    Pork gyoza
    Chelsea A.

    The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. It was much tastier than a lot of the options in Woodside I've had over the years and definitely gonna try to keep coming back to try more of their creative rolls. The service was attentive and accommodating, because we asked to be seated outside, and they moved around some tables for us. And since we ate outside, the ambience was really relaxing and pleasant to just eat sushi with. Love my experience here! and definitely recommend for anyone in the Queens area. Looking for a sushi spot with so many drink options!

    TJ's is the best Asian/sushi spot around the area! The food has always been great, consistent and at reasonable prices. I've been here for indoor dining, outdoor dining, takeout/delivery and the food has never disappointed me. The rolls are fresh, the restaurant is clean, and the staff is always efficient/friendly. They are closed on Mondays. Highly recommend!

    I'm a Sunnyside local and TJs is a go to spot. The food is fresh and affordable and the service is good.The restaurant is small, intimate, and very dimly lit. It's great for a casual date. The sushi is good. I love their house Pinot Grigio (only $7 a glass) it's not extremely dry, gives you a buzz, and no headache after! Their red velvet cake is very good as well and I definitely recommend it if you like something sweet after a meal.

    TJs is the best sushi spot in the area. The food is consistently good and always FRESH. It is so important for a sushi spot to be clean and fresh. TJs is just that. The lunch specials are affordable and offer great portions. The offer fast delivery within the area. No need to use third party delivery platforms. In addition to great food at a great value, they are friendly and welcoming. Always courteous with great service. Note: they are temporarily closed on Monday.

    Never judge a book by its cover....I have passed by here multiple times and just never had any interest in even trying their food.....epic mistake. Went for lunch Saturday and was beyond pleasantly surprised with everything. The service was great my server was friendly and very accommodating.....the sushi was so fresh and tasty and I loved the seaweed salad. I was able to sit outside on a beautiful sunny warm day and just take in the sights and consume some of the best sushi in Sunnyside. I won't go anywhere else now and can't wait to get my next meal. They have seats inside as well.

    It's neighborhood sushi spot . Easy to order but you have to pick it up. Service is friendly and ambiance is lovely.

    We ordered deliveries many times from TJ. This time we decided to dine in. It's a good-sized restaurant with at least 3-4 small tables outside and 6-7 tables for four inside the restaurant. They put a partition between each table. It looked perfect. The chairs were comfortable too. A small sushi bar is by the corner. Anyway, we had Yoki as our waitress. She was a terrific waitress, well trained too. We ordered double salmon for my bento which was served on a plate. Hubby had a sushi katsu combination. We also had salmon skin and seaweed salad for appetizer. Our dish came with a bowl of salad too. We both liked the finger dressing for the salad. One thing the place doesn't have is the yellow mustard. Hubby told Yoki to add that to the restaurant, or else he'll bring his own, haha! Maybe next time we can start cooking and making sushi there too. Overall, I prefer eating here rather than having it delivered. I loved my salmon, cooked to perfection. Hubby enjoyed his meal too. Nice place, great food, and service. Glad we have this in our neighborhood.

    I really liked this place. I was hoping it would be great based off of all the positive reviews. Im surprised that I never came here until recently. But glad that I did. First we ordered the peach flavored sparkling sake to start off with our appetizer which is called the amazing composition, and it was amazing (haha) in taste and the presentation as it is a chef special with salmon, tuna, jalapeño, and seaweed salad. Even the waitress asked if we minded if she took a picture of it. I thought it would be spicy, but it wasn't. Also, ordered Tuna Tartar which had tuna, scallion, masago with special sauce. The special sauce gave it a good kick. The waitress gave us great recommendations. For entrees I ordered the Sashimi deluxe off of the sushi bar entrees section and asked if I wanted a bowl of rice to go along with it which I accepted. I was craving sashimi so this definitely helped. My friend ordered the Spider Roll and Hidden Mango Roll. I did try the Spider roll, but didn't get a chance to try the other roll. But if you're a fan of mango, you should try it. We were at the tipping point between almost full to full so we wanted something else so we shared the Seafood Yaki Udon. This was okay, but it needed some spice. But great for seafood lovers as it has shrimp, scallop, squid, kani and fish cake. Since we finished the first sparkling sake bottle had to order another flavor which was Yuzu. All in all I will be going back as they have so many food items on the menu which I would like to try.

    1) Dinner bento box 2) rainbow sushi with crunch inside 3) avocado bomb 4) King crab Naruto.

    For the past 7 yrs, I have been ordering from TJ asian bistro. Their food is always super fresh, delicious with amazing textures& presentations and consistently top notch! It is affordable & reasonably priced with generous portions which I love & appreciate. they always put so much efforts and care into their food and it really shows even the ways how they pack their delivery food. It's like high end sushi restaurant level of care, taste& presentation for sure! I usually order deliveries from their website and even their delivery people are professional & always delivering with care. Their food is my comfort food and I can always count on them. I highly recommend all the food from here but here are some of my favorites in the photo 1) Dinner bento box 2) rainbow sushi with crunch inside 3) avocado bomb 4) King crab Naruto Enjoy!

    For some reason, whenever I'm sick, I tend to feel like either Chinese or sushi. I like having smaller pieces I can pick from, rather than an entire sit down type of meal and of course, soup. My husband recently got the flu, so I thought he may like the same idea, not having much of a full appetite and all. I ordered takeout and even from the time I called to make my order, I was greeted with such a friendly tone, it immediately put me in a good mood. I ordered him the vegetable teriyaki lunch box and I ordered myself the chicken teriyaki lunch box. Both of those are an amazing value for the amount of food you get and they come with a soup or salad. I also ordered the vegetable yaki soba noodles and shrimp gyoza to have as something to pick on throughout the night or save for the next day. The order was ready quickly and everything was packed neatly, which I always appreciate with takeout. The presentation is great as is the food itself. Even with feeling I'll and not having an appetite, my husband ate the whole vegetable teriyaki box in two sittings that afternoon. My chicken teriyaki was great, could have used a touch more sauce, but otherwise, super filling. I had also asked to switch out the shumai for vegetable dumplings which were delicious and the spring rolls were so nice and crispy, probably my favorite part. Even when I was completely full, I kept going back to pick at the order of shrimp gyoza, they were that amazing. Perfect flavor and with just a dab of soy sauce... over the moon. The yaki soba noodles were really yummy as well, but they did have a slightly overwhelming mushroom aftertaste to them. I'm not the hugest mushroom fan, so I do wish I'd noticed that it had mushrooms so I may have asked for those to be excluded. However, with some sriracha, that was so easily fixed. This is a really wonderful neighborhood gem with such a great staff and incredible food - all at a really decent price point as well. Highly recommend. When my husband was feeling better the week after, we actually just went to dine in. It was a great experience. Very friendly and attentive wait staff and quick service. The food had a lovely presentation, and I love the attention to small details. This time, my husband got the beef fried rice and I had the shrimp and vegetable tempura. Our appetizers were the chicken satay and shrimp gyoza. Nothing disappointed. I tried the fried rice myself even though I don't eat beef. I would say the rice itself was a touch oily and needed just a sprinkling more of salt, but the spicy kick aftertaste made up for it. That's just a personal preference though, it was still great. My shrimp and vegetable tempura was deliciously crispy and SO filling after the appetizers. It came with rice (which I didn't take) and a soup or salad, and of course, I went for the yummy miso soup. The chicken satay looked delicious and my husband devoured it. It has a nice turmeric/curry smell to it (but I was way too full from eating most of the shrimp gyoza... can never say no to those). For two of us dining in with me having a glass of wine and him having two ramune sodas, everything came out to about $59 which, considering how much food we had was a value, I'd say! Highly highly recommend this place!

    Amazing SUSHI
    Jenny T.

    This place is amazing. Dinner reservations always grated. I always call ahead my table is ready. The waiters always is tentative and makes sure you always have water or if you need a drink he is ready to serve you. This is worth it. Delivery service is also great. They actually take the time to put every sushi roll in a different container so the flavor stays fresh. The sauce to each roll stay on the actual roll. Will come back and do it every Sunday.

We got a variety of their nigiri, a couple of their rolls, and tried a bunch of their appetizers. I wasn't the biggest fan of their takoyaki or their sushi pizza as I felt that it was mostly just flour and rice--with barely any sauce. On the other hand, their unagi fried rice was flavorful, their nigiri and rolls had an amazing fish:rice ratio, and their fried scallops were delicious. Overall, unbeatable deal and solid quality sushi. Would definitely come back!

Ofc got a good variety of food from hot food to sushi and sweets. Hot food: -fried shu mai was nice and hot with a very thin wrapper so got that nice brittle crunch -sirloin was juicy -fried oyster was also really decent -eggplant tempura crunchy outside and nice and soft in the inside. Perfect texture since sometimes the eggplant is not soft enough imo Sushi: Their sashimi slices seem to got thinner but that's fine cuz we can order more. Yellowtail, salmon, and white tuna was supppper delish. White tuna will be my go to here now. The sushi rolls and nigiri were good too. Love the rice to fish ratio here since other ayce spams rice. Dessert: Jasmine milk pudding- this was more like Jasmine milk tea with pudding topping, but the tea was actually really floral. We all liked it. Every server was super nice and food came out not too late considering how packed they were. Again, really appreciate them being able to accommodate our change in reservation even though they were packed.

We are very familiar with the area and must have walked passed this neatly tucked away gem without ever noticing it. Our son had mentioned that he and his friends have been going to a sushi place near Asian Jewel, our former dim sum go to place. When we sat down to order, my wife and I were quite impressed by how clean and cozy the restaurant was. Kind of on the small side with a few tables on the ground floor level. The menu offered cooked food as well as fresh sushi. We decided to start with the sushi & sashimi combo. They also offered a sushi or sashimi a la carte menu where you can choose to order by the piece. I believe that if you choose one of their standard menu sushi or sashimi orders and pay with cash, the a la carte price per piece of sushi / sashimi is only $1.35 / piece! Well we were famished and in addition to the sushi & sashimi plate we ordered two rounds of sushi & sashimi a la carte. Their salmon and yellow tail was so fresh and so scrumptious as was the sweet shrimp. The tuna was also very yummy and did not disappoint! When all was said and done we were quite happy with our experience with Yoi Sushi Japanese. I highly recommend Yoi if you're anywhere near Tangram Mall or Asian Jewel and have a hankering for yummy sushi. They also offer cooked food as well as ramen bowls.
