Love Frenasia, we go here weekly! Polite staff, amazing food & drinks are a great local destination for a night out, celebration or casual dinner. I usually sit at the sushi bar and have the chefs make me off menu items that always hit a home run for me and my guests. Prices are reasonable for the quality food you are getting (again I come here weekly) I suggest trying the Orange Chicken, lettuce wraps and Special roll of the day. They have a full bar with an experienced bartender, the drinks are always plentiful and prepared correctly. Take your time eating by and enjoy our photos. read more

Rain or storm, Wind or floods you can always count on them to be open with a smile. The night of my bday they were open and took my 6 guests without reservations I was so happy. All the food was delicious and some had dessert and some didn't. I've been here several times throughout the summer and love it every time. read more

Stopped in for a quick drink, no prosecco but they offered "champagne" which was truly awful...and expensive. Glad I didn't eat there.

Stay away from the bar if Kim is there. My cousins and I stopped by at 10:30 on a Saturday for a quick drink. We were told they close at 11. No issues. We were going to order a drink, pay, leave a tip, and leave. Kim the bartender asked if we're really going to still sit and rolled her eyes repeatedly. We offered to pay and leave immediately as this was an incredibly rude experience. The manager asked us to stay and be seated, but Kim ruined our night. If you don't want to serve customers, work somewhere else! read more

Came here for lunch and the parking lot is very small. Service was good. We originally asked to sit by the window, but the space was tight, and we couldn't really look out the window after we sat down, so we asked to move, and the staff was happy to accommodate. The menu has a nice mix of Japanese and Chinese items. I enjoyed a roll with salmon and avocado. read more

So I planned a class trip here because my students were learning about Chinese new year. The owner was extremely kind and helped me plan an unforgettable experience for my students in this restaurant. We were a small group of 14 students and a larger group of staff and parents. The restaurant worked with us took care of the kids provide provided quick and efficient service with delicious food. She was very flexible and kind and welcoming to the children. They really did a great job and giving my students experience that they may may have not ever been able to have. They were organized with the adults and the food came out quickly. I highly recommend for anyone going with kids date night a quick bite to eat or even a night out by yourself. The food also had a great presentation and everything was fresh ! The experience was a 10 out of 10 for us. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

Food here is always on point and delicious. They have changed up their menus quite a bit. I used to always love their marinated beef salad that came w this tangy white dressing. =( sad they took it off their menu. - hope they can bring it back some day. Still their menu is quite extensive. Service is on par. They used to have karaoke on Friday and Saturday nights. Not sure if they still have that going on. Would be back if I'm ever in the Howard Beach area. Def recommend! read more

The food is always good and fresh, the service is 5 stars, I will always recommend this place.

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 . read more

Love it here! It's so vibrant and the food is always delicious! Frenasia is a fantastic spot with beautiful ocean views and a cozy patio.

Every dish is flavorful and beautifully presented.Whether you're out for a romantic dinner, hanging with friends, or just relaxing, Frenasia offers a peaceful and enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommend if you want great food with a stunning view! read more

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. read more

Been going here for years and the food is consistently incredible. The service is alway spectacular and the ambiance is nice and relaxed.

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. read more

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. read more

This is not the first time ordering food from here and the delivery guy is always fighting over tips. His attitude towards fussing over tips is very disturbing and this is not the first time. The amount of tips he seems to be never satisfied with. read more

The food is not only flavorful, but presentation is fantastic and artistic. Service is friendly and service is quick. Very pleasant service.

This is our first time and our server Nicole was very friendly and attentive. One in our party is a vegetarian and the chef was awesome enough to make up a vegetarian dish for her. We ordered so much food everything was delicious. read more

Great experience, Demi our waitperson was great, pleasant, friendly, suggested items. Very upscale presentation, ver

Some things are really good and some not so much. The dumplings were horrible. The duck one has a weird taste and the pork one was dry. Their drinks are okay, very sugary, but I really enjoyed my sushi and my friend loved her garlic prawns. Someone got the sesame chicken and complained there was too much sauce, while someone else got the chicken and shrimp and really enjoyed it.I guess it depends on what you get. read more

Typically I enjoy coming here. It's been a while and I will say that the food has lost some of its qualify. Ordered sushi and fried rice - both of which were just plain okay not like before. The staff is friendly and attentive. The new boards for the "contraption" outside looks horrible. It blocks the water view but more than that it's not painted to at least cover the fort like structure. I'd it was done for Covid pretty sure this isn't helping at all. Hope they improve and get back to their before. read more

This restaurant is good. Nothing too crazy but quick and friendly service and tasty food. Nice view of the canal from the dining room.

The food is ahead delicious. The Queen roll is delicious. One of our favorites. Never disappointments

I've been here many times with many different groups of people. The staff is always friendly. They're very attentive and my favorite teacher of this restaurant is the outdoor seating in the summertime by the water. The fish is always fresh drinks are amazing and I love that they have a Hibachi section if you're not in the mood for sushi. read more

Used to be one of my favorite places. Food is still good. Interior has to change. Overall good experience read more

Food is delicious. Grateful for this restaurant seeing as there are no other offerings of Asian cuisine besides Chinese food in the area. Some favorites include their specialty rolls , basil beef, and their dumplings are some of the best I've ever had read more

I picked up 4 hand rolls (24 pieces) and 2 soups. They provided 2 very small cups of soy sauce equal to about 10 drops. When I asked them for more soy sauce they said that you only get 2 cups. They begrudgingly gave me 2 more and told me that the next time I ask for additional soy sauce they will charge me. In addition, they provided a minuscule amount of wasabi and no napkins. Whoever heard of charging for more soy sauce especially in a sushi restaurant I guess that I now became a new customer of the other sushi restaurant on Crossbay read more

This review is from July 2019 by the way. We tried this place out, and I ordered lunch with some coworkers. Please take note that their online menu is outdated, and all the prices for the lunch special is + $1. If you order online, the prices are updated, but the menus are not. Next time we'll order online, you can save 10% on your first order. read more

The sushi is great. If you want great sushi, this is the place to go while you are in Queens. The server Nicole was very professional. However, if you want hibachi, this is not the place to go. There were two hibachi grills, but neither were being used, so they made the hibachi in the kitchen. It's not "hibachi" without the hibachi grill experience, (no onion volcanos, sake mouth shooting, or chefs catching the egg in his hat which I was looking forward to). I hope the staff brings the grills back. Also, this is not the restaurant's fault, but I do have to mention that the valet guy left my headlights on when he parked my car and when I called in out on it, he didn't seem to care, so make sure he turns off your headlights. read more

I would recommend this place to anyone whether you eat sushi or not the menu is more than sufficient to fulfill needs read more

I came here this evening with my friend to catch up over dinner. The place is well decorated and spacious. The front area of the restaurant has hibachi stations and towards the back of the restaurant are several tables and booths. Our waiter was very nice and attentive and service was excellent. I ordered the Spicy Crunchy Scallop Roll as an appetizer and it was good. For my entrée, I had the Happy Family Wok which contained lobster, shrimp, beef, and chicken with steamed vegetables in a special sauce. I must say it was so tasty! My friend had the Rib Eye Steak and she loved it. The menu is very extensive. There's a wide variety of food to choose from. I didn't have any alcoholic drinks, so I can't really comment on that. I see myself coming back to this restaurant to try another dish and recommend anyone to give it a try. read more
