    Mango salsa
    Bibi D.

    I've been getting my sushi from here since they opened a few years, and everything is fine. The only gripe i have is if I have to pay extra for mango salsa it should be filled up to the rim. Please do better to fill the mango salsa to the rim. I don't stiff you on your money when I order my food . Thanks

    Chicken and Hibachi Ribeye Steak combo
    Ryan W.

    Decent spot next to the water. Personally, I think it's one of the better tasting hibachis around Howard Beach. Nothing to write home about. Decent sushi menu. However, just your typical dining out. King Kong roll is a must try. Service was good.

    4 stars- I came here on the recommendation of a friend who lives in Howard Beach and comes here regularly. We were looking for a sushi and I didn't want to wait until I got back to Bay Ridge on the way home from a trip out to Long Island. This a large space, a little dated looking, a large bar area with a great selection of Saki, beer, and liquors. The menu is one of the most extensive menus I've seen with the usual hot and cold appetizers, sashimi, sushi, entrees, Hibachi Dinners, deserts, etc. Prices are fair, service was what I call efficient and good. The server was nice although not super conversational. They are located right on the canal so you can get a nice view of the boats, docks and waterfront houses. They get pretty busy and are well established. One tip is to try and wait to order your entrees until you e had your appetizers. The food comes out fast although they don't rush you. We started with a bowl of Edemame and vegetable spring rolls. We had the Day Dream Roll which had with rock shrimps & guacamole inside and topped with fresh lobster, shrimp and crab meat in spicy mayo, mango & eel sauce. The Sesame Crusted Tuna roll-spicy tuna & avocado topped seared sesame tuna, served w. sesame saikgo sauce. We also had the Dynamite Roll-spicy crunchy tuna inside with spicy kani & crunch on top. For desert we had the Warm Chocolate Cake with vanilla ice cream. Overall a good experience and I would recommend them. Very good value for the money.

    I like the location because it's next to the water, so I definitely will come back for sushi rolls. The parking lot is super small and the restaurant is on a major road so I would recommend carpooling or Uber. My co worker got an expresso martini and she hated it . It was giving coffee. I got a strawberry Marg and it looked sooooooo red( a lot of purée). I was thinking it was going to be bad but it was okay. Hibachi is mid here. You know how hibachi be good the next day? Yeah , no not this lol. It was the same. but this spicy sauce that came with the angel was so good . Snow White roll was super good as Well. And I had my first raw roll and babyyy it was goood af! Another co worker got egg plant and she enjoyed it .

    Sushi, Chicken Teriyaki
    Cristal U.

    The service was not good. Waitress was rude, not attentive and rather distracted. The food was not good. Ordered chicken teriyaki and chicken was undercooked, sushi did not taste fresh. I guess I'll give the 1 star for plating.

    The staff is very nice and the service is pretty quick. I just wish they spaced it out a bit so we would have time to digest. We ordered multiple choices that I can't tell you them all. Just know that everything was fresh especially their sushi.

    Seafood Noodle Soup
    Shajib H.

    The experience at frenasia was a love hate experience. Something went very well and others not so much. I came to frenasia with a big group around 6pm and we were seated immediately. The seating was adequate and we really liked that they were able to accommodate us despite the timing. Food: We started with three orders of the tempura appetizers, they came with two shrimps and some tempura veggies in each order. It was good but not much to really write about. Two of us ordered the noodle soups, one was a beef boodle soup with pad thai noodles, and the other a seafood udon soup. Both soups were delicious, i especially loved the calamari in the seafood noodle soup, i was skeptical because of the thick size of the calamari but it turned out really well. If the dinner experience only consisted of these noodle dishes i would probably give this a 4 or 5. We ordered three hibachi dishes mainly chicken and steak but they weren't much to write about. They were good but didn't leave much of an impression. Ill keep it simple and blunt and say it was ok. The same can be said about the pad Thai that my brother ordered. The final dish is where the problems began. My brother in law ordered a rib eye steak combo and asked for it to be done medium rare. The outer cuts of the steak were closer to medium well but he thought it would get better as he gets closer to the center. Unfortunately the center was dry medium at best and he could not eat it. We alerted the staff and they were VERY NICE about it. They replaced his steak and everyone waited until he cut in to the center of the new one to make sure he approved. Even though it was closer to a rare he still approved because of how nice they were. I would like to give this place a high 3 or a 4 but besides the issue with the steak we also had issues with orders being forgotten and timing of when we received the dishes. We had to remind them that they forgot 1 of the 3 plates of appetizers and the miso soup that came with one of the orders. I would like to give them a 3.3 or 3.4 for their efforts but a 3 is the closest.

But this place completely knocked it out of the park. It far exceeded everything we anticipated. We were seated in a private booth, which made the experience feel even more authentic and intimate. Every dish that came out was absolutely delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully presented. They even provided a bell to press for service, and each time, the server appeared almost instantly with a warm smile. It's clear the owner and management truly know how to create and run a successful business--from the attention to detail to the seamless service and overall experience. For a moment, it truly felt like we had been transported back to Japan. An unforgettable dining experience.

The booths were also…read morewell decorated too (there was one with one piece images on the wall), disappointingly though the one I was in had very dark lighting so my dad had to use his phone flashlight to see the menu. For our food we ordered the hako sushi, tornado omelette fried rice, trio tuna sushi roll, yakitori platter (ordered chicken gizzard and gyu harami on the side) and the A5 Wagyu cooked on the stone grill. I recommend getting the yakitori platter as it's a nice sampler but my husband especially enjoyed the chicken gizzard. My dad never had wagyu before so he especially loved the wagyu but I do think it's expensive for the amount they give you, I can see why it's pricier but just know before you order it's like $45 for 2.5 oz or in our case about 5 thin slices of wagyu. My brother said the tornado omelette was tasty and filling and he enjoyed it. The trio tuna sushi roll was very fresh. As for the service, I think everyone was pleasant but the vibes were a little off, it seems like they were just very exhausted. This doesn't affect the quality of the food or the experience but it was just something I noticed. They were still very attentive and provided great service. The reason for the one star off is because I do wish the Hako sushi had a bit more flavor, I saw so many different ingredients and fish but none of the flavors were impactful, it was rather one dimensional which was disappointing because it was presented so beautifully. Overall, I recommend giving Izakaya nana a try and I would definitely go again to try other things.

I remember when this business opened more than ten years now. I concur with previous Yelp reviews that Ozone Park have very little food options for dining-in cafes and restaurants for many years and choosing Ozone Park is to go down the rabbit hole. I have chosen to patronized Hana Asian Bistro on a extreme heat, hot humid day which calls for sushi and sashimi. Sushi and Sashimi for one, $34.50 Chef's choice (Omakase) of 5 pieces assorted sushi and 10 pieces assorted sashimi with tuna roll and California roll. This platter is accompanied with either miso soup or salad. I decided on salad which is my default choice. I decided on hot Matcha green tea to accompany my meal. I did not taste any Matcha nor was there any putrid aroma as it was very weak and paucity. This platter was gargantuan as I was unable to finish it entirely. Salad - The lettuce was swimming in ginger dressing that was very watery. The one cherry tomato was not cut which is unusual. The cucumber was gargantuan in size as it is the largest I have seen embedded in a salad. Tuna roll - Fresh and I can taste the tuna. This was a pleasure. California roll - contains too much avocado and minimal cucumber. Tasted weird that I cannot finish as it was hard to swallow. There are giant screens that give a irksome strobe lighting effect. The dim LED lighting during my lunch makes it difficult to see especially reading the menu and gave me a headache while I sat hoping for phlegmatic disposition but was wamble. I saw an elderly man who walked-in after me dined alone for lunch and had to use a flash light. Customer service is average and provide reasonable accommodation to a seat neighbor with a flash light to view the menu. There is a full bar and large plasmas television screens to appease the sport aficionado customer. The drink menu is intense for cocktails and I wonder if the proprietor(s) monitor patrons' alcohol intake level for possible DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) offense. The extensive takeout menu also serve as the dine-in menu. Unlike the standard traditional, very conservative Japanese restaurant, Hana Asian Bistro fends a very bold modern Asian bistro, non-traditional atmospheric setting and targets the non-Asian clientele. Wooden disposable chopsticks are provided to preserve the traditional Japanese dining experience... at least. The background music is annoyingly boisterous loud playing either K-pop and R&B. There are two (2) facilities available and relatively clean. The interior of the facility there are no hooks for jackets, coats or bags as I had to place my bag on the door hinge. The hand air dryer in the facility does does not fully function as I inevitably dried my hands with a paper towel. The bathroom faucet sink appears to be Kohler brand which is very modernly unique large flat basin with edges for drainage. The large doors mirrors the main entrances' large doors for a dramatic appearance. The facade is heavily plastered with vexatious advertisements of their food and drink offerings. A gratuity guide is printed on the bottom of the sales receipt with intervals of 18%, 20& and 22%, ergo no math calculation is required by the customer. This business is very accessible by MTA NYC Transit buses Q52 SBS, Q53 SBS, Q22, Q41 and A train at Rockaway Boulevard via Cross Bay Boulevard near the Belt Parkway in Ozone Park, Queens, New York City.

The $45 nigiri combo was not worth it. The fish is not premium grade that command the kind of price they charge. Environment is dated. Service is good but not warm and inviting.

I don't know why I was surprised to discover this was in a strip mall, but that's on me. A nice one, at least. The place was relatively busy but we were able to secure a table easily with zero wait time. Pleasant vibes inside. I don't mean this as an insult at all but I was expecting more ethnic decor in line with the restaurant's menu - instead, it's pretty Americanized and feels like a classic suburban NJ establishment. I liked the painted brick on the lefthand side that has Blue Spice's logo/sign on it; spiffy. The bathroom was also a high point, which is...not something I say often. It was very clean and smelled nice, and I liked the dark cruise-ship lighting vibe. We decided to split the scallion pancake app, which was an excellent decision. I work in the city and regularly have this item from a place in Chinatown, and I honestly thought this was better, mostly because it was thicker/denser than what I'm used to. Super tasty and would get that again in a heartbeat. Giant portion as well - we split the pancake, which was roughly the size of a small pizza. My chum had leftovers there, I did not; so it goes with us. I've had a few mediocre chicken katsu experiences of late, so this seemed like a chance for redemption. I ordered the Akiko Curry entree, which was their spin on chicken katsu curry. Honestly wasn't my favorite. Again, a HUGE portion here and was only able to finish about 60% of it despite having a pretty legit appetite coming in. And the presentation value is excellent as well, as far as that goes. This could easily just be a personal palate preference, but I wasn't crazy about the curry itself (which had a weird tang to it) and didn't resemble the standard curry I'm used to with this dish. Also, as you can see from the attached, the curry is basically on the side of the dish, separated from the chicken and rice. Because of that, the chicken is on the dry side, which is my primary beef (pun?) with the item to begin with. So a miss for me, but I could see why other people would like this (and apparently do). The service was excellent, full stop. Our waitress was very nice and personable; she had strong command of the menu and you could see her consistently engaging with other patrons throughout our meal as well. She took several group photos so this is apparently a Kingdom of Sussex hot spot for that, which I wouldn't have guessed. She was so good both of us remarked on it multiple times during the meal, which is a rarity. But a great example of hospitality markedly improving an experience and making what was already an overall positive situation that much better. Huge marks there. Would definitely come back but would explore other parts of the menu once I feasted on the scallion pancake.
