    Various Rolls
    Mike S.

    Mickey's Place fans had a bit of a struggle over the years keeping track of all the iterations of this classic Queens sushi spot. Their original home in Forest Hills closed eventually led to a stint in Bayside on Bell Blvd. and now in their most current version here in Auburndale. Long time fans (including myself) will tell you that it is so worth it. Speaking with Jenny, the head matriarch of this mom and pop shop, she explains that they are cash only because this location does not have any internet/landline services to process transactions. The number they have is a mobile line so you can call or text your orders for pickup in if you are so inclined. All the classic rolls introduced during their Forest Hills days still remain such as the Diana roll, Kanda House social roll, Luba Roll, Murray Roll along with newer rolls and an updated menu that does away with many of their cooked dishes. This is now a stripped down, sushi-centric establishment, which is fine by me. It has always been about the rolls for me here. My order is more or less the same for the 30 years I have been a fan. This feels more like a pop-up version of Mickey's with only weekend dinner hours. This location is about the same size as Bell Blvd, but I like the decor here better. The seating is still tight. Although they've been here for a little over 2 years, Jenny explained they may be closing once again next year as she tells me about her struggles in no longer having her long time staff and difficulty finding good help. I told her I would work for sushi, but she swiftly dismissed the idea stating only trusted individuals get to work with their fish. Good call Jenny.. good call! Better to keep your long time customers coming back for more!

    Disappointing Experience at Mickey's Place We went to Mickey's Place when we were craving sushi for dinner. We'd passed by this restaurant many times before and always found it closed. From the outside, the windows looked dirty, and the signs on the window were faded and barely readable. When we finally noticed a sign on the door behind the gate saying they're open from 4:30 PM to 9:30 PM on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, we decided to give it a try since it's in our neighborhood. Inside, the interior was casual and plain; no tablecloths, and the menu was just an 8x10 sheet of paper inside a plastic protector. We ordered the sashimi and sushi combo ($39.95). The waitress mentioned it would be the chef's choice of sashimi. The presentation was average. It included: 2 pieces of yellowtail, 3 pieces of tuna, 2 pieces of salmon, 2 pieces of white fish, 2 tuna sushi, 1 white fish sushi, and 1 yellowtail sushi. What really disappointed me was that an imitation crab stick, a cooked shrimp, and a piece of egg were counted as sashimi. For the price, I expected better quality and authenticity, though the portion size was just fair. There was also some inconsistency with communication. One waitress mentioned the green tea was $2 per cup, so I only ordered one. Later, another waitress told us it was actually complimentary -- a bit confusing. The waitress recommended the Futomaki, saying it was "the best in town." It was slightly larger than usual, filled with avocado, tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet), cucumber, fish roe, and imitation crab stick but missing the usual kanpyo (gourd strip). She suggested we order half a roll for half the price ($21.95 full price), which was considerate, but still felt pricey for just four pieces. We also ordered a Dragon Roll (only five pieces) and a Salmon Avocado Roll, which oddly wasn't listed on the menu even though that's a standard item at most Japanese restaurants. Our bill came to $101 with tax, handwritten on a guest check pad, with some items scribbled on a scrap piece of paper. For a restaurant charging that much, the lack of professionalism really stood out. Overall, while the staff were polite, I didn't feel I received good value for the price. The food quality, presentation, and overall experience didn't meet expectations. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

    Going out of my way for memorable Japanese cuisine might be a new favorite pastime of mine. Everything was prepared to perfection down to the desserts. We ordered a round of 5 rolls and house salad, Kani salad, shrimp tempura, hamachi collar and spring rolls to share. The hamachi collar was tender and fatty. Expertly cooked and a rare treat to have such an authentic preparation. Some folks in our group somehow had room for more so we doubled down on two more rolls while we decided if we wanted dessert. After some tea, we found out our waitress had made the puff pastry on the menu and had to try it. We ordered the tiramisu and the puff. The tiramisu, which I'm sad I had to share, was superb. The puff pastry, was delicious - the texture of the puff and the custard filling were so great and clearly made with a lot of love. As someone who usually is too full for dessert, I'm so glad I got to try them both.

    Mickey's is finally back after shuttering it's long standing spot on Bell Blvd. a few years ago. While a bit more out of the way than the old digs, it's still worth a trip here if you're in the area. The food is just as good as it used to be although the menu is far smaller than the old place. The classics are still here though - avocado bomb was as good as ever and their sushi and sashimi were fresh and tasty. Decor is updated but still in the vein of the old restaurant. Service was good when we went but I can see them getting a bit overwhelmed if it gets busy. Prices are reasonable. My only gripe is parking can be tough since there's a lot of eateries in the area. Other than that though, it's great to have them back.

    I had a very pleasant experience at Mickey's Place. From the start, I received warm and friendly service over the phone when making my reservation, which continued into the in-person dining experience. The staff are all cheerful and friendly, and I saw them chatting with many of the patrons in a friendly way. Even the sushi chefs will acknowledge and thank patrons as they are about to leave. The food we received was very vibrant and fresh with a beautiful sheen, cut to good portion sizes. I particularly enjoyed the spicy tuna and spicy yellowtail rolls, which had slices of fresh fish (not minced) with a spicy mayo that uses a sesame oil base, which stands out and enhances each bite. The orange that was served after the meal was so beautifully cut and arranged like a work of art! The overall environment was very clean and bright, and the walls displayed various colorful drawings and tapestries that were all on theme. I look forward to returning soon!

    Salmon roll and 2 shrimp tempura rolls

    I remember when Mickey's Place was on Bell Blvd and my son was so excited when we found out that it reopened on Franny Lew. We arrived around 8:30pm and figured that would be a good time because they don't close till 9:30. When we walked in we were asked if we had reservations, which we didn't but was seated right away. The young lady told us that the restaurant was CASH ONLY which was fine with us. The restaurant was packed so we saw it as a good sign that the food was still just as good as it was on Bell Blvd. Mickey's Place isn't a big restaurant at all but it's homey looking with pretty light fixtures that my son was admiring. We sat down and was given ONE menu for 3 of us. We sat and waited for a waitress to take our order. Finally I had to flag someone down just to place our order .. sitting for 10 mins with just water and being hungry isn't a pretty sight. We ordered the tempura appetizer, avocado bomb, spicy tuna roll, salmon roll, 2 shrimp tempura rolls, spicy yellowtail roll and the double dragon roll. This is going to sound crazy but I had my son time the whole dinner experience cuz I wanted to see how fast or slow the service was going to be. In my mind if I didn't flag someone down to take our order, how long would they have waited to take our order? The first thing to come out was the tempura appetizer .. 37 mins AFTER we placed our order. The order was not a big portion which was aggravating. There were 2 pieces of shrimp tempura, one carrot and 2 pieces of broccoli that were stuck together. We agreed it was very tasty but my 15 year old son said, 'if you're hungry and have to wait almost 40 mins for food ... anything is delicious'. The next was the avocado bomb ... 57 minutes after we placed our order. My husband and son said we only got it so quickly was because 3 other orders all went out at the same time so the sushi chefs did all this orders at the same time. Not for nothing by waiting an hour for essentially 2 appetizers is ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, both the tempura appetizer and the avocado bomb were very good but not worth the wait. When I looked at the time and realized our food wouldn't be coming out till next week, I started yelping restaurants in the neighborhood that were open that we could go to. The young waitress kept on looking over at our table but never did she once tell us that our food was coming or apologizing for the wait. All she did was fill our glasses of water up. Right as I was going to ask for the check .. 1 hour and 15 mins AFTER we initially ordered .. the majority of our food came out. Was the fish fresh ... yes it was. Was it good ... yes. Did it look like it was thrown together quickly ... absolutely. The rolls weren't closed completely and kept on coming apart when I dipped them in my soy sauce. The sushi rice was too warm for my liking. To eat a piece of room temperature fish with warm rice is not my cup of tea. Ten minutes after the majority of the dishes came out the last piece of our order came out, the double dragon roll. At that point I just wanted to go somewhere else to eat or just go home and make instant noodles. Frustrated and obviously disappointed with the service, I asked for the check. The funny part of this review is that it came .. 2 mins after I asked for it!!! You maybe asking yourself, 'why did you even stay that long and not just leave?' ... cuz I kept asking my family the same question. My husband reminded me that we have to give places a chance and this experience at Mickey's Place will be a funny story we can share with others.

    Fried shrimp heads - so crunchy.
    Wendy L.

    They're back! Mickey, Jennifer and team have moved from their Bell Blvd. location (rent & landlord drama I hear.) The quality of fish is impeccable - from the uni, the botan ebi (large shrimp; don't forget to ask to get the fried shrimp heads!!!), scallops and whatever else Mickey gets. It's clear that he takes pride and selects only the freshest fish. Rolls are great but not crazy combos like at other places - some are large and may cause sticker shock. The cooked items are also fantastic and if you call ahead, they may be more accommodating with off-menu items like soba noodles with shrimp tempura or yellowtail collar. Desserts are now a big hit with some cream puffs that rival Beard Papa's, banana pudding pie, plus let's not forget the tempura oreos. The new space is bright and pretty with blond woods. Service is super friendly. We've met so many other long time patrons who've followed them from their original Forest Hills location in the 90s. Only downsides are finding street parking and they're only open Fri-Sun 5-9pm.

    avocado roll with spicy tuna
    Adriana H.

    you had me at....avocado roll great local queens sushi place, now on francis lewis. regulars were warmly greeted as they came in.

    Finally, a good sushi place in the neighborhood!!! I am so glad this place opened up. The sushi in Whitestone and Bayside area frankly is not good. Mickey's is excellent could not more pleased! Everything is always super fresh. The avocado tuna bomb is amazing! I was happy with any roll. I pretty much ordered. Highly recommend checking this place out. I wish they were open during the weekdays.

I normally…read moredon't like places with many prices, but since our daughter chose it so we enjoy with her. The prices on the windows are very confusing and more like false advertising for me, the lower prices are for the members which we're not since this is our first time and definitely our last, unless our daughter wants to come here again. So the price is the more expensive one. For me, I prefer straight forward pricing, so this didn't give me good vibes, it's not the money, just the way they advertising and we have to know what we can only have with the price we chose. The restaurant just gives us the specific menu for what we selected to have then we don't have to be denied for what we chose because we selected gold instead of top of the line menu. The place is clean and nice. For $78/per person and only have Australian Wagyu Beef (not really Wagyu) then it's over priced. We did have some premium beef which I liked because of the marble of fat on the beef quite tender and tasty, but only a sampler or whatever they called it. Service with one person is quite inadequate but she's very attentive and pleasant, since she had to run the whole restaurant, sometimes forgets things. The tomato broth was good and everyone liked it. The seafood plate is OK and our sweet shrimps are sweet. Some snow crab legs, jumbo shrimps, fish fillets, nothing to make me go wow. The appetizers tempura is crispy and good. The raw octopus is tasty. The vegetables are fresh and clean. After they denied me the premium beef sampler, I let my daughter to order everything else and I just enjoyed with the family. My daughter seemed to be happy and ate a lot, so I was happy. I've eaten enough shabu, hot pot to know that Australian or American Wagyu are overrated, many of them are tough and chewy, not as tender as normal ribeyes or Brisket that I like. This restaurant Wagyu beef does have marbles of fat in it, so it's tender and not so chewy. So, for the GOLD menu, I don't think it's worth the $78 but for special occasions, it's OK. I just don't like the confusion of many menu, many prices, and not getting my own menu and get denied for something on the menu because I didn't pay enough.

We are very familiar with the area and must have walked passed this neatly tucked away gem without ever noticing it. Our son had mentioned that he and his friends have been going to a sushi place near Asian Jewel, our former dim sum go to place. When we sat down to order, my wife and I were quite impressed by how clean and cozy the restaurant was. Kind of on the small side with a few tables on the ground floor level. The menu offered cooked food as well as fresh sushi. We decided to start with the sushi & sashimi combo. They also offered a sushi or sashimi a la carte menu where you can choose to order by the piece. I believe that if you choose one of their standard menu sushi or sashimi orders and pay with cash, the a la carte price per piece of sushi / sashimi is only $1.35 / piece! Well we were famished and in addition to the sushi & sashimi plate we ordered two rounds of sushi & sashimi a la carte. Their salmon and yellow tail was so fresh and so scrumptious as was the sweet shrimp. The tuna was also very yummy and did not disappoint! When all was said and done we were quite happy with our experience with Yoi Sushi Japanese.

There was a good variety of appetizers, fish and dessert. The appetizer options were so unique and the platting was so pretty. The fish options were also very plentiful and I liked the topping that they put on top of each one, the rich was not as warm and soft as I would usually like it but they paired well with the fish. The portion sizes were also pretty large which I thought was nice especially since we were paying about $165 a person. If you are getting sake, they do let you sample the sake before opening the whole bottle. The presentation of the opened sake was also so fancy. Overall - if you want a more traditional omakase experience, I highly recommend checking this place out.

There were the basic chutoro, salmon, otoro fish but no other fish was unique. There were only 13 courses and it felt that they were reusing ingredients because we had uni and caviar multiple times. One dish was uni, caviar, and white rice which felt like a cop out considering uni was a separate course. I did not need uni 3/13 courses provided as someone who enjoys uni. This place is comparative to those $60-70 omakase but not reflective of $165. I went to Shota Omakase for $195 and the fish quality and selection were more diverse.

It was three oysters, similar to Crown Shy except I wasn't a huge fan of the flavoring here. The nigiri sauce didn't really elevate the flavor of the oysters much as they're already a slightly salty food and a soy sauce sort of just added more salt to it. I think a bit more kick was needed to enhance the flavor profile. The handroll set was pretty good, I liked the spicy tuna the best, then the salmon and then the yellowtail the least. In order, I'd probably give the spicy tuna a 9/10, salmon 8/10 and yellowtail 7/10. However, the tiramisu was fantastic, one of the best tiramisus I have had, creamy, good notes of coffee flavor and wasn't overly sweet. Our server was also very friendly, she showed us how to properly eat the handrolls which was nice. The place also has a nice vibe to it, very relaxing and not too loud or overly grand.
