Cuisine: 7 Service: 7 Decor: 5 Value: 7 Overall: 7 When you ask people, what's the best Japanese restaurant in Forest Hills, many people will mention Sushi Time. In reality, they don't serve high quality sushi omakase or anything fancy. However, they do serve some of the best sushi rolls in the area. Always fresh and many crazy concoctions that will satisfy almost any taste buds. I have been coming here ever since moving into the neighborhood. The servers have always been kind and helpful. The restaurant is very small and really focus mostly on takeout or delivery. On the last visit, I really like the Mini Scallop Roll and Spicy Tuna Crunchy Roll. Munchy Roll was just okay. White Tuna Sashimi was too cold and icy, while the White Tuna Nigiri was somewhat better. However, truth be told, just come for the fun and interesting sushi rolls and forget about the nigiri or sashimi. read more

I think I just found my new favorite casual sushi spot around the Forest Hills neighborhood! As someone with a severe gluten allergy, I was really excited to try out this place because I saw a lot of reviews online praising for the way the staff members handle food allergies. I went in right around opening time (noon) on the weekend - the outside is a bit unassuming and partially covered by awning but the inside was brightly lit and the lady at the register (I wish I asked for her name) was incredibly warm and welcoming. She was super enthusiastic about helping me identify which rolls would be safe for me to have. They also have a grab-and-go section where certain popular rolls and sides have already been prepped, but as long as you're willing to wait, the chefs are more than happy to make a fresh batch of a specific roll, even if there are already packed portions of the same exact roll in the grab-and-go section. I thought this was a really thoughtful approach to appeasing all customers. I ended up going with a Philadelphia roll and a Mango Tango specialty roll, which contained a combination of salmon and tuna, mango, avocado, and cucumbers. The ingredients were very fresh and I think the prices are quite reasonable. Without even asking, I was given gluten-free tamari sauce instead of normal soy sauce. The combination of the restaurant's extensive menu and how kind the staff were made this a really wonderful experience - I was very satisfied with my order and definitely see myself coming back again and again whenever I have a sushi craving. The only downside is that this is really more so a grab-and-go spot in general, as there were only two small tables in the entire store. As a heads up, they also prefer to take cash instead of card. read more

This is not sashimi-grade seafood. We live two blocks from this restaurant and have tried this spot at least three times a year for the last 7+ years. I keep telling myself, "Never again!" but I do it again. The sashmi here is okay if you plan on cooking it at home but apart from that, skip the sashimi and perhaps just get sushi. read more

Hole in the wall sushi spot that serves a great selection of fresh fish and the employees are so friendly. You feel like you're part of the family when you come in here. There's a grab and go section as well as having rolls made to order. It's not a sit down spot, but it's easy to take it back and enjoy it on your couch watching tv. I'm so happy I tried this place read more

Sushi very fresh , love the energy there very family friendly and community oriented a little pricey but it's Forrest hills and worth it so

The octopus shrimp roll was fishy (yes I know it's seafood but it shouldn't taste fishy or smell fishy) if u understand what I'm saying. The sprint crab I didn't really like. It was crab with the sauce on top. The other places I go to it's crab mixed with the spicy sauce. Don't know if I'll be back to try anything else. read more

This is one of my favorite sushi places in Queens and maybe NY, everything is always fresh. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It's so hard to pick which roll when they have so many to choose from. I highly recommend this place. It's small. They are a to go spot. Very clean. read more

The raw fish is very fresh and tasty. The miso soup is rich in flavor. In my opinion, this is the best sushi takeout in our neighborhood.

This was my go-to sushi lunch spot when I worked in the area. A cozy place with pleasant employees and tasty food meant I was there all the time. It was so good, I even introduced my fella to sushi with this food and he became a regular! There are some grab and go basics, Cali roll, kani salad, that type of thing. But of course what you want are the fresh made rolls. I ordered shumai, a Philadelphia roll and a TMI roll. TMI is like a mash of all my favorite things, tempura, crunch, shrimp, eel sauce. Basic, but tasty. Definitely my spot for casual sushi in Forest Hills read more

Have been here a few times and it's now become my go-to after my haircut nearby. I recommend ordering ahead as one time I came on a Friday evening and was told the wait for a take-out dish would be over 1 hour. That being said, my most recent visit was a Thursday evening and the takeout was almost immediate. The spot itself is fairly small so really lends itself more to takeout than dining in. The menu has a TON of options. I usually stick to the combo boxes or the generic rolls because when you venture to the more specialized rolls things get to be a bit expensive. Not necessarily out of the norm expensive and pretty typical of such sushi places. The rolls I've gotten have always had a nice consistency in how well they've been prepared. Most recently, went with the Alaskan roll and the spicy tuna roll, both of which were standard. Fish felt fresh, as did the other ingredients. I do wish there had been a skosh more wasabi given. The service is great. The front counter people are always so nice. This most recent time, I had told her I would be back in a certain time period and she kept my food in the refrigerated portion of the restaurant while waiting for me to return, which I super appreciated. Parking on Austin St is super hit or miss. You can usually find SOMETHING but it may take you a few laps. read more

Lovely establishment. The staff is extremely friendly and you can tell as soon as you walk in. They welcome you with delightful smiles and they know their customers by name. You can tell that they appreciate their regulars. The sushi was very tasty. Be mindful that it will be difficult to dine in with a huge party because the space is small. It's more for small groups/takeout style. Overall great experience, I wish I lived nearby so that I can come here more often. read more

Reliable, reasonably priced, and quick- what's not to like? In this area, I would say that Sushi Time is easily the most reliable sushi spot and it's pretty solid. My favorite roll was easily the smokey salmon roll as it's the "best of both worlds" with smoked salmon and shrimp. All in all, it's hard to mess up here! read more

A neighbourhood sushi spot from my childhood. They recently renovated their space. The sushi is very fresh and people are always going in and out the shop to pick up orders. I like to get their Bling Bling roll because it has the biggest variety of fish, more than a rainbow roll (I'm very indecisive). Kind of sad they don't have uni anymore but it be like that. read more

I've been ordering from Sushi Time for 10 years! This little gem has been such a staple to the neighborhood, we are so grateful it's just a short walk away. Any time I'm craving some sushi, I just come right over. The owner and staff have consistently been friendly through the years, it really is one of those local businesses you feel proud to support! Love this place and will continue coming regularly! read more

I was so excited to finally try these guys out and was surprised when my spicy salmon rolls came with a pungent scallion taste. My friend like their avocado roll- but for my staple basic roll, I was quite disappointed in mine. The staff is super nice of course and I believe everyone when they say their rolls are fresh, I just need to order it again to truly get that experience... sans the scallion overload. read more

A small takeout sushi restaurant with a large menu. Friendly staff, pretty fast service. Fancy shrimp tempura roll contained avocado, celery, eel, and masago. Very tasty, but couldn't really appreciate the eel - just tasted like shrimp tempura with eels sauce. Eel avocado - nothing special, tasted as you would expect - in a good way. Spider crab roll - had carrots and celery, topped with masago and Japanese Mayo. Not the best spider crab I've had, but pretty good. Salmon avocado - fresh ingredients, what more can you ask for. Crab lovers roll - menu said contains real crab, but all I got was fake crab; maybe they prepared the wrong roll; it's okay if you enjoy the fake crab meat. Great take out if you're in the hood. read more

If the lightning-fast service, consistency in quality and freshness, and cute ambience weren't enough to convince me that this was the best place to grab a sushi roll in Queens, the fact that I'm always served with smiles all around from staff that take an immense amount pride in their craft is the cherry on top for me. A neighborhood gem and a place I can always make time for. :) read more

My husband and I adore this place and have been going here since my daughter was a toddler (she is 23 yrs old now). Their Sushi and Maki Rolls are always fresh, and delicious. I compare them with places in Manhattan and I rather eat here. They are creative with new combinations, and still have the old classics ... all are favorable. Great food along with a friendly atmosphere and great service. They are a hidden gem in FH. read more

I have two sushi restaurants closer to me, but I always come here. The sushi is always fresh, high quality great variety. The staff is always very welcoming, pleasant and efficient. They have a very creative and delicious roll menu. Every so often you'll see something new added, or today's special. In addition, you can always place your own request, I usually have my tuna and avocado handroll. I can't say that enough, I highly recommend. You won't be disappointed. read more

We wanted to try this place for some time as it was recommended. Small place with pre-made rolls on the side as you enter but you can also order at the counter, too. Two spicy salmon avocado rolls came out to $14. Yowza. Perhaps I am well used to my sushi lunch special prices but it's really expensive for two rolls. The rice was okay. Sushi was fresh. I've had bigger pieces and equally as fresh sushi at other sushi locations in Forest Hills for less and more flavor in the spice. Glad I tried this place though. read more

Lunch prior to a doctor appointment in my former neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens leaves me a mere 20 minutes for deciding the type of food, location, ordering, consumption, and walking to my destination. I have been attempting to give Sushi Time the o' college try for sometime and now I can understand the high reviews as opposed to their direct competitor, Sushi Yasu. I purchased their prepared packaged meal of sushi and sashimi from their open refrigerator counter for $10.95. I decided to dine-in and was immediately offered a complimentary traditional hot Japanese green tea. Of course, I'll accept it as it is served as loose tea leaves rather than mass produced tea bag. Space is small but there is a sushi bar counter. Food is fresh and staff are attentive and welcoming. Sushi Time offers more options for rolls and medley of sushi and sashimi. Takeout menu is available for grabs. read more

Can't beat the price to quality ratio. The staff is super nice. Not here for the ambiance, it's mostly a take out place. Have not been disappointed once in the food. read more

This was my first time trying Sushi Time and it was delicious. I ordered the Shrimp Tempura rolls which was extremely large in size. I also tried the Double Spicy Roll. It was okay and I don't think I'll order it again. They have so many options, I cant wait to try more! read more

When we want to show off to our friends about how great the food in Forest Hills is, this is where we take them. My all time favorite sushi place with a huge menu that is always growing, the highest fish quality, and the nicest staff you'll ever meet. They always give you a little more than you order. Sushi Time has become a weekly (sometimes bi-weekly) tradition in our house. A few favorite rolls to consider: -Sweet Salmon or Sweet Tuna Roll -Pink Lobster Roll -Creamy Salmon Roll -Sunset Roll -Fruit and Veggies Roll If you haven't tried Sushi Time yet you're missing out :) read more

Very good sushi. Ordered 3 small platters of California roll rice sushi platter for $22. Good deal. Service was fast and the ambiance good.

I'm really disappointed. I love this sushi place and everyone is so friendly here, and I've been coming here for literally over 2 decades, I'm disappointed now when you opt to stay in and order off the menu, they serve everything in disposable sushi trays they serve to go orders and delivery in, the cups as well. That defeats the purpose of dining in somewhere, and it's such a waste for the landfill and environment, I'm passionate about the Enviornment and try to live as zero waste as possible so unfortunately I won't be coming back here. If you don't care about this type of stuff, the environment, or the landfill, the sushi here is great and the people are so nice read more

The recipe of the sushi I chose was definitely unique, with hot sauce and rice puffs on top. However, the rice tasted old which ruined my impression of this $13 roll. I expected more. read more
