spot full heart with no-nonsense, no-disappointment on delivery. Worth being on anyone's list of haunts in Jackson Heights.

    We visited here during the 12th annual momo crawl to try their mom's of course. Stations were set up outside so we did not go into the establishment nor look at a menu. We tried a beef and a veggie Momo.both were very good and served with a slaw which was light, refreshing, and palette cleansing. I would come back again.

    Pork chilly

    3.5 stars Wanted to try Tibetan food and the Japanese menu was good for the others in the group. Would be helpful if there were descriptions for all the menu items bec I had to google some of them. Seems like most dishes I wanted to try were spicy but we asked to be made mild or no spice. Anyway, chili on the table. Cheley khatsa - tender tongue slices, sauteed with bell peppers and onions. Pork chilly - sauteed sliced pork pieces with similar veggies as tongue dish. Opted for dry as recommended which was good, instead of with sauce. Tasty with mild spice. Mango lasse at $3.50 is good esp when eating spicy food. Dinner bento box and tonkatsu entree are big servings and are worth the price. White laphing is rice jelly-like with chickpeas and chili toppings, in a watery liquid. Waitstaff said it was a soup but a bit spicy for me so just ate the pieces. Didn't expect Phing sha to be a soup (so not as described on menu). Beef is a little chewy, with potatoes, spinach, mushrooms and bean thread noodle. Mild broth. Similar to a filipino soup dish called Nilaga which I already make it at home. Ramen noodle soup was bland. Beef was chewy as well. Steamed beef Momos are good with the chili sauce. Service is great. Very casual eatery. A little bit dark in the indoor dining area. Has 2 outdoor areas but not when it's cold or rainy.

    Vegetable momos
    Michelle C.

    Found this little spot in Jackson heights in the mix of all the million places to eat in the area. I ordered their vegetable momos, sushi pizza, and yellowtail sushi rolls. The momos were delicious, they had spinach and cheese inside. The sushi pizza was super tasty, it had spicy salmon, jalapeños, spicy Mayo, rice and seaweed. The yellow tail rolls were a little plain but still tasty. The place is not aesthetically the best but the food makes up for it.

    Chilly chicken momos

    We came here to try Tibetan Momo's not japanese food. We had steam chicken Momos they were ok good flavor, the sizzling momos was much better than steamed it is nice and spicy sauce, and spicy chilly chicken it was OK, later found out that the dry chilly chicken is much better.

    Dragon roll & Naruto roll

    3rd time here, got the salmon poke bowl last night. The servings were too big for us. It was pretty spicy too. The pork contains rice, salmon, cucumber, carrot, mushroom, seaweed salad. Besides the spicy was, it was pretty decent. The time I can before that, we got sushi rolls which were decent as well, don't remember which type since it's been a yr. My friend also got dumplings. The food took awhile to serve which the server informed it'd take.

    Sizzling momo
    Alina H.

    This has been on my radar for a while and on a rainy cold night it seemed like the perfect choice for sizzling momo and authentic Tibetan soup. The menu had a good variety of both Tibetan and Japanese food, but we only had food off the Tibetan menu. Everything was served steaming hot and fresh. We ordered the spicy fried rice, sizzling momo (chicken), and the Then Thug soup. The soup was most definitely a star for me, but the momo had my partner's heart. We also ordered the butter tea was which was different for us both and although not a personal favorite I could tell it was popular among patrons.

    I Ordered takeout from there on New Year's Eve . I ordered a whole bunch of stuff on the menu from both the Japanese side and the Tibetan side .to begin, I think it would be a great idea to number each item on the menu so non Tibetans can actually order in ease without spelling out every letter of the Tibetan dish... it was kinda annoying and time consuming going back and forth confirming whether I got the right order or not . Also asking the lady asked me to pay over the phone even tho i told her that I am picking up and demanded that I give her my credit card number over the phone . I had to run inside to swipe my card risking getting a parking ticket because I was parked on a hydrant. All because she wouldn't put in the order if i don't pay first . I asked the lady how long and she said 30-40 mins ... I thought to myself that's awefully long for a pickup order but ok . I went in after 20 mins just to see if the food is ready and there it is. My food was waiting there for who knows how long ...they could have called me to let me know the food is ready so the food doesn't get cold. Now I got the food and drove off . Thank goodness I didn't get a ticket parking at a hydrant . About 3 blocks away , I got a phone call from the restaurant saying I left a bag of food at the restaurant... I said what do you mean I LEFT my food there. u never gave it to me .. now I am super annoyed since I was already extremely hungry and everyone is waiting for me to come home with food aside from no parking avail to Even go and get the food . The server was apologetic and came out to drop off the food. Now the food part. I ordered the sushi sashimi combo deluxe. The first thing I notice is how thin they cut the fish . I paid 49.99 for it and i am pretty much getting half of what I am supposed to get. One of the shrimp sushi is missing a piece of the shrimp ...I also got this card then thug. It's basically flat noodle soup with beef. Not sure I will ever go back after this experiment.

This was my first time at their Flushing location and this time, we ordered a la carte. You order on the iPad which has its pros & cons but overall was pretty simple. Their appetizers are well-priced and good portions at ~$6 each for the Edamame, Seaweed Salad, and Kani Salad. Their Seaweed Salad is delicious and is a must for me with sushi. The Kani Salad was also great but I'll probably try the spicy one next time for more flavor. The Yellowtail Jalapeño was fresh, bright, and slightly spicy. We got the Party Box which was perfect for sharing. Everything was beautifully presented, tremendously fresh, and full of flavor. My only complaint was that it wasn't served all together which I would've preferred and would've been a nicer presentation. The reason Akino is my favorite is their rice portion & fish quality! They don't try to overstuff you with carbs, their rolling technique is expert, and the fish is unbeatably fresh and good quality. All the rolls we got were delicious; I honestly can't pick a favorite and would get all 4 again. Amazing dinner!

The Spicy Tuna and Yellowtail were standouts, while the Bay Scallop and Lobster were especially delicious and flavorful. Every handroll was beautifully prepared. I am looking forward to trying the omakase next time. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and beautiful decor. Highly recommend!

    We chose the Premium Omakase at Wabi Nori and, while much of the sushi was fresh and good quality,…read morethe overall experience unfortunately didn't live up to what we expected from a premium omakase. The biggest disappointment was the lack of variety. There was no shrimp, and instead of something warm and traditional like miso soup, we were served edamame. Edamame is perfectly fine as a casual appetizer, but in a premium omakase experience, it felt more like filler than part of a thoughtfully curated progression. Another thing noticeably missing was the presentation and artistry. A true omakase experience is not only about the quality of the fish--it's also about the chef's touch, attention to detail, and the presentation of each course. Here, the plating felt basic and lacked that refined, personal touch from the omakase chef that makes each piece feel special. We also felt somewhat rushed throughout the meal, which takes away from what makes omakase enjoyable. It should feel like a carefully paced culinary experience, not simply a sequence of sushi being served quickly. The service was good and much of the fish quality was solid, but nothing really stood out or surprised us. Most importantly, after choosing the Premium Omakase, we actually left hungry, which was probably the most disappointing part. We've enjoyed omakase experiences from New York to California, including excellent ones at higher price points, so we understand what a more expensive omakase can offer. Beyond fresh fish, we look for variety, creativity, beautiful presentation, thoughtful pacing, and that unmistakable chef's touch that turns dinner into an experience. And unfortunately, the meal ended with two particularly disappointing pieces. We were served a fake crab meat sushi that we found awful, something we simply did not expect as part of a Premium Omakase. The eel was equally disappointing--it was missing the rich, distinctive flavor and character that makes eel such a memorable part of a sushi experience. Wabi Nori has potential, but the Premium Omakase needs more variety, substance, creativity, stronger presentation, and greater attention to the individual pieces before it truly feels premium. Three stars: good service and some good-quality sushi, but for a Premium Omakase, we expected considerably more--especially from the food, presentation, and overall experience.
