    My go to spot for sushi. Relaxing and service is good. Owner is nice. Food is quick and fast. Updated menu. I knocked off one star because the prices for sushi has increased compared to others near by.

    Stephanie Z.

    It would have been a 3 star review, but the food could have been better, so still a 2 star review for me. The sushi is undeniably more priced in the acceptable range in the Bensonhurst area, in Brooklyn. However, because the prices are on average lower than most in the area, it does not mean the quality of the food should be less. This is a go-to place for the family and we generally enjoy all the rolles, even the nigiri pieces and the sashimi pieces. When we do order sushi, we always do a party tray, and try to get as much variety as possible, as we all love sushi, sashimi, nigiri, etc. As such, as ordered California, eel and avocado, Chicken tempura, Boston roll, spicy tuna roll, Alaskan roll, Ginza roll, sashimi (salmon & tuna), and eel nigiri. California & Eel roll: Standard, the eel was a bit dehydrated tasting, as if the fish was out for long period of time and then rolled together with sushi rice. The portion was a bit more smaller than the last time. Chicken tempura roll was really soft, and the crunch was def. on the soggy side, as the tempura was no longer crunchy. The Ginza roll was just not great. The cooked salmon tasted a bit old and the crunch had an odd taste, so it did not add a nice texture to the roll. Overall, the food could have been better, way better.

    My favorite sushi place for years! Always fresh, always tasty! Must try their special Sex on The Beach roll

    Don't take delivery-cheat on money! I order 4 rolls for 2,75 (11$)+1 sashimi salmon (1$) TOTAL 12$ When man come on car, say "14$" and demanded tips! I give him 15$ and he wanted more! I'm so angry, it's my not first order, but I know one-it's my last order at this place.. he deceives me not for the first time and not for the first time does not give a check!

    A small decent sushi place that people go to because it's simply nearby. It is average and while has nothing terrible about it, it isn't anything special or unique. This is a decent place for locals who want sushi but do not want to travel to get it.

    I came here two weeks ago and one of the reasons we went here is because this place is right next to the Kings Highway N train station. It is a bit dimmed in the restaurant. It seems that most of their business is through orders and take-out. Staff can speak English and Chinese. Got drinks and we placed out orders. Got the following 4: AK-47 roll- deep fried roll with white fish, salmon, crabmeat, avocado and cream cheese no rice Butterfly roll- spicy salmon, shrimp tempera, kani, eel, avocado, assorted cavier LG chocolate roll - salmon, eel, crunchy, top with pepper tuna, avocado crunchy special sauce and cavier Kings highway roll- spicy yellowtail, crunchy tuna, salmon, crunchy avocado, cavier on top Very artistic in presentation. The staff doesn't hover and sushi rolls was good. My favorite was the AK-47 roll because it's cooked and soft to chew.

    This place is my go-to sushi spot in my neighborhood. They don't put their business on delivery websites like seamless but I'm glad to pick it up since all sales go to the business directly. Pretty good sushi, the quality is standard for the area and service is really fast. The staff are really friendly as well.

    Food: Excellent sushi! This might be one of my new favorite sushi restaurants in NYC. We ordered a…read morevariety of appetizers, noodle dishes, and sushi and sashimi. The fish was very fresh and good quality. We tried the fried purple yams, fried chicken, stir fried udon, yakisoba, and a variety of sushi platters. I would highly recommend the Tokyo Don which was a variety of fish and seafood on a bed of rice. The Salmon Lover's was also excellent, and slices of fish were nice and thick. Service: Service was wonderful! Our waiter was attentive and came back to check on us throughout the meal. There's a button to press when you need service, and our waiter was always quick to come after we pressed it. Ambiance: The restaurant is a good size with tables sectioned off into small "rooms". There are two private rooms downstairs that fit about 6-7 people each. The rooms are adjoining and good for large groups. Seating downstairs is the Japanese-style tables where you put your legs into a pit under the table. Decor and ambiance is very nice, and seating is comfortable. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant!

    We recently visited for a birthday and it was a great experience…read more From the moment we sat down, the staff was incredibly thoughtful--they actually brought out coloring books and markers for my two children right away. It was an absolute lifesaver that kept the girls happily entertained. And the food was absolutely worth savoring. We kicked things off with a round of handrolls--salmon avocado, spicy salmon, and yellowtail--which were perfectly crisp and packed with fresh fish. I went all in on the Salmon Lovers set, and it was an absolute dream. It came with a massive, beautiful spread of salmon sushi, seven thick pieces of melt-in-your-mouth sashimi, a salmon avocado roll, a bright kani salad, and a really savory piece of grilled salmon. We also shared the Ysukiji sushi platter, which featured a gorgeous, high-quality assortment of cuts, while the Smoked Chicken bento box was a huge hit, offering fantastic cooked flavors and generous portions. The room we were in mimicked a traditional Japanese room where everyone had to sit on the floor and put their legs under the table. It was fun for the younger people but it was difficult for the elders to sit down and get back up. Between the incredibly fresh sushi and the warm hospitality that kept the whole family smiling the entire time, this spot easily earned five stars. We can't wait to come back!

The amount of noodles is decent and the toppings are pretty good the egg actually come with both half's rather than one like some places so that's good, my only gripe is that the cha siu isn't heated through after being served which tells me that they didn't torch it for long enough before serving. That usually also makes it less tender as the middle is still a little coagulated from being chilled prior. I would also assume that chicken broth is less calorie dense than pork so I also felt less guilty drinking it all. The staff is friendly and quick enough with the service and they also have rotation test menu items which is nice but there's a few items on their regular menu they are always out of like their oyster pancake

The scallops ($10) was not fried enough and nearly no flavor. The seafood pancake ($16) was most disappointing with no seafood toppings and all carrots/greens and soggy! Overall quite disappointing experience. It does not help that for such a modern looking decent sized establishment, it is forcibly CASH ONLY payment even with an ATM in the restaurant which is very odd

Tables are abit small especially when meals are always serve in large platters. The table barely fit all the dishes so they had to remove the condiment tray to make space but it's not ideal with the squirming kids. I suggest changing some of the plate sizing to better fit the tables. The condiment tray have 4 sauces available: ketchup, sweet & sour sauce or is it sweet chili sauce?, hot sauce and low sodium soy sauce. They also do not provide the claypot sweetened soy sauce. The only soy sauce available (is low sodium) but that makes the dish saltier. Great service and good food. The baked rice dish- do not recommend. My friend said HK Tea is better. The sizzling platters are soo goood. Of the claypot rice, the classic pork ribs is the best. Chicken one was too dry for hubby's taste. The HK milk tea taste malty which one of us enjoy and another did not. Their regular rice plate portion size is abit small. The noodles are abit bland if you order that instead of rice to go with the sizzling plate. Veggies are just steamed and healthy but wish they were seasoned. The condiment tray should also include salt and pepper.

    3.5 stars to be exact. Came in during afternoon lunch, place was fairly emptied and was seated…read morequickly. The menu had all the typical HK Cafe selection and even offered the HK brunch special combos. Placed an order of grilled mackerel ~which tasted surprisingly good (lemon wedges needed). The stir-fry vermicelli noodles lacked flavor, though the popcorn Chicken tasted good and made up for it. The peanut butter toast tasted okay. Overall, food tasted good on the day of my visit.

I generally don't get sushi around where I live because I just haven't found a great place, so I thought, maybe I found one. Boy was I wrong. My order came, tri-color sushi and a yellowtail jalapeño appetizer. The tri-color sushi looked absolutely delicious, tasted amazing. The yellowtail appetizer I didn't touch because for some reason they put roe on top of it which they don't say on the menu, but it is what it is. Now here comes the problem...... ......FOOD POISONING. The next morning I was sick as a dog. Thinking back my big mistake was not reading the reviews before ordering. I went back and read them and saw how many people said that fish wasn't fresh. Had I seen that, I would have never ordered. But, when I opened my order, it looked good, there was no fishy smell and it tasted great so I wasn't worried. Oh well, I learned my lesson. Never again.

    I hadn't been to this place since 2015 so it's literally been one decade and I'm so grateful to say…read morethat the food has not declined and the service was great. I came here on a Friday night with my son and it was such a pleasure. I ordered the salmon sushi pizza and the spicy salmon roll with a small hot sake. For him I ordered a cooked sushi roll and the spring rolls and everything tasted great. The service was great and our waitress was friendly and attentive. Initially, we were the only ones in the restaurant, but later people started to trickle in. We sat near the small fish tank with the glow fish and everything was really relaxing for a Friday night. I love that the bill only came out to $40 or so and can't wait until I get the opportunity to return.

    Friday dinner Came here after Wasabi across the street had a…read more40 min wait. There was no wait here, or should I say there were no customers. A couple was sitting in there when we arrived and left soon after, meaning we were the only ones there. They had a handful of takeout orders so not completely no business. This place doesn't necessarily have anything "bad" but there's nothing much "good" about it. It's very 86th street. I would rather eat at Wasabi. We ordered (right to left, top to bottom in my pic): dragon, Hawaii, white Russian, Brooklyn, spider Favorite was the white Russian maybe because the tuna on top was torched. The menu didn't note that. Least favorite was either the Brooklyn or Hawaii. General comment on all of them is that they skimp on ingredients. My photo doesn't show their cross section but basically the ingredients are not well balanced on the insides. The seafood is always the least represented ingredient. If you look at the Brooklyn roll (shrimp, kani, tempura crunch), the insides are 80% tempura crunch, 10% shrimp, and 10% kani. The spider roll should be a whole soft shell crab fried and rolled in. The batter was twice the thickness of the crab. I miss the way Wasabi has thick crab meat and it comes out piping hot. Another general comment that I find is an issue across all Brooklyn sushi places is that the rice isn't tart at all. It didn't come out hot but at least it wasn't dry and hard. I like how their menu has pictures of all rolls, but most didn't appeal to us for some reason. Wasabi's presentation is much better. I also like how Wasabi's menu would tell you which items are cooked. That's helpful for those who don't want to eat raw fish. Service was good. We were in and out of this place in 30 min. I joked we can go back to Wasabi for sushi part two. The lady was diligent about filling our teacups even though we needed refills two minutes apart from each other. Good that tea was hot. She didn't give us a weird look or anything when we didn't order more food. She also reminded us about the 5% discount if pay by cash. Also all the employees speak canto

Dipping their toes in so many different arenas might actually be their detriment because they're going for everything while not excelling in most. I would rather they cut down on some dishes and make sure all are great instead. I absolutely love their Thai fried chicken, which is so affordable (8 pieces for $12), and tastes so crispy on the outside but so moist and flavorful on the inside. It comes with a tangy fish sauce, but you can add different green curry and/or red curry for 50 cents each. I like it best with the fish sauce. However, that's the Thai fried chicken is the only dish I absolutely love from this place. Everything else is very mediocre, which is unfortunate. 6 rolls bento - $15; comes with california roll, spicy tuna roll, lobster salad roll, salmon avocado roll, eel cucumber roll, shrimp tempura, kani salad, seaweed salad, and fried chicken. It's a lot of food for $15, and the sushi actually tastes decent. The kani salad, seaweed salad, and fried chicken are just tiny portions, but the fried chicken are like nuggets and taste really bad. 4/5 Mushroom noodles - $10; It's so rare to find such affordable e-fu noodles but sadly, it tastes nothing like what e-fu noodles should taste like. I wouldn't even know that they're supposed to be e-fu noodles if I just blindly tasted. I would not get this again here. 3/5 Pad see ew beef - $13; Again, like the mushroom noodles, it didn't taste like pad see ew. It's missing that sweetness and charred factor that's usually present in pad see ew. 3/5 Pad Kra Pao (??) - I can't remember if it's this dish that I got, but it was some type of Thai rice dish with a meat sauce. It was so terrible, I only ate 10% of it and didn't take it to go. 1/5 Pad thai - I didn't try it but my friend got it and the color looked really off. Aside from the food, there are other improvements to be made here. It seems like a family-run restaurant, with only two workers facing the customers. It's really hard to get their attention when the restaurant is busy. The space is very tight and looks like it could be more well-maintained. They also need more menus. Hard to share just one with the whole table.
