    Initially, from the outside, I thought Pink Nori was a nail salon. Hidden in between several restaurants on 30th Ave their decor did not make them stand out as a restaurant. However, once you step inside, Pink Nori has an ambiance all of its own, You feel like your in a very relaxed lounge with very attentive employees. I ordered the Roast Duck Ramen and Ramune Strawberry cocktail. At $20,00+ my meal was amazing. Everything about Pink Nori hits the mark. I shall be back in the not too distant future. They are one of, if not the best Japanese restaurants on 30th Ave, possibly Astoria. What a great find!

    Cute and romantic ambiance here. The service was relaxed and I didn't feel in a rush. Food was delicious. I'm not gluten free. But, they had a large separate menu for gluten free options.

    I didn't have crazy high expectations about this place but I've got to say - it's pretty good. Came here with my family for a quick dinner together and the employees were great at accommodating our seating request - we were 6 at the table. Pink lights all over, plenty of seating even if it's a fairly small place. Cute decor. Service was pretty fast and it looked pretty clean. We had so many sushi pieces that it was kind of difficult to identify, but it's okay. Loved the pieces with the spicy tuna. We also had a duck salad, probably my favorite dish of the night. The downside of the dinner was my drink, the Lychees martini, which was NOT shaken at all and overall only tasted of alcohol with an aftertaste of lychees. I couldn't really drink it. Now, this is not a fancy place, it's pretty casual. But it's good if you are craving sushi or something a bit oriental.

    Solid choice for sushi in Astoria! Being that's it's NYC, everything's is relative so they're getting 4/5 stars. They could have given more calamari and the service was mid. They could have come by a little more often with water. The Ambiance is clean and comfortable and chic. Good for a date night or to hang with friends. Fresh fish!! And the sushi pizza is a winner. Would return!

    *Delivery Review* FOOD: This is our go-to place to order sushi from in Astoria. We've tried other places and Pink Nori consistently has the best sushi from freshness to the fact that the rolls never look like they are too loose or falling apart on you. Our favorite special rolls are the Sexy Pink Lady which has salmon and mango in it (we love mango) and the Thinly Cucumber roll which is my go to if I don't want rice. It's wrapped in a thin slice of cucumber and has a variety of raw fish which makes it amazing. Go to regular rolls: Salmon Mango regular roll Spicy salmon roll Spicy tuna roll Spicy yellowtail Yellowtail avocado roll Something else we tried is the fried rice which was surprisingly amazing. It reminded my husband of hibachi style rice work more flavor than regular fried rice. One meal I didn't love is the mango chicken. I wanted to try something different. It kind of tasted like they cooked some chicken, threw cubed mango on it and added some steamed broccoli on the sides. I doubt it was actually cooked in a pan together. The sauce was very thin. They have a pretty extensive menu so its not too surprising that not every dish is amazing. DELIVERY EXPERIENCE: We've only had good experience with them. They deliver rather quickly! We're hoping to go in person some time so I'll update when we do!

    Pretty good place to get some poke & tempura entree. The ambiance is laid back and servers are very attentive. I would like to come back to try other things on their menu. Fresh tempura veggies is the way to my heart. Plus the serving sizes are huge!

    I got takeout from Pink Nori, so I can't speak much on the in-house service or decor. But! The speciality rolls really blew me away. I got the "Sexy Pink Lady Roll", which while not authentic, was so tasty and absolutely massive portion size. Would recommend!

    I was in the mood for sushi so my I came here with my boyfriend for an early dinner. It was not busy so we got seated right away. I ordered their lychee cranberry non alcoholic drink and it was so good, it was sweet but not overly sweet. For our starter, we ordered the scallion pancake that came with a gingery sauce which was a bit tangy but absolutely delicious. We also ordered their ocean roll and mango roll. I loved their ocean roll because it had scallion. All the flavors in the roll just mixed so well. The mango roll was very refreshing and filling. The service was great and everyone was very attentive. Will be my new go to spot for sushi.

    The service was great- staff was friendly and attentive. The cuts of fish tasted fresh in the maki rolls I had. I love that they have an entire additional menu that is gluten free. I've added pictures the gf menu below!

    Ambiance (5/5): Super cute and trendy on the inside. The vibes are very welcoming, chill, no noise…read more The establishment is quite small and can be very tight on seating. The wait was around 30 minutes for 4 on at 1:30p on a Sunday. By the time our meal ended, there were several empty tables. Service (4/5): Timing of the dishes was not in sync with the table (not that that bad, just noticeable). Ordering wasn't as smooth as we hoped but all in all corrected (order was wrong but was corrected when we were asked to re-confirm the order). By the time we sat, the food was out within 20 min and then the pancakes came out another 20 min after the first dish. Food (5/5): The food was outstanding! Seriously like everything from the pancakes, ramen, to the lemonade. Lunch special of Tan Tan ramen (special May 2026) and Pork Cha-Shu Bowl. Tan Tan was spectacular and was def better than the bowl. The broth had so much flavor with richness, spice, spicy level, half seasoned egg. The noodles were also a lovely bouncy chew. The pork was pretty standard with about 5 thin slices spread over a soy sauce based sauce. Omurice was very silky. The egg was nice and runny. I liked that the sauce wasn't too ketchup-flavor forward. I enjoyed the rice which had bits of meat which gave it more flavor too. Crème Anglaise Souffle Pancake - my only wish was that there was more of it because it was so good. The cream that was on top was not too heavy and the zest flavors blended surprisingly well. It comes with a little side of fresh fruit. The cake was not overly egg-y in flavor either. Lavender Lemonade - Not too tart and not too sweet. I liked the forward lavender taste.

Just something to keep in mind when you walk in. My friends and I did family style and ordered the Omurice, Vert Frais Matcha Soufflé Pancake, Matcha French Toast, and Large Fries. The French fries came out first and were basically McDonald's fries with a little Parmesan sprinkled on it. Everything looked pretty and instagrammable but at most tasted just okay. I wasn't in love with the Omurice sauce which tasted more tomato-based than I prefer. The soufflé was nice and fluffy but the pancake itself didn't really have flavor. The matcha French toast took the cake for me. It was soft and crunchy on the crust. My group ordered drink as well and the total ended up being $120+ with tip. Way more expensive than I was expecting, but I was happy to treat my friends to a nice birthday brunch. Come for the photos and aesthetic, but don't expect much when it comes to the food.

Salmon crispy rice was a hit but the star of the show was the sushi and sashimi deluxe and the blue Toro roll. Amazingly fresh.

Dashi Okume sells ... you guessed it ... dashi. They sell several kinds, and you can taste all of them there in the shop before deciding which to take home with you (I tried them all and went home with one bag of vegetable dashi and one bag of sweet shellfish dashi). They also make custom-made dashi. You can choose from around 30 ingredients - dried fish, seaweed, mushrooms, and vegetables. They grind it up and put into individual bags for you. Such a fun idea, but I thought I should try some of their pre-made dashi options before creating mine own. They also sell miso, rice, noodles, rice seasoning, seaweed, tea, and other items. I picked up some Japanese mustard, seaweed, and rice seasoning to take home with my dashi. Beyond being a great shop, they also have a cafe area where they offer a teishoku set meal - you pick your fish, which comes with tea, rice, miso soup, pickles, and sides. They also offer an omakase popup. The shop is beautiful, and the service was very friendly and helpful. I'll certainly return for more shopping but next time I plan to make a meal of it and try their teishoku set.

I always order their "obento box", which comes with a choice of an entrée from their daily-rotating list (so cute how they write them on a few chalkboards that they move around the restaurant for whoever's ordering). Everything I've ordered has always been delicious, from the various fish dishes (salmon / arctic char are particular favourites), the stir-fried pork, and their sushi rolls. The salad is invariably so fresh, and the small side of obanzai is always a treat :) Price point is unparalleled -- I think the bento was priced at $12 when I first came a few years ago, and it's still $12 now. Such a lovely cute restaurant -- service is fast and friendly, and the interior, while a bit small, is definitely very cosy and has that unique rustic Japanese aesthetic to it (including a lot of their tableware). This is definitely a must-try in the area, and I will no doubt be back very soon!

    Cuisine: 6 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 6 Overall: 6 I have to preface that, if I had reviewed Hibino in the past, they likely would have received 4 stars. Unfortunately, my latest experience was such a letdown that I have to average that into this review. My usual order here over 10+ years has always been their Kaisen Don, which had some of the better quality sushi rice available in Queens. If you don't think sushi rice is important, then skip my review. If you do, then know that my preference is slight warm rice that does not clump together, with a nice touch of vinegar. Hibino seems to get this part right regularly, but not this past Sunday. It was cold, clumpy, and super light on seasoning. Furthermore, as soon as the bowl arrived, I was a bit skeptical since it's not the usual square box filled with premium goodies. Instead, it was a smaller round bowl with relatively common pieces of sashimi. In the past, there were toro, ikura, uni and scallop, but none were present on Sunday. The only premium pieces I received was the spotted prawn. The rest were salmon, yellowtail, bluefin tuna, sea bass, and arctic char. More importantly, some of the sashimi pieces were somewhat mushy and slightly fishy, not the best quality. On the other hand, we also ordered their Chirashi, which had seared toro, yellowfin tuna, salmon belly, yellowtail belly, shrimp, and flying fish roe. Between the proteins and rice is a layer of shredder egg. Sadly, rice was still cold and lacked flavor, but the egg did help a bit. Though I prefer the thin slices of sashimi in the Kaisen Don over the chunky pieces of fish in the Chirashi, I did prefer the latter on that day. Bottom line, I will give them another chance, but the downgrade on the quality of rice and premium seafood in the Kaisen Don was a major disappointment. Praying my next visit restores my faith in the restaurant.

However, after the first time trying it, my partner and I were blown away by the quality of the meal. The portions we got were way more than any other Japanese set meal restaurant in NYC, and for under $40 you can't really get any better than Honzen. Each set includes miso soup, fresh sashimi of the day, uni topped tofu custard, pickled vegetables, eggplant, pickles, and your main dish. Our favorite has to be the katsu, it's probably the best value item on the menu. The miso cod was also excellent, super buttery and tasty while not being too expensive. Both options are available under $40. I would also recommend just ordering the standard Japanese rice, since it's already very filling as it is and we've never needed any of the rice with additions. Service can be a bit slow if you come later in the evening, which is understandable as it gets busier with all the set meals coming out. Ambiance is super cozy, with a sit down area that has cushions and a low table. Can't really go wrong with any spot in the restaurant. We come back here all the time when we're craving something homey and filling, would recommend Honzen!
