    Lunch special-Any 3 Rolls Lunch: white tuna scallion, eel avocado, salmon cucumber
    Audrey L.

    This spot is good for sushi rolls and sashimi if you're not looking for anything too fancy. I have dined in and ordered takeout from here and the food was good every time. Their lover's boat is generous portion-wise and the rolls were very tasty. The miso soup, sadly, is subpar. I was also a bit put off by the fact that when I went there last week, the price on the menu was outdated, so I was charged more for my meal than I was expecting, which was an unpleasant surprise.

    My order
    Magdelyn G.

    Once again I ate my food without taking a photo, I hate it lol. I remember after. Attached is a photo of my order. I got two different rolls. I ordered through Grubhub. I crossed out all the personal info. My first roll was the king crab roll. They were wrapped small so I didn't get a lot of the crab taste from it but I still thought it really good. The roll was shaped nicely and clean. My second roll was the salmon tempura roll and what a mess. The roll was huge and kept falling apart. It's like no effort was made in wrapping it and making it look nice. On the other hand it tasted delicious. Probably wouldn't order this specific roll again, but it tasted good. If you ask me would I order again from here YES, but I'd search Yelp for photos next time. I've had worse sushi so would definitely try this place again

    Seared Tuna Salad

    A dependable option for sushi in the neighborhood, have always enjoyed anything we've gotten from here. The Astoria Roll is a new favorite, as well as the salmon dumplings. Will have the tuna dumplings next. Unique and delicious, it has avocado, scallion and crunch inside and is served with a wasabi vinaigrette sauce (not spicy). The seared tuna salad was an interesting texture bc it's seared, would have enjoyed more if raw, it was made better by the salad and dressing that comes with it. The blue crab summer roll was a little underwhelming, the sundried tomato was interesting to try but wasn't for us. Service was good, friendly. There are only a few tables inside.

    a plate of sushi and a bowl of sauce

    Been trying to find a good local sushi spot and came across this place on Grubhub. Looked promising and prices weren't too crazy. Long story short, the taste is not bad and loved that they used real crab but the size and quantity is so small. It's comparable to a chain supermarket sushi pack just more expensive and less pieces. Not to mention they made one of the sushi's wrong. A bit disappointing. I would try them again though based on the fact that the taste was decent and I didn't get sick the next day. (Sushi looks much bigger in the pictures)

    Six Flags Roll
    Tiffany A.

    This place is down the street from me and that is very dangerous (because I will keep spending all my money on sushi). They have Delicious, fresh, sushi and a great lunch special. The six flag roll is to die for!

    A fly on the sushi
    Gabriella S.

    If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Ordered sushi from here and there was a fly walking around on top of the sushi while the container was still closed. After seeing the fly. We refused to eat the meal. We Called the restaurant and they said they said they can only refund the sushi not the whole meal. The lady was rude and said you can just eat the miso soup, then hung up didn't even apologize. After seeing the fly we don't trust eating the rest of the meal. This is unsanitary and unacceptable. Especially when they, serve literal raw fish. Do not eat here. Literally DISGUSTED

    A little better than my first visit. Junko has greatly improved service and quality of food choices. Though it is best known for its vegetarian dishes, this sushi restaurant has a decent chicken teriyaki. I might be back.

    This place is the best. It has amazing stuff and people and my family is close with the owner. They are friendly welcoming and good people. The food is always so amazing I recommend 10/10. Best experience going there. There delivery is also amazing and food still is great.

    Katerina K.

    Ordered take out from here and I was pleasantly surprised. They have great quality dishes and their sushi tastes amazing! They also use real crab in their rolls which is a huge plus. Will definitely be my new go-to for sushi!

    Ambiance (5/5): Super cute and trendy on the inside. The vibes are very welcoming, chill, no noise…read more The establishment is quite small and can be very tight on seating. The wait was around 30 minutes for 4 on at 1:30p on a Sunday. By the time our meal ended, there were several empty tables. Service (4/5): Timing of the dishes was not in sync with the table (not that that bad, just noticeable). Ordering wasn't as smooth as we hoped but all in all corrected (order was wrong but was corrected when we were asked to re-confirm the order). By the time we sat, the food was out within 20 min and then the pancakes came out another 20 min after the first dish. Food (5/5): The food was outstanding! Seriously like everything from the pancakes, ramen, to the lemonade. Lunch special of Tan Tan ramen (special May 2026) and Pork Cha-Shu Bowl. Tan Tan was spectacular and was def better than the bowl. The broth had so much flavor with richness, spice, spicy level, half seasoned egg. The noodles were also a lovely bouncy chew. The pork was pretty standard with about 5 thin slices spread over a soy sauce based sauce. Omurice was very silky. The egg was nice and runny. I liked that the sauce wasn't too ketchup-flavor forward. I enjoyed the rice which had bits of meat which gave it more flavor too. Crème Anglaise Souffle Pancake - my only wish was that there was more of it because it was so good. The cream that was on top was not too heavy and the zest flavors blended surprisingly well. It comes with a little side of fresh fruit. The cake was not overly egg-y in flavor either. Lavender Lemonade - Not too tart and not too sweet. I liked the forward lavender taste.

Just something to keep in mind when you walk in. My friends and I did family style and ordered the Omurice, Vert Frais Matcha Soufflé Pancake, Matcha French Toast, and Large Fries. The French fries came out first and were basically McDonald's fries with a little Parmesan sprinkled on it. Everything looked pretty and instagrammable but at most tasted just okay. I wasn't in love with the Omurice sauce which tasted more tomato-based than I prefer. The soufflé was nice and fluffy but the pancake itself didn't really have flavor. The matcha French toast took the cake for me. It was soft and crunchy on the crust. My group ordered drink as well and the total ended up being $120+ with tip. Way more expensive than I was expecting, but I was happy to treat my friends to a nice birthday brunch. Come for the photos and aesthetic, but don't expect much when it comes to the food.

Dashi Okume sells ... you guessed it ... dashi. They sell several kinds, and you can taste all of them there in the shop before deciding which to take home with you (I tried them all and went home with one bag of vegetable dashi and one bag of sweet shellfish dashi). They also make custom-made dashi. You can choose from around 30 ingredients - dried fish, seaweed, mushrooms, and vegetables. They grind it up and put into individual bags for you. Such a fun idea, but I thought I should try some of their pre-made dashi options before creating mine own. They also sell miso, rice, noodles, rice seasoning, seaweed, tea, and other items. I picked up some Japanese mustard, seaweed, and rice seasoning to take home with my dashi. Beyond being a great shop, they also have a cafe area where they offer a teishoku set meal - you pick your fish, which comes with tea, rice, miso soup, pickles, and sides. They also offer an omakase popup. The shop is beautiful, and the service was very friendly and helpful. I'll certainly return for more shopping but next time I plan to make a meal of it and try their teishoku set.

I always order their "obento box", which comes with a choice of an entrée from their daily-rotating list (so cute how they write them on a few chalkboards that they move around the restaurant for whoever's ordering). Everything I've ordered has always been delicious, from the various fish dishes (salmon / arctic char are particular favourites), the stir-fried pork, and their sushi rolls. The salad is invariably so fresh, and the small side of obanzai is always a treat :) Price point is unparalleled -- I think the bento was priced at $12 when I first came a few years ago, and it's still $12 now. Such a lovely cute restaurant -- service is fast and friendly, and the interior, while a bit small, is definitely very cosy and has that unique rustic Japanese aesthetic to it (including a lot of their tableware). This is definitely a must-try in the area, and I will no doubt be back very soon!

    Cuisine: 6 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 6 Overall: 6 I have to preface that, if I had reviewed Hibino in the past, they likely would have received 4 stars. Unfortunately, my latest experience was such a letdown that I have to average that into this review. My usual order here over 10+ years has always been their Kaisen Don, which had some of the better quality sushi rice available in Queens. If you don't think sushi rice is important, then skip my review. If you do, then know that my preference is slight warm rice that does not clump together, with a nice touch of vinegar. Hibino seems to get this part right regularly, but not this past Sunday. It was cold, clumpy, and super light on seasoning. Furthermore, as soon as the bowl arrived, I was a bit skeptical since it's not the usual square box filled with premium goodies. Instead, it was a smaller round bowl with relatively common pieces of sashimi. In the past, there were toro, ikura, uni and scallop, but none were present on Sunday. The only premium pieces I received was the spotted prawn. The rest were salmon, yellowtail, bluefin tuna, sea bass, and arctic char. More importantly, some of the sashimi pieces were somewhat mushy and slightly fishy, not the best quality. On the other hand, we also ordered their Chirashi, which had seared toro, yellowfin tuna, salmon belly, yellowtail belly, shrimp, and flying fish roe. Between the proteins and rice is a layer of shredder egg. Sadly, rice was still cold and lacked flavor, but the egg did help a bit. Though I prefer the thin slices of sashimi in the Kaisen Don over the chunky pieces of fish in the Chirashi, I did prefer the latter on that day. Bottom line, I will give them another chance, but the downgrade on the quality of rice and premium seafood in the Kaisen Don was a major disappointment. Praying my next visit restores my faith in the restaurant.

However, after the first time trying it, my partner and I were blown away by the quality of the meal. The portions we got were way more than any other Japanese set meal restaurant in NYC, and for under $40 you can't really get any better than Honzen. Each set includes miso soup, fresh sashimi of the day, uni topped tofu custard, pickled vegetables, eggplant, pickles, and your main dish. Our favorite has to be the katsu, it's probably the best value item on the menu. The miso cod was also excellent, super buttery and tasty while not being too expensive. Both options are available under $40. I would also recommend just ordering the standard Japanese rice, since it's already very filling as it is and we've never needed any of the rice with additions. Service can be a bit slow if you come later in the evening, which is understandable as it gets busier with all the set meals coming out. Ambiance is super cozy, with a sit down area that has cushions and a low table. Can't really go wrong with any spot in the restaurant. We come back here all the time when we're craving something homey and filling, would recommend Honzen!

Service was lovely, even though it seems like mostly 2 people running the floor, they're doing an amazing job. They're quick, very much like omakase at table, it felt like we were getting new handrolls every 2 min. From sitting down to getting the check, 45 min. It's not a huge place but ample seating and space, good sound architecture, not crazy noisy or overstimulating. Low warm ambient lighting. We got a mix of different hand rolls. We each ended up with 4-5 rolls each and felt like we could've honestly stopped at 3, but def wanted to try everything. We felt like the portion sizes were more than fair, they pack it in with fish and we felt very full by the end. Spicy Salmon was lovely, salmon quality was very fresh and the sauce brought out nice flavors. Didn't love the regular Salmon handroll, for some reason the Salmon felt/tasted different, thought it was even smoked salmon at first. The Scallop was nice, good quality, felt like the toppings could've worked better to bring out the sweet butter flavors of scallop more. The Uni was nice, MP (19.50 the day we went) Quality was good but again wish they worked a little more with the details to bring out the uni flavors a bit more. It was getting a bit muted for me. My friend loved the Shrimp tempura and the Wagyu, good balanced flavors and nice textures. We had the Yellowtail last and at that point was so full so wasn't vibing as much but they def pack in the yellowtail, I liked the idea of the rice puffs for texture but not sure if the bite felt fully right ~ Overall quality of the fish, seaweed and rice 8/10 Could work on bringing out some lighter complimentary textures/flavors but could also be my personal preference :))
