Solid sushi at affordable prices. I mostly get takeout from here but stopped for lunch since I was in the area. Ambiance in here is very casual and small, there were a couple of tables in here for lunch but for the most part to go orders were being picked up and sent out. My waitress was friendly and available. I ordered a miso soup, green tea, a salmon avocado roll and yellowtail scallion roll. All were tasty, especially the sushi which was extremely fresh and melted in my mouth. Total for all this came to $17 and change before tip, which I think is pretty good all things considered. If you're in need of a new to-go sushi spot (or casual dine in sushi spot), I'd definitely recommend giving Bai sushi a try. All of the delivery orders I've placed here have been correct and come within a reasonable amount of time, too. read more

One of the most reliable spots in the neighborhood for quick, reasonably priced and yummy sushi. I went on a Thursday night and had no problem getting a table. Service was polite and quick, and the space was small but cozy: definitely a "neighborhood joint" vibe, not an "elevated eatery" vibe. I got the Chef's Special, which was really good. The nigiri was kind of long and delicate, but the fish was fresh, tasted clean and was not slippery or slimy (the way the fish at some other Japanese restaurants in Astoria are). This is the one-button rice cooker of sushi restaurants: it won't make you weep in blissful exultation, but it's good, it's convenient, and it's there for you no matter what. read more

Bai Sushi - D6. Chef Special II - Sushi Bars Near Me - Astoria, New York

Friend suggested this place since she came here before and said the sushi was good. We came just in time for their lunch special (Monday - Saturday and ends at 3:30pm). We both got the chef combo 2 that came with 6 piece sashimi (2 tuna, 2 salmon, and 2 something that I can't remember), 3 pieces of sushi and 3 piece tuna and 3 piece salmon roll. It was reasonably priced at $15.50. It also comes with a soup or salad. Place is small and looks like a mom and pop shop. Cozy vibes and good service. Sushi was not bad and tasted pretty fresh but nothing too special. Nothing that blew taste buds. Portion feels kinda small, I was still feeling pretty hungry after. Feels more like a neighborhood restaurant not a restaurant I would travel for. read more

My go to sushi restaurant in Astoria. It's a small business, one block away from my home and I always order take out from here I highly recommend you try their Buffalo roll- spicy tuna, papaya, mango and masago roll for only $8 that's a steal. I love spicy tuna and fruits and they go really well together. Eel sashimi is a must. Salmon teriyaki box delicious with sauce on the side Fried green tea ice cream so good. I order to go and they make it when I get there so it doesn't melt 2nd favorite- Nabe udon SO SO good. The broth and the vegetable and tempura it comes with, warms your soul. Surprisingly I have never eaten there. Will try one day! Service is great:) always greeted with a smile. read more

It wasn't good , atleast the portion I ate until I found a huge hair in the ginger. I called asking for a partial refund and that I was willing to send the photo but she said not necessary and gave me a ten dollar credit for next time... in which I told her I wouldn't be returning. read more

Solid sushi place that's not too far from my apartment. Nothing fancy or anything that knocked my socks off, but we were satisfied. They get bonus points from me for having a veggie roll on their menu that includes tofu in it (I appreciate being able to get a little protein in a vegetarian roll). Boyfriend was satisfied with his tuna avocado and salmon cucumber rolls (the latter of which was not on the menu but they happily made upon request). Our server was very nice while taking our orders, and refilled our glasses of water many times. We were there on a slightly earlier side for a Saturday evening, so it wasn't too crowded. The dining area is on the small side - I can imagine it being quite cramped when full. read more

We've ordered takeout from Bai Sushi twice now. Unfortunately, it's hard not to automatically compare similar items to other places that we've ordered from. We recently became fans of rolls with scallop in them so we figured we'd try that out here as well. We ordered the following: the spicy scallop roll, spicy tuna roll, salmon avocado roll and the sashimi deluxe with salad. I'll start by saying by bf enjoyed the sashimi and felt it was pretty solid. There was good variety for sure (I think they advertise it as 21 pieces) though I noticed they counted pieces of imitation crab, and tamago (egg) as part of this as well. For the rolls, my opinion was that it tasted average. Nothing tasted off (so this wasn't about freshness). The salmon avocado roll was pretty normal, somehow the spicy tuna roll didn't quite measure up to spicy tuna I've had from other spots (might just be my preference) and the spicy scallop roll was not as good as the scallop roll we'd had from the other place that we loved. So I admit, my main issue is with the rolls and how they don't measure up to other spots I've ordered from. That said, it sounds like the sashimi was good so I can't speak to other menu items. read more

I was in Astoria to see a friend and was in the mood for sushi. I stumbled upon this place and it was great! Fresh fish, low prices. Always a great sign! The service was great, with kind waiters and quick preparation time. It's just a small, hole in the wall-ish sushi place, nothing fancy. But it's delicious! read more

Good place to leave you satisfied when you're craving sushi. Definitely got my fix and I'll definitely say that the fish was fresh and tasty. Started with a spicy miso soup and for a person who's pretty tolerant with spice levels, this was pretty spicy! Nice seasoning also but a little salty. Still was pretty delish! For appetizer I had the Karadori Tempura, fried tempura pieces of chicken basted with a nice sweet and spicy sauce. Topped with sesame seeds and green onion. It was pretty crispy, hot & yummy! For sushi option I ordered the Rock & Roll tempura.. think of it as a California and Shrimp tempura roll together, very very good. Four stars because as mentioned this is your standard and lunch time or casual dinner kind of place. Ambience is pretty clean but casual also. Waitress was kind of urgent in her demeanor who asked if I was ready for my check while I was still chewing lol. But nonetheless, you can't go wrong with quality of food for price ratio here! read more

Great neighborhood sushi restaurant for quick dinner, but not the best place for a date! Service is excellent, great value for its price!

Great place to order sushi! Efficiently prepared. Good quality food, friendly service, reasonable prices and clean restaurant all in one.

These portions and prices are not right, even my New York standards. For what you pay for, you get way too little. I ordered a salmon teriyaki lunch special and got TWO tiny pieces of salmon. Of course they were generous with the teriyaki sauce, but I ordered a salmon teriyaki not a order of teriyaki with a side of salmon. Don't get me started on the sushi. I ordered a tuna avocado roll which would cost $3-$4. Here it cost over $5. I don't plan on visiting again. read more

Good I had delivery- an had there tempura shrimp and veggies , salmon wrapped in seaweed and cucumber, miso and edamame.

I work next door and this is my spot to order lunch or dinner if I haven't cooked. It's great and the neighborhood seems to love it just as much. Friendly staff. read more

This place is what I consider lunch time sushi - where you get standard rolls for a good price. Their rolls definitely come in at $$ where a lot of other places in Astoria are $$/$$$ especially at dinner time. I treat this place like - "I want quick, no frills basic rolls, to eat by myself" joint versus, "getting sushi on a night out with people." I've been doing a lot of the latter lately but next time you want something quick and a lot of $5 roll options, stop by. read more

We pass by this place so many times and never thought to try it because it just looked like a low quality restaurant, but we definitely found it to be much more than that. Being a big fan of omakase and sushi, trying out all the spots and knowing what they offer is top priority. I can't have omakase all the time, especially with the price tag attached to it, but Bai Sushi is the place that you can go to every week without breaking the wallet. I love the fact that they have Cali uni along with other special items. Their sushi (rolls, sashimi and other items) are so fairly priced that a la carte is a go to without the need of purchasing extra rolls just to fill up on which I feel is common when it comes to Japanese sushi for many. They offer a lunch menu with affordable prices everyday which is a surprise that Saturday is included as well. Staff is super friendly, definitely one of the new favorite neighborhood finds. read more

Stopped by Bai Sushi after a yoga class last week. Prices were reasonable for the lunch specials and I got the Chef Combo I. Service was great and the food was made in a timely fashion. In terms of quality of food, the salmon and tuna were fresh. However, I wasn't as impressed by the sushi rice. For some reason it just tasted a bit harder than your typical sushi rice. Perhaps it might have been an off day so I would consider coming by again. read more

Ordered delivery via Uber Eats, and was left disappointed especially after seeing this restaurant had 4 stars on Yelp (at the time of this review, at least). The rice across all of the sushi that we ordered did not taste or have the right texture of sushi rice; it was hard and wasn't well-seasoned. The grain also appeared longer than typical sushi rice. We had ordered a spicy tuna roll, and the fish itself seemed like it was blended to a paste with the spicy mayo, leaving the texture incredibly mushy. The same could be said about the yellowtail scallion roll. I've never experienced yellowtail being cut into a very small dice, which ruined the texture of the fish, which was upsetting because it did taste fresh. The two stars come solely from the few pieces of nigiri sushi we also ordered (yellowtail, red clam, spicy scallops). Had high hopes for this spot, but was left unsatisfied. read more

Conveniently located on Broadway, this was the first sushi place I tried in my neighborhood when I first moved here 9 years ago. And I pretty much keep coming back. Their quality is consistently good & price range is excellent (especially their lunch specials) compared to the other options nearby (sushi from the Greenmarket grocer's? Thai restaurants? Sunrise take-out Chinese?- although great Chinese take-out- not where I want sushi). I only resorted to these places on Sundays, when I don't want to cook but forgot that Bai is closed:( I usually get the tuna rolls, California, salmon, eel, or Big Bai Special Rolls, like the Dragon or Rainbow Roll. One of these can easily fill you up. There seems to have been an arty change in presentation of the food that I appreciate. & the rolls are always generously portioned, you don't feel ripped off for a sliver of cucumber in your roll or something. The staff is Super Nice! The space is tiny but clean & bright, no frills. There's pretty lanterns that hang & a giant thank you card from a local school with messages from the kids thanking the chef for showing them how to make sushi. The waitstaff is Korean..not sure if the owners are too- but you know, Korean cuisine has sushi actually & lots of fish- so I'm cool with that. The owners of the sushi place in my old neighborhood were Korean also. read more

Another Japanese restaurant that I frequent regularly due to its proximity from work. This place is one of my favorite. Everything here is decent. The size of the restaurant in itself is arguably small but pristine. As a sushi and sashimi lover I know that it is fresh. There are varieties of lunch special combo to choose from including bento boxes, sushi and sashimi platters. They post the "daily specials "on the wall. Try not to miss it when you visit. The service here is super fast. Staff are attentive and friendly. read more

First time at Bai sushi and we are very impressed! They have a great menu with huge selections of combos - and it was refreshing to see the spicy version of some of these combos, which we ended up ordering. The spicy California roll was delicious! The service was very attentive - they got our green teas rolling through out the whole night and they were very kind with us over all. The ambiance was relaxed with low volume chill music: just what we needed for a great conversation. We will be back! read more

I Love bai sushi! Its a really small shop with a sushi expertise vibe. The sushi chef is right in front of you. The place is small and feels really quaint. I love that they have lunch specials, which I should really take more advantage of. The prices are pretty good too.

Happened to be in the area and decided to check this place out because I was craving sushi. I've had sushi many times, many many times. I've had good sushi, I've had bad sushi, but I've never had Bai Sushi before. Until today Didn't go in expecting much seeing that it looked like your typical sushi restaurant. Ordered the Bai Special 2 which was like 21 pieces of sushi, and several rolls. Man, the quality was great. Tuna, Salmon, Shrimp were so fresh I could hear them still swimming in the ocean. Ordered rock shrimp, okonomiyaki, and our special. All were fabulous. The male server was very polite and kind. Great service doesn't come often, but great service is always remembered when it comes. read more

Haven't ordered here in a long time because the last time we ate there it was horrible. Just placed an order via Uber eats. Promo was running spend $30 save $15. Now I realized why they do these promos. All the good restaurants never do. Ordered 3 rolls and 2 cans of soda. Received an alert that there has been a $5 charge for unknown reasons. So basically I added cream cheese to my disgusting, small and soggy shrimp tempura roll. $1 extra. Supposedly for doing that they somehow justify a $5 price increase? Are they ok? So now my Uber service fee and taxes went up as well. Best part is that when the sushi arrived they didn't even add the cream cheese! Unbelievable that this place is still open. Please take my advice and just do not waste your money here it's garbage. Worst sushi I had in a long time, I'm praying I won't throw up from this bad food. read more
