This is a hidden gem in Forest Hills, there are many sushi places in FH but this place has always been consistent in terms of freshness of the fish. Our two favorites are crazy dragon roll and sashimi platter. You get shrimp tempura and eel in the crazy dragon roll and it's a bit spicy but not too overwhelming. The sashimi platter comes with 22 pieces of sashimi, plenty of variety, salmon, white tuna, crab sticks, tamagotchi, yellowtail, fluke etc They are so popular even the pandemic can't slow them down! During popular times like Friday, Saturday nights, it is best to call 40-60min ahead for your order, otherwise you will have to wait a bit, but totally worth it ! read more

I like how to they have sushi options in the fridge if you are in a hurry & don't necessarily have the time to wait & they always have "none seafood" sushi options also. They ladies are always friendly. read more

I got the salmon trio roll. It was amazing ! fresh and creamy everything I wanted. She kinda Ged me with the eggs (hardly any) but I'll give it 4stars cause it was great without it too. read more

This place deserves the great reviews. Post pandemic it's take out only. The sushi is ALWAYS fresh and the staff IS ALWAYS super friendly. This is a mom and pop type joint. Been coming here for years and the food is consistent. Can't say enough. read more

Excellent sushi, great tempura and usually on time delivery. Where I think they need to improve is to provide more ginger and other items that enhance the experience especially when I call and request extra condiments etc. read more

Super convenient sushi bar. They've got a case filled with ready to go sushi like you'd find at some grocery stores but this is sushi restaurant quality. I grabbed a salmon and avocado roll to go. Reasonably priced and quick service. read more

Sushi Time - Part of my sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

Best Sushi around and very friendly staff. My favorite is their spicy tuna roll and salmon avocado,

I live in the neighborhood and would come to this place for some takeout. I decided to give it a review. While this is a small place with no bathroom, it does have air conditioner which is a plus come summer time. Ahhhhh. I ordered a sushi combo meal which consisted of 8 piece sushi, 1 California roll, and a small salad and miso soup for 16 bucks. Really good deal. Let me tell you, the fish tasted very fresh and the portion of the fish slice is generous. My son got the eel avocado roll plus shrimp tempura roll. The service is very good and staffs are attentive. There are even some rolls that have been pre made that day that you can off the shelf. I would highly recommend this amongst the other Japanese sushi places in the neighborhood. Would definitely come back Again. read more

Sushi was sloppily made, uneven and falling apart. Don't understand the hype about this place.

Why has this taken me so long to review Sushi Time?!?! This is my favorite sushi anywhere. I am basic but I just love it. Sushi time is my comfort food. I have had the same order for years. I am sure other things are good but I stick to my same 3 rolls no matter what. Why? Because it if the perfect combination. Spicy Tuna Roll (with crunch) - the best I have ever had. Their tuna is well above average. I love that it had some nice big pieces of tuna. I hate when the tuna is mushy. Not here. Spicy Shrimp Tempura Roll - again the best I have ever had. There is something about their sauce on the shrimp that is just better than others. My only complaint is I wish they served it without the shrimp tails. Cucumber Avocado - just good. As I said my order is basic. Their basic items blow the competition away. I judge all sushi against Sushi Time and I have yet to find anyone who is in the same league. Cucumber read more

Holy crap this place is beyond small. There's no bathroom so be easy on the drinks. The door is left wide open allowing flying insects to travel in and dine with you whilst there's AC on. I'm not quite sure how leaving the door open makes sense. I was playing tennis with the mosquitos. Their tap water is refreshing. We ordered two rolls each. I had the shrimp tempura and spicy crunchy salmon roll. He had something fancy -- I forget what but every time we have sushi I always enjoy his more (side eye). The rolls relied heavily on the condiments to give them flavor. The shrimp tempura roll was huge and difficult to eat in regards to being completely filled with cucumbers and a piece of shrimp. The tempura batter was a soggy mess. Their idea of "crunchy" is rice crispy cereal mixed in with mashed salmon and rolled up and then served on a plate. Two stars for their lackluster sushi, but on the bright side the waitress was very accommodating when I told her the salmon was not fresh. She didn't charge my beau for the roll. Never again. read more

Hard to find good or even decent sushi at low prices in New York. Well Sushi Time gives you just that. Huge selection of rolls here with options to dine in, pick-up, or even get delivery. I had the following rolls and they were all tasty, fresh, and big. The OMG and WOW rolls were my favorite. The gentlemen's roll was my least favorite. - spicy tuna roll - spicy salmon roll - OMG roll - Gentlemen's roll - WOW roll Will be back. read more

A little disappointed with the pricing vs the quality these days. Been going here for a long time and the past few times (especially since the "renovation") I noticed the prices are ridiculously high. They are charging $20 for a 6pc "lobster roll that features 85% imitation* crab. For that price I can go to Flushing and buy two full-blown live lobsters. Sorry but with those prices and other options in the area I will not be returning. Nothing worse them feeling ripped-off. read more

Used to be great food. Sushi with barely any rice? The chefs have amazing skill to use the bare minimum rice on any rolls! Probably amazing for dieters who try to eat less carb, otherwise turn another way! read more

The near perfect reviews for this place surprised me, and made me question whether or not I was looking at the right place - you mean the tiny little place with the refrigerator display of take-out sushi in the front? I didn't even know they had sit-down tables with waiter service, so I was delighted when I finally went inside and tried this place out to find some of the best rolls I've had in NY. There are about 3 tables of four, and a few seats at the sushi bar in the tiny space. Most people seem to be coming in and out and getting take-out since there are so few seats, but we were able to get a spot and experienced the excellent, friendly service. There are a bunch of special rolls on the menu, so we went with a few of those. The best of course were the ones involving eel, but they were all great: - Munchy Roll ($9): Yellowtail, tuna, avocado, scallion and crunch - Tuna Trio ($14): Spicy tuna and avocado wrapped with white tuna and red tuna. - Red Dragon ($14): Spicy tuna and avocado topped with eel and red tobiko - King Dragon ($14): Eel and avocado topped with eel and tobiko. For a little place like this, I was shocked to see how generous they were with the eel. Each of those Dragon rolls had a huge, thick slab of eel on top, which was nice and warm and delicious. The 5-star rating might be slightly generous, but it gets the extra bump given the pleasant surprise of finding such a good option for food in the otherwise pretty weak neighborhood of food choices that is Forest Hills. There are better rolls at a number of other places in the city, but the great service here also elevates it above a lot of other similar places. I'm glad that I've found a go-to spot now for tasty, satisfying food when I'm in the area. read more

Sushi rolls made right when you order or just grab and go! Sushi Time is my go-to place for sushi during lunch hour. My favorite rolls here are the Scallion Yellowtail, Salmon Avocado, and other various simple rolls. (I like them simple as you can tell!) I choose to sit in to enjoy the freshness of the ingredients but take-out is okay, too! Each piece is cut evenly, mouth-sized, and with generous amount of ingredients. It's quite tasty! This spot is very tiny and probably seats around only 10 people. You pretty much can see the entire restaurant with just one glance. I was here a few times when they just opened for lunch and there are people sitting there waiting to order already. The ladies there are always friendly and always alert when you need them. While I truly believe Sushi Time is a great choice for sushi rolls or quick grab-n-go lunch, I disagree with it being compared to Sushi Yasu located a few blocks away. Sushi Time is great for regular sushi rolls. Sushi Yasu is great for omakase experience. Seriously, there is a difference, get it right! read more

Sushi Time - Salmon Avocado - Sushi Bars Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

Sushi Time is a hidden gem in Forest Hills. All the locals know about it, but if you're new to the area, this place is a cut above all the other sushi places. The location is small inside, but they do deliver and take out. The prices are higher however, the quality you get is just so much better than the other standard take out sushi joint. Everything here tastes so much fresher and this is a Sushi place that does it right. A couple of my favorites are the Dragon Roll (Crab/Eel) , the classic tuna roll and the Yellow Tail Scallion. You can't go wrong with anything here really - it's preference. Prime time deliveries can take a while, so plan ahead. Sometimes, if they catch up, you can get your delivery a lot faster, but order early! read more

Driving on Austin street, you can easily miss this store if you blink. Luckily, we had 5 pairs of eyes, looking for the highly recommended Sushi Time. This tiny 16 seater-sushi hole-in-the-wall had more patrons taking out than sitting in. The two of us were seated immediately right by the door at the only available chairs. The sushi chefs were rapidly slicing and rolling fulfilling orders as happy patrons indulged in decorated rolls. Great value for your money! As promised by other patrons, the chefs of Sushi Time make it a point to give extras. We ordered 2 unis and three arrived! Buttery, sweet, slightly salty, this was the best uni I've had in the states. A tuna salad arrived shortly after, also on the house. And the rolls were multi colored, flavorful, covered in roe or mayo sauce or both (see pics). The tuna trio had bits of buttery 'red tuna'. The OMG roll and special #3 was satisfactory with the mayo, crunchy shrimp (tasted like fried shrimp shells) and roe. read more

This might be some of the best sushi that I have had in months. It's a very small place with a little sushi bar and about 7 tables that seat 2 a piece, place the bar which can seat about 3 or 4. It seems like most people just order to go from here, or pick up some sushi from the little deli fridge on the right hand side. The sushi in the deli fridge is about $1-2 less than the fresher made sushi that you get when eating there. My preference would be to eat here, even though the to go sushi is just as good. They have great service and they will randomly give you free stuff compliments of the sushi chef, but I think it might depend on how much you spend. My recommendation would be to get the sashimi, one of the combos which are a great deal. For under $15 you can get some great sashimi with soup and a salad. You'll definitely be able to taste the awesome quality of their fish. read more

I pass SUSHI TIME often and wonder if it's going to be another restaurant with mediocre food and overpriced for what it is. My boyfriend and I ordered the salmon avocado rolls and crunchy tuna rolls with avocado. I must say that this is the best crunchy tuna roll I have ever tasted in my life. The crunchy part was around the roll covering the rice. Most places, will put the crunch in the center. The fish was unbelievably fresh. A small place to sit down, so not a place to come with larger groups. Nonetheless, sitting in here can be surprisingly relaxing. The only reason I did not leave five stars is because my water was not filled up once. It's important to have water at some point during/after my meal when it's 94 degrees outside. read more

Don't look for hot entrees or anything of that nature here. The only hot dish you'll get are probably gyoza and chicken dumplings. The name of the restaurant says it all. The sushi is fresh and the prices are fair. We ordered the sashimi set to share, a salmon avocado roll and uni sushi. Uni was fresh and creamy. The place is very small. I think I only counter 4 tables and a sushi bar counter that can sit 4. Not bad. Not bad at all. read more

Unbelievably delicious! I ordered it to go and everything was packed so nicely. All the rolls tasted fresh and service was quick and friendly. Everything was reasonably priced which is a plus. I am definitely going to make this my go to sushi joint. Check it out, you won't regret it! read more

Sushi Time - Eel with avocado, shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, spicy salmon with Kani salad - Sushi Bars Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

I don't know what else to say other than Sushi Time continues to be a notch above the rest. No matter if you're a beginner or big time sushi eater, you can't go wrong! Food is always fresh and tasty. Sashimi, plain or various combo rolls, whatever it is, it's gonna be good. Maybe also try some sides like the seaweed and octopus salads. Again, everything is always very fresh and tasty. Been coming here for a few years now and I've never had a complaint. I also like the creativity of adding new rolls every now and then. You look at other menus and they never change. Thanks for continuing to keep the bar high. read more

Got this spot as a quick dinner. I ordered the sashimi box which came with 8 pieces of sashimi, 1 miso soup, 1 salad, and California roll for 17$ and got an eel avocado roll and a shrimp tempura roll. It wasn't until after I ordered that I noticed there was a 22 pieces of sashimi deal for 22$ but by the time I called back they already had my order ready. While I was sad I couldn't change it, I was extremely impressed by how quickly the order was done. The lady in the front was very nice and even packed extra ginger for me. The sashimi was awesome-- it tasted super fresh and the salad came w a great dressing. The shrimp tempura was also very filling and the ginger was pickled nicely. Tbh I would give this place a 4.5; knocking off .5 of a star bc I the eel avocado tasted not fresh/borderline bad and they gave VERY LITTLE amounts of wasabi. Don't get me wrong I know a lot of places give a lot, leaving it to waste but this place barely gave a fleck. Definitely request extra wasabi if you're ordering take out from here read more

Service + awesome food = 5 stars! I would have never even bothered to look at this place if it weren't for Yelp. Thank you YELP!! I am so happy I found this place. Albeit small on the inside, this place is BIG on the flavor and freshness. First thing I saw on the menu was a 90 piece sashimi platter. How could you not love this place? Being that I wasn't hungry enough to eat that, I went with some of the suggestions from my fellow Yelpers. Volcano roll = fantastic! Spicy crunchy roll-great flavor and texture Yellow tail and white tuna sashimi- GIGANTIC pieces of fish that melte like butter in your mouth. To top it off the chef sent out some complimentary sushi, tasted like a spicy salmon roll only sweeter. Whatever it was it was delicious! I am looking forward to going back! read more

You need to try this restaurant. I am a sushi fanatic and am very judgmental about sushi. This is the best sushi spot I've ever been to, and one of my favorite restaurants ever. My gf and I go here almost weekly, and whenever we have friends visit we always take them here. We get eye rolls from our friends in Manhattan when we tell them that the best sushi spot in NYC is in Forest Hills, but everyone we've brought here has been won over. The restaurant is pretty small and looks very unassuming from the outside, but is clean and well managed. If you get a spot for dine-in, the space is great for a cozy and casual date night, and the owner and people working there are amazingly friendly. That said, the vast majority of their business seems to be takeout / delivery, and they also stock a grab-and-go fridge (although we always prefer to order our own). The sushi itself is phenomenal. The quality of fish is SHOCKING, get a few nigiri pieces and save them for last, they melt in your mouth. They have an extensive menu of specialty rolls that they rotate 3-4 times per year and are also great. For "crunchy" here they use something like a puffed rice cereal, which I've only ever seen at a couple other sushi places. It's such a good choice and works especially well with their rolls. The portion sizes are generous and the prices are really fair (and extremely well priced relative to the high quality). Some of our favorites are: - Creamy Salmon Roll - Sweet Tuna Roll - Special Blue Crab Roll - Pink Lobster Roll - Mango Tango Roll - Asian Pear Roll - Mr Charlie's Roll - Fruit veggie Roll (good dessert or appetizer) - Any a la carte Nigiri Everything about this place is great. Impossible to say too many good things about it read more

Hubby and I moved into FH recently and were looking for sushi after a long day of appliance shopping! My good friend mentioned Sushi Time was her fave sushi place so I had it in my bookmarks to check out. We've passed by it numerous times walking up/down Austin St. It's a super small establishment, (with no bathrooms!) but don't let that detract you from the food. Hubs and I walked in 15 mins prior to closing, and they still offered to make us to-go sushi. We placed an order for 4 rolls - spicy salmon crunch, eel avo, tempura shrimp, and white tuna avo. SO GOOD. Like legit every single roll. We were pretty impressed and thought it was definitely above average sushi. Delivery looks to be pretty speedy too! Sushi Time - you'll definitely see us again soon! read more

So we have tried this hole in the wall sushi spot when in a rush a few years back. Everything was amazing. But never really dined here again. Recently I hosted a large gathering for my sons birthday and we did 2 large sushi platters from sushi time. Every roll and sashimi was so fresh! The rolls were a nice size as well- not overfilled with rice or cheap on the fish. The staff was so nice and helpful- they make you feel welcomed which is a nice change from other sushi restaurants. The platters were prepared beautifully too. I'm officially changing my take out sushi spot to sushi time! read more

One of my favorite spots to frequent when that sushi craving hits (as it often does)! This place is tiny with seating for probably less than 20 people so it's probably best for locals to either order pick up or have a quick meal. Service is friendly and the waitresses greet you like they know you! Definitely a reasonable price for the quality of sushi. The fish is always incredibly fresh and proportioned well, especially compared to the cheaper $3.50 rolls you can find in Queens. The salmon box is my usual go to order. Only downside is that there is no bathroom at all which is frustrating. read more

My husband and I have been going to this sushi place for years and I have to say this is the best I know of in the neighborhood. They have a good variety of pre-made selections at their premises for grab and go or you can also order from the menu. I suggest you call in your order in advance or the wait time will depend on how busy they are. All the varieties I have tried so far have been great. Their prices are not the cheapest compared to other sushi places in the area and I'm not aware that they offer any lunch specials but I would rather have great food at a reasonable price than cheap mediocre food. We look forward to going back at least once a week and chatting with the owner who is very friendly and very nice. read more
