    the menu for the restaurant

    Looks closed even though the place is open. Smithtown location was small. Service was good. Sesame chicken was good but not the same compared to the RVC location. I want more chicken and less breading.

    I'm really glad I found this sushi place near me. As far as sushi is concerned what would you be looking for? Cleanliness certainly, unique and traditional sushi rolls, and friendly service. Wild Ginger does hit those marks. If your in the area, live nearby, I'd say give this a go. I was super happy with our waitress who was really helpful and really nice.

    A friend of mine introduced me to Wild Ginger, and I am so happy they did! We love this restaurant and it's perfect for lunch or dinner. The lunch menu is perfect, everything comes with soup or salad, great portions and a great price. The service is super nice and friendly and the food is always on point! It's a nice, comfortable atmosphere and I highly recommend going here for lunch or dinner - or take-out! :) Including some pics of meals we have had in the last few weeks!

    Hubby and I were passing and stopped on a whim for a late lunch. Greeted by a friendly staff and seated by the window. Wild Ginger is a small and simple restaurant situated in a tiny shopping center. Complementary fried wonton chips and duck sauce was immediately placed on the table. Our crispy salads and spinach egg drop soup came shorty after. We ordered a few Rolls and a dinner entree that we were very pleased with. Everything was delicious and fresh. Very happy our food came out steaming hot since temperature is a big deal to me. My only suggestion , be more generous with the rice. Want to thank the staff for excellent service. Really appreciated that you keep the water and napkins coming. Lunch worked out very well and we plan on returning again when we're in the area.

    Love that when we sat down they gave us a version of chips with dip. Fried Wonton chips with a ginger dipping sauce, hubby said it's like a sweet duck sauce. I ordered edamame, it was super salty but it's ok because I only need what's inside lol. I had two full rolls, hubby wasn't that hungry so he went with 2 half rolls. Love that they have an option on half rolls. I ordered the lobster roll and the wow roll. The lobster roll is the one that really wowed me! The roll is fried! Oh my! I've never experienced that, it was soooo good!!! Scrumptious!!! The wow roll was really good too. I love how they have many different options on their signature rolls. Hubby ordered the kamikaze 1/2 roll and the New York 1/2 roll. We were too full for dessert but I can't wait to back again.

    Such a cute and cozy sushi restaurant. Service is fast, restaurant is clean, and most importantly--the food is delicious.

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.

    We recently ordered takeout from Tomo Sushi and tried a variety of dishes. Here's what we ordered:…read more * Miso soup * Salad with ginger dressing * Two orders of gyoza * **Salmon Lover** (5 pcs sushi, 5 pcs sashimi, 1 salmon roll -- I added avocado to the roll) * **Wild Salmon Roll** (crunchy spicy salmon roll topped with three types of tobiko) * Shrimp & steak hibachi with fried rice * Chicken katsu (breaded and fried cutlet with tangy dipping sauce) * Udon noodles * Plus, they included a complimentary hot sushi roll **The highlights:** All of the sushi we ordered was *excellent* -- incredibly fresh, flavorful, and honestly some of the best I've had in a while. I would 100% order the sushi again. I was also told the hibachi and chicken katsu were delicious. **What could be improved:** The fried rice and the udon noodles were the only real letdowns; both needed more sauce or seasoning. Also, when ordering hibachi for takeout, my sister asked for the traditional hibachi sauces but was told they don't provide them. That felt a bit strange since those sauces are typically a standard part of a hibachi meal. The complimentary roll was a kind gesture, but it ended up being something no one wanted, so unfortunately it went to waste. It would be great if they offered a small choice of free items, or perhaps comped one of the appetizers already ordered, just to avoid unnecessary waste. Since this was takeout, I can't comment on service or the dine-in experience. **Price:** For the amount of food we ordered, the total was around $108 -- extremely reasonable. **Overall:** I would definitely recommend Tomo Sushi, especially for their outstanding sushi. With a few tweaks, they could easily become a 5/5 spot. *Note: Not pet-friendly, as there is no outdoor seating.*

    Tomo Sushi is a real hidden gem. Never disappoints. . I would travel across multiple towns to come…read morehere.

The decor is definitely the highlight. The space is beautiful, upscale, and well designed, and it creates the expectation that you are about to have an amazing meal. From the lighting to the layout, it feels like a spot meant for special occasions or business dinners. As for the food, it was fine but nothing memorable. The steak was cooked correctly, but it did not really stand out compared to other steakhouses in the area, especially considering the price point. The sides were decent, but again, nothing that made me want to talk about them afterward or rush back for more. Everything tasted acceptable, just not impressive. Service was polite and professional, but a bit impersonal. The staff did their job, checked in when needed, and made sure everything was running smoothly, but there was no extra attention or warmth that made the experience feel special. It felt very standard for a higher end restaurant. Overall, Insignia is not bad by any means, but it is also not amazing. You are paying more for the atmosphere and appearance than for a standout dining experience. If you want a nice looking place with decent food, it works. If you are looking for a steakhouse that really wows you with flavor or service, this may fall a little short. Three stars feels fair.

When the sushi finally arrived, it was terrible,I've had much better quality at local spots. My main course was just as disappointing, and the dessert looked like it was carelessly thrown onto the plate. Even the bathrooms were dirty, and the servers continued socializing instead of attending to guests. If I could give zero stars, I would. I definitely will not be returning to H2O .I should've gone to Casa Rustica instead.
