    We decided to try this newer Nippon Cha location in Westbury because we really enjoy the Bell Boulevard location and had high expectations. We ordered the R1 Ramen and the Chicken Teriyaki Bowl. Unfortunately, both dishes were disappointing. The pork in the ramen was dry, and the broth lacked flavor. Ramen is usually hard to mess up, but this one just didn't have the rich taste we were expecting. The Chicken Teriyaki Bowl wasn't much better. The chicken was also dry and could have used more seasoning and flavor. We skipped the drinks because we prefer water and try to avoid sugary beverages, but we noticed that a lot of customers were ordering them. Hopefully the drinks are better than the food because the food definitely needs some improvement. It's nice and clean got a nice vibe. This pretty much a self service restaurant. The lady who took our order was friendly. It's a bit pricey for this type of food.

    I'm a bit biased here because I love everything matcha. We came here for lunch one day. We ordered the Kaisen Don, Oyakodon, and Yakoyaki. The sashimi quality was decent, especially for a place that centered itself around the matcha and other items vs. being a sushi restaurant. The oyakodon was a little disappointing because the eggs were overcooked -- not very traditional Japanese where the eggs should be softer and the dish should have a bit more sashimi incorporated. Takoyaki was also good, and seemed to be made fresh (as opposed to some boba places that serve frozen takoyaki-- gasp!). My Matcha latte was solid, no complaints. Our only complaint is that the rice used for both of these dishes was hard and didn't seem like quality sushi rice (or whoever made it did not use the right ratio or store it properly). Overall, I thought, not bad for what feels like a Chinese - Japanese business. Despite some of those grievances, I'd probably come back because I love the concept and menu overall.

    We tried several drinks from here and loved them all. I had the matcha yuzu lemonade and it was very refreshing, tart and fresh. Perfect on a hot day. The coconut water matcha was also delicious, light and refreshing. We shared the matcha tiramisu which was a favorite. It tasted very fresh and moist. Definitely would return to try other drinks and the food.

    Nippon Cha has finally opened in Westbury! It's in the same plaza as Costco so it has plenty of parking around. It's currently in soft opening mode with only a few dishes on the menu compared to their Bayside location but there's still a good variety from matcha drinks to appetizers, ramen, sashimi bowls and cooked meats rice bowls. There's even desserts! We ordered a good variety to try and they were all solid. I enjoyed the sashimi bowls the most. The fish were fresh and the wasabi tastes real too. The salmon Ikura don was a small size but good if you just want a taste. All of their hot foods are also have great flavors. They're known for their matcha and although we didn't get any matcha drinks this time, we did try their matcha cheesecake and matcha soft serve. Both were intensely deep matcha that I really enjoyed so I'd love to try their matcha drinks in the future. The prices are a little high but the food and quality are good. It's pretty much a self serve restaurant as well so you can order from a kiosk and seat yourself anywhere you'd like (there's lots of seats inside). They'll call your order when it's ready and you also put the dishes away yourself. It's very convenient and staff is also friendly so they'll help if needed.

    Clean space, love the new location and the fast casual dining format. Great idea for this area. I got a large Kiro Mitsu (brown sugar matcha). The drink was actually quite large (almost the size of a dunkin large iced drink). Matcha quality was great. The lady at the register asked if I wanted less sugar. Being that I typically don't like overly sugared drinks, I asked for less sugar and soy milk. The drink was barely even sweetened so next time I think I will get regular sugar. I also got a Takoyaki to snack on and it came out hot and delicious. The only thing I would recommend is for them to add shades to the window. It was sunset and the sun was blinding so I had to change my seat. The sun actually hit a lot of the tables and the employees had sun in their faces working behind the counter.

    Clean, cute, courteous establishment with delicious matcha and salmon salad! Highly impressed by the perfection of the salmon, ty and yum. I also love the efficient service with the kiosk.

    Today is Nippon Cha's Grand opening. They have a Tea Master performing a traditional ceremony at the westbury location today. Hubby ordered their sushi bowl and it was delicious. Definitely high sushi quality and the fish were so fatty. We ordered a a beef rice bowl and a ramen dish for my kids and they finished everything from it. We will definitely be back.

    This is a nice spot for a snack or drink. It's small but a nice setup. The menu isn't as extensive for meals but has appetizers, tea and coffee options. It's self serve and no frills but good to know it's here when you need a pick me up.

    I've always seen Nippon Cha in Bayside but never actually went until I passed by the Westbury location one night they close at 10pm, which is perfect I finally decided to stop in, and I'm so glad I did! I always ask what's the best drinks and she recommended brown sugar matcha and strawberry matcha even a friend recommended the strawberry matcha so that's what I got I love a good matcha and this one definitely hit. The inside is so beautiful very modern, clean, and aesthetic. It's honestly such a nice spot to just chill.I also noticed they have food on the menu, which I didn't get to try this time, but I'm definitely coming back for that!such a cute spot when the employees are so kind you for sure want to be back

    I absolutely love the Bayside and Williamsburg Nippon Cha and was glad to see the new location. Drinks and desserts are sensational, and the sashimi bowl I got was also very good! Very fresh. Prices were to be expected but not outrageous.

    Ask the Community - Nippon Cha

    Do they have cocktails?

    Based on their online menu they do - but I think it depends on the branch. Not sure if the one in westbury had cocktails just yet but then again I wasn't looking for it specifically.

Owned by another fantastic Japanese couple where the husband used to deliver the best picks of fresh fish and seafood to award winning and Michelin starred restaurants all across NYC. The space was upgraded a bit and thankfully they still retained the chef who handles the back kitchen and still deliciously creates and beautifully plates all their traditional Japanese hot dishes (please bring back the chawanmushi though!). Menu is a bit more scaled down from what it was but still all delicious and price point for it all is perfect. This spot is worthy enough to come to every day or to LIRR in from the city to eat at. Sad to not see master Kikumatsu at the helm of the sushi bar and Kyoko chan to greet you as you walk in but the new owners are as warm and as great too! Must go repeatedly!

Made a reservation for 8pm and were seated immediately upon arrival. Warmly greeted and seated, we ordered 2 of the chef's choice omakase boxes and 2 sushi sashimi combos. All the fish was fresh, flavorful and higher than average quality. We met the owner, Mr. Kay and shared conversation about Japan. The staff was warm and personable. We enjoyed our dinner thoroughly and will be back for the miso black cod and hamachi kama next time. Dinner for 4, no drinks, about $200 all in, more than fair, about 35% less than the same experience in Manhattan. Looking forward to coming back, just to see Mr. K., oh and the sushi is great too.

Solid service....attentive and balanced. Thankfully, we beat the rush because the place was full by the time we got ready to leave.
