Food is amazing, service is delightful and a perfect place for a romantic date or a quick bite to eat

Excellent Japanese restaurant in Hewlett & a branch in Merrick, both are extremely nicely decorated, with excellent Sushi, snd other Japanese food. You are never disappointed here, as they really know how to please a customer. I highly recommend these 2 restaurants. Either of the two are extremely good, and excellent choices. Enjoy! read more

Everything was very fresh even after it was delivered to our house and we had ti delay our dinner at home by an hour plus everything wad still fresh. Ask the roofs tasted good, the kani salad wasn't drenched in mayo like most are and that was a pleasant change since I'm trying to eat healthy. We ordered ask special rolls the prices could be cheaper but it's quality sushi and good product do we didn't care. I think this will be our sushi spot from now on. read more

First time here at Xaga tonight. Easy to miss, but really a gem in the area. The menu was pretty impressive so there's easily plenty to choose from. The host promptly seated my group of three and the decor was better than I expected. I can't speak on many of the drinks but we did order a Scorpion Bowl and the presentation was enough to make me come back. The food was prompt and delicious. Overall good experience. My only con though: The waitress completely disregarded one person's drink order the first time around. She seemed to be rushing us and then even handed us the bill barely halfway through the meal. I get the business is closing soon for the night, but as a server (or even a business), ending on a good note is crucial with your guests. We didn't plan on sticking around all night, but we wanted to at least enjoy the rest of our food without feeling like we have no option but to box up the rest or stuff it down our throats. Would have been 4 stars if not for that. Also, the music didn't seem to fit the atmosphere. Not a deal-breaker... But it just threw me off a bit. read more

I am a sushi lover, but I recently lost all hope in enjoying sushi when I went from being a pescatarian, to a complete vegetarian. Today, the hubs and I decided to give this place a shot, as they appeared to have a very significant vegetarian section. We couldn't have been happier! The service was outstanding--including the comfort and reliability they gave us in assuring us that our meals were "seafood" free (seafood allergy). I know it's a bit ridiculous to ask at a sushi restaurant, but they didn't for a second make it seem like an issue, and even went through the menu to explain which ingredients were cross-contaminated. The allergy was even typed on the bill! Aside from that, the vibe of the place was very relaxing; the waitresses were very friendly, and gave top notch service; and all of the food was delicious. It completely changed our worlds, and we'll definitely be returning to enjoy some vegetarian sushi! Excellent excellent excellent!!!! read more

My wife and I took my cousin and her husband to Xaga. They didn't disappointed us! When we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the manager. We were seated immediately and the menu is very impressive. We ended up ordering 3 appetizers, 3 special rolls and from the kitchen Chilean sea bass with black bean sauce & Ginger duck. Appetizers we got the black pepper tuna tataki, spicy tuna cracker & tuna flower, the ingredients and flavors are unlike any other sushi place I've been to! My wife & I have been to many sushi places and Xaga is always "the best". All of the rolls ( Soho roll, Naruto roll, rainbow roll ) and from the kitchen we ordered were excellent. The service was excellent as well. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend Xaga sushi.. read more

I LOVE Xaga! I don't know who wouldn't. When I lived in the area I always ordered delivery from here and they always came super quick. They are constantly updating the menu and fit in with the latest sushi trends (crispy rice) and have such a variety on the menu. Their sushi is as fresh as it gets, you can really taste the quality in the fish. It ALWAYS tastes fresh no matter when I go, I have never had a problem with Xaga. The staff is accommodating and the food comes quick. The atmosphere inside is often very lively. read more

An excellent sush restaurant that never disappoints. The food is simple and delicious. We are here almost every Friday.

Outstanding food. I had the miso soup, pepper tuna Pataki and then ginger duck. All were very tasty. Staff was very attentive and right there with refills and to see if I needed anything. Will return for sure. read more

Xaga - The ginger duck was very good! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Hewlett, New York

The sushi at this place is really good and fresh. I liked how clean the restaurant was and everyone who worked there (a lot of staff) was extremely nice and accommodating. It's bigger than it looks from the outside and even though there are a lot of tables, it has an open and modern feel. Service was quick and plates were cleanly presented. Tables cleared promptly, drinks refilled, total attention to the customer. Overall I liked the food a lot and I'm picky about sushi. I don't think I'd get the shumai again. They tasted okay, but were really burning hot inside and a little cold outside. My salmon roll was top notch. The nori they use here is a little on the firm side, so if you like to eat your maki in two bites, you're a little out of luck. Maybe it's just me :) Definitely recommend the saba. All in all a really nice experience and I'll be back. Only downside is some of the clientele. I don't get people who are brash and rude to the service staff. "Get me some sauce." Really? Also, couple #2, I shouldn't be able to hear you chewing from across the room in a crowded restaurant, ffs. And then there was the girl who sneezed on the pass on her way to the bathroom. Hopefully the sushi on order was for the rude couple. read more

Food is passable but the one lady at the cash register (not sure if she a manager or owner) is very rude and argumentative. She tried to refuse the first online order discount saying she had me on record as having already used it. Uh no. How would I have already used it if I had never been to the restaurant before? She was so nasty and combative implying that I was a liar. Stupid witch. I subsequently went there 2 more times to dine in with friends and the food was ok but not remarkable. Nothing to write home about. And it's lame how they don't open until 1 pm for lunch. C'mon now. Most places open by 11:30 but at 12 latest. What the heck is 1 pm?! I recommend that people go to XO Sushi on Broadway in Woodmere instead where you are treated like a valued customer unlike at this place. read more

Xaga - Sushi and sashimi dinner - Sushi Bars Near Me - Hewlett, New York

I'm in town for 5 days and have ordered from here 3 times during my stay as they are in close proximity to my families house. I have never been so insulted and disappointed by a restaurant before. The first order was fine, but was I glad though that we were not dining in as they were blasting obnoxious pop hits in the bar There was no where to sit to wait for our food and we were not offered water for our long wait. The second night I learned to stay away from the shrimp tempura roll as there was nothing in it but rice and shrimp tempura. The Miso soup had a weird alcohol flavor to it. Their house salad is just lettuce and dressing. Tonight was the kicker though. I ordered my now usual salmon and masago sashimi. This has been consistently good. Fresh, not fishy, delightful. However I also ordered the chicken teriyaki for my daughter. This was NOT chicken teriyaki, It simply was not. It was chicken and garlic sauce and they forgot my salad. I had my mother return and they tried to convince her by showing her another order that it was chicken teriyaki. This muddled clear garlic sauce with snap peas and broccoli could not pass for teriyaki to even a first time Japanese diner. Then I was subtly accused of lying about missing my measly pathetic salad. I do not know where all these stars come from but beware. They did not offer anything for the inconvience of having to return and threw out the returned dish in front of my mother, they simply could have sent her home with it as a minimal consolation for the poor service as a THIRD time customer in 3 days. They told her "well she didn't pay for it." We had the pad thai instead. Well what was supposed to be pad thai. I will not be returning on my next visit, but I'm sure you guessed that by now. read more

Xaga - Bento Box!! Yum! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Hewlett, New York

Came here with a friend for lunch. Did not wind up going with the lunch special (2 rolls for $9, 3 rolls for $12- comes with miso soup and a salad). Instead, I ordered a volcano roll and a sweet potato roll, which amounted to being ~$20 with tax and tip. Food was fresh, service was prompt. Ambiance is nothing special- tables are relatively close to one another to maximize seating capacity, but, as a result, you can hear other people's conversations nearby. Wish it was a little less pricey (the special rolls are not included in the lunch special). read more

Great sushi, prices are reasonable. Love their red bean and green tea ice cream. Service was excellent. read more

I have been eating here since it opened but will no longer. Several weeks ago we ordered take out and when we sat down to eat we found human hair in our soup after we started to eat it. We called manager and she said we will credit soup. Well this never happened. She should have comped the entire meal. The manger lied about credit and sounded like she did not believe us. This is poor customer service and I would not recommend eating here unless you like hair in your food read more

I had dinner at zxaga this evening with my family and the 3 enters we ordered were excellent. As we left and had begun driving away, a waiter came running after our car waving the gloves I had inadvertently left. That was beyond what anyone could expect. Thank you zxaga for a wonderful dinner and kindness. read more

I drive by this place all the time and finally decided to try it out. Friendly and attentive staff, fresh sushi, quick service and good atmosphere. Great location with a large parking lot. I will definitely be coming back soon! read more

Love their sushi choices and bento boxes always a great goto. I also like the different combos they offer to mix match

Great, fresh sushi. I typically do takeout, bc I hate the service at the restaurant. So rude and inattentive...might just be cultural differences, but it was off putting enough to make me not want to return to dine in The have an awesome lunch special: $12 for 3 rolls of sushi, a house salad, and miso soup...available on weekdays before 3pm read more

We sampled four different sushi rolls, various sushi pieces, and two hot appetizers - the duck roll and the chicken lettuce cups. All the sushi was very good and fresh tasting, the best of them being the salmon belly, which was melt-in-your-mouth tender. The chicken lettuce cups were not particularly interesting flavorwise, but were at least easy to eat - the lettuce was nice and firm, and the chicken was not too wet. I thought the duck rolls - which were similar to egg rolls in style - were the best. These were served super hot, crispy, and had a great balance between the duck and the other ingredients in the filling. All in all a good meal, but short of what I could rate as a four star. read more

Xaga is the most amazing restaurant. Their food is extremely delicious, hot and fast. I have dined in and ordered in probably a thousand times. I have never had a bad meal here. The sushi is as fresh as it can possibly get. Their rock shrimp, spring rolls and calamari is out of this world. Everything on the menu is just AMAZING. Just ordered for a delivery... It came in 10 mins and everything was super hot and delicious. read more

This our weekend spot for sure, great service, the best sushi around here and Christine the manager is amazing!

We order from here almost once a week for take out. It is worth it. I think the pink sandwich is the best roll, but you will have to decide for yourself. read more

It's not my first time here. Nice place, good drinks, modern decor, great food. I will recommend this place for a lunch or dinner. Staff can be a little bit unwelcoming, but it varies. read more

This restaurant used to be amazing. NOW the food quality of food I get is very inconsistent. One night it's great, but more often then not it either is done super sloppy with random portion sizes or a really off taste. read more

Great hot n sour soup. Good sushi lunch specials. Take out regularly from here. have eaten in there a handful of times. try to avoid the hs crowd so i come after 1:30 during week. wait staff has been good most times. but the last time the waitress was gone once the food was dropped at table. no refill on tea either. and it was pretty quiet. read more

I have to admit, Xaga was simply phenomenal. They have great selection of items with reasonable prices for what u get. Me and my friend were pleasantly surprised with how good their Spicy Tuna Cracker was, simply delicious. Not to mention, the service was fantastic and the staff was super polite. Great experience and the staff was great! read more

I am a big fan of sushi. I've tried many different restaurants, but Xaga is on top of my list. They never disappoint. The sushi rolls are always beautiful, the fish is fresh and the hot dishes are perfectly seasoned and nicely presented. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

This is my go-to local sushi place. They've got some nice special rolls, but I usually go for a more basic salmon or tuna avocado roll. But they are so generous with the fillings on all of their rolls, it's never disappointing. read more

Service is really quick. Ordered takeout and they were done within 10 mins. Would recommend to everyone

This place is terrible. I came here for dinner the other day because I heard I.T was good and was cheap. I ordered a Kani salad (tasted like blander cardboard) and two rolls (tuna and spicy tuna). The rolls were veryyyy mediocre quality. The tuna roll was fishy, while the spicy tuna roll was alright but anything would taste good after the first roll. Then when I got my check I.T was almost 40$ (she included tip) for just that and when I said I.T was wrong the waiter pointed out that the tip was included. Then when my friend asked about the check too the waitress said "you ate all the food maybe u should lose some weight". So many other better Japanese restaurants close by, wouldn't waste another meal here. read more

The food and the sushi is mediocre. The food isn't worth the price. 2 rolls and a miso soup for 25$. The service is pretty good but the staff aren't so friendly. They have a lot of staff though. Not the best food but it's doable. read more

It's not my first time here but it's my first time reviewing it and I was not to found of my the bartender. Food was pretty good but he's attitude was a bit off.

It's a really small cramped venue. However the place is neat and clean. Service was quick, attentive, and good. The sushi was great! The rolls were reasonably priced, good portions, and made from fresh ingredients. They have an extensive, varied menu of sushi rolls. The gyoza had a nice sear on the outside with flavorful juicy meat inside. I was very satisfied with my dining experience. I would definitely come again. Parking is in the back. read more
