Traditional bahn mi has pate. Their menu even lists it. They couldn't have run out. I've been there a number of times and they never once put pate in there. Last time I've asked for extra pate and the guy asked what pate was. Such a rip off. Then I thought, let me try their pho. Their broth was fine as a Chinese noodle soup, mediocre at best, but it was definitely not pho. The noodle they've used was also not what authentic Viet restaurants use for their pho. Too many failures. Too many tries. Never going back.

Popping into here passing through Merrick and what a hidden gem!!! Really cute Vietnamese…read morerestaurant, staff was really nice and helpful, simple seating, simple menu. We got the Kenko rolls, both were great! The peanut sauce it came with went great with the chili sauce on the table. The rock shrimp were like popcorn chicken in the best way, light, crispy breading, not oily at all. The filet pho was lovely, it's huge, tons of noodles, very light broth, ofc comes with the bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime - would recommend a pho and the fish bahn mi was also really good, the fish was really crispy but the star was the pickled carrot and radish side- so light and refreshing, went so well with everything!

The food…read moreis outstanding: fresh, flavorful sushi with generous portions, creative rolls, and everything tastes made with real care. Whether it's classic nigiri or one of their signature fusion specials, it's always spot-on and delicious. The service is genuinely good too--attentive without being overbearing, friendly staff who make you feel welcome right away. The vibe is modern and comfortable, perfect for a casual dinner or date night. Hands down one of my go-to spots on Long Island. I'll definitely be back (probably sooner than I should admit ). Highly recommend!

Yes it's AYCE, yes they have a litany of options available, yes everything was fresh. But at the same time...yes the service is awfully slow, yes they cut corners on product (kani salad 95% cucumber and slathered in mayo, barely any crab), yes most of the rolls are almost identical, yes the sashimi is tiny and clearly the cheap end cuts of the fish. Again, not awful but for the $ I'd rather get a fixed portion of better quality product at a traditional sushi bar.

We've ordered from there twice and both times they've been fantastic…read more We chose to order the 8-roll platter for $45 because we usually order 6 rolls from our regular spot and those 6 rolls here would be $42, so for the extra $3, we're getting two more rolls. Win! All the rolls are generously filled with sushi and not rice. The spicy tuna rolls tended to get a little greasy after awhile and I don't know if that's just my personal experience because the wife didn't agree. They do a beautiful presentation and I could see ordering this to bring to a party and show up looking like a champ. The service is quick and friendly and the restaurant itself is small and clean.

I was happy they had Tom Yum soup, tasty but it had some kind of creamy base like coconut milk that threw it off..

There also appears they have outdoor seating when the weather is nice. For an app I had the tuna tartare app. It was very good and fresh. For sushi I had the spicy girl roll. Delish and fresh as well. Great rice to fish ratio. I did feel a bit rushed though. I was only half way done with my appetizer and then my sushi came out. Other than that, all was delish and I'd return.

We ordered between 3 of us 5 rolls and additional items. I LOVED my (New) Black Pepper Tuna Roll, sub soy paper, no wasabi, with green salad. Were looking for something light until we could get to dinner. Such a treat! Cousin is a regular, and they treated her great, acknowledging her continued business. Everything was 1 minute from being ready when we arrived. Packaging was very functional and not more than needed. House dressing was as promised - something I would want to dip/put on everything. Sushi was plenty and much more value than we get for the dollar in the South on sushi. Would SO return!
