    Spicy Kani Roll Spicy Crunchy Tuna Roll

    Favorite sushi spot! Sushi is always fresh and the poke bowls are always amazing! The lunch special is a great deal.

    Inside
    Jayden D.

    Nice small and inexpensive sushi shop tucked a bit away from Queens Blvd with just enough room for seating. The sushi is spot on. Nice fresh, delicious taste to it along with the complimentary soy sauce, Wasabi and pickled ginger. For the lunch special they do give you a choice between miso soup and salad. I opted for the salad since I've already had miso soup many times over with my sushi, but I should have stuck with the soup. No knock on the salad but I was not a fan of the dressing they had on it, rendering the salad flavorless. I won't factor it into my scoring because the sushi was done and plated well plus the service was very accommodating.

    Yellow Spicy Yellowtail Roll

    Honestly the spicy yellow tail roll is so simple but amazing... I could eat 20 of them. I should've ordered 2 orders.

    Miso Soup

    Sometimes I wonder why I keep trying sushi spots in Queens and expecting them to be anything other than mediocre. It seems as though unless you pay for an expensive omakase experience, you will undoubtedly be disappointed. It's the only cuisine that I've had in Queens that is very subpar to what I've experienced in Manhattan and Brooklyn. For almost any other cuisine, I would choose Queens in a heartbeat. I visited A Sushi for lunch recently while waiting for my brother to get a hair cut down the street. It's obvious that this is a take out spot, which is fine, but I figured I would treat myself to a lunch special since I had time to kill. I ordered a three roll combo with miso soup. The service was good and the food came out quickly; however, the rolls tasted like day old sushi from Stop and Shop. The rice was cold and on the harder side, and the fish didn't really seem fresh. The avocado was at least the perfect level of ripeness, but that was the only positive. The miso soup was not as flavorful as I would've liked, but that was to be expected given the overall experience. This place seems to have good reviews and perhaps it's became there aren't better sushi places around that area, but it surprises me that this place can survive on Austin Street given the many other food options in the immediate vicinity.

    Eel Sauce, Soy Sauce, and Spicy Mayo
    Brie F.

    On a whim to find decent sushi while I was in the FoHi area I came across A Sushi via Yelp. The reviews were decent so I gave it a try. I placed an order for takeout which took about 10 mins to make. I'm not sure how this was a sit-down restaurant prior to COVID-19. There's absolutely no breathing room. A Sushi reminds me of another quaint sushi spot named, Sushi Time. I order the Two Roll Lunch Special which comes with either a soup or house salad. I ordered two Spicy Kani Rolls with a House Salad. I also asked for Eel Sauce & Spicy Mayo on the side. I'm not a fan of tobiko nor ginger so I asked for them not to be included with my meal. The rolls were fresh and exactly what I needed. I did not like that the wasabi was not separated from the rolls. The wasabi ended up on the side of the rolls which I was not too fond of. I prefer to add my wasabi to the eel sauce so I can control the spice level. Also they could given me more eel sauce than the little bit that I received.

    Salmon Lover (take-out)
    Harris L.

    It's great that A Sushi has been open during the Covid-19 quarantine, for take-out or delivery only. This small joint is a very good local option for basic sushi and sashimi. The sushi and sashimi that we've had here -- which have included sushi rolls, and the "Salmon Lover" and "Sushi & Sashimi for 2" entrees -- have been fresh in taste and texture, and reasonably priced (especially so for the sushi rolls during lunch hour). During the Covid-19 quarantine, A Sushi allows only one customer in the restaurant at a given time. However, the ability to order online via the Yelp app in addition to via telephone makes it easy to minimize interaction. On the occasions I arrived early for pickup, staff brought my food out to me while I waited outside. I'd recommend picking up sashimi orders instead of opting for delivery when ordering with miso soup. I recommend the miso soup (an above average interpretation) over the salad, but hot soup may warm the sashimi when they are packaged together. I hope the restaurant considers separating sushi / sashimi from hot items in future orders.

    Salmon lover special
    Lillian L.

    Needed a serious sushi fix during quarantine and my favorite joint was still closed. With the help of Yelp, found this place open, with good reviews. Ordering was quick and easy with Yelp Online ordering and pre-pay. This place has suddenly become one of my favorite sushi places in these troubling times. So delicious and fresh, the meal was able to transport me to memories of better times. Ordered the all salmon special for $20, which has 6 pieces sashimi, 4 pieces sushi and 1 spicy salmon roll. Also got the lunch special of any 3 rolls of your choice for $11.50 plus soup or salad. Everything was delicious and fresh. Nice sized salmon sashimi was deliciously fresh and silky smooth. My tongue danced with joy! This meal really hit the spot! Nice sized portions and reasonably priced. Looking forward to going back soon and trying other dishes.

    American Sashimi
    Tiffany C.

    I ordered for a pickup- stepped into the store and literally no one acknowledged me for a good 5 minute. It was awkward because they see me but probably only one person was "working" ... the rest were on the phone, sitting on the chair and minding their own business. After a bit, the main guy saw me and then asked me what my pickup order code was. I ordered the American sashimi entree. Wasn't too impressed. The rice was not flavorful and it was soo piping hot, it didn't work well with the sashimi. There were 18 pieces of sashimi and not the freshest but wasn't bad either. The salad was a little wilted so I threw that away. Overall probably would not come again.

    3 Rolls Lunch Special (Spicy tuna, tuna avocado, salmon avocado)
    Catherine Y.

    I was really excited to get sushi again but when I called in the order, the girl who answered the phone was rude and hung up on me mid-sentence when I was asking how long it would be. Besides that, there was definitely a different sushi chef than the last time I ordered. They may look similar however the skills are definitely different. The rice was rolled uneven and the rice was way too mushy. Even the size between the cuts of fish and avocado were uneven as well. If you look at the spicy tuna, the tuna and the spicy sauce is not mixed evenly. However, the fish still tasted fresh but due to the rude service (good thing she wasn't there when I went to pick up the order) and the sad sushi skills, this order can only warrant two stars. Who needs the aggravation when spending hard earned money on food?

    3 roll lunch special
    Eva Z.

    Not sure what happened to this place but the quality has gone downhill. I used to order from this place a lot but the last few times I've ordered from here, the sushi was just bad. The fish did not look or taste fresh at all. I got a yellowtail roll and the fish was so stringy and was light brown in color. For reference, yellowtail is supposed to be white/pinkish in color. The most recent order, the rice was extremely wet and mushy. It was like a rice paste that was slathered onto the seaweed. I couldn't even finish my sushi because it just tasted so gross. I don't know how they can serve that to customers. I tried to give them many chances because I understand there could be off days, but I can't keep wasting my money on extremely low quality sushi

Instead, I was served a cheeseburger with french fries, which was completely different from what I ordered. When I brought this to the staff's attention, the response was dismissive and argumentative, rather than focused on resolving the issue. Rather than escalate the situation, I chose to leave. Although I had already paid, I did not feel comfortable staying or continuing the conversation. This was especially disappointing because I have been a loyal customer for years, long before the new ownership. I used to visit frequently, and even now, I go out of my way, often 40 minutes, to come here when I am in Queens dropping off my kids. As someone who does not eat cheeseburgers, receiving that order was both frustrating and avoidable with basic attention to detail. I truly hope the new management takes steps to improve both service and communication moving forward. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I will not be returning. This is coming from a person that has been coming to this place for years. It's sad.
