The sushi was great. Happy hour was awesome, very reasonable. Drinks were great. Matteo the bartender is super friendly, super sweet. We had a great time celebrating one of their regulars birthday, so the place was packed with regulars. And the singer was fantastic. read more

A constant visit for me, first time leaving a review: as always fantastic food. The happy hour menu is amazing very affordable with such an array of options. It's the perfect place for a date night or just casual happy hour, it's the perfect cross of getting dressed up or coming in casual it gives you both options. The service is always incredible. They're very attentive and on point. The only reason it's not 5 stars is the sushi isn't often tightly rolled and they nickel and dime for the extra sauces and soda refills. read more

Came in for a take out order today. Waited for 50 minutes for 2 lunch specials. Front desk unorganized, nobody should wait 50 minutes was tempted to leave but was hungry. Missing utensils and napkins. Unreal. Please change the front desk staff. Help your business. read more

Love the pink lady rolls, sweet potato rolls and California rolls! Comfy booths, great service

Came here for happy hour/date night because the menu looked pretty good, and we decided to switch it up from our usual sushi spot (Miko). We kicked things off with drinks--I got a margarita, but it was so bitter I couldn't even power through it. My boyfriend got the Tropical Cyclone, which was eh but still better than my drink. We then ordered the pan-fried shrimp gyozas. Except they weren't really pan-fried--just kind of soggy and room temp. We couldn't even pick them up with our chopsticks without them falling apart. The crispy rice tuna.. Just okay. You only get three pieces, and for the price, it's not worth it. The spicy tuna wontons were another miss--bland and didn't care for them. The fried calamari. Mostly breading. Hard pass. The shrimp tempura roll saved the night--it was actually good! The sweet potato roll. Just Eh, not a fan. The service wasn't terrible but not the best. I really wanted to like this place, but between the drinks and the so-so food, I just don't have anything exciting to say. read more

Solid takeout sushi, out of the few sushi places that will deliver to us this one is our favorite. We tend to go with straight sushi or sashimi as opposed to the specialty rolls but the few we've had are pretty decent read more

One of the best sushi ever!! Very fresh and service is great!! Comes very quickly to the table!!

Ordered the Bento Box Online ordering indicates Bento Box A includes fried shumai (doesn't specify what meat), seaweed salad, one choice of three rolls (california, spicy tuna, spicy salmon), tempura or teriyaki staples, and miso soup or salad. Not much detail is given about this. Wife wanted noodles (no option to switch or upgrade :( ) and ginger dressing for the salad. I assumed the ginger came with the salad and I was right. The salad came in a little plastic container similar to what traditionally comes in wonton soup. The seaweed salad was a decent portion. Shumai tasted like shrimp, but I am still unsure. A pile of white rice and chicken teriyaki with two pieces of broccoli and some baby carrots. Not sure if baby carrots are traditional in this type of order, but they were literally like the grocery store baby carrots. The sauce was a little watery and had some type of cabbage under the chicken. It tasted pretty good mixed with the white rice. Portion was good too. All in all, I would order again because $25 is not bad for this quantity of food. The chicken was standard chicken breast, didn't seem to be seasoned or anything, but the sauce makes up for that. The sauce with the shumai is excellent, will be ordering that on the side in the future. * * * UPDATE * * *: Ordered a kani salad that was too much food with the bento box, so I put it in the fridge around 10pm and ate it the next day at 12pm. It was inedible. Perhaps it doesn't refrigerate well. Also had some of the bento box sushi. The sushi rice became hard, which was expected. Everything else about it was fine. 2/5 on the leftovers read more

As much as I wanted to gate keep this place, I can't anymore lol. It's just way too good. The food was absolutely amazing. Top notch sushi and apps. The service was great, they were very attentive. The ambiance is also great as they have some live music, we went on a weekend so I'm not sure if they have it all the time. They have a great happy hour menu as well. We ordered a bunch of different things. From duck bao buns, Kobe sliders, spicy kani said, rock shrimp, shumai to sushi. Everything was absolutely incredible. This might be my new fav sushi spot on Long Island. The food was super fresh and everything was spot on. I will definitely return to this spot. read more

Very disappointed. Emailed company that they left part of my take out order out. Just a condiment you charged me $1.75 plus tax for. I asked for a refund, but just for that small amount. The rest of the meal was great and my email went unanswered. Not cool. Will not come back. read more

What a wonderful experience. The sushi was so fresh and delightful. Came here a bit late at night, but still felt welcomed and at home. Fun and bright energy on a Friday night. Ordered tuna carpaccio, beef negimaki and revived a complimentary bowl of edamame for checking in on Yelp! Woohoo! Entree was a variety of rolls and all super fresh and tasteful. Can't wait to come back. read more

I frequented this restaurant several years ago when they had sushi and drink specials for Happy Hour. I stopped by here recently and was told that Happy Hour is no more. Patrons dine only at the tables. The sushi and drinks fell off, meaning that they are not as tasty as they were when I dined here every Friday evening ten years ago. My go-to order is the Beauty Alaska Roll, which is made with salmon, crunch, spicy aioli and salmon on top. They made it with just a touch of aioli, which is what I like because too much aioli will give me an upset stomach. The Spicy Kani salad had too much aioli. The lychee martini was made using orange vodka and lychees. I prefer lychee vodka, like the one they used a decade ago. The menu is still creative. The customer service is still the exemplary. I just won't come back here until Happy Hour returns and I can try other drinks and sushi on the menu. read more

This place is so cute inside! The booths look comfy but we sat in the middle of the dining area facing the sushi bar. The sushi here is fresh and became new favorite place for sushi! We had steak teriyaki and had a bunch of sushi and sashimi rolls. Had lobster, caviar, Dix Hills, pepper tuna, salmon, Boston and sea bass rolls with shrimp tempura app share and my favorite rolls are Dix hills, Pepper tuna rolls and salmon sashimi! Our waitress, Selena was patient and really friendly. We got a blue fin tuna roll on the house which was plated really nice and tasted even better! Will be back! read more

Called in an order for a small rice 2 rolls and a soup to go. The lady told me 30 minute wait as it is Friday. I told the lady I was waiting in the parking lot and could they expedite it. She said she would try and call me when ready. 30 minutes later still waiting. Another 5 go by and I go in. One of the ladies had me waiting another 5 and asked me to pay. So I said how much longer. The actual woman who I spoke with comes in and says it will be another 15 to 20 minutes. She said they ran out of rice. I told her she should have called me because she knew I was waiting in the car. She said oh well. Mind you we've been coming here for years. Foods a hit or miss. Either great or so so. read more

Visited Nisen recently for a sushi dinner and was very satisfied. Food - 4.5 / 5 I had the chirashi, which is my go-to order for sushi. I was impressed - a good mix of fish, that was fresh and tasty. One of the fish was a bit tough, but the remainder had good texture and plenty of them. Service - 4 / 5 felt that service could have been a bit quicker given the restaurant was not too busy when we visited. Took some time to take our order Ambience - 5 / 5, Nisen has a very nice decor, quite sleek and lots of booth options which are ideal for larger parties. Value - 3.5 / 5 Nisen is expensive compared to other sushi places in the area. While some of that goes to the nice decor, I still think there's too much of a "premium" built in for a $35 chirashi. Overall 4 / 5 good quality sushi if you don't mind paying for it. read more

Nisen Sushi is fantastic, a very affordable and nice place for dinner and drinks. We have visited the restaurant several times and have always enjoyed the food and ambiance. The owner Tom came to our table to thank us for visiting his restaurant and made us feel at home. If you like sushi this is a place that you need to go too. Steve E read more

I'm excited to try Nisen since I have been craving good sushi on LI since last year. Free edamame or shishito peppers with Yelp check in!! Sushi bar area was closed today, Monday 8/19, but sushi is available. Sophia was my waitress and she is very patient and answered all of my questions. :). I ordered the lunch sashimi special with tuna, yellowtail and salmon. It comes with soup and salad Miso soup is okay. Nothing to write home about. Sashimi was fresh but the whitefish was lackluster. Salmon was the best of the bunch I might return read more

Had the best dinner at Nisen! The servers Sandy and Eileen were attentive and so fun! The quality of the food is always consistent. Some food highlights from our meal included the big eye tuna sashimi app, rock shrimp, yellowtail belly sushi, Otoro sashimi, black pepper tuna sashimi salad, and soft shell crab bao buns. Nisen is a can't miss sushi experience on LI! read more

Always fresh good service very consistent . Beat sushi in the area live music was a bit of a distraction very loud in a small space

I have lived in East Northport my entire life, how have I never been here?!? High end, top quality, chic vibe sushi place. (They have other Japanese food as well). Went during Covid protocols in place, the place is spotless and immaculate. Husband got 4 different types of sushi/sashimi and loved them all. His favorite was one with marinated lobster. I got a sweet potato roll which was delish, chicken tempura which was the freshest I've ever eaten, and duck pork bun. Def a little more upscale than most, I wore a cute outfit and my husband wore a polo and jeans. Definitely a little nicer than jeans and a t shirt vibe, especially on a Friday/ Saturday night. read more

Went last March and the sushi was amazing. Was excited to go back last night to celebrate my birthday with friends. We had ordered drinks and were looking at the menu and chatting when my friend noticed something on the inside of her glass just above the Coke. Upon closer inspection it was indeed a roach, we didn't notice it when the drinks were dropped off which means it probably crawled up. We decided we were going to leave and called the waiter over and told him, he was extremely apologetic and told us he would his manager to come over. Before he walked away, he did say that sometimes they come from the ice and that's how it made it into the drink probably. That. Does. Not. Make. Me. Feel. Better. A few minutes later he came back over and told us that the drinks were on the house and that the manager was too busy to come over but he's very sorry. So we left. To the manager - if there is a ROACH in your customers food, you un-busy whatever situation you are in and address that immediately. Absolutely disgusting customer service. You should not have your waiter who does not get paid enough probably deal with that situation. And looking at your reviews, this isn't the first occurrence, and management doesn't care in those reviews as well. read more

Excellent sushi! Very cool atmosphere and service is spot on ! We absolutely love this hidden gem.

One of my favorite places in Commack! It never disappoints whether in person or delivery. The filet mignon, the sushi, the bok choy, rice all of it is delicious - chef's kiss! read more

Nisen used to be great. they are awful now. their prices skyrocketed and their service has gone downhill. total disaster on New Years Eve. waiting two hours for a simple takeout order. and that was at 5 pm. totally understand that sushi chefs can get a little behind but the restaurant was not full and people were getting furious. They refused to refund our money not caring about customers' time or patience. They simply said "sorry" and offered no discount...no compensation for our wasted time. there will be NO next time. sad because Nisen was our go-to restaurant but they clearly don't care about us, our time, or our loyalty. absolutely unacceptable. my $130 order will be our last. read more

2nd time coming here and was impressed both times. The menu has plenty of choices. The place has a contemporary vibe which I dig. I wanted sashimi and was a little disappointed each sashimi choice didn't have a description on the menu. I got the sashimi deluxe which came with 15 pieces of sashimi. I also ordered a toro roll. The fish was super fresh. The white tuna and yellowtail were my favorite! I thought this place was pricier than other comparable sushi spots. I would come back if I were in the area again. read more

I've previously reviewed Nisen sushi for in-person dining. All of that is still applicable; however, I recently ordered delivery from Nisen for a decent sized group of friends. Figuring out which roll was which was like a game of Clue. Nothing was labeled, we had to sleuth out what was in each individual roll. No one wants to have to disect sushi or do a thorough analysis of each item simply to eat dinner. Label the items! read more

Wow,wow wow!! If you follow my posts you already know I'm a sushi freak. Let me first say this place is a little fancy. Not too much though. They have a full sushi bar and cocktail bar. The prices are a little high but very worth it. The sashimi is so fresh. They even serve uni (sea urchin) which you don't find much. Over all one of my best reviews. When in the area you have too hit this place up. read more

Worst restaurant experience, by far, that I have ever had. First off, the floor of the restaurant is so sticky, that I actually walked out of my shoe, getting to the table. What a yucky feeling, to keep sticking to the floor. My party of six was seated, and menus were not handed to us, but scattered on the table...waited forever to have one of the service staff come over to take our orders, or answer any questions. An obvious attitude was evident in the three people who were servers in the almost empty restaurant. Food finally arrived, and the waitress did not stop over at the table once to see how things were going. Several members of the group mentioned that their food was barely warm. There is no way that I would every return to Nisen Sushi...if you want sushi, try going somewhere else, where the floor doesn't take your shoe off, the wait staff acts like they are happy to be your server, and the food is cooked properly. Tried giving zero stars, but was not able to do that! read more

Fish is super fresh and rice is sticky and rolled to perfection! My favorite is the Pink Lady roll! Even the dessert was delicious! Great service and they really let you relax and take your time!! You have the table for the night! Saki was good too! read more

I am here right now actually and can't wait to write this review. I can't even say worst service because there was none! This place has one other table sat right and now; we have been checked on not one time, we had to get up to ask one of the waitress whom were all standing talking to each other paying no attention to us to get us water and to get the check. they got our order wrong 2 times and the food was not good. The lobster tacos were like biting into civeche that sat on a taco shell for an hour, the gyoza was luke warm, crispy rice not crispy, chicken came out with rice when it said mash potatoes so unfortunately cannot review those. We could never find a waitress so we weren't able to say anything to have it fixed. Extreme attitude when we did ask for something such as water. Used to be so loyal but I don't know what happened. Won't be back and next time will go to taco tuesday at cabo fresh next door read more

This is my new go-to place on LI. Very fresh sushi ! I actually prefer to drive the distance rather than go to Kotabuki a mile from my house,for their great varied selection . I had the mango shrimp roll and spider roll which was delicious and well priced . The sushi platter had fresh ikura and the ginger is also not dried out like in other restaurants . The salad dressing was tasty and service was nice. read more

1. Staff is not friendly...very rude. 2. There were fruit flies flying around everywhere. Landing in our food and drinks...disgusting ! 3. Sushi is just okay. Not really worth the price in my opinion. 4. They still have plexiglass partitions up around every table. The restaurant was empty at 5:45 today...we were sat in an empty dining room. Another group walked in and they sat them right next to us...so awkward. Won't be returning. read more
