    Crispy Rice
    Parteek K.

    Came here for a nice lunch, frequent here a few times a year. Absolutely love the crispy rice, it's quite possibly my favorite out there. The kung pao chicken, beef, and fried rice all blend together so well. It made for an amazing meal. The service really goes back and forth here sometimes it's amazing sometimes it's eh. It really depends. The ambiance however is amazing, perfect for all occasions. Great place to have a lunch when you're on a nice shopping trip.

    Ambiance is great, staff is very friendly and welcoming! I came with my daughter and grandson to meet with other family. As we walked in the music was very loud but upbeat. It was a Thursday night and very crowded. We had reservation but was told they wee running behind. However, we didn't have to wait too long. The food was delicious and it was an amazing experience. We got the edamame dumplings, crispy rice, Wagyu strip and rainbow rolls. Our server was absolutely knowledgeable and helpful. We totally enjoyed our time there. I definitely recommend!

    Toku is a beautiful restaurant located in the Americana Manhasset mall. The decor inside is very modern and elegant. We ordered a few different items from the menu. Started with the Handcut Toku Fries, Kimchee Chinese Broccoli, and the Wok Bok Choy & Shiitake Mushrooms. I enjoyed the Toku Fries and thought the others were okay. The fries came with a wasabi aioli dipping sauce, but I preferred a plain old ketchup with it instead. I ordered the Braised Short Ribs for my main couse. The dish featured blocks of short ribs served with peanut pad Thai noodles. I thought the dish could have used a bit more flavor, and I didn't think the short ribs paired effectively with the noodles. Although the food was okay, given the decor and ambiance of the restaurant, this is an ideal setting for a refined date experience

    Wagyu Steak Frites - 09/16/2025

    The service was phenomenal. Love the sample of matches they leave on the way out. That being said I won't come here again. Yes it is a fancy high end vibe but that is where it ends. Fruit flies everywhere and my food tasted off putting. Especially my ikura sushi. The wagyu steak frites was edible but it had too much cartilage and definitely not worth the $55.00. It's very bad for a restaurant to have fruit flies as that most likely means it is unsanitary in the kitchen. It was not just one fruit fly. It was several.

    My bland soggy salad

    Total waste of money. We never waste food but every entree was terrible. Had to add lime to flavor my soggy Asian salad. My daughter's short rib was dry and overcooked. My son's bento box was uncooked broccoli with four pieces of chicken. OurWaiter, Daniel couldn't be bothered. I had to flag him for more lime, the check. He dropped off the bill and picked it up, never thank you. Had an attitude and look of disdain, like we were a bother. Would've told management, but like Daniel, the two men in suits never bothered to stop and inquire Don't know how such trash food be served at such a ridiculous price

    5/17/25 - Rock Shrimp Tempura & Soft Omelette Shrimp Fried Rice
    Brie F.

    Went on a lunch date to TOKU and left with mixed feelings. First off, the ambiance was beautiful! It gave sleek and upscale. The staff uniforms were polished and professional. Service was friendly and attentive, which set a great tone for the afternoon. What surprised and disappointed me right away was that rice isn't included with entrees. It's a separate charge. That felt a little off for a place in this price range. We ordered quite a bit to sample the menu. We asked for the appetizers and the entrée to be served at the same time. We ordered Lobster Tacos, Rock Shrimp Tempura, Soft Omelette Shrimp Fried Rice, Pacific King Roll, Tenderloin Beef & Broccoli as well as Handcut Toku Fries. To drink, I had the Lychee Martini, delicious and strong. I only needed one and sipped it slowly since I felt a buzz almost instantly. Not sure if it was that good or if I was just really hungry . My friend had the Virgin Pineapple Martini and enjoyed it as well. Food wise was a bit of a rollercoaster. The Pacific King Roll tasted good, but it only came with 6 pieces. My friend was disappointed and said she wouldn't get it again. The Lobster Tacos were tasty but more of a tease than a meal, "just a tickle," as she put it. The Toku Fries didn't live up to the hype for me, they were just okay. The Beef & Broccoli was a generous portion, and the beef was tender, but the flavor didn't quite hit. Honestly, I've had better from a neighborhood spot like Chinitos. Now for the highlight, the Soft Omelette Shrimp Fried Rice. It was a total standout. Perfectly cooked shrimp, soft flavorful rice, and veggies with the perfect bite. Melt in your mouth good. The only downside, you have to order it separately. No rice with entrees still boggles me. Lovely atmosphere, good drinks, some hits and some misses on the food. Worth a visit, but I'd be more selective with my order next time. Rating: 3.5

    Came in to have an early dinner and the place was packed! It is a beautiful restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. The food here is so fresh and delicious. From their fried rice, to their sushi and to their drinks, there is something for everyone here! I love coming here and can't wait to come back!

    One can't NOT visit Toku when in Manhasset, but it is certainly becoming more and more for special occasions only. The food quality has stayed the same for years (amazing) but the prices have been so jacked up it is ridiculous. I recommend getting a drink and splitting a dish at the bar with a friend, the bar staff is super attentive and kind.

    Sunday fun day! Had a wonderful time at Toku. Antonio is an amazing bartender. His drinks are exceptional! Our waiter Milton was wonderful! He's a great conversationalist and provided exceptional service. The food was 10 out of 10 and they were very attentive. Will definitely be back! If you go tell them Ashley sent you.

    Under the same owners as Cipollini, Toku is another great option to eat in the Americana Manhasset. We came here after eating some appetizers at Cipollini, and ordered a few rolls along with sashimi. Really good food coupled with a great vibey atmosphere. The bar gets very crowded at night, but offers a great night out. Service at the table was fair, but would come back anytime I'm in Long Island.

    Went for a late night dinner with another couple on a Saturday, and I couldn't belie how packed out the place was at 10pm. It def has more of a lounge vibe after hours. I've been here years ago for normal dinner time and it was much calmer. The food was delicious as usual. Everything was amazing despite the kitchen being close to closing time. Everything was fresh and delivered on taste. Service from our waiter was fine but not as attentive due to the place being so busy. Overall, would return because the place is beautiful and the food is great! I highly recommend.

Two friends and I went to dinner at Suko Restaurant on Middle Neck Road. When we arrived, I asked if we could sit outside, and the owner had no problem with that. While we were enjoying our meal, one of my friends mentioned that the edamame needed a little more salt. Seeing the owner outside, I politely asked if we could have some salt. To my shock, he suddenly started yelling at me and told me that I was being rude. At first, I thought he was joking, so I responded, "Can you imagine how rude I am to my husband?" His response was completely inappropriate and offensive. He said that if he were my husband, he would slap me on my behind over and over again in a sensual manner and that I would enjoy every moment of it. My friends and I were absolutely stunned. When I asked him to stop and bring us the check, he then said that "you Jews always give me problems." A few minutes later, after I told the waitstaff that I intended to share my experience on GN Mommies, he came over with hot sake to apologize. He even offered to refund our meal, but I declined. I don't want anything from someone who makes hateful remarks about Jews. After living in Great Neck for 40 years, I have never experienced anything like this. As a Jewish resident, I was deeply offended by both the inappropriate sexual comments and the anti-Semitic remark. I will never set foot in this restaurant again.

The restaurant itself was cozy and intimate - it kind of gives you a NYC restaurant kind of vibe which was nice to see on Long Island. I would note that it was freezing out and all the cold air came in when the front door opened. This made it very uncomfortable - I wonder how it is when it's really hot outside. Also, because it is a small restaurant, noise levels could be elevated. Spicy dumpling soup - very good but dumpling had no flavor. Probably store bought. Fluke carpaccio - very good. Some shrimp appetizer - shrimp was small and sauce was almost like a curry sauce. I would pass. Sushi platter - very good. Nigiris are pretty small. This won't fill you up. Grand wazoo roll - this was okay, torched squid was a little tough. Isn't she lovely roll - this was okay. Steak with potatoes and brussels sprouts - not much steak but very tender. Brussels sprouts were nicely cooked. Overall, a good experience especially with the service being top notch. While sitting on the high top worked, it took away from the experience. I would get a regular table or sit at the sushi bar. We were also distracted from the cold air coming in that my wife had to wear her coat. If you like a modern take on sushi, I think you would like this place but if you're looking for something more traditional, I would look elsewhere.

But what missed the mark for me was the "room for improvement" on a few things. The ramen was decent, broth was not packing enough umami for me. The extra noodle portion was ample. Overall the ramen just lacked that oomph factor but it's a decent noodle soup otherwise. The other item was the poke bowl we ordered. It sounded great on the menu but arrived a bit disappointing. The bowl was only half full and skimpy on the rice and ingredients in general. While it offers so many choices and includes a variety of items in three categories - it doesn't justify the portion. I believe you get more at standard poke place. Now onto my sashimi deluxe. It came with a bowl of rice but not with miso soup. I realized it when I got the bill. Many places have entrees that come with soup or salad (my bad for assuming). Overall food was good so no complaints there. I just wished the proportion was to par. On that note, I've ordered from them many times for home delivery and they are very good with packaging and delivery times. Despite my rating on this visit, it's still a solid spot to dine in.

I don't remember how the food was because I don't recall being able to taste anything. Well we've been told we needed to try it so we finally did. Daughter and hubby are big foodies and love steak so we took the plunge. We started with a Caesar salad, tuna tartare and melon prosciutto. The Caesar dressing was thinner than expected so the salad felt it was covered in liquid rather than a dressing. Taste was fine but not necessarily Caesar like. The tuna tartare needed the wasabi sauce to flavor the fish. Favorite app was the Melon with prosciutto. The melon was refreshing and sweet and paired really well with the salty meat. We then ordered the porterhouse for 3 medium rare, baked potato and creamed spinach. I guess we're used to a more buttery and moist steak, the steak temperature was right but hubby and daughter had to salt it which I rarely see them do at high end steak houses. We enjoyed the creamed spinach. Hubby ordered coffee and we shared a pecan pie Ala mode which we finished. All in all I couldn't give 4 stars because I won't choose to return. There was a rotating staff service, dirty appetizer dishes and service was not very attentive. I know people love this place but I just couldn't get there...
