Native to the borough of queens it was a journey to visit this establishment (1.5hrs). Thank goodness it was close to the station (literally across the street from the Bay Parkway -N train station). It was confusing to find the place due to the name not being posted in the front. Walking in the place, there were seats on the sides of the restaurants and sectionals on the left side (perhaps for people that dont like open concept dining). Seating is also available in the lower level with a back room for a private party. My friend booked the private room for a group of 9 people. The room was perfectly sized for 9 people. We were able to move a set of tables to one side of the room, which made it more comfortable for the 9 seats. Honestly, I dont think that room can fit more than 12 people (guess it also depends on the size of the people as well). Imagine bedroom size (not master bedroom). I was very grateful that we were allowed to come in a little early to freely rearrange the room and decorate. Although so much potential can be done with the room 1 star off). They need to touched up the paint on the walls. Love that there was central ac so the air was well circulated and silent. We were served by Jimmy, who was very attentive, polite, patient, nice, generous, exceptional and made the surprise birthday party more special with recommendations! He made little adjustments that was very thoughtful (such as the takoyaki is usually served in 8 pcs he gave an extra one just so 9 people can have their own- he made sure to serve for 9ppl) He definitely made the experience comforting and welcoming. We appreciate his service!! In regards to the food, they have a variation of takoyaki, cold dishes (marinated baby octopus, seaweed salad, kani salad, raw octopus), soy marinated eggs that was perfectly cook so the yolk is still golden yellow (like the ones in ramen), calamari, perfectly deep fried oysters (perfectly as in it was very well batter with the retention of crispiness on the outside and moist oysters inside), fries, and grilled squid with stuffed imitation crab meat. For the entrees we had two sets of sashimi platters. The cuts were thick and very fresh. Sashimi is not my cup of tea but my friends enjoyed it ALOT and it did look appealing. I in the other hand enjoyed their dragon roll, eel cucumber roll, shrimp tempura roll! There was also mussels with slightly scorched kewpie mayo on top which was very taste but I think it should have less mayo as it can cover the taste of the oyster. There was also slightly scorched tuna which was very good and I highly recommend - its like a medium rare scorched tuna on a bed of rice topped with little cuts of scallion. We were given complimentary stir fry egg noodle (yee mein) the "longevity noodles" that are also served at special occasions in Chinese restaurants. A complimentary bottle was also opened for us to celebrate the occasion. Also their water pitchers already have lemon slices in them!! And their rice tea is amazing! I would recommend the place if you want fresh Sashimi platters, tasty appetizers and sushi rolls, affordable prices, and excellent service!! read more

Never judge a book by its cover. I've always thought this is one of those expensive Asian sushi places. But I was wrong This place is small but has tons of options. The menus mostly had Japanese small dishes. And that's what it's mostly known for. The fried squid was truly one of the best I've had. Perfectly seasoned and just so so good. The sushi we had was okay, we had the rolls. But I've heard the raw fish was pretty fresh. But I don't eat raw fish. Definitely will come back for the small dishes. read more

After this place switched management, their service has dropped SO much. My family used to come here twice a week and now every time we come, IF we do, it's a gamble. Literally spent an extra $5 to make SURE we got an extra piece of scallop in our order but we didn't get ANY, PLUS they forgot the pieces that were supposed to come in the order itself. What exactly am I paying for? The amount of times I've dealt with stinky fish, missing dishes from my order, and overall less than mediocre food is sad read more

Such a bang for your buck izakaya nestled in the Asian parts of Brooklyn. A great place to catch up over beer, fried foods, and Japanese dishes that cover your comfort food from ramen, dons, & sushi. An izakaya wouldn't be complete without picture and comics taped all over its walls and Longevous definitely has that covered. Their scallop roll is delicious and their unagi don is deeply satisfying. Love this place! read more

Longevousjoy - 4 rolls for 12 special takeout - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

First experience on 8.8.15 --- I came here to celebrate my Sis-in-law's birthday with my Cheung family. The décor and size of this place reminds me so much of Saint Marks. Small (not baby with stroller friendly) but cozy indeed. The interior is dark and kinda mysterious yet helps to block other people from peeping at your table and looking at what you are eating. I recall the experience to be fair. My family enjoyed the appetizers a lot more than the sushi though which were not that special looking and tasting. Maybe it had something to do with the rice. This is based on my opinion on the cooked sushi rolls. I couldn't tell if the raw sushi and sashimi were any good because I was pregnant at the time and couldn't intake any raw food. I just remember the appetizers being extra delicious and they have quite a variety on the menu. Second experience on 11.12.16 --- A year later, my Cheung family came back to order sushi platters (3 different kinds) to go because I have a toddler which makes it impossible to eat outdoors nowadays. This time around I was able to eat all the RAWness I want haha. The sashimi, by itself, is great, FRESH, and delicious. However, the sushi, is just OK... . which confirms what my family members had told me last year when I couldn't have any that contained raw fish. Now in terms of the sushi, cooked and raw, I know for sure that the main issue is the rice part which needs more vinegar! This issue seems to be in existence for a year's length of time. Has anyone spoken about this on Yelp yet? I think if they improve on that, they would probably gain an extra star or two from me!! Not sure how often we will order from Longevousjoy again. But for the price and ok quality, this is a better choice than some of the other sushi restaurants in the neighborhood. read more

Longevousjoy OVERALL: 8.5/10 A+ for original, they have a lot of stuff that I do not regularly see on a sushi menu. They are creative and definitely affordable. FOOD We got the Hokkaido bowl, devilish spicy ramen? The sushi favorites combo, takoyaki and some other ish. The Hokkaido bowl was delish, it barely made the worth it side but its okay. I think I coulda gotten more outta the money ordering other stuff. The devilish spicy ramen was okay, very thick sauce but not spicy enough IMO. SERVICE Service was okay, what they gotta do is clean their basement cuz there was some hugeeee stench downstairs idk what it was but it was BADDDD. WILL I COME BACK? Yes, I like this place a lottles. #sushi #sashimi #foodie #foodstagram #yummy read more

I'll say this is one of the best Japanese restaurant in the Bensonhurst area. I always come here for lunch and dinner and no disappoint. They change up their menu a lot and always came up with new dishes. You'll definitely enjoy their food if you are a sushi lover and open to try some Japanese fusion dishes. The OMG Roll is off the menu but it is my favorite! You can always ask the waiter the speciality roll options. read more

Their quality of sushi really went down. Ordered from here recently for xmas dinner and noticed the sushi sizes literally shrunk. Sushi pcs are SO tiny now. I dont know if its cos they linked sushi and hk spot together and just overwhelmed, but their quality of food is poor now. We used to love longevousjoy and it was our goto sushi spot. But after the recent order, its just hard to try them again.. we couldnt even finish the sushi cos it wasnt great. I hope they really look into this and start to fix their problems. read more

We called to order food first and told it takes 30 minutes. When we arrived, we have to wait additional 30 minutes. We went to the counter again, it takes additional 5-10 minutes. 10 minutes later, additional 5 minutes. I offered to pay first so I can pick up the food. Cashier automatically telling me she's not splitting the bill amd I never mention about splitting bill. Just bad manner. No apology. Pricing is average, food quality not impressive and not that tasty. Timing and waiting is completely off. Customer service is below average. All the customer is asking for is not foul them or brushed them off with excuses. Time is important and please respect your customers their times during this covid pandemic and not having your customer waiting in crowded waiting room. read more

The worst food i ever had. First of all i went there in person to have it to go. They looked me in a disgusting look. Secondly when i placed the order with them they seem like they were in a rush to serve customers when there's no one in the restaurant. Third when i got the food the soup base was cold and i asked them why is the soup cold isn't it supposed to be hot? Fourth when i brought it back home i found out they messed up with my order i told them no avocados and wassbi bc i was allergic. I didn't know the sauce was wassbi. Fifth me and my god sis end up getting sick. Diaherra all night and also this morning. Service sucks and food wasn't fresh. Stay away read more

3.5 Stars. I liked: - Stuffed squid with crab meat - pretty good! - FRIES Best seller combo: basically 3 california rolls with 2 of them having toppings - spicy scallop and spicy salmon, and an eel roll. It was not what I imagined... usually they're inside the rolls instead of being just on top... Bowl with assorted sashimi: it was okay, with uni and scallop and salmon and some squid... They speak canto here! Bathroom is clean. read more

My favorite local sushi spot to dine and order take out from. For dining in, I always have their uni because it's the best in the neighborhood. Their Salmon Feast is a good option for someone that likes salmon. This combination has sushi, sashimi, salmon roll, grilled salmon, and kani salad. Their fries and fried squid lips are some of my favorites too. When I end up waiting too long for a table, I just order take-out instead. They have this 4 rolls for $11 deal and it's pretty amazing, you get fresh delicious sushi rolls. read more

I love this place when it is not rush hour. Appetizers: Takoyaki - YOU ARE DIVINEEE. The taste just melts in your mouth. And with the flakes and the sauce, its perfect. Stuffed Squid: yummy chewiness. Entrees: Ramen - was okay. Katsudon - yummy! The first time i ordered i didnt eat it as we ordered too much bht when i brought it home and reheated, i was pratically salivating to finish it all. Their sushi is delicious! And spicy tuna is always my way to go. One star off as we went during rush hour once and the waiter kept forgetting my spicy mayo sauce. He also got one of our sushi orders wrong but they remade the correct one and the wrong one was on the house. read more

If I could give ZERO star to this restaurant I definitely will! It was such a disappointment for this restaurant. I been eating sushi here since they opened because it's in my neighborhood and of course used to be the top notch in the area. So here is the story: I ordered the sushi take out on Dec 31 afternoon and after three hours I consumed the sushi while I prepare to go out I started to puke, follow up with a diarrhea. That's not just the end, it ended up I stay home threw up three times and also diarrhea three times that night that totally ruin my count down plan. The next day morning on Jan 1, I still had to diarrhea twice with a slightly fever. Now that I have to excuse from work for two more days...what a new year! Never ever going back to this restaurant again! read more

Really surprised by this place! Not sure why I haven't tried it but I finally gave it a try tonight and I was really satisfied with my meal!

Simply amazing! Great fresh sushi. I happen to have been doing a search on google looking for a Hibachi restaurant and came across this place and so glad I did.

Longevousjoy - 4 rolls for $11.95 oysters rolls, fried shrimp, spicy scallops roll and lobster roll. - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The food took a turn for the worse as did the staff attitude. The mood of the staff or to be more specific the cashier is as if she hates everyone. One time I went, I wanted to make sure something and I asked twice. She eye roll me and curse me in Chinese to her coworkers as I was leaving. Second time I ask for more chopsticks, she was like "16 dollars for 2 more chopsticks" in a annoyed tone. Then she said I can only have 1 chopstick. The owner came and she twisted the story to make me look like a shitty person. I take my bag and left, I will never go here again. read more

Great appetizers! Delicious ramen! Fresh sushi and sashimi! This is like the brooklyn version of Kenka. Favorite: Takoyaki Sweet Potato Fries Fried Oyster Mala Spicy Numbing Fish Ramen Salmon Fest Hokkaido Bowl Kick Ass Fries Miss: I don't really like their other ramen and udon. I've had times where their ramen soup base is warm/cold. I like ramen and its soup to be hot because it cools down quickly. Uni does not taste fresh Pizza - dislike Fried Ice Cream (ehh) Note: They have a special/new menu. You need to ask for it if they don't give it to you. 5 star because they're unique and I truly do love some of the items on their menu! read more

Store owner on vacation. This place will be open again on 1/12/22. Food always 5 stars.

Maybe it was because my party and I came extremely close to closing time and they half-assed our orders or maybe the quality of food we were served was a standard here. I don't know, but my last experience here was one I'd rather forget. My friends and I were in the neighborhood and were looking for a place open at around 8:30 P.M. to grab a quick dinner, so we stumbled upon this place. I was craving some spicy ramen, so I settled for their Bloody Hell seafood ramen. The soup itself wasn't as "bloody hell" as their name implied and was just a mere exaggeration. If anything, this dish was more salty than spicy. The ramen itself was al-dente and wasn't bad, but I was expecting more from the soup. My dish tasted like the staff rushed to make it since they were in a hurry to close for the night. My friends and I also ordered some sushi pieces as an appetizer and they were just your standard AYCE-style tasting sushi pieces. Nothing special. Although inexpensive, I wouldn't really recommend this place, nor would I be back in the near future. read more

Very disappointing experience today.. I come here occasionally--maybe once every few months and never understood why the ratings on yelp were so poor. To start off, I made sure to ask if the restaurant accepted credit cards because I literally had no cash on me nor did I have any money on my debit card (broke college student.) They welcomingly said yes they do! At the end of the meal, I pulled out my credit card and surprise surprise, the waiter said that they don't take my card?? Had to call a friend to immediately quickpay me, but honestly why didn't they mention this at the start instead of notifying me at the very end.. Way to trick the customer into dining here. I usually just stuck with what I knew best when I came to dine in, their best roll combo B, their lunch specials, and their takoyaki. I came in expecting to order the lunch special because I saw online how great of a deal it was from monday-friday 11am-3pm. But when I asked to order it, they explained to me that I couldn't order it today (Monday). They said they can't serve it on holidays, but no where does it indicate that on the menu. A lot of unwritten regulations/rules, including the whole credit card and this holiday rule.The sad part about my dining experience is that a small appetizer was the best part of my meal. Their rolls have declined in quality significantly-- the eel was dry and didn't taste very fresh. My boyfriend ordered the fantastic four for $22; we expected a flavorful and amazing dish for that price. However, it was so small. It looks like a bowl that you would order a side of rice on.. for $22!! (Look at photos attached) He finished the dish in less than 2 minutes and it didn't taste that good. I ordered the katsu don with egg and the egg made the dish so dry. The whole thing was just so dry and lacking flavor--we couldn't even finish it! I suggest adding Japanese mayo to add flavor for that dish. We spent a lot of money for mediocre food in extremely small portions. We regretted coming here when there is another really good sushi place two blocks away (Fugu sushi). Our stomachs both started hurting by the end of the meal. Doesn't seem fresh & they should be more specific when someone asks them if they take CARD. If my friend hadn't responded, we would've had no way of paying for the unreasonably expensive meal. At least their takoyaki was good.. literally only that. read more

I called in to order delivery. They said it's free delivery if you order $20 worth of food. The curry potato croquettes was sooo good. Hot and soft on the inside, super crispy on the outside. Bento box comes w fried chicken pieces, California roll, rice and a miso soup. I also got Vietnamese shrimp and dry sausage fried rice which was okay. It needed some more seasoning and time on the stove. They do give a big portion so I ended up eating the fried rice for 2 meals. I had to order the shrimp sushi roll to get it delivered, it was really good. All that food was only 22$. Will definitely order again to try other things they have. read more

For what it is in Brooklyn, I think it's quite nice. It's a good place to go with friends and family to hang around.

Otherwise, their squid is yummy and the sushi is pretty good and not pricey. read more

3.5* Got the gyudon The menus I saw online said $10 but they charged me $11 plus tax when ordering takeout. The amount of beef was actually a lot more than expected. I was able to have beef with every bite of rice. It would be better if the beef wasn't as dry and had more flavor, but hey what am I paying for and it's takeout. It was especially sweet probably due to the sauce. There were onions too but it didn't stand out. Small bits of pickled ginger were scattered throughout. It might seem like just for decoration but the brightness of the ginger helped cut through the fat of the beef. The rice wasn't exactly Japanese sushi rice but good enough, better than the blehhh rice I have at home. Most of it had sauce from the beef but the sauceless bites were ok too, a break from all the flavors. Slightlyyyy too soft Soft boiled egg. I didn't expect to have one. Glad to see a soft yolk. The marinate was bad though, tastes like straight up soy sauce. The outside layers were too salty too My friend got the kimchi squid udon which was surprising. I'm not a fan of kimchi but this dish is more like kimchi sauce plus cabbage. Not sure what sauce they used but it came with a hint of tomato sauce, quite refreshing actually. Then of course there's slight spiciness. We can ignore the squid.... The udon itself isn't the worst of stuff out there. There's still slight chewiness. The softness is more of a problem of the udon makers. read more

There were not many people here today. It was only a Tuesday and the place is inconspicuous from outside. So many people walking around may not notice this place. They did have a steady stream of customers coming in while we were there. They have a humongous amount of different sake. Whatever you palette will handle, they have one to satisfy you. The waitets were very nice and helpful and jumped to help you even with a glance in their direction. We had a variety of different things to eat. Had the Tako Yaki (baby octopus donuts) which had these flakes that moved while still hot. It was interesting and delicious. It did taste like a fresh donut just come out from the oven. Also had the potato shrimp. Strings of potato wrapped around shrmp.. very interesting. It did need just a little more flavor tho. Had the Nagoya lolipops also, which is fried chicken lolipops. Had the Tuna and Toro, standard sushi.. The breaded deep fried pork was really good along with the chicken skwers with a hint of curry. This was quite nice also. The best part again is the selection of sake they have. Its quite a selection. Are you starting to get the theme? Most everything is fried or deep fried. If you like fried everything, you will definitely like this place. read more

Great spot to get your Japanese fix if you love sashimi and sushi. I would come here every so often because the price is a bit more expensive than other restaurants in the Brooklyn area but it does carry better grade sushi that is better quality than most spots. I came here with a group of 8 and it was a bit crowded so I would suggest maybe keep it at 8 or 9. The staff was nice and attentive and sometimes might be a little over attentive but I would definitely recommend trying this place once or twice. Price: $ 25 to 50 a person is standard read more

I am obsessed with this place. They aren't no typical bensonhurst sushi. They have great quality sashimi and izakaya type foods that are not only affordable but come out quick. They also have a really chill vibe and have 3.50 beers all day. Please don't ever close down!!! read more

Last month, I came here with my friends and boyfriend for a birthday dinner. My boyfriend and I came here once back in 2012, but that was the ONLY time we came and then we never came back. I was trying real hard to remember why we never returned until recently and then it hit me. The answer was the food. Nothing changed in the last four years - decor, atmosphere, menu, and pricing remained the same. Even the food was mediocre. So this is what we had/shared: Best Seller Roll Combo (eel roll, spicy scallop roll, spicy salmon roll, and California roll). - The sushi was okay, but not the best I've had. I feel like they've all tasted the same. Takoykai - one of my favorite Japanese appetizers and it was on par! It was moist, delicious, and just melts in your mouth. Stuffed Squid - is one of the more popular menu items and it was one of the better tasting dishes we had all night. I liked this appetizer a lot! Since it was freezing outsid,we ended up getting ramen. I'm a huge fan of Tonkotsu so that's what I ordered. The ramen had everything a typical ramen would have - half egg, fish cake, bamboo shoots, scallions, corn, chashu, but the problem here is the noodles were well done and didn't taste or feel like ramen. The broth was extremely white like a cream based soup. Another issue was the ramen was tasteless, couldn't enjoy that pork-like taste very much. One friend got the Satay Grilled Chicken Ramen and my boyfriend and the birthday girl got the Curry Seafood Ramen. They said their ramen wasn't very savory either . There was also minimal curry flavor to it. This experience reminded me why my boyfriend and I have never thought of going to Longevous Joy for food. The quality of the food can use improvement. I would rather travel out to East Village for delicious Japanese soul food isntead and ramen with flavorless broth is heart breaking. I think the chances of coming back would be close to slim. I think the only time I would come back to this restaurant is if a friend just wanted to come to try it out and of course at that point I would put away my opinions of this restaurant. Hopefully the food quality improves. read more

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO EAT. If you are considering ordering their large party trays for a party or event, PLEASE THINK AGAIN! Don't be captivated by their low prices and pretty pictures because the hassle just is NOT worth it. I already expected them to be busy since it was NYE so I placed my order around 5:45 pm for pickup later that evening giving them more than enough time. I show up around 8pm ready to pick up a platter of sushi for my potluck dinner. The lady tells me it's cancelled. I was confused... I'm like excuse me? What? She goes "yea we had a lot of cancellations so we cancelled everyone's orders." I. WAS. LIVID. I was in shock and disbelief that's how a small business is treating their customers? They cancelled my order with no explanation or phone call even though they had my number down. She even gave me an order number and everything. The girl definitely knew she f'd up because when I confronted her, I saw her looking down and flipping through some receipts or papers. She remembered me placing the order but obviously that doesn't matter to this establishment. I really did like this place and used to frequent ALOT but sadly, I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more
