    I am a sushi lover. It is my absolute favorite food while I will not say this place is the best as far as flavor or quality all around it is by far the best all-you-can-eat deal that I can find with decent quality fish. You simply cannot find a place that is under $30 anymore with all you can eat lunch. I went on the weekend which is dinner only and cost 38 per person. The service was good because they cleared our dishes right away, but I was a little bit confused in the beginning because no one explained how to use the menu and ordering system. I tried salmon, white tuna, red clam king Salmon octopus, as well as their special roll bumblebee. The special roll was good but very heavy and filling. Out of all the fish I liked the salmon the most the cuts of sashimi were very thick and large, and the flavor was fresh and creamy which overall made the entire meal worth it for me. I would not recommend the octopus or other fish, but I did like the clam and ordered it a few times I would've liked to try the other special rolls, but just felt they would've been too filling for me. If you leave a review, they give you a free Thai tea. I was surprised because it was massive when I received it, but I can tell they use powder and I did not particularly like the taste. One thing that I did like with this place compare compared to Akino is that desserts are included in the all you can eat menu. Their desserts included orange slices two different types of cake, three flavors of ice cream and one or two other Chinese desserts. Overall, I would come back again because of the value for your money, but if you're craving a really great sushi experience, there are definitely other better options around. For variety and overall quality Akino wins, but Tokyo ya wins for value (bang for your buck)

    Saw the all you can eat sign outside of the store, and thought $38 was a bit much for how it looked, but I was wrong. This place was awesome. The menu for AYCE was huge, 150 items, I think, and included everything you could want, from sushi to Takoyaki. There was sashimi, noodles, soup, deserts, and wagyu on rice. It was all really good, and the servers brought the food very quickly. Definitely an awesome AYCE, check it out!

    Food 7/10 The AYCE (~$35) vibe really is great if you're carbo-loading before a marathon, and that's exactly what my boyfriend and I came here for him to do. Endless sushi heaven. The server questioned if we really wanted to get this much because we had to pay extra for what we didn't finish, and I enthusiastically said yes to their skeptical facial expressions. It was quite funny. My boyfriend did indeed finish everything. I thought their salmon was quite high quality, but otherwise, all the other seafood was just fine. For the price and the AYCE aspect though, I would say this place is quite an experience. They had fun donut sushi, plenty of options for appetizers, and a good selection of fish. You can pick either sashimi slices or nigiri, and it really just doesn't stop coming. Atmosphere 7/10 Cute spot with Japanese decor, plenty of seating, and we walked right in without a wait. Service 9/10 They were very attentive and friendly, kept on refilling our waters, which was a plus. Appreciate the service!

    I would rate 6 stars if I could! This checks off everything I want in an AYCE sushi experience and more. I am so impressed by the rice to filling ratio. It literally is one grain of rice between the filing and wrapper. The ratio is still insane even on rolls where fish is on top. In all my years of eating sashimi, I've never eaten cuts this thick either. And the quality is amazing. Deep variety of food on the AYCE menu too: noodles, rice, desserts, all at no additional cost. When I visited, the restaurant played a K-pop loop on their TV, so I was having a blast and a half.

    Location: 36-06 Ditmars Blvd Astoria, NY Service: great! Ambiance: nice and very aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. Instagram-worthy. Food: all tasted so good and savory. See each photo. Worth the try.

    Really great deal for good quality sushi. Very fast service. The tempura were very crunchy. Fish so fresh and tender. Impressive with only one waitress for all the tables. She was very friendly and efficient. The space is small but very cute. We will definitely be back!

    Tried the $25 lunch special and my goodness do you leave there full! Service was great but please be prepared to have a cell phone to scan the QR code to order directly from your phone. If you do not they do provide a paper type menu where you can pick what you want. The inside is extremely clean and designed so adorable. There's so many unique things to try that are specialties, it's nice to indulge in such cultural delights. Noodles, rice, sushi, rolls, drinks, you name it, It's with the pay one price.

    Oh no... I hyped this place up to my boyfriend and we came back here with my dad (who I originally tried this spot with) - the whole place / menu ordering changed. I guess there was a tiktok going around that might have blown up and ruined it for all of us No more reservations, ordering online through a QR code, the waitress asked if we wanted water, ran away and never came back. Half the food we ordered didn't come out, wait times were insane & the food we did get was tasteless. I'm so disappointed at the changes, we asked the waitress and she said that "dinner is busy, come back on a weekday when no one is here" guess we got lucky to try it before the downfall!

    Updating because I think there's room for improvement in service. The food is ok compared to other sushi spots on the rest of Ditmars. Note that their deal prices have increased a bit since I last posted.

    LOVE LOVE this spot! Everyone has been talking about it lately and it def lives up to the hype!! The place was PACKED, even on a Thursday night! For an AYCE the fish was really fresh! The service was great! Everyone was super sweet and attentive. I'm already wondering when I will go back!

    I went in there to try their all you can eat sushi and I left with discomfort, food poisoning, and overall not a great time. The rice was too sweet since Japanese sushi rice has a slight sweetness but this was way too much. The fish had an odd aftertaste which worried me and could explain the over sweetness on the rice. And I felt like I was eating more rice than fish because the rice was so compacted that I kept chewing on rice. Also there were flies and insect flying near our table which I had to keep an eye to swat away from the food. I made the error of over ordering thinking it was one batch that wasn't good but each time we ordered it went from bad to worse. The server explaining how to order from their menu/QR code through an app on our phones was very confusing. I would have just filled out a paper about how many pieces we wanted and if we wish to continue to fill out a new paper. I've tried all you can eat sushi and various price points/value in sushi and this one unfortunately was just awful. I don't recommend this location for their all you can eat sushi

    There is paid and residential street parking. I did not have trouble finding a spot on a Sunday afternoon. Inside is colorfully decorated with lots of tables spaced out, as well as counter seating. It was basically empty when I first came in, but got crowded by the time I left. I came for the AYCE. You marked down what you want on a sheet of paper. Service was attentive and friendly. They came by to clear plates and refill waters, and I didn't have to try to catch their attention whenever I needed something. What I got: - Kani Salad: had avocado on top! Lightly dressed. - Salmon Dragon Ball: the furikake adds a nice texture and flavor - Yellowtail Carpaccio: the yellowtail was well balanced with the spice from the jalapeno and the citrusy yuzu sauce - Tako Wasabi: fresh with a good amount of wasabi (not sinus clearing but can feel the kick). Small portion, which I appreciate, because you can always order more - Ika Geso Karaage: similarly small portion. Was hot and fresh out the fryer, and nicely salted. - Spicy Salmon Roll: not too spicy. The rice was on the sweet side, which overpowered any spiciness the roll had. - Variety of Sashimi and Sushi: similarly, the rice was on the sweet side. Some were less sweet than others though, so a bit inconsistent depending on the batch. I definitely preferred the sashimi because of the rice. The quality is decent. Note: Ikura was infused with yuzu. My favorite was the Red Clam: not too chewy with a good bite. I love the brininess of it. - Ice Cream: - Hojicha: has a decent hojicha flavor - Yuzu: actually a sorbet, so a good option for my lactose intolerance. Lovely yuzu flavor. For $30 on the weekend ($20 for weekday lunch), it's a good deal. The quality isn't the greatest, but if you're looking for an AYCE, then this place will do.

    For $30 dinner, the AYCE deal is pretty worth it. Not sure if they'll keep it at this rate but I think it's worth it to try it now. The pieces were cut nicely and they maintained the same size throughout our meal. I know some AYCE places tend to skimp out or make the pieces smaller when you order more. I also liked how they had ebi (both cooked and raw) as AYCE options. I could def get my moneys worth of sweet shrimp. On the other hand, their tuna sashimi was very dry and not the best. A friend already warned us about the tuna, but I was hoping it was just an off day. Their AYCE sheet is pretty organized and they categorize everything between cooked and raw options. Their appetizers and "from the kitchen" items were all pretty standard to most sushi places. I really enjoyed their dessert options! The yuzu and hojicha ice cream were both very refreshing and delicious. Staff was nice and very attentive. Kept refilling our water almost instantly. I'd keep coming for AYCE at these rates. (UPDATE: they increased their prices recently by $5 )

This was my first time at their Flushing location and this time, we ordered a la carte. You order on the iPad which has its pros & cons but overall was pretty simple. Their appetizers are well-priced and good portions at ~$6 each for the Edamame, Seaweed Salad, and Kani Salad. Their Seaweed Salad is delicious and is a must for me with sushi. The Kani Salad was also great but I'll probably try the spicy one next time for more flavor. The Yellowtail Jalapeño was fresh, bright, and slightly spicy. We got the Party Box which was perfect for sharing. Everything was beautifully presented, tremendously fresh, and full of flavor. My only complaint was that it wasn't served all together which I would've preferred and would've been a nicer presentation. The reason Akino is my favorite is their rice portion & fish quality! They don't try to overstuff you with carbs, their rolling technique is expert, and the fish is unbeatably fresh and good quality. All the rolls we got were delicious; I honestly can't pick a favorite and would get all 4 again. Amazing dinner!
