Really great find, especially for a birthday celebration. The people here are friendly and attentive. Ambience was lovely. The space is large and wasn't crowded on a Wednesday night that I attended. Plenty of seating and bathrooms are very clean! Food was excellent as well. We ordered a lot of sushi. I got the monster lobster which I think is well worth the price and a roll you must try! I had a taste of the general tso chicken and it was also great. Sushi and the rest of the food was very fresh. Also the food came out in a decent amount of time. Overall highly recommend! Prices are average. They also have lunch specials! read more

Mito - Monster Lobster Roll - Japanese Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

Came here for a quick bite to eat and it was good. The prices were more than fair and the place was very intimate and clean. We were seated quickly on a Friday night ! I ordered the crispy rice that's topped with spicy tuna and it was very tasty. They didn't have oysters which was disappointing but the duck spring roll made up for it although i wish the duck was crispier the taste is amazing. The tempura appetizer was also very good fried to perfection . I enjoyed my evening definitely a place i would visit again. And i wasn't drinking this night but the bar was very nice. They had a large selection of various alcohol. read more

Mito - Duck Roll Appetizer - Japanese Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

In an attempt to try a new spot, my friend and I came here for a late dinner. It was past 10 PM so there wasn't a wait. They did seem bit discombobulated about seating us though. One person was bringing us to our table, and another was saying there's no table and we waited by the sushi bar for a few minutes. They have a pretty extensive menu. We ordered the spicy tuna avocado ball, some sushi rolls. I ordered one of the combo makis and my friend ordered the spicy yellowtail cucumber roll, shrimp mango and something else I don't remember. The spicy tuna avocado ball was a bit disappointing. Yes, it was melt in ur mouth good. But lacks in flavor. U barely tasted any spice. They need to step up the sauce on top. The rolls were all good and fresh. My fave was my friend's shrimp mango. We took a look at the dessert menu and it seemed odd. Didn't look like anything was made in-house. So we skipped it. Pretty good place. Would come for the sushi alone. Service needs work. But the sushi is enough to get me to return. read more

Came here with my family to celebrate Mother's Day and we left happy and full. First off when you walk in, the ambiance and overall vibe of the place is great. Very modern Asian style decor, sleek and clean. The restaurant is spacious and has a full service bar. The food itself was good too. Lots of sushi options from your traditional rolls to their large selection of specialty rolls. Plenty of other options are there too like several noodle, rice, beef, chicken and pork dishes as well as vegetarian offerings. A stand out for me was the duck served with the bao buns. Usually, restaurants who don't specialize in duck butcher the dish and it doesn't taste all that great. However the duck here was spectacular, tremendous crunch from the skin, moist fatty meat and a nice sauce to go with it. Duck done right. They have a full service bar and a pretty lengthy drink menu. Unfortunately I was driving this particular time so I couldn't enjoy any liquid libations so next time. Some of the cocktails on there looked delicious. Plenty of tvs are also around the bar area. Pricing is a bit high but keep in mind this is Japanese and Forest Hills, so you have to know what you are getting into. I'd say it was well worth it tho. I'm glad we discovered this place, I will make it a regular spot. read more

Stable food quality and clean environment. Reasonably priced as well. Dine in and take out both great.

The owner should pay their staff a livable wage. The place is comfortable and elegant. However upon return to the restaurant I encountered a disturbing experience. Management followed my spouse and I outside to question us about the TIP that we left. I was upset that someone from the establishment would embarrass us like that. I explained that we left half the tip on the credit card and the other half as cash on the table. He half apologized and went back inside. Instead of judging us, next time check the tables or PAY YOUR WORKERS A LIVABLE WAGE. I didn't like that the waitress touched my naked chopsticks with her bare hands when clearing appetizer plates from the table. Luckily I was able to use some other utensils. Other than that she was attentive and kind. we ofcourse left a tip regardless of the service. Staff: The waitress staff here is kind and formal. It is unfortunate that the management is so strict that the staff can come off as "robotic" at at times. But sending people outside to chase you down for 18-25% tips when this person clearly mis-judged takes the cake! Overall the food is great but I no longer recommend this place. The vibes here is just off. Please act like the upscale provider you strive to be and pay your workers a livable wage. read more

This was quite a find so close to home. The hubster and I were impressed... service was on point, very attentive. I had the grapefruit martini which was to die for. It was so good I make it at home now . Buck choy was good, Hubbie got the Mongolian beef and I got the mango chicken. The beef was great, the mango chicken I would pass on, nothing great.. read more

This restaurant opened around end of 2016. I came here around 4pm during their happy hour special. Staff was very attentive and nice. The decor is very high end. Very welcoming interior. Modern and yet cozy. This restaurant makes you believe your in a higher end Manhattan restaurant like in Tribeca or Chelsea or in the Meat Packing District once you go in. Excellent vibe and chill atmosphere like a lounge. Definitely trendy decor! Finally, the food is excellent. I tried their sushi (salmon avocado) and it was fresh and delicious! I will come back again! Highly recommended for parties, family and friends! read more

Ordered from here too many times when I was new to the area before I realized the food is not so great and not worth the pricing, which is constantly fluctuating. Service is good enough and the ambiance is pretty standard for a sushi venue. There are dozens of better sushi spots in the area worth checking out before settling for Mito's subpar sushi experience. read more

Solid sushi for the locale. I've been here 2 times and it hasn't disappointed. Don't go expecting, morimoto, gari, sushi nakazawa type of sushi here. It's a good spot to get your sushi fix if you're in the area. Here's the breakdown: The restaurant: in a predominantly Jewish area with not many Japanese eats, it's definitely a welcome. The place is brand new with very nice decor. You walk in and you'll automatically get greeted by a host. The bar has large screen TV's where you can grab a drink and watch a game. Food: get the specialty rolls. I've had the 108st multiple times which I recommend. Everything else to me seems standard. Like I said. It's to get your fix! & it ain't bad! Service: excellent! They have so many workers! They fill up your cup of water/tea without you asking! I have nothing bad to say about them with service. I'd recommend to give them a try if you're around the area but not worth it you have to trek. Let's hope the place makes more inventive things to add to the menu to spice it up. read more

Mito - One of them is the 108 street....they were both good. - Japanese Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

The service here is remarkable. Ambiance is great for a date night. Fish was fresh, and COLD (plus). Gyoza was crispy and probably the best I have had in a long time. Also, the portions seemed larger and this was nice for an appetizer. Soup was very hot (I was warned about this). It's usually room temperature in a lot of Japanese restaurants. I loved that it was hot. I have to admit, I do not like the smell coming from the bar. If I didn't see the positive Yelp reviews beforehand, I probably would have walked out because of this. Fortunately, you do not smell the odor in the restaurant area. Presentation was average. I am really focused on the fresh food. Nonetheless, with the ambiance of the restaurant, you do expect a little art. I was comfortable and will be returning in the future. read more

5 stars for the service! I came here to celebrate Mother's Day and they were able to accommodate my party of 6 even though I only called an hour ahead to reserve a table. I was very impressed because I had brought some cupcakes from Silk Cakes (highly recommend!) to celebrate. Our waitress was so thoughtful and plated the cupcakes so prettily. She even added a flower and wrote "Happy Mother's Day" on one of the cakes! The food was not very impressive but not terrible either. Sashimi was slightly overpriced for the portion they gave us, but I didn't mind once they brought out our cupcakes. I've never seen a restaurant be so thoughtful for a dessert that's not theirs! Finally, they even gave out chopsticks as a special Mother's Day gift at the end. What a nice surprise to end our meal! Maybe I'll come back to see what they do for Father's Day. read more

Great takeout teriyaki but very pricey. Haven't eaten inside but it looks upscale and clean.

Can't give 5 yet but thinking about it. Too new. First visit. Attentive service from hostess to bus boy and in between. Nice sake selection, cocktails as well. We had nigori sake, priced at $10 per bottle. They have $25 also. Server came to pour when glasses were empty. Water brought. Friend and I shared edamame. Came hot with salt. Then shared pork gyoza. Crispy and hot and tasty. Dipping sauce a bit sweet. Then Japanese spring rolls. Gingery goodness. Had salmon sashimi. Both wild king and farmed. Wild was excellent. Buttery smooth. Farmed had good flavor but had fat running through it which made it hard to chew. 108th street roll: too sweet. Too mushy. Spumoni Bomba dessert: yummy and just what u expect. Plus hot green tea. Would definitely come back. Great new local spot. Very cool! Nice vibe. Music but not loud. Cool space. Very un-108th Street. And that's good!! read more

This restaurant is such a hidden treasure in Forest Hills!!!!!! The food is so good & fresh and the cocktails are also very tasty!!!! We arrived as a party of 7 for my brother's B'day & I must say that it was the best decision. We all ate & drank as our appetizers arrived promptly...we order shumai, a couple rolls, & calamari. ALL were so yummy!!!!! We ordered our entrees at the same time that we ordered our appetizers and usually I am VERY hesitant to do this because the entree almost always comes out at the same time as the apps. But this was not the case as the entree did come out after the apps with a nice buffer in between. All in all it was a very nice dinner and my entire party went home pleasantly pleased!!! ;-) read more

Super duper awesome!! Went for my brother's birthday for a party of 11. Firstly, the service was 5 star all the way. Our server was absolutely fantastic!! She knew exactly how to work with a large group and was calm and accommodating to all our many requests. (And she was hilarious but that's besides the point) :) Back to the food. Firstly BEST EDAMAME IVE EVER HAD. NO JOKE. Hands down. 2 bowls were scarfed down by the table in 5 minutes. Some who didn't even care for edamame in general... were swallowing it. (Pic added) The lobster sushi was divine! (Pic attached) So so fresh. The lobster guacamole comes with mini flaky pita type pieces to dip it with and it was tooo good. I wanted to order another 2 orders but we had so much other food coming. The citrus salmon is absolutely awesome. A great fresh taste without being overwhelming. We ordered about 15 different rolls including the white tuna sushi roll, the jalapeno fish role, and a bunch of others i can't remember but every single one was so tasty. The tiramisu was good and the pistachio berry dessert and well as the souffle, however they ran out of the custard and bombas we wanted. Hopefully they will have it next time. A must have is definitely the lobster guac and edamame! Trust me on that. Everything is awesome but those 2 apps I will always remember. Such a great place. And looks so nice inside. Well built with city flare. You don't feel you are in queens. read more

Mito - Japanese Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

One visit, on a Thursday evening, in a half-empty restaurant. What we had, and our thoughts: - Naruto and Rainbow Rolls: The raw fish in both rolls were borderline fresh, and probably should not have been served as sashimi in these rolls. We didn't get sick, but the rolls left our stomachs feeling uneasy. - Kani Salad: Bland and a bit watery at the base. - Pad Thai with Chicken: Unevenly flavored. My initial serving of noodles was an interesting blend of sweet and sour, but much of the rest of the dish was too salty. Overall: A disappointing experience for food. Good service and a pretty atmosphere -- but you can't eat those. A return visit would be difficult to consider. read more

Very nice place, cozy with private booths, but large enough for a group. I had the sushi for two which was very yummy. Clean light taste. No smell, which is a good thing when your having sashimi!

Think I found my new favorite sushi spot in Queens! With all due respect to my homies at Bamboo Ya, this place is gorgeous and so damn delicious. The dining set pieces are official, (or as my wife said) this place really has some good taste. Shrimp shumai was beautiful, light, and steamed to meaty perfection. The soy sauce they serve with these bad boys was on another level. The Hot Mama roll was exquisite. Slightly spicy, slightly crunchy, all sorts of delicious. The sauce drizzled all over? Crack. The salmon sashimi was a little off putting sitting atop a wierd shaved carrot, but once I dug in, it was smooth, plump, nearly melt in your mouth goodness. I NEVER order or eat sashimi so the fact that I enjoyed it is enough for me to sing its praises. Now, this was meant to be a "light sushi night, but once them aromas hit and kur taste buds started singing, we had to go back in for more. Got an order of the Seafood Gyoza and it was just as expected; dank AF. Crispy on the seared sides, soft and decadent everywhere else. How sway?! read more

I have come to this place twice and have enjoyed both dinners. Some friends and I went a couple weeks ago during the week and it was fairly empty...the food was great and the service was friendly. We ordered edamame, vegetable gyoza and a couple different rolls all were good (not the best but certainly good enough to come back). The second time we came on a Friday night and it was packed. Drinks were strong and food was brought in a timely manner, correct and not rushed (which we were worried about since it was crowded). It was quite noisy which is why I cannot give it 5 stars. It was really difficult to carry conversations across the table. We would definitely go back as a fall back since we know what to expect. read more

Ordered take-out from Mito on Sunday afternoon. I would like an opportunity to sit down for a meal at the restaurant, especially after enjoying the solid take-out offering. Quality: I was initially skeptical about ordering take-out sushi, as fresh from the chef is really the way to go, but at this moment in time, when that is not an option, I was willing to take the risk. And I am glad I did. We ordered a bunch of items and overall it was very solid. The New Style Tuna Tartar Appetizer was probably the dish that held up the best, likely as the last to be prepared. Tasty and fresh tuna, avocado, and seaweed salad added together perfectly. The Salmon Avocado roll was basic, but good. The Spicy Kani Roll truly had some heat, which I was a fan of. And the Sushi And Sashimi For 2 Platter was a great deal. With 18 pieces of sashimi, 10 pieces of sushi, a Spicy Tuna Roll, and a Tempura Shrimp V.S Lobster Roll, it was huge. Sticking with mostly basics, the fish was all fresh, though the tuna was definitely the best. And even though the Tempura Shrimp V.S Lobster Roll lost some of its crispiness with travel, it was still among the best bites of the meal. Quantity: We went overboard with our order, which probably would have been enough to feed four people. Value: $14 for New Style Tuna Tartar Appetizer. $8 for Seaweed Salad. $7 for Salmon Avocado Roll. $8 for Spicy Kani Roll. $65 for Sushi And Sashimi For 2 Platter. Ambiance: Mito is located in the Forest Hills area of Queens. And while I ordered food for take-out, they are definitely more of a dine-in restaurant. Just from peeking in, I saw a long and elaborate bar and sushi bar, as well as a ton of seating. The design was extremely stylish and modern, making use of different lighting, and wall separations to create a chic feel. It is a place that feels like it would be buzzing on most weekends, and would be great for date night. Crowd: When I arrived my food was sitting on a small table near the entrance, and the staff were finishing up packaging another meal. With sushi not as available during the crisis, they are likely a popular option for people in the area. Service: My food was ready right on time. They also had it set up so there was no need to interact with others when picking up. Parking: A decent amount of street parking outside. read more

More than just good looks! I was in the area and wanted to grab a bite. I was so happy Mito appeared in my search. The interior is gorgeous and the boat suspended from the ceiling is a nice touch. We ordered duck rolls, spicy salmon, spicy yellowtail, edamame, crispy red snapper and plum wine- everything was promptly served and exceptional! Thank you to Lin our bright, friendly, kind server. I hope one day to be back in this area. This was a lunch meal I won't soon forget. read more

You can tell they spent a lot of money on putting this restaurant together because the decor and ambiance is nice. It's a cute spot if you're the type to pay for the restaurant atmosphere. I think it's nice that their happy hour is Mon-Sat 3-7pm, because how many places actually have happy hour deals on Saturday? Their service is great! But I don't understand why the lady had to help me pour my soy sauce????? Like I poured it already and then she just poured more like whyyyyyyyyyyyyy? The sushi pizza was raw fish and avocado on top of a scallion pancake? It's not bad, but nothing special about it. The scallion pancake doesn't go too well because I've had it before with other crusts. Sashimi and Sushi for 2 -18 pcs of sashimi, 10 pcs of sushi, 1 spicy tuna roll & shrimp V.S. lobster roll. The plating for the sashimi was beautiful, but I just think it makes more sense to put 2 of 9 diff sashimis, instead of 3 of 6 diff sashimi. 1. gets rid of the awkwardness of taking 2 pieces. 2. gives you more variety 3. we didn't like some fish, so i just gave it to him to eat it I wish their rice was better for the tuna roll because it did not look or taste good. Wouldn't not go back, but wouldn't be my first option either. read more

I chose this place for my birthday and it was the perfect decision i made. The service, ambience and the sushiiiiiiiiiiis were amazing. ordered "lady gaga", "joker" and other yummy sushi rolls but had to say it was tough choice to make "joker" sushii roll as the winner of them all. If like something with spice go for it. My server "Anna" was very sweet, attentive & made sure we were happy at Mito. The place itself has beautiful dining and bar which is eye pleasing.

Horrible! Ordered sushi yesterday and it tasted horrible. Called the restaurant and was told that their sushi is fresh and there is no way it's not good. Stubborn owners to say the least. It was clearly old and going bad. Well... a few hours after we ate a few pieces of sushi, since it was inedible, I got horribly sick vomiting and stomach pains all night. Do not eat here unless you want to get food poisoning! read more
