    Entrance

    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!

    Incredibly - always good- the place, food, flavors, presentation, friendly service! Dropped in for lunch on a freezzzzzing day... Ty Muskan for your recommendations and smile. Chef's concontions are delectable. Kudos to a chef and his team

    Sushi pizza seared tuna & avocado sashimi with a spring mix & avocado salad.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Chicken momo
    Sudeep U.

    I visited this place after a long time. They served delicious foods during my last visit. So wanted to give this place a try again. Started with their butter tea, which was awesome. For those who are unfamiliar with butter tea , it's the drink of the people in the Himalayan region of Nepal, Bhutan , Tibet. It's made from tea leaves, butter , water, and salt. Next, I tried Wai Wai sadheko . It was awesome. Their gyathuk is also good. Momo was good. The only complaint I have is that they only have spicy sauce for the momo. I wish they would serve other sauce behind spicy for the momos. Overall, the food served here is very delicious. I will definitely visit next time and try their sushi and other foods.

There were yellowtail, eel and California rolls. Yellowtail was my favorite. They also had a crab salad with imitation crab and was a kick from siracha. Also they had fried chicken, a jalapeño crab on rice crackers, as well as a dumpling. Everything was yummy so don't mind coming back to try a sit down dinner. Unfortunately too busy to take pics of the food but managed to take pics of the space b4 everyone showed up.

It was three oysters, similar to Crown Shy except I wasn't a huge fan of the flavoring here. The nigiri sauce didn't really elevate the flavor of the oysters much as they're already a slightly salty food and a soy sauce sort of just added more salt to it. I think a bit more kick was needed to enhance the flavor profile. The handroll set was pretty good, I liked the spicy tuna the best, then the salmon and then the yellowtail the least. In order, I'd probably give the spicy tuna a 9/10, salmon 8/10 and yellowtail 7/10. However, the tiramisu was fantastic, one of the best tiramisus I have had, creamy, good notes of coffee flavor and wasn't overly sweet. Our server was also very friendly, she showed us how to properly eat the handrolls which was nice. The place also has a nice vibe to it, very relaxing and not too loud or overly grand.

We are very familiar with the area and must have walked passed this neatly tucked away gem without ever noticing it. Our son had mentioned that he and his friends have been going to a sushi place near Asian Jewel, our former dim sum go to place. When we sat down to order, my wife and I were quite impressed by how clean and cozy the restaurant was. Kind of on the small side with a few tables on the ground floor level. The menu offered cooked food as well as fresh sushi. We decided to start with the sushi & sashimi combo. They also offered a sushi or sashimi a la carte menu where you can choose to order by the piece. I believe that if you choose one of their standard menu sushi or sashimi orders and pay with cash, the a la carte price per piece of sushi / sashimi is only $1.35 / piece! Well we were famished and in addition to the sushi & sashimi plate we ordered two rounds of sushi & sashimi a la carte. Their salmon and yellow tail was so fresh and so scrumptious as was the sweet shrimp. The tuna was also very yummy and did not disappoint! When all was said and done we were quite happy with our experience with Yoi Sushi Japanese. I highly recommend Yoi if you're anywhere near Tangram Mall or Asian Jewel and have a hankering for yummy sushi. They also offer cooked food as well as ramen bowls.

The shrimp tempura roll has the perfect amount of breading and the salmon tastes fresh! The interior is clean and I love the decor. I believe they have an upstairs seating area too.
