This place doesn't stand out; in fact, if not for the reviews, I probably would have walked in and walked out. But the food is effin great. I would definitely recommend the Kushi Sushi meal.

I stopped in quick before heading out to dinner and had a drink at the bar. The bar/lounge had an…read moreall-day happy hour menu that is stellar. For $8, I got a whole hot sake (about 5 cups). It was delicious, hit the spot, and I will absolutely be getting it again. Quiet, clean vibes inside. Service was a bit slow but the bartender seemed to also be responsible for all the lounge tables and the takeout/check-in counter- so she was spread thin!

Decided to meet a friend here for an early dinner. I arrived first so sat at the bar to wait, it…read morewas around 4PM and I was the only person there. They have happy hour from 3-7pm drinks are $7-8 and hot apps are $8 . I got a glass of wine and the Bang Bang cauliflower. I asked for the sauce on the side as sometimes it's too spicy. The cauliflower was in a tempura batter which was light and crispy and the sauce was more sweet then spicy but had a nice flavor. After my friend arrived we ordered the pork dumplings, which were tasty but nothing special. Eventually we moved to the dinning room. The menu is extensive with many hot dishes and sushi selections. There is a $29 price fixe that includes soup or salad, a small plate or dim sum, a kitchen entree and dessert with no restrictions off the full menu. Quite a bargain. We both got the wonton soup, which was ok but could have been hotter in temperature. We got the wagyu short rib potstickers and the crystal shrimp shumai, the beef were dry and benefited from the dipping sauce, the shrimp were fine. I got the Tiger prawns which was the star of the meal. Huge shrimp stacked high with a light sauce over shredded cabbage serves with either brown or white rice. I took half of them home. My friend doesn't like spicy food so asked which of the ramen dishes was not spicy. The waitress recommended the pork belly which arrived with no broth at all, after that was remedied it was still too spicy, which of course is personal but still. My friend got the fried ice cream & I got the chocolate cake with green tea ice cream, both were ok if forgettable I think if I decide to return it will be for happy hour only and I'll stick to the small plate apps and maybe take an order of the tiger prawns home.

Kura Sushi Revolving Sushi Bar in Lake Grove is a five star experience that is both fun and…read moredelicious from start to finish. The moment you walk in, the ambience immediately stands out.

Five stars without question.

Came here on a weekday evening around 8pm. The hostess was extremely nice. We had to wait about 5 mins for them to clear off a table to be seated. Cleanliness was OK. Portions of the food for the price wasn't the best. You get 4 sushi pieces for $4. Things add up quickly for sure! There's different eating options to choose from, whether ordering from the screen manually or by the revolving sushi belt. Drinks came out on a robot which was cool. Positive note - food came out in a timely manner. Not sure if I'll be back, though... If you're not good with technology, this isn't the place for you!

The lighting, the music, the whole ambience screams "you're about to have a great night." The service here is top-notch. Everyone is super friendly, attentive without hovering, and genuinely seems to enjoy being part of the experience. Our server knew the menu inside and out and gave amazing recommendations, which is how I ended up discovering what might be the best roll I've ever had in my life (the Aji 53 Roll, obviously). The sushi itself? Absolute perfection. Every piece looked like it came straight off a magazine cover -- fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. You can taste the quality and the craftsmanship in every bite. Even the appetizers and cocktails were on point, the spicy edamame and lychee martini combo had me hooked before the main event even arrived. What I love most is the energy here, whether you're out for date night, a group dinner, or just treating yourself, Aji 53 makes it feel special. The staff pays attention to the little things: your drink never runs empty, dishes come out at the perfect pace, and they always check in to make sure you're smiling (and you will be). By the end of the meal, I found myself saying, "Why am I not here every week?" Aji 53 isn't just another sushi spot, it's an experience. From the décor to the food to the service, they nail it across the board. If you're anywhere near Smithtown and love sushi (or even if you think you don't), trust me. make a reservation, show up hungry, and thank me later.

Base my reviews off what you pay:…read more *This place does not take reservations. We did not have to wait at 8PM on a Friday. Price - $60-$100 per person (2 apps, bottle of Sake, sushi platter, 2 rolls) Food - 4/5 - great sushi, killer apps. Service - 2/5 - slight mix up on order. Ambiance - 3/5 - no complaints, nothing fancy. Overall - 3/5 - sushi here is great, really good quality and rolls all together. Their appetizers are phenomenal though, easily the best things we ate (more below). Good selection of everything for someone. Service was fine but they did mix our order up and brought the wrong thing out and time. Also rushed us a bit to get out of there even with empty tables. Ambiance is fine, nothing special but clean and gives a good vibe. You go here the food but good luck anytime between 5-7PM on a weekend night. Definitely worth a stop. Best Dish - Spicy Tuna Pizza, Spicy Tuna Sandwich

Did the waitress think we were sharing and what happened to the lime? Now let's move onto the meu. We had a difficult time deciding because nothing stood out as desirable on the menu. We didn't order any appetizers, but they did look good. I opted for the Curry Katsu Don. The chicken was pretty good but a portion was undercooked. My husband couldn't find anything he liked, so he settled for the bowl of broth with noodles and added the fried chicken balls. That was a bit of a miss. The place itself is cute but resembles a takeout restaurant with Anime covering the walls. I can see this being a good place for college kids to frequent because the pricing is very reasonable. I'm glad we gave it a try but will probably not venture back.

Looking for a fun dining experience where you cook your food, then this is a place to add to your…read morelist. Having never been to this type of restaurant before, we came with seasoned veterans so as to not be confused and/or overwhelmed. It's a lot IF you have no idea how this place works. Here's the gist of it: There's BBQ and/or Hot Pot. You can do one or both. There's a set price for adults and children. It's all you can eat for your 60-90 minute time slot. For a slight up charge, you can get both BBQ and hot pot. Since this was our first time, our party focused on just the BBQ. You are told when it's last call for having the raw items brought out from the kitchen to cook. Appetizers and sides are prepared in the kitchen and brought out upon your request. We tried quite a few: sweet fried mini buns, fried shrimp shuami, fried pork goyza, and fried spring rolls. All were yummy! Each person can request up to five items at one time. That's harder to do that you realize. And they will keep rolling it out as you request. However, it's important to note that wasting food is frowned upon so you are expected to order responsibility to avoid unnecessarily just throwing food away. Stars of the night for us were the skirt steak, short ribs and pork belly with enoki mushrooms. The zucchini and large mushrooms were standout fresh veggies. Everything brought to the table was very fresh and flavorful because of all the available sauces offered including a make-your-own-sauce bar. Again, adding personalized FUN to this dining experience. Service was quick and our table area was clean. Because the restaurant was so busy we sometimes had to trouble catching our server to order more items and get beverage refills. But it was never overly long. The evening ends with a Hershey's personal-sized cup of ice cream or sherbet. Just one per person. You'll be so full so one is more than enough! With our big group of seven people , our dining outing was a really fun experience. We'll be back and be sure to come hungry!

They offered a nice selection of food for the shabu shabu, so that was good. Service was ok.

This place is located inside the Smith Haven Mall so there's plenty of free parking, just make sure you park by the mall entrance where the food court is. Otherwise you'd be walking through the mall just to get to the food court. They had a good selection of food/drinks and I ended up ordering a Peach Fuji Apple Homemade Fruit Tea and the Grilled Shrimp 5 Course Bento Box. The bento box didn't look like it had much food: 8 small grilled shrimp, a few pieces of fried chicken, white rice, salad and a miso soup. However, despite not looking like much, I was pleasantly full and satisfied at the end! The shrimp was very flavorful as was the fried chicken. The sauce that came with the bento box was good though I'm not sure what it was exactly. The drink was really good too, with a few slices of actual fruit and the liquid had a fizzy taste to it. It was very refreshing! Once you place your order, you get a buzzer and once that goes off, you return it for your food/drink. I would definitely return to order the same thing again or to try other menu items!
