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

I decided to try Nami Sushi because I wanted to see what their sushi tacos were about, so I ordered…read morethe salmon sushi taco. It was good, and my daughter really enjoyed it! For me, it was decent, but nothing I'd go crazy over. I will say, though, the tacos are very small, so keep that in mind. The real standout for me was the salmon fried rice. That was really good, and honestly, that's the main reason I would go back to Nami Sushi. I also tried the California rolls, which were good but nothing particularly different or out of the ordinary. The kani salad, unfortunately, wasn't my favorite. I usually expect yum-yum sauce to already be mixed into kani salad, but it wasn't, so I ended up adding some sauce I had at home, which definitely made it better for me. The service was good. The young lady who helped me was very nice and pleasant. The restaurant itself was very clean. It's a small space with a long, narrow kind of layout, but it still works for what it is. I'd come back for the salmon fried rice, and I'd probably try a few other things on the menu.

Nice quiet lunch on a Sunday afternoon…read more The space is quiet and clean. We sushi was fresh including the toro, uni, and scallop. They have a great quality of fish selection. A decent lunch special. And the waitress was very attentive and food came out quickly.

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.

I don't review often anymore. But this place was a standout. I've been eating sushi from Benny…read moresince he was at Matsuya. They moved away, and in my opinion, lost their greatest asset. I ordered completely off the menu. Just told him what we wanted. A Tuna hand roll, a California roll, and a platter with uni, ikura, ama ebi, maguro, and salmon. Everything was expertly prepared and extremely fresh. You can tell if the uni is fresh, and it was not only fresh but also generous. Honestly, the quality of the fish was akin to the best sushi I have had in Japan. Definitely going back. Highly recommend.

Sitting at sushi bar, we asked Chef Benny to make whatever he pleased and that we'd simply stop when we were full. We haven't got out as friends in a while, so we all agreed we'd splurge for the night and worry about the bill later. What happened next was extraordinary. Chef Benny served up banger after banger of his favorites. From uni and spicy tuna hand rolls to sashimi and nigiri... we were in sushi heaven. He also kept the banter flowing all night, sharing stories of his own pals and telling us all about his favorite restaurants across Long Island and Queens. What he told us next we couldn't believe.. he said he's in this 60's! He has such a youthful spirit, jolly demeanor, a ton of energy, and franky looks to be in his mid 40's.. I'd never have guessed! We happened to sit next to regulars of his. They were a lovely couple who have followed Chef Benny from restaurant to restaurant over the last 20+ years. That's a testament to not only how great of a chef he is, but also how great of a guy too!
