    So I heard that there was an all you can eat sushi that included all the rolls and even desserts and it was located in ASTORIA!! I knew I had to try it, we went for my brothers birthday and stuffed ourselves with sushi, their rolls were good between flavourful and delicious The space was clean and open, the service was fast and the servers were always helping us with our orders! They have an online system where we ordered our rolls on our phones and that would get to the kitchen so it was very cool!

    By far best AYCE in all of Queens. Price is similar to all others at Max weekend price of $34.99 per person however you're not limited to just sushi but instead sashimi in all cuts. Also included are all the kitchen appetizers, noodles, fried rice, niche items, and dessert. Restaurant is not too big and it does get crowded during peak hours but that's also a sign of great food and great service. Bit out-of-the-way in Astoria but well worth the trip if you're into sushi.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    I came by at 2:30 on a wednesday and there was a 5 min wait and place was packed until 4:30 which was closing time. First impressions weren't great as the AUCE menu seemed a lot more limited than it used to be a few weeks ago before the spot blew up. Additionally, there were only 2 waitresses and they seemed terribly overwhelmed for the number of customers they were seeving. However, when the sushi came I was honestly surprised that the quality of fish was decent and I was very happy with the salmon sashimi. I wasn't very impressed by the shrimp tempura, takoyaki or other kitchen items but thats not what I come to AYCE sushi for. Unfortunately, after our first order it took very long to get our second order taken as well as for it to come. I think this place would be great if it weren't so busy and understaffed, but I can't complain too much considering I had AYCE sushi for $20.

    My family and I have been longtime fans of Akino over in Elmhurst but we decided to give Tokyo Ya a try after I heard about their incredible lunch/dinner deals ($20/30 respectively) on TikTok. Just a note, on our most recent visit last Friday, we were notified that it was the last day for the deal and that prices would be raised an additional $5 (which still makes the meal relatively affordable for an AYCE sushi joint). With the new price change, they also added some new things to the menu including sushi donuts, onigiris, and new rolls. The space is small, but the turnover is high, which means the fish is always fresh. I really liked that you order through a QR code-- it streamlines the process and we were able to get our food within 10-15 min of ordering during prime dining hours on a busy Friday night. I really enjoyed the raw ebi, which was incredibly sweet and not something you find often on the menus. I will note, however, that we ordered white tuna sashimi and was given something I'm assuming was seared albacore instead of escolar, which I was expecting due to pictures on the menu. As for rolls, I enjoyed the volcano roll and the Tokyo Ya roll the best. I did find that the rice was a little hard, but was otherwise pleasantly surprised with the quality. The volcano roll had a crispy shrimp tempura filling and was topped with soft spicy tuna. The Tokyo Ya roll had a sweet mango and eel sauce that cut through the richness of the avocado and rice.

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.

We are very familiar with the area and must have walked passed this neatly tucked away gem without ever noticing it.

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.
