    Salmon Bento Box
    Andrew L.

    Good no-nonsense local restaurant for Japanese food. Went on a late Saturday afternoon when the restaurant was relatively quiet. It was great that their lunch specials include the weekend. We had the Salmon Bento Box and the Shrimp Bento Box specials - both were very good.

    Lots of items, crab meat croquet, spicy salmon hand roll, ocean roll, Crab Lover 's, Knicks roll.

    I have been coming here for almost 20 years. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. One of my favorite menu items is the crib meat croquet. The staff is always attentive and helpful. The inside is small but well spaced. I am sure I will be coming back for years.

    Sashimi Regular Lunch
    Mr B.

    My first time here was great. The fish is fresh and our server was very friendly and accommodating. My friend ordered the Salmon bento box and It was overflowing food. We had saki and beer and this was all at great affordable lunch prices! I will return for more very soon!

    Fresh food, tiny place, good service. Decedent selection. The gyoza was beef not pork but was good. Shrimp tempura rolls fine too

    Miso Soup, Salad & Edamame

    We'd passed Mr Wasabi many times going to the many restaurants along this stretch of Bell Blvd. It wasn't until we had a bad experience at a sushi place up the street that we decided to try them out. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The name is appropriate because their wasabi seems to burn hotter than others all the way up your nose! Our little family of three were greeted warmly and seated quickly with menus. The variety of maki rolls and nigiri were complemented by many kitchen cooked dishes. Many of the rolls had some colorful names, obviously named by a sports fan after all the NY/NJ area pro teams. We ordered the Knicks and the Mets rolls and lucky they taste better than how their namesake teams are performing :( The server brought a flaming aluminum foil wrapped roll to the next table and I had to ask what it was. They said it was the Playboy roll and I've got to try that next time, just for the Yelp video. Our orders were really mundane after that circus show, but don't get me wrong, everything was well made, presented and very tasty. My son wasn't very hungry and got the Donburi, a hot chicken omelet over rice for when you're feeling breakfasty. My wife ordered the Sashimi Regular and received very fresh cuts of fish. I wasn't feeling that raw, so I got a Bento Box. It had seaweed salad, mixed tempura, California roll, 3 pc nigiri and Chicken Teriyaki over Rice (though you can opt for beef or salmon) and came with salad and miso soup. The very nice lady serving us also brought a bowl of edamame on the house!

    We came in here on timing that was late for lunch but early for dinner. We ended up eating snacks. I had pork bun and my girls had their ramen. I could tell by the business name that their specialty are sushi . Will definitely come back for it. In terms of my pork bun, unexpectedly good. I enjoyed it. It could have been one of their best selling appetizers. The ramen was alright but not the best we have tried. It was empty when we walked in. It did not affect my review of the place. Thinking that their take outs sell more.The staff is nice. Location is on Bell blvd strip area that is closer to northern blvd.

    My husband and I have been coming to this place for years. By far some of the best sushi we've ever had which is why we keep coming back. Everyone working here is so very welcoming and service is exceptional. The sushi is always fresh, tasty, and good quality. A great variety of rolls. The crab croquettes are delicious and we must have them every time. Very cozy, comfortable feel to the restaurant. We love everything we have tried here and will keep coming back.

    Mr. Wasabi is a Japanese sushi restaurant in Bayside, Queens. The sushi rolls were presented nicely in the tray, however, the special rolls are not that special. They are the same size as the regular rolls with fish and roe on top. It's below expectations from your regular specialty rolls.

    Beef bento box
    X P.

    Tried the classics like beef bento box , udon, and some sushi rolls. Food could have tasted better , it didn't taste bad by any means but the sushi tasted kinda stale in my opinion. I wished they put more rice in the bento box too.

    This was my birthday treat in June. Quarantine and eat like a queen

    An Unforgettable Omakase Experience!…read more We celebrated the 4th of July with an incredible omakase dinner at Masaki, and it exceeded every expectation. Every course was beautifully presented, impeccably fresh, and perfectly balanced. From the delicate Red Sea Bream and buttery Scallop to the luxurious Toro with Caviar, Sweet Shrimp with Uni, and the unforgettable Eel with Foie Gras, each bite was a masterpiece. What truly elevated the evening was Michael, our sushi chef. He was warm, engaging, and exceptionally knowledgeable. He took the time to explain every course, the origin of the fish, the flavors, and the best way to enjoy each piece. His passion for his craft was evident, and his attention to detail made the entire experience feel personal and memorable. Dining at the sushi bar gave us a front-row seat to watch the artistry behind every piece. The quality of the ingredients, the precision of the preparation, and the genuine hospitality made this one of the finest omakase experiences we've ever had. Thank you, Michael, and the entire Masaki team, for making our holiday celebration so special. We can't wait to return for another unforgettable evening!

    What a sexy spot! My friend and I did a last minute girl's night for our joint birthday and we had…read moresuch a blast. I honestly wasn't expecting much but the service based solely for the Omakase blew me away. The Omakase bar was in the back of the restaurant hidden away. The space was very open and the ambience was chic. This is a great place for date night, mommy night out, or group hangouts as they have private rooms too. Every piece tasted very fresh and were quite unique. The steam silky egg appetizer with crabmeat and fish roe was simple yet delicious. One of the dishes was an uni toro roll that was placed on top of our hands and was sprayed with edible gold glitter on us. That was a surprise and it was cute. And that uni just melts in your mouth. We had this matcha pudding with I think had an Oreo sprinkle in it was fabulous. They also surprised us with an extra dessert cause it was all 3 of our birthdays. Very enjoyable experience. Our sushi chef was very accommodating and made our birthday dinner memorable. We originally started out with the summer special of $78pp for a 12 course meal and decided to upgrade to the 14 course meal for $98pp. There was an option for a 17 course meal for $138pp but we were very full towards the end. They also had this $30 lunch and $60 dinner 3 course meal set for restaurant week. My friend's mom wasn't a fan of raw stuff so she ordered the Chilean sea bass with risotto and she wasn't a huge fan of it. The fish was a tad overcooked and the overall presentation of the dish looked more of a Chinese fusion dish. The risotto had that cheesy flavor but the presentation with the Bok Choy and the risotto looked more like fried rice and was confusing. I would stick with the omakase, which this place is known for.

    Finally revisited Mizumi on Northern Blvd after many years, hoping to satisfy our sushi cravings…read more Instead, about an hour later, I was satisfying my bathroom's occupancy requirements... Let me backtrack. My wife and I arrived exactly at 12:06 PM on a weekday. The staff greeted us warmly, the place was clean and organized just like I remembered, and yes, they have high chairs for the little ones. Unfortunately, the food was a different story. Usually with AYCE, there's at least one or two dishes that make you think, "Yep, I'm going back for this." Here, nothing really stood out as delicious. They have some interesting creations, including sushi made with pesto rice, and many rolls have a Western-fusion twist. Creative? Definitely. Delicious? Not quite there for me. The hot food was okay, although some of the fried items were aggressively salty. I thought, "Let me cleanse my palate with some warm miso soup." NOPE. That was salty too. The bulgogi and kalbi were also noticeably on the sweeter side. The Korean-style wings had soggy skin. Then came the raw oyster. It did not taste fresh at all. I took half a bite, swallowed some, and immediately knew something was wrong. I had to spit out the rest. The unfreshness hit me faster than a New Yorker rushing for the subway. I spent the next hour praying I wouldn't get KO'd in the bathroom. Unfortunately, prayer was not answered. And this was my first meal of the day, so I'm pretty confident it wasn't anything else I ate beforehand. We tried to end lunch on a sweet note with the strawberry ice cream. Sadly, it tasted very artificial. At this point, I was just looking for something, ANYTHING, to redeem the meal. And the winner of the day was... The GREEN TEA in a tea bag. Seriously. That was the thing I genuinely enjoyed the most. I really wanted to love this revisit, but between the underwhelming food and the oyster experience that sent me on an unexpected bathroom adventure, I'm giving Mizumi 2 stars. Maybe it was just an off day, but I'm not sure my stomach is brave enough for a sequel.
