    Teriyaki chicken, nice portion too.
    Kris K.

    Awesome food, quick and clean. Great lunch specials. Full menu. Enjoyed the Teriyaki Chicken. Parking lot is always full.

    Walk in at Japan Express. Got 1order shrimp Tempura of 3 pieces and 1 Bento box with chicken Teriyaki , brown rice including 4 sushi, ginger slices and a few pieces of canned sweet pineapples. Cost 16 dollars. Food fresh and server pleasant.

    Chicken & Shrimp Teriyaki Combo
    Vivian R.

    My first time visiting at Japan Express. It is very clean & Covid safety rules are being followed. I asked the lady behind the counter what is the favorite dish and she recommended chicken and shrimp. It was delicious, the chicken was tender and thin and the shrimps were perfect size & amount. The prior yelper said it was not enough, I think they correct that problem. It was plentiful. They could use a little extra Teriyaki sauce to use for the white rice. I definitely recommend this place.

    Spicy Girl Roll
    Meri L.

    Freshly new to Plainview in Morton Village! I saw the "coming soon" sign for months prior to covid. I'm more than positive covid had a hand in delaying the opening. I was happy to hear they they were finally opened! After looking at the menu I decided on some sushi and seaweed salad. The seaweed salad was delectable! There was some cucumber at the bottom, which was a nice surprise and paired very well with the seaweed. Had a very nice flavor! For my sushi roll I decided on the Spicy Girl Roll. It was fresh and flavorful. Prices are extremely reasonable compared to other places not just in the area, but compared to most places as a whole. My only complaint is the "waiting time." I called in my order and was told 10 minutes. It turned into almost 30 minutes for my order, and nothing had to be cooked. I also ordered miso soup, which I didn't get in my order at pickup, but I wasn't charged for it either. Flavors and prices are very reasonable and I will return.

    I got the chicken teriyaki and the spicy 2 in 1 roll. The food was fresh and tasty. You get what you would expect for a fast food Japanese place. extremely reasonably priced!! Much cheaper than many places and large portions. Good to see more things coming into this area!

The shopping center where this restaurant is located in Plainview is always packed and although it's plenty busy, there are plenty of parking spaces for the multitudes of folks going here or there. When seated, drink orders were taken straight away and delivered promptly. Kids got Japanese Soda and iced tea. For the adults, Mrs me and I split a hot sake and paired it with a beer and a saketini. Our friend ordered a tequila based drink and enjoyed it. Service was fantastic from the hibachi chef who really engaged us all and put on quite a show. He has the right personality to interact with a large group and presented a plate that was delicious and pleasing to the eye. Food was great and I would like to recommend the Chilean sea bass and short rib combo. Sushi and sashimi were very fresh and delicious. Fried rice and noodles were cooked perfectly and the whole meal didn't break the bank. Well done!

    This restaurant has now disappointed us twice…read more Years ago, we were charged the wrong amount when splitting the check via credit card. We decided to give them another chance and returned today, only to have another frustrating experience. We made a reservation specifically for hibachi. When we arrived and told them we had a hibachi reservation, we were simply told, "No, not right now." There was no apology, no explanation, and we weren't even given the option to wait for a hibachi table. At that point, what was the purpose of making a reservation? We ended up sitting at a regular table and still ordered hibachi dinners. To make matters worse, our food came out at different times instead of all together, so some of us were eating while others were still waiting for their meals. One of the main reasons we chose hibachi was for the experience, the ability to enjoy the meal together, and to celebrate my friend's birthday. A reservation that isn't honored made for a very disappointing visit. After giving this restaurant a second chance, we will not be returning.

The place was decorated with red heart balloons everywhere. My daughter loved this and wanted to take one. She wasn't able to, but the really nice sushi chefs did give her kani, which she loved. We started with hot tea, which was delicious. Kumo has a great lunch special. I took advantage of it and got the sushi and sashimi special. It consisted of a tuna roll, 5 pieces of sushi and 10 pieces of sashimi. Was very filling, fresh and delicious. Came with miso soup and salad. I enjoyed the salad, but their miso soup wasn't so great. I did not finish it. My husband also took advantage of the lunch special and ordered the 3 roll combo. He really enjoyed all of his rolls. My daughter had the tatsuta age. She absolutely loved it as it was basically chicken nuggets with panko. She is a huge chicken nugget fan and it's hard to find her things to eat usually at Japanese places as she isn't a fan of teriyaki chicken. Happy to know she likes this as well as Kani now. We will be back

I ordered the soba noodles with chicken and vegetables to take out and the dish contained 80% greasy noodles with a smattering of chicken and a little green from an unidentifiable vegetable. I feel so sick right now with stomach pains from all the grease that tasted like rancid lard. I should have brought it back but did not want the inconvenience. The only positive thing to say about this place is that their sushi is decent. Someone else ordered the vegetable teriyaki and got 2 pieces of broccoli and a carrot as their vegetables. No pea pods, bok choy, water chestnuts, onions, peppers, string beans etc. Just miserly portions with lots of oil, filler and hardly any protein or vegetables. Also their prices are sky high and their quality scrapes the bottom of the barrel. Never Again!!!

They started with a complimentary shrimp appetizer, but unfortunately we told the server we did not eat shrimp. He was surprised but then asked if we might like edamame, which we did.

My only negative comment is to recommend NOT to sit at the table in front of the door .

The only negative about the ambiance was that it was quite loud. The high ceilings didn't do much to absorb sound, so it was hard to hear my companion unless we leaned forward and spoke pretty loudly. The booth was very comfortable, the table spotless, and even the menu was clean (a small pet peeve of mine). The tap water came in a beautiful glass with a straw, although the water itself tasted a bit chemical-like. They have a lunch menu with very reasonable prices. We ordered a sushi-sashimi combo and stir-fried soba with vegetables. The lunch menu is limited, so they also gave us the regular menu. Oddly, only 1 regular menu was provided for 2 people, so we had to keep passing it back and forth. It's an easy fix that would make browsing much easier. We ended up ordering an appetizer and a signature roll from the regular menu too. The lunch specials came with salad or soup. We chose the salad, which was mostly romaine with a typical Japanese dressing. The portion was larger than expected for a side salad, and the lettuce was fresh and crunchy. Our appetizer was the Lobster Tapas: "Spicy lobster & shrimp wrapped with seared pepper tuna." This was delicious. There were 5 little towers with very fresh ingredients and 2 excellent sauces--a chunky green sauce and a sweeter orange sauce. The tuna was flavorful and very tender. At this point we were already planning to come back with the rest of the family. Next came the sushi-sashimi combo. There were 9 pieces of sashimi beautifully presented on ice, plus 3 pieces of sushi and a spicy tuna roll. The sashimi was very fresh, tender, and flavorful, especially the tuna. Unfortunately, the spicy tuna roll was the weak point. It tasted dry, lacked flavor, and seemed to contain far more crunchy fillers than tuna. It reminded me of a meatball with too much breadcrumb and not enough meat. I'd rather have a smaller roll with better-quality fish than a larger one padded with fillers. The spicy tropical roll was also disappointing. It too seemed to contain more fillers than fish, and the sauce was a little too sweet. It didn't taste fish-forward enough for a "signature" roll. The flavors leaned more fusion than authentic Japanese. If ingredient cost is the issue, I'd gladly pay a few dollars more for a better fish-to-filler ratio. The stir-fried soba with "vegetables" was also disappointing. The noodles didn't taste like Japanese buckwheat soba, and the both the taste + presentation reminded me of instant ramen. The flavor was decent but nothing memorable, and there were only a few pieces of zucchini--nowhere near enough vegetables to justify the name of the dish. The service was good overall. Our server was very sweet and friendly but definitely could use more training. While we were both trying to read the single menu, she interrupted to take our order instead of asking if we needed another minute--or even better, bringing us a second menu. Not a huge issue, but not especially pro or polished. As we were finishing, we ordered a couple of takeout items for a family member. The server kindly offered to package our leftovers with the takeout, which was appreciated. However, when the bill arrived, 1 of the takeout dishes was missing. It took a while to get her attention, and when we did, she reprinted the check without explaining how much longer the forgotten item would take. She did swing back to say she'd ask the chef to expedite, but we still waited quite a while, making us late for a meeting. As for the takeout, the Valentine Roll was just ok, similar to the signature roll we had at lunch. We also ordered a tuna roll, yellowtail roll, and sweet potato roll. None were bad, but they lacked the flavor we expected. Whether it was the rice or the ingredients, they just didn't stand out. Overall, it was a nice lunch. The beautiful restaurant, fresh sashimi, generous salad, and excellent appetizer showed a lot of promise. Unfortunately, too many of the rolls relied on fillers instead of fish, the soba missed the mark, and there were a few service missteps. They're very close--just a handful of small, doable improvements could elevate the experience from okay to outstanding. I hope they do.

As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Melinda, one of our favorite waitresses, and were seated right away. May, who was also working tonight, promptly came over to take our order. She politely asked if we needed menus, but I declined since we already knew exactly what we wanted. We've had this same exchange with May quite a few times during our recent visits. We ordered our usual: the Sushi for Two, which comes with two specialty rolls and 18 pieces of sushi. Tonight we chose the Dozo Dozo and the Futomaki Special rolls. The meal also comes with either soup or salad, and tonight we both chose the soup. That's how much we love this dish. We had just returned from a two-week trip to South Florida this past Saturday, and the very next day--Sunday--we came here and ordered the exact same meal. And here we are again tonight doing the same. This restaurant consistently serves some of the freshest, premium-quality fish around. Tonight's 18 pieces included bluefin tuna, O-toro, king salmon, scallops, sea bass, red snapper, fluke, yellowtail, and Spanish mackerel. Every piece was tender and incredibly fresh. Yes, the price reflects the quality--but you absolutely get what you pay for. In my experience, there are not many sushi restaurants on Long Island that consistently serve fish of this caliber. We left once again completely satisfied, which is exactly why this place remains one of our weekly go-to spots.
