    Chiraishi Special Dinner Box

    Still delicious after Mr Suzuki left. Service is as friendly as ever. I'm glad it's still here

    Nora F.

    Suzuki decided to retire and welcome the new Chef, Mr. Yanagi! So glad we can continue eating here because what would we do without Japanese food? Yum yum! The Chef has been handling fish for many years, so he's just as talented as Suzuki-San, but younger. Everything is so fresh, and the fish is happy to be here. Keep the consistency and keep the customers happy! We love it! It's the same place as Suzuki, so it can accommodate about 20-30 people, including the sushi bar. They also offer seasonal specials à la carte! It's awesome! Must-have! Highly recommended!

    The food, atmosphere, and customer service at this restaurant was excellent! I enjoyed my chirashi without salmon and tuna due to food allergies and with salad and Canada Dry ginger ale for dinner.

    Went twice recently, once in person for dinner, once ordered take out during lunch. In person dinner went great, food was delicious. Ordered the chirashi and a Uni don. But the lunch was very disappointing. In my chirashi lunch box, I had not one but two fish scale, plus a white curly hair (or fiber). Somehow I feel like their takeouts are not prepared by the same chef, or I can wrong. I didn't take a photo of the lunch because I was with a friend and didn't want to ruin their lunch too. Now debating if I should go back to support them. On one hand it is very delicious and fresh fish, if you choose to sit down. But on the other hand, the quality of the take out is so poor that I'm really hesitant to go back now.

    Sushi Dinner

    Excellent-quality sushi in a cozy neighborhood setting! Yanagi is continuing the legacy of Suzuki Shokudo, retaining the same vibes and even waitstaff. Once you have the sushi here, it's hard to go back to the lesser quality spots. The fish is delicious. This is a place where you will often hear Japanese being spoken not only by the staff but the customers as well, a sure sign that you are getting authenticity! So happy this spot is open again.

I got the kaarage, shoot potatoes, spicy goma miso, ban ban chicken, taku sando, and a yuzu drink. It was okay but I don't think I'd go back. It didn't have anything that I felt set it apart/did better than any other place Kaa rage Chicken a tiny bit on the dry side. Flavor is good Sauce is great flavor with the micro greens and chicken. Wish there was a bit more of it. Shoot potato Potato texture could be done a bit longer seeing how it was called fried on the menu when it's more like tater sized cut potatoes. Could be a bit softer on the inside. But with the mayo, the texture is actually good the way it is. The potato is pretty bland and the mayo makes up a bit for it but not by much. The mayo isnt my favorite type of flavor so it's kinda just okayish With the nori flavor/furikake and the mayo, it ends up almost tasting and feeling like a fish and chips with white fish Taku sando Yuzu ginger ale. The drink is pretty good ginger ale and yuzu flavor works so good together. But as it sits it doesn't taste as good Spicy goma miso tastes very peanut buttery and creamy Banban chicken ramen also tasty very but buttery. But after that first sip, it loses a lot of flavor.

    UPDATED (for 2 additional visits) - It is our fav ramen spot in LIC/Astoria!…read moreAmbiance (5/5): The establishment has a very sleek interior with an open, welcoming layout. Although close to other tables, when I dined there was no one nearby. There is also bar seating in the front. Service (5/5): I came on a weekend night at 7:30p and there was no wait. Tonkotsu ramen (5/5): Pro move: ask for the thicker noodles (pic is original dish of thin noodles) This was a superb bowl of ramen! The broth is very umami with tons of depth, flavors, and creaminess. Noodles are the straight kind which has a little less bounce than I usually like but still plenty portioned to enjoy. The bowl comes with a lovely half soft boiled egg. The two large pieces of pork char sui were great--tender and flavorful. Reasonably priced bowl at $18 with some additional toppings like wood ear mushrooms, bamboo, green onions, and narutomaki. Definitely coming back here again to try their other bowls!! Pork belly buns (5/5): If you are already getting the pork belly in the ramen, this can be skipped since it's the same meat. However, the sauce was good and the meat is tender. Crab croquette (4/5): It tasted fresh and consistency of a normal croquette-- crunchy on the outside with a softness from potato on the inside. The light panko seasoning was a nice touch. It also comes with a small side of salad. Wagyu (5/5) - thin pieces of wagyu were very fresh and flavorful. The broth feels very soothing and lighter as it was but not as rich as the tonkotsu. I loved the pickled cucumber and cabbage. The thick noodles are perfectly bouncy and chewy. Shoyu Duck (4/5) - Light broth as I did not taste the undertones of duck in the broth.

    Cuisine: 8 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 6 Overall: 7 Ramen shops are everywhere in NYC nowadays. However, most of them are average at best. Looking for a quick bite last week in LIC right in the heart of court square, I found this little restaurant. Walking in, it's quite spacious and nicely decorated. Two of us were seated promptly and given menu and water immediately. After a quick look through, we settled on an appetizer to share and two ramen bowls. The Popcorn Shrimp was unfortunately not made very well. Many of the pieces of shrimps were stuck to each other's batter. It didn't taste horrible, just not preferable. On the other hand, the ramens were made extremely well. The Chicken Paitan Ramen has a savory but clean chicken broth that would be perfect when feeling under the weather. The chicken was super tender and the egg was delightfully yolky, while the chewy noodles were a great match for the dish. With that said, my favorite item of the evening had to be the Toriniku Ramen. It had a rich and deep pork flavor that completely elevates my senses to another level. The pork jowl was thick cut and very delicious. Last but not least, the straight firm thin noodles were the perfect accompaniment. I don't look for ramen as often as I use to any more due to the climbing cost of a bowl of these noodles, this place included. However, if I'm in the mood, and don't feel like trekking to Manhattan, then I may just very well end up here.

I ordered the Dinner sushi combination D - tuna, salmon and white tuna. It came with a not-so-small small garden salad in a decent dressing. One of my table mates got the Bento box with teriyaki salmon and the other got two rolls (Spicy Girl and Cucumber, Avocado, Jalapeño and Scallion). We also ordered a shrimp shumai appetizer (six small, tasty shumai in the serving). Everything was delicious. And the service was outstanding. To be honest, initially we thought we were being rushed because the server came by repeatedly to remove empty plates and the wrappers from our chopsticks - but we quickly realized that this was really extremely attentive and great service. Throughout the meal, our water glasses were refilled numerous times and we were not rushed at all. After our leisurely meal, we ordered a Green Tea Mille Crepe and an order of fresh fruit. The crepe was very good, although the topping of green tea was a bit thick for us and we scraped it off and ate the rest. The fruit was fresh and delicious. We truly felt very welcomed and valued as customers here. We didn't drink anything other than water, so our bill was only about $100 (before tip) for the 2 hours we were there, but even as we left we felt valued by the serving staff and sushi chefs. An excellent meal and experience.

It would've been very easy to miss unless you're specifically looking for this place. Upon entering you're greeted by the numerous Michelin guides lol, front desk seated me pretty shortly after ensuring my seat was set, I was sat at the bar where they have a scan menu. Server immediately was attentive and filled my glass with some water. I was originally going to get the Dashi ramen but after I shared I'm allergic to shrimp the server felt it was a bit risky he was very careful so I appreciated that. I got the Tokyo ramen instead and a side of shishito peppers (he also omitted the Dashi JIC). It was happy hour so the appetizer was $7 I/o $8 and I also got an Asahi draft for $8. Ramen was $22. I was very surprised the server even asked about the oil the pork and peppers are fried in JIC of cross contamination - he shared that they use the same batch of oil as frying tempura (but I was ok with that but just watch out if you're like super super sensitive). Ramen: 7/10, decent bowl but not the best I've had. Feels a bit more Americanized and I prefer authentic Japanese ramen. Soup was rich, flavor but again it's one you can find at many other ramen shops in nyc. Noodle was a bit lackluster it was a bit soggy, not springy like freshly made ramen. The pork slices are flavorful but felt it's bit thin, I prefer a good cut...but personal preference. There's 2 thicker slices of marinated bamboo and half a jammy egg topped with scallions. Decent bowl but don't think it's worth $22. Shishito peppers: nicely fried. Well seasoned. 9/10 Overall - good spot for a decent bowl of ramen in the area. Environment: clean, nothing that caught my attention with design but just minimalist style, with black hard

Service (4/5): There was only one server bustling back and forth. She did a great job in getting orders, refilling waters, and closing out for just her. There were times we had to flag her down. Spicy chicken wings (5/5): Perfect exterior skin crunch with not too much breading. The sauce was light and not overpowering. Deluxe (5/5) and TanTan (5/5) were both very flavorful. Slightly preferred the Tan Tan more because it had a kick and more spice. I requested some extra chili oil for the Deluxe to give it a little more flavor. However, I felt like the broth was too salty. Pork slices were thin was flavored through with not too much fat to the pieces, so it wasn't tender or rich. I love the bounce and chew of the noodles.

However, its tiny dining room often means long wait times and limited seating. The signature chicken paitan broth is slow-cooked for 8 hours to create a rich, creamy, and flavorful milky soup. Locals highly recommend the Kuro ramen (featuring rich black garlic oil) and the Deluxe ramen. They also serve a highly rated Veggie Miso. Appetizers shine here. The Garlic Edamame and Takoyaki are fan favorites, and the Chicken Karaage is a must-try. Authentic and cozy. The space is incredibly small with limited seating and does not offer outdoor dining. Expect long wait times for a table during peak dinner and weekend hours. This food place that offers delicious savory broth paired with springy, bouncy noodles is definitely worth a try.
