Definitely the best sushi restaurant I've ever been too. Great service, great environment and most importantly...great food! The staff and owner is extremely welcoming and the owner (Jimmy) is super friendly, makes you feel at home and is a great recommender. There are even some things that aren't listed in the menu that you can ask about.The food here is fresh and it really is the best of the best. It's too bad I don't live close by or else I'd come here all the time! But really, come give this place a chance when youre nearby! read more

Himawari - Sushi Bars Near Me - Long Beach, New York

Absolutely love this place! It's the best place on the south shore for amazing sushi and sashimi. Fresh and yummy! Very inventive rolls and appetizers.... Himawari Salad is my new fav on the menu. Jimmy is the nicest host! He always makes you feel welcome. Mon-Fri from 12-3 the lunch special is dollar sushi and sashimi!! Whaaaaat? Yup. Yummmmerzzzzz read more

Very slow service. They told us the delivery would be to us in under an hour and it took 2 hours and 15 minutes for it to show up. I kept calling the restaurant to ask about where our food was and they said the driver will be there in 5 minutes. Never ordering again read more

Mediocre food at best. Teriyaki tuna tasted plain and was hard like rubber. The service was no better. 2 cooks were talking and laughing loudly all the time. Sometimes, a waitress joined them and screamed in the kitchen. Not the best place I would recommend based on my experience. read more

The best sushi around! Plus Jimmy and his team are always happy and make everyone feel welcome. Try a Sake Bomb.

Great sushi - have ordered to go, and have eaten at the sushi bar. Not surprisingly, the in-house food is a lot better than "to go". The specialty rolls are great - inventive, beautifully made, fresh tasting. Had a spicy tuna and mango roll with avocado that was really fantastic. Prices are totally legit (for food as well as beer - $4 Kirin? Yes please!) However taking one star off because the waitstaff kept hovering and leaning over me throughout my meal in order to pull food off the sushi bar for people sitting at tables. They should relegate the end of the sushi bar for lining up food once it's ready to serve so that they aren't leaning over the patrons at the bar who are trying to enjoy their meal. read more

Came to this favorite neighborhood sushi spot, on a early brisk Saturday evening to get some take-out. For starters, they are not very welcoming to outsiders, as I was surprised no one was at the front to greet me. I proceeded to stand there for a few minutes. Helping myself to a menu. I'm giving a 4 not a 3 star rating because they pump-out a boatload of delivery and takeout and the quality of sushi is very good. I ordered the maki combo which came with a soup or salad for $18.45 w tax. The rolls were very fresh and tasty plus the fish to rice ratio is solid. The salad was so skimpy, my 87 yr old grandma would have thought it was a joke. The price would've been fine if I wasn't fed like a rabbit. The parking is standard for Long Beach. Being an avid sushi lover, I know it takes a little loyalty to a restaurant to earn respect. So I can cut them some slack. If in the area I would visit again. The dining room is not fancy but gets the job done. read more

Himawari - Maki Combo : Dynamite, Heaven and Mexican - Sushi Bars Near Me - Long Beach, New York

Dine or Ditch? A Definite Dine! From the moment we walked in we felt at home with this sushi place. On a late winter night we went in and were welcomed with warm saki. We ordered several rolls including our favorite, the sushi sandwich, and we were pleasantly surprised with the flavor each roll offered. It's a great atmosphere, great food, and great staff. We've gone back several times since and we've never been disappointed. It's a spot to go after a day at the beach... just relax and enjoy some good fish. read more

Best sushi in Long Beach by far. Fish is always fresh and service is great. Jimmy is a great guy and once you get to know him, always has something special or off the menu for you. A favorite is definitely the East Meets West roll though. read more

Great place for sushi. Jimmy is the owner and he is a really nice guy- ask him for help with the menu and he'll pick out something great for you. He is very involved and really cares about your experience. the restaurant is cozy and this means that you won't wait long for fresh sushi, appetizers, or drinks. The staff runs like a well oiled machine and they're all very friendly. This place is my favorite for sushi in long beach- give it a try if you're in the area. read more

When I crave Sushi it makes me really miss living in Long Beach!!! I don't know why but I just can't find a local sushi place I like as much as this in Rockville Centre. I love most of the sushi places in Long Beach but Himawari is my favorite!!! I guess I'm a little nostalgic because Himawari is where I first started going to when I got into sushi. I mostly stick to rolls and there all awesome :) Very fresh and tasty... I try to stop there everytime I'm in the area and get the opportunity too...Even though RVC is not that far a way, it still is a pain in the ass when your looking to get takeout and you have to trek to Long Beach but if your in the area, definitely give it a try!!! read more

Sunday August 22 take out poo poo platter no no platter food was cold and nothing like the pics on their site so disappointed I'm sure jimmy was not there to put out food like that . Had burnt spring roll just awful! Cold soggy food feel ill read more

I've had sushi from this place two weekends in a row. First time we had delivery, and last night we ate at the sushi bar in the restaurant. The sushi is fresh and delicious and they have some interesting special rolls. I particularly like the Diamond Roll - Tuna, Salmon, Peanuts, Cucumber wrapped in Rice Paper, yummy! Last night I had this Crazy Tuna roll special which included spicy tuna, asparagus, crunch, tomago, fresh tuna on top and a jalepeno, it was delicious! I definitely recommend this place, one of the better sushi joints I've been to. The service was very friendly and attentive. People who are regulars all were making jokes with the waiters and sushi chefs, clearly this is a regulars place. read more

Love, love this place. Everything I hav ever ordered, and I've been ordering from them for as long as they've been opened, 10 + yrs (?) has been fresh, delicious, and very consistent with their flavors. Never had a bad meal. read more

Excellent fresh sushi!!! My go to place in Long Beach. Staff is friendly, place is clean and the atmosphere is nice.

Best sushi place in Long beach. Hawaiian salad is must. Sashimi and roll are so fresh. Jimmy and staff are always so friendly. come here almost 4 years, always had great time and food. highly recommend. read more

Me and my husband love this place. We love food, service and their really fair prices. I saw some people are complaining about service, that waiters are not nice enough. People who serve there do not mean anything rude or disrespectful. Jimmy is the best. (we met the owner from going there pretty often) Customers should not be mad at anything there coz food is great. Really good choice and really good quality. We have been in many Japanese places but now we keep going to Himavari. We just start loving everything in It. I personally recommend Himavary salad (never tried anything like that in any Japanese places), flying dragon roll, Godzilla roll. My husband, who is always on a diet, loves sushi sandwich. It's very tasty and super diet dish. read more

Good restaurant, great drinks. Only problem is they seem to be understaffed. Three waitresses covering the entire restaurant plus bar tending is going to cause some problems on weekends. Would definitely go back read more

Best sushi place in long beach, always fresh fish and delicious special rolls. Jimmy always does it right here, you won't be let down, nice guy. read more

I don't understand the rave reviews. Went on Sat for lunch because it was open. Good deal on paper My scallop roll was slimy, the miso soup was terrible, and salad was drenched with dressing. Pieces of sushi were just ok. Lesson learned- only Nagahama in Long Beach read more

After a Sunday morning walk on the board walk, I had my heart set on Sushi. It was about 11:55 am and the first place my friend and I stopped at didn't open until 12:30. We hopped on Yelp and found this place in 10 minutes walking distance that open at noon. Perfect. We walked in and my friend headed straight for the restroom. I sat alone for about 5 minutes and the waitress never approached until I turned around and looked at her for about a minute. I was so thirsty I really needed some water!! She refilled the table next to my water and checked on them again before offering me anything but a menu. I guess because my friend was still in the restroom?? Anyway, we ordered vegetable gyoza appetizer, Marvin roll, heaven roll & a Mexican roll. We noticed the sushi was ready sitting on the counter before the gyoza even came out. She brought over the dumplings and we finished the plate. Now we're looking at our sushi still sitting on the counter waiting for the waitress to pick up our appetizer plate and bring the sushi. Again we have to prompt her for service. That was disappointing ... BUT ... I have to say ... All of the rolls were fantastic. This is still a 4 star review regardless of the service because the sushi was that good. We also got a small bottle of hakutsuru premium sake, served chilled, it was very tasty and more than enough for 2 at lunch.. lol. We had no idea which sake to order but we were pleasantly surprised. 4 stars. I would come back. read more

The best sushi in town overall. Great party platters too. The signature roles are great and very fresh. Clean and small place that is inviting and quite. read more

Favorite sushi joint in Long Beach! Won't eat anywhere else. Tonight, our pickup order wasn't ready so they sat us at a table while we waited and brought us 4 Sapporo's. This is how businesses should treat their customers. Thank you!!! read more

Hands down the best sushi place in Long Beach! Eat in or take out always the best! Super fresh fish, very creative rolls. Wonderful, friendly staff read more

sushi is mediocre, there are other better places in long beach honestly. however, it still pains me to even give this place 1 star im not writing to insult this place, i promise you that but i have been served in a very condescending manner, if you will, the past times i have been here and the other day was just the worst i used to think " oh maybe they're busy, i understand" but no many of my friends experienced the same treatment as well i was so nice about it but i have had enough, i will not be treated this way by any establishment - for him to keep talking on the phone just to "chat" and keep me waiting was tolerable - for me to ask a simple question and for him to just sarcastically answer was tolerable - for him to throw the credit card back at me upon paying is tolerable (and i do mean throw) - but for him to toss my food at me like it was not going to spill (it was take out) -- that i could not forgive now, i realize that this place will not serve you fairly if you are not a middle-aged white man. in addition to that, asking how much the food is in order to help you compare the prices is frowned upon these are not humble people you. will. be. treated. badly. everyone else had a different treatment and i had done nothing to offend the server i promise you that in short, unfair treatment of customers (dine in, take out, delivery take your pick) especially from the front desk server (or management) is inevitable do not go here i def will not be going back, will not risk them spitting on my food read more

The sushi we ordered was delicious! It was brought to our table quickly and the service was friendly and attentive.

Good service friendly, only down side is thy charge you per drink, like each coke. But food is awesome price just a little high but again not bad for the area. read more

Best sushi in Long Beach! Fresh and awesome. Friendliest staff, great special rolls. Can't recommend enough!

Always fresh and delicious. They make it fast. Always friendly. Seem to have a big following. Only hear good things about them!

Moved here recently and was trying to find a replacement sushi place. Tried this place after Nagahama gave a me rotten tuna! They hide the rank with the mayo sauces and crap despite all the good reviews. Soooo disappointed. :( So glad I've found Himawari because the cardinal rule for sushi fish is freshness! Best sushi in long beach, hands down & prices are great to boot! I always get the Himawari salad and the oba roll. Ambiance could be better but I don't care, sushi's on point! read more

This is my all time favorite place to come when I'm in the area. When you come for dinner they serve edamame while you are waiting which is super yummy and a much better option then Chinese noodles. They have green rice tea which took me a really long time to get used of but i actually crave it now. They have these cute little 10 ways to good health cups that i adore and its a really good vibe there. Im not big on sushi but i love the cucumber and avocado rolls and teriyaki chicken. The only con about this place is sometimes service can be slow and there is only 2 to 3 waitress's but it seems like the boss helps out a lot and is really personable with customers. Definitely come here and give this place a chance! I've seen a lot of people dressed up to come here as well as some uber casual. read more

This place is very good. I've been to Japan and can compare. The food is fresh and tasty. They give complimentary Edamame. Prices are very reasonable. Recommend highly. read more

The food was actually really good and the restaurant was beautiful.. unfortunately the service was extremely slow (we were one of two tables in the entire place) and the place was swarmed with mosquitoes. I got bit several times during dinner. read more

This place is one of the many things I miss about log beach!! The food is always good and fresh and jimmy always comes over has a chat and makes us feel welcome! Just before hurricane sandy we moved to New York City and whenever we came to long beach we would be sure to stop here for food! We had an afternoon I the nautical mile the restaurant had s sushi bar which was a very welcomed surprise!! Much to out amazement jimmy was the guy over seeing the sushi bar!! He came over with a beautifully produced sushi plate and his hospitality is second to non!! Thank you jimmy read more

We order takeout here at least once a month. Sushi and sashimi are always fresh and beautifully presented. Rolls are delicious. So many good appetizers. We love the Himawari roll, Tako Su, Shrimp Spring rolls, Chef's Special roll, miso soup and so much more. And the delivery guy is so nice. Give it a try! My only reason for four stars is because it's pretty pricey. I still highly recommend if you don't mind splurging every once in awhile. Oh, the Tuna Pizza!!! Must try, it's SO delicious! read more

Without a doubt, the best sushi on Long Island. Jimmy and his crew turn out creative dishes like Sushi Pizza, Sushi Tacos and amazing rolls. I am personally a sashimi fan and the fish is fresh, really fresh. If you like sushi with a twist you have to try this small local favorite. It's a little hidden behind a tree on Park Ave and often overshadowed by it's over rated neighbor across the street but it's worth seeking out for an intimate and exceptional sushi experience. The more I come here the more I love this place! read more

Food is great, good atmosphere, the host/server jimmy is the best!! But i must admit this last server Mina or rina was HORRIBLE. Never smiled, super stone walled and stoic. Totally ruined my dinner for me an my dad. The appetizer, which i ordered two of, took 25 minutes which usually DOES NOT take long, nor was it busy at all. AND she only put in for 1, told me that i only ordered one and didn't even apologize. Then she messed up one of the two rolls i ordered which she then replies with "oh its basically the same, only with spicy crab on top" ... Uhh, no, a different roll is a different roll and i didnt order it. She didnt even apologize AGAIN, nor did she offer to get me my REAL order or take it off the bill. I said something to jimmy and he fixed everything and made it all better but geez.... DON't get rina/mina. read more

My favorite sushi place in Long Beach, Jimmy is the best and always makes you feel welcome. Great food and service and always fresh. Some great innovative dishes for apps are the tuna pizza, sushi sandwich and golden salmon. Love this place. read more

Best sushi in Long Beach! I'm about 50/50 in whether I eat-in or take out from Himawari, but I've never been even slightly disappointed. The waitstaff/delivery staff are VERY friendly and positive, the service has always been great. I've only had the sushi & soup, so I can't speak to the quality of the entrees but I've never had a bad roll here. My suggestion is the "Maki combo", which includes any 3 classic rolls for $15.95. They have some pretty solid 'classic' rolls that I think are well-priced. The combo is said to include soup OR salad, but they usually give me both if I'm dining in. The restaurant itself is clean and well-lit. I wouldn't go here for the ambiance but the food is fantastic and the service is always on-point. read more
