I got their take out bento box curry potato croquettes which came with fried chicken, California roll, white rice, and miso soup. The curry sauce was really tasty, loved the fried chicken pieces, California roll was not so good though, but overall it was worth trying out. read more

Pretty darn good with the people, the food, the decor. For a small establishment, you can leave with a decent bill where you'd be full and carry out a belief that the money was well spent. One star is removed because they serve hot tea in plastic cups. WHY are you pouring hot liquid in things that can melt?? read more

My favorite local spot when I need some delicious food! The menu offers a generous spread for a super reasonable price. Have been coming here for many many years since they've opened and really miss the option to dine in. Hopefully they bring that back soon but until then, I'll still be back for the amazing food. read more

I really wanted to love Longevousjoy for its ramen as I don't think Bensonhurst, Gravesend, Brighton and any neighborhood "south" South Brooklyn has a decent ramen joint. In some ways, this place reminded me of Rai Rai Ken before Manhattan had an Ippudo, Setagaya, Minca or my favorite Santouka inside Mitsuwa in NJ, i.e. it's ramen but it's not really ramen, if you get what I mean. In fairness, I don't think the place is really interested in becoming an authentic ramen joint so ultimately I'm rating this restaurant with that in mind. Our first visit we had the black sesame ramen and curry ramen, the grilled pork belly and takoyaki. Seeing the black sesame ramen,I didn't know what to make of the broth which was milky whereas the noodles themselves didn't live on the same zipcode as some of those places mentioned above. The curry ramen and takoyaki were forgettable and the grilled pork belly had an unpleasant flavor as if it were doused in alcohol and then burned. We could've just forgotten this experience but I really wanted to love this place. Several weeks later we had "ma la" fish ramen, a katsu udon and the popular squid appetizer. Now this got better.... the squid was actually quite delicious, the katsu udon the wife liked and the "ma la" fish ramen, for me *almost* worked. I love Sichuan food, btw, and cook myself so I'm very well acquainted with the "ma la" profile that balances "numbing" hot (hua jiao) with "spicy" hot but in this particular application, it tasted gimmicky. To be fair, the fish was nicely cooked but the broth for me felt more like an experiment and was still suspect. Last time we were here I had the regular pork/charsiu ramen, yeah, with that effin milky broth, the wife craved sushi so I let her suffer her choices... This time I really adjusted my expectations keeping in mind that if I craved "ramen" closeby then it's either Longevousjoy or Nissin's, so ah here you go, 3 stars. Reality check: I don't think I've seen a single Japanese resident in "south" South Brooklyn so I doubt there will be enough of a community to demand authentic Japanese food but if midtown Sapporo suddenly opened up a branch in 86th street then Longevousjoy shall quickly turn into a faint memory. read more

I love this place for their okonoyaki pancake and sushi! I haven't tried their takoyaki yet but it heard it's good too. My favorite sushi is their shrimp tempura because it's different from most basic sushi restaurants. I'm so glad they have a place near the train station so it's convenient. read more

Food here isn't so great, but it is one of the few restaurants that offer ramen in the neighborhood. I got the black sesame tan tan noodles. I've tried their ramen in the past and this is the only one I find somewhat tasty. Back then it would come with so much black sesame sauce or whatever in the soup, but this time there was hardly any so that was a disappointment. In fact, I'm not even sure if there was any now that I look back at the picture I took. The black sesame really boosts the flavor of the soup, and without it, it was actually quite bland and not rich enough. My boyfriend got the salmon teriyaki bent box. It is pretty typical. Came with a California roll, rice, and 2 gyozas. The gyozas were quite oily and had very little filling. While this isn't the best place to go to for Japanese cuisine, it is, in my opinion, one of the better ones in the neighborhood. read more

I have been to this Reataurant numerous times since I found its existence. They probably have some of the best sushi in the area. The place is not big so can get busy quickly and cause a wait. But if you don't want to drive far and spend the big bucks in the city then it's totally worth the wait. First of all, They don't use powder wasabi, they use real wasabi that are frozen which means you sushi just tasted 50X better by using better wasabi. Then comes their ingredients. Their spicy tuna is great. Philadelphia roll is awesome, they use pretty fresh ingredients and you can see they put thoughts into their work. They are not a Restarant who just "rolls" rolls. Their sushi actually taste super good and fresh! Uni, they have lots of uni dishes. If you like Uni, then this place is it! They have uni over rice, eel over uni, uni over ikura... I often get a tummyache from here because I always end up eating tooooo much! Their HOT FOOD is average. That's the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. read more

I don't know why this place had the low ratings I came here 2 times and both times food was 5/5 for me. Fish was fresh and the UNI was soooooo good! Trust me if you eat uni you know it's a hit or miss... omg the beef don over rice is a must have if you want cooked food I'm drooling just thinking about it. Gonna go order now haha read more

I always come here for their $12 special of the 4 roll combo. Their rolls are pretty good. They throw toppings on top of the cali-rolls such as spicy salmon, spicy scallop or crab meat. It's unique and delicious. I always order their curry katsu's and their huge tray of sushi and sashimi. The food is always good and it is my go-to place for lunch/dinner whenever I am in the neighborhood. read more

First time eating at this place, got to said everything was good no complaints. When going inside it look pretty small and kinda dark with 30-40 seating's. On the wall they have empty bottles of sake which they are promoting for sale. place is also comfortable and staffs are nice and friendly and knowledgeable about what in the menu. Food: the Takoyaki donuts which is also are called the octopus donuts they were so good and tasty. Also got the chicken sticks, thought the dish would have came with more then 2 sticks of chicken but it was good. For 4.50 and only 2 sticks so not worth it. also got the half dozen fresh oysters that was awesome and so good and got 6 rolls of sushi. Overall everything was great and will be coming back soon. read more

The food here has gone downhill compared to 2012. Surprisingly, the fish dishes are good for the price for a non AYCE place. Actually, I think their appetizers are delish too, well most of it but they are pricey. However, practically all their main dishes I've tried are ranging from horrible to non edible. Their safest main dish are probably fried udon. Very soggy and salty. But gyudon, oyakodon, ramen... all ugh. I can't believe some of you recommend it. Especially the oyakodon...wtf was that. Sure it might taste okay if you never had it. But if you ever ate authentic Japanese then I warn ya. Don't get their main dishes. read more

Sushi is VERY fresh!!! Highly recommend their sashimi and sushi & sashimi platters. Had their stir fried noodles, which is also really good as well. The braised beef tripe and curry fish balls are okay; not worth getting. Restaurant is SUPER busy so definitely call ahead to order and then do pick up. read more

This place started off terribly for me! First time ordering sushi from them, my bf and I got terrible diarrhea that lasted two days. I guess it was a hit or miss! They probably left my food out too long when I went to go pick up. I did set a time to when I was gonna go pick up as well. Sigh. Horrrrribleeeee experience, I'm never going back! read more

When I saw this place 5 blocks from where I live, I couldn't be happier. As a recent ramen addict, it was painful only having ramen when I had a chance to go to Manhattan (or Gowanus). Unfortunately the ramen paled to other ramen shops' offerings (namely Naruto, Ippudo, or ZuZu). The broth and noodles were alright, but nothing to write home about. Pork wasn't nearly as tender as I expect in ramen - rather tough actually. Perhaps worst of all was that it wasn't very hot. The ramen was room temperature before I even finished it, but maybe it was due to how late my girlfriend and I got there (about 10 minutes before closing). My girlfriend had one of their spicier ramens, and she was a fan. On another occasion we came here we had the kick ass fries, and they were lukewarm when served. I really don't understand it. I'll probably keep coming here for ramen due to the very fair price and proximity, and because I can't get enough of it, but I genuinely hope it improves - ramen isn't meant to be just OK. read more

Some of the other reviews have stated that this is the best Japanese in Brooklyn, but that's not a difficult title to earn with the limited selection of Japanese in Brooklyn...Especially if you are looking in the south-western parts of Brooklyn (Bensonhurst, Bay Ridge, Dyker, Bath Beach, etc. areas) My wife was craving authentic ramen like the kind you can get in Manhattan near St. Mark's. A quick Yelp search for ramen in Bay Ridge gave us a lot of results, but most were categorized as Chinese, or Fusion, etc. This one was plainly categorized as Japanese, so we went here hoping for the best. The decor is nice, but seating is limited. The restaurant is not large, and you will be sitting in close proximity to others. We came on a Tuesday evening and were seated immediately. Service was good; tea was brought out immediately and refilled without us having to ask. It was easy to get the attention of the staff as well. Empty bowls were promptly removed. We got our bowls of ramen; I got the tonkatsu and my wife got the Black Ssesame Tan Tan. Presentation gets an A in my book, but unfortunately that's about it. The tonkatu's pork was tender and seasoned properly, and my broth was pretty good. The Black Sesame Tan Tan's broth was not as good and came with ground meat bits (I think it was pork). The ramen noodles in both of ours did not taste like authentic Japanese ramen but rather the cheap dry packages you can get at a Chinese supermarket. Needless to say, we were disappointed, and even shocked when we later left the restaurant and saw on the storefront that their noodles are allegedly homemade. Moving on...we decided to add 3 sushi rolls to our order. (BTW, 3 rolls now cost $12, so at $4 per roll, the deal's pricing is nothing to write home about.) We ordered a crazy salmon roll, spicy tuna roll, and an eel avocado roll. The rolls came out on a nice wooden sushi serving board and arranged neatly. The spicy tuna roll was indeed spicy, but to the point where the tuna's flavor was masked. The crazy salmon roll had some sort of sweet orange-ish mix of salmon stuff with crunch, sitting on top of a basic salmon roll. Sweet+sushi don't really mix, in my opinion. Finally, the eel avocado roll, while decent in the amount of eel it came with, was spoiled by the overly sweet sauce. The sauce tasted syrupy and was very runny and ran along the bottom of our wooden serving board and touched our other rolls. Total bill came out to about $39 after tax and tip. The majority of the bill was due to the ramen at $10 per bowl. At that price, a better choice may have been all you can eat sushi which is plentiful along 86 St. in Bensonhurst. read more

*Review is only for take out sushi - 4 rolls for $12* I heard their ramen was bad so I decided to try their sushi...and I was very disappointed. The first thing I noticed was how rude the man by the cashier was. He seemed very impatient when taking my order and also began to speak on his cell phone when I asked for the wait time. The food came very quick though, around 5 minutes or so. Maybe that's why the rolls were so bland. The sushi rice was mushy and warm, and the fish didn't taste fresh. None of the rolls stood out, and I've had way better. The restaurant was also empty and I went at around 5:30pm. If you want sushi in Bay Parkway, just skip this place and head to Fugu Sushi. Fugu isn't the best, but it is much better than this place. Giving this 2 stars instead of 1 because they might have good appetizers, and this was only based on the sushi and service. read more

This place is awesome, they have the spring sashimi special for $20, comes with 2 fatty salmon, 3 pieces of uni, salmon, octopus, cherrystone etc. The fish was very fresh and tasty, no fishy smell at all. The wasabi was the real wasabi, not the fake one a lot of restaurants give. They have ramen, sushi, rolls and other things. I will definitely go back for the spring sashimi and perhaps try other things. read more

Casual, neighborhood restaurant serving a hodgepodge of Japanese-style eats. As expected in an area without notable Asian culinary destinations and a Chinese staff, the food bears only a passing resemblance to the real thing. But that should not be why you come here. Tiny place next to the Early Bird supermarket, very dark inside both from wall color and low lighting even during the day, a casual setting. The colorful menu has inviting pictures of dishes all over, offering variations of ramen, udon, yakisoba, tonkatsu, takoyaki, sushi and rolls, and various manners of fried foods. I found the food adequately seasoned, the fried foods (tonkatsu, fries) respectably done, and portions generous. Udon noodles were toothsome, but nothing you couldn't easily prepare at home; broth on the salty side, toppings unmemorable. Tomato seafood yakisoba featured a few pieces of squid and shrimp with noodles tossed in a soy and ketchup flavored sauce; tasted decent but mediocre, and not freshly made. A California roll was on par with usual take-out sushi places, with clumped rice. Wasabi shumai were well-steamed but not homemade. Longevousjoy is cheap, convenient eats, fine for take-out, with decently cooked food, and offers something different than anything else in the area. But if you're discerning about Japanese food, either check those expectations at the door or don't come at all. read more

I love how the decor and menu at this place. That's where the love ends and why I won't come here again. It looks very much like an authentic Izakaya restaurant but fail spectacularly in trying to represent japanese bar and cuisine. The sapporo draft I ordered had some foreign object in it which ended up in my mouth. The drink was replaced and they claimed it was garlic but I disagree. The best seller roll combo was was smothered in sauces to where you weren't able to taste any fish it was supposed to represent. The cucumber in it also was kind of stale. Lack of Izakaya places around this area might have me back but it wont be for any rolls/sushi or raw seafood. read more

Came here really late -- 1 hour before closing time, and the whole place was still packed! There were just two seats empty that was facing away from everyone and I was seated there with my friend. We flipped through the menu a thousand times, wondering what to get since the prices were crazy, but I insisted that it was worth it thanks to yelp. For appetizer, we had a spicy scallop sushi ($7 for two) which I will admit was really good if they had any soy sauce on the table for us to use!! I ordered a typical miso ramen and my friend had a Mala fish ramen. My miso ramen had a lot of seaweed in it, and the broth was really good as well. The ramen itself was really "crunchy" which was good. My friend's ramen was really spicy, (according to me) and he said there was a lot of fish in it which makes the price worth it. Over all our experience was good. Our server insisted translating all our orders out loud in Chinese for some reason ...and either he don't have soy sauce anymore or he decided not to give us any for some odd reason. read more

I'm sure you've heard this saying before but this restaurant is the "Kenkas" of bensonhurst! Lol Their decor and menu r very similar. I took my husband here for the dinner the other night after having lunch here a few times without him, he loved it. Close to home and u and don't have to travel all the way to Soho to get authentic Japanese dishes. Our favorites r the rice bowls and sashimi special platters! Their appetizers r delish too! Who doesnt live takoyaki octopus balls and gyoza right?! Lol They r smaller so we had to wait for about 20 mins on that Saturday night when I took him to dinner which I feel is reasonable since I have waited over a hour for Kenkas before and it was just for a party of two! The only difference in the menu that I noticed is that their alcoholic beverage menu isn't as wide as Kenkas and they don't have the rice balls either. Other than that the food here is delish! Give it a try! :) read more

I first came to this small spot 6 years ago on quite possibly my very first date with my now husband. I'm not a fan of raw sushi and still remember it was the first time I tried a tuna roll. For some reason, we only ever went back once but I recently craved a donburi and this is the only place nearby that has it so decided to take my mom and kids along with A here. We came back again just a few weeks later and between those two visit we ordered ramen, a katsu donburi, salmon teriyaki, curry katsu rice, chili fries, chicken wings, pork belly skewers, and the toro. Everything tasted good, though the donburi was too sweet for my taste. I especially liked the katsu curry, chili fries, and teriyaki salmon and would definitely get those again. It's a small place but we always got seat because we came early around 5 in the evening. The servers are all really nice and smiled at my baby a lot. :) The decor and ambiance remind me of an izakaya from St.Mark's/Tokyo. We noticed lots of people ordering take-out, which we plan to do too more often now. read more

I can't say anything about their food, but service and manners are clearly lacking severely in this establishment. Will not ever become one of their customers! On a weekday afternoon, my grandma and her friend saw that this place wasn't packed or anything so they decided to come here for lunch. The waiter approaches as if he's going to seat them. On the contrary, he refuses my grandma and her friend. Why didn't he want to seat them, you ask? Oh, because they "cater to a younger crowd". .........Um let me try to process that again... nope, don't get it... what!?! If only, IF ONLY, I were there when this happened so that I could slap some respect and humanity into him. I could possibly understand the age discrimination if this were a nightclub, but you're only a restaurant. Why you gotta be so rude? After hearing this from my grandma, I felt so sorry that she and her friend had to experience this disrespect. They are both very kind Asian ladies and do not deserve this at all. Can you imagine your grandma getting this kind of treatment?! I still can't believe this happened... are they for real? If this is the company's policy, shame on the restaurant, and I wish you great and imminent failure. But if this one mindless worker decided to just create this stupid reason upon seeing elders at the door, shame on him, and I hope that he will also receive the same treatment when he is old. Because karma is a bitch. read more

First and foremost, I've been here since the beginning and their service has deteriorated completely. My biggest motivation behind this review is the inadequacy of their management to change the restaurants' hours online across different platforms. On Google, they open at "11am" and Yelp they open at 12pm; which is absolutely okay if they would tell us while my girlfriend and I waited in pouring rain for them to open, but instead the servers just looked on from the inside and stood there - literally like we were zoo animals. It probably wouldn't take that much effort or English to open the door slightly and tell us, but of course it's easier to just let potential customers stand in the rain not knowing what the correct opening time is (also don't have hours outside their restaurant). The worst part is that I even knocked on the door, and the server just looked at me and turned around; again, while we were in the rain. This is a problem because business aside, nobody should treat other people like this. If they hope to expand their business, i hope they become better people before they correct their services. I will never come here again and will never recommend anyone here. Also, food is subpar anyway. The irony of this place is that they pose as a Japanese restaurant, but authentic Japanese food culture is known - aside from the freshness and legitimacy of the food - to provide some of the best and most familial food services. This place achieves none of that. read more
