    ginger salad and miso soup
    Jared S.

    Don't let the "Express" in their name fool ya, it's the perfect place to dine-in as well. It's been about 10 years since I've eaten year (yes they've been around quite a while!), and they haven't lost a beat. I ate here for lunch yesterday and received super service and high quality sushi. I've been on a bit of a low carb lifestyle as of late so I ordered the basic sashimi platter. It doesn't come with miso soup or salad however I was generously offered both on the house, incredible!! You can tell they really care about their customers from the way they interact with everyone. Did I mention that they also keep the place pretty darn spotless too?! Seriously, if you're ever in Fresh Meadows or near St Johns and are looking for some great sushi at an affordable price.. check out Ganda Sushi Express!

    Awesome sushi selection. The place is a little subtle but friendly staff. This is best for carryout or pick up. Definitely authentic Jap resto.

    Spicy Roll Combo. Spicy Salmon Roll, Spicy Crab Roll ane Spicy Tuna Roll

    It ia a very small place, more of a take out place than a restaurant. I had the spicy combo. I lioe that the spicy tuna roll was actually spicy. Spicy crab roll also tasted great. The down side the rolls are very small compared to other sushi places. Service wise they are very feiendly and you feel welcomed.

    Probably one of the better casual takeout sushi spots that I've been to with the prices being comparable or just slightly more expensive than your typical take out sushi spot. Came here on my birthday and was in the mood for sushi..... Lots of it.......decided to look around the area and lo and belong this place popped up. Went inside and saw it was a super small mom and pop shop, run by Koreans, which in my experience usually is a good sign as far as quality and freshness of sushi. Ordered a huge platter and went to town and was pleasantly surprised. Will defintely come bsck and try again to see if I can find a favorite combo or something

    Best delivery spot and pick up spot in queens for sushi. They make it fresh and accommodating! I asked to make a sushi platter without sesame seeds because some people are allergic. They made the platter so nice and without sesame seeds. Thank you so much!

    Only sushi place open during quarantine. :)

    Good local sushi joint that is working tireless during quarantine. They are the only sushi place that kept their doors open while everyone closed down. Some may argue that their fish may not be fresh since distributors are closed but they sure tasted great to us. Lots of varieties and great prices. It's a no frills store but owned by a very adorable Korean hubby and wife. Very sweet couple and I would gladly support their business. If you can, give them some love too by ordering some take out!

    DEFINITELY try the Nike roll, Morimoto roll and House Special roll!!!! You won't regret it
    Rebecca B.

    This is one of my favorite sushi spots! It definitely depends on what you get! The parking isn't so great but if you go around the corner, you're bound to find a residential spot. I highly recommend the Chef Special roll, Morimoto roll and the Nike roll. I've been getting these rolls nonstop for YEARS and they even memorized my order when I call! This isn't a place where I'd look forward to ordering their sashimi, but based on those three rolls mentioned above, it's the reason why I keep coming back to this place!

    I used to love this place. It was actually the reason I developed a craving for sushi. My SJU classmates and I would come here multiple times in a week. I preferred this place over other sushi places because the sauces were the best and the rolls were made real fat. The guy who worked there was a man of few works but he was an amazing friendly cook who smiled at everyone. I'm not sure what happened to the people who used to co-own this restaurant (I'm assuming since they were the only ones there for ~5 years). Ever since they left and the new people came in we haven't really liked the way they make it - like every other restaurant. Still good though if you're looking for a cheap sushi place near campus.

    I came here years ago and I've loved it. I left the neighborhood and came back years later, and it's still the best sushi spot in queens. No matter what you get here, it's nothing like other sushi spots. The kani salad is to die for and I usually order transformer roll. Both are A+. Highly recommended

They send you a text message reminder and you also have a15 minute grace period. Place is clean, just that the floor is a bit slippery. Since the place was packed there wasn't anywhere to put our bags so it did feel a bit crammed. Wished they got hooks at the bottom of the table. Food was goooooood. Ofc got a good variety of food from hot food to sushi and sweets. Hot food: -fried shu mai was nice and hot with a very thin wrapper so got that nice brittle crunch -sirloin was juicy -fried oyster was also really decent -eggplant tempura crunchy outside and nice and soft in the inside. Perfect texture since sometimes the eggplant is not soft enough imo Sushi: Their sashimi slices seem to got thinner but that's fine cuz we can order more. Yellowtail, salmon, and white tuna was supppper delish. White tuna will be my go to here now. The sushi rolls and nigiri were good too. Love the rice to fish ratio here since other ayce spams rice. Dessert: Jasmine milk pudding- this was more like Jasmine milk tea with pudding topping, but the tea was actually really floral. We all liked it. Every server was super nice and food came out not too late considering how packed they were. Again, really appreciate them being able to accommodate our change in reservation even though they were packed.

The sushi rolls actually tasted good and didn't have excessive rice like some other AYCE places to fill you up. I don't usually care much for noodles at sushi restaurants, but their udon was surprisingly very tasty. Service: 5/5 Most sushi restaurants have maybe 2 guys behind the sushi counter preparing sushi. Akino had like 6-7 guys back there. We ordered on the ipad and a few minutes later the food comes out. The service was really fast and the waiters were very friendly and helpful. Ambiance: 5/5 The ambiance is modern and energetic with a lively dining room that fits the fast-paced AYCE experience. The restaurant is clean, well-lit, and comfortable for both small groups and larger gatherings. It can get busy and loud during peak hours, but the upbeat atmosphere adds to the fun.

Generally the slices are nice and thick and there's plenty of rice, but when I ordered this as take out, they gave me much less rice which I didn't expect. I'd also say that they're happy hour is very generous and they have a decent variety of drinks like plum wine and beers. This place can get very busy and it can be difficult to flag down staff. It would be nice if they had one of those buzzing buttons that you could use to call the staff. Overall, still my favorite place to eat at in person. Vibe is casual and looks like there's a lot of repeat customers which is good

My wife had heard good things and we had been craving sushi for a while, so we took a stroll over and gave it a shot. I went with my usual order -- a spider roll and spicy tuna -- and both were solid. I tried a third roll as well but honestly cannot remember what it was, and it did not leave much of an impression either way. The first two though were good enough to bring me back. The highlight of the visit was honestly our server. She was cool, spunky, and had a great sense of humor. We ended up laughing and joking around with her throughout the meal, which added a lot to the overall experience. Pleasant visit all around. We will be back.

In reality, they don't serve high quality sushi omakase or anything fancy. However, they do serve some of the best sushi rolls in the area. Always fresh and many crazy concoctions that will satisfy almost any taste buds. I have been coming here ever since moving into the neighborhood. The servers have always been kind and helpful. The restaurant is very small and really focus mostly on takeout or delivery. On the last visit, I really like the Mini Scallop Roll and Spicy Tuna Crunchy Roll. Munchy Roll was just okay. White Tuna Sashimi was too cold and icy, while the White Tuna Nigiri was somewhat better. However, truth be told, just come for the fun and interesting sushi rolls and forget about the nigiri or sashimi.

As…read moresomeone with a severe gluten allergy, I was really excited to try out this place because I saw a lot of reviews online praising for the way the staff members handle food allergies. I went in right around opening time (noon) on the weekend - the outside is a bit unassuming and partially covered by awning but the inside was brightly lit and the lady at the register (I wish I asked for her name) was incredibly warm and welcoming. She was super enthusiastic about helping me identify which rolls would be safe for me to have. They also have a grab-and-go section where certain popular rolls and sides have already been prepped, but as long as you're willing to wait, the chefs are more than happy to make a fresh batch of a specific roll, even if there are already packed portions of the same exact roll in the grab-and-go section. I thought this was a really thoughtful approach to appeasing all customers. I ended up going with a Philadelphia roll and a Mango Tango specialty roll, which contained a combination of salmon and tuna, mango, avocado, and cucumbers. The ingredients were very fresh and I think the prices are quite reasonable. Without even asking, I was given gluten-free tamari sauce instead of normal soy sauce. The combination of the restaurant's extensive menu and how kind the staff were made this a really wonderful experience - I was very satisfied with my order and definitely see myself coming back again and again whenever I have a sushi craving. The only downside is that this is really more so a grab-and-go spot in general, as there were only two small tables in the entire store. As a heads up, they also prefer to take cash instead of card.
