Xaga Sushi never disappoints--every single visit has been a consistently great experience! The food is outstanding: fresh, flavorful sushi with generous portions, creative rolls, and everything tastes made with real care. Whether it's classic nigiri or one of their signature fusion specials, it's always spot-on and delicious. The service is genuinely good too--attentive without being overbearing, friendly staff who make you feel welcome right away. The vibe is modern and comfortable, perfect for a casual dinner or date night. Hands down one of my go-to spots on Long Island. I'll definitely be back (probably sooner than I should admit ). Highly recommend! read more

Great spot for sushi! The service is friendly and fast. The presentation is eye catching. The fish is fresh and buttery. Pro tip: AYCE + omakase is no longer offered. Huge fans of their sister restaurant Fyhre so I was expecting only the best-- and it was! read more

Xaga Sushi - Sushi Dinner for 2 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Merrick, New York

Dropped in for dinner on Saturday. Everything was consistently good. For years, Xaga has been consistently good, and that's a great thing. When dining in, it's a good opportunity to try some new things, the aged tofu app was delicious and came out super hot and crispy. Pace of meal was nice, sushi and sashimi were delicious as usual. read more

I hate ordering all at once.. my husband and I were sat upstairs and by the time we got a server, it was obvious they just wanted the entire order at once. They didn't have all the beer options on the menu which is fine. Then the gnat landed near my husbands plate. He sat there swatting his meal the whole time he ate in case more came around. I sat there staring at his plate while I ate waiting for the same. I thought he may have been just bugging cause I didn't see any more gnats. Until the fly came by his head... I had sushi which was fresh but will not be coming back... oh the lights are WAY too bright lol but then again we were on the top floor closest to the lights and it helped to see the gnat lol read more

The Food and service is fine , but the staff it seems like they are allergic to smiling. They seem miserable ‍

Wow. My wife and I have gone to Xaga now 3 times for their all you can eat and Omakase. Everything is fantastic. Some of the freshest fish I have ever had. On the omakase, there was one piece that we bot absolutely loved. The waitress was good enough to figure out which piece it was by the placement on the plate. We didn't make it easy. It was mackerel and it was wonderful. I didn't think there was anything that wasn't delicious on the menu. The restaurant is bigger than you think with an upstairs that I have never seen used. For $50, you get a fantastic meal. read more

One of the best sushi restaurants I have eaten in. The rolls are big and filled with fish rather than a ton of rice. The staff is accommodating and friendly. The restaurant is extremely clean. read more

I came here on a Friday night with my husband, mum, and baby, it wasn't super busy, but there was a small crowd on the first floor. First thing I noticed is that this place is NOT stroller/wheelchair friendly - to get into the restaurant there are steps, to get to the bathroom, there are steps, and the tables are quite close together so any strollers or wheelchairs would be in the way. The food, however, was just delish! We ordered the hot and sour soup (I don't recommend this) to start, along with the spicy Naruto cucumber roll, which was absolutely fantastic! So great for anyone looking for a low carb option. For mains, we ordered Thai curry, the double delight, and shrimp fried rice. The double delight was absolutely phenomenal! The fish was cooked perfectly, and so was the shrimp - the sauce was sweet with a very small kick, and complimented the dish so so well! The fried rice was my fave - they truly put magic in this, it was so simple but soooo delicious!!!!! The Thai curry was so so, admittedly it wasn't much of a Thai curry, it tasted more like they used a curry powder instead of a traditional Thai curry paste. Still not terrible though! Overall ok experience, but the food was great, so I'd certainly order from here again, but most likely to enjoy at home as opposed to coming in person! read more

This is one of the few options, I rarely choose from Instagram reels to visit. It looked promising and a bargain to die for. Whilst the food was good, it was still mediocre. You can find better tasting bites along with sushi bargains elsewhere, as there are plenty in NYC and LI. In addition, the service wasn't impressive. If you're known for a certain special or marketing scheme to bring customers in, present that promotion as soon as they sit down. I had to ask for the special menu. We circled what we wanted for the sushi platter but they bring out everything at once but do not tell you what is what. The presentation is beautiful, yes but not presenting it well equals to the same, nothing. After going over the order, we found sushi that we did order, not on the platter or not brought out at all or even planned to. Secondly, sitting in the dining area , closer to the sushi back bar, you can smell when the toilet is flushed (by the smell of urine coming through the ceiling vents). While the ambiance is nice, food is okay, and promotion is superb; I probably won't dine in again. read more

Enjoyed a lovely dinner with friends last night. Food was very good as was the service. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. My friend also had the shrimp dumpling soup which she said was delicious. Parking is ample. read more

**GROUPON USERS BEWARE!!!** I had a Groupon for this place that was valued for $50 worth of sushi and drinks. When I went to redeem my Groupon, my waitress said that my total was $49.27, and therefore I cannot redeem my Groupon. I then ordered a Philadelphia Roll which cost $6.00, which would now bring my total to $55.27, which should allow me to use my Groupon. The waitress comes back to the table saying I MUST order $10 worth of additional food in order to use the Groupon. That doesn't even make sense as that would now bring my total to $59.27. I was forced and coerced into spending more money than I had to...which left a very bad taste in my mouth. I will say though, the food was tasty. The rolls tasted very fresh, and had great flavor. My boyfriend and I ordered the lover roll, the Mexican roll, salmon avocado, spicy salmon, Philadelphia roll and pork gyoza. The Lover Roll and the spicy salmon roll were absolutely delicious. The gyoza was great. Lightly pan fried to perfection with wonderful flavor. It was very cold inside. I had goosebumps throughout my entire meal. Everything was fine until the whole Groupon situation. I am on the fence if I would return. read more

I went to Xaga last night and ordered the Sushi & Sashimi dinner for two. My son and I were not impressed. I also ordered the duck fried rice. Also not impressed. My son ordered the fantastic roll. He liked it. Note that he did not love it. I heard good things about Xaga from my Moms Groups on FB. Perhaps Xaga had an off night last night. Even the Diet Coke was flat. I paid for an expensive dinner and left 18% gratuity. The experience wasn't good. I can't even say whether the waitresses/servers were nice or not. They took our order, delivered the food and it took a while to flag one of them to get our check. They didn't come by to see if everything was okay. I had to ask for water for my son and I to drink. As someone who worked in food & beverage, I left the standard tip because I know they depend on it. However, I don't believe it was well-deserved. Like I said, took order, delivered, disappeared and didn't check if we were satisfied with our order. Speaking of, the dinner for two did not satisfy. I may give Xaga another chance to redeem themselves. There has to be a reason why they were recommended by the moms of my FB group! read more

Ok. So I've lived in this neighborhood for years, love sushi, but never went here before. Boy, was I missing out. If it wasn't for the Groupon, we may not have gone at all, and now we will keep going back. We ordered like it was our last meal: Crispy Duck Roll - Yum! Kani Salad - Missing some spice, but really fresh Dynamic Roll - Lobster with salmon and spicy mayo on top - hubby liked it Shrimp avocado roll - Creamy Avocado, fresh shrimp Mango Roll - beautifully presented and really good White Tuna, Avocado Roll - fresh and creamy Eggplant and Tofu - more deep fried tofu than eggplant. Not enough spice, but really good Duck Udon - crispy duck meat in perfectly cooked noodles Shrimp Pad Thai - sweet, not spicy. We asked for some sort of spicy sauce and the sriracha helped. Still not what we're used to, but good. Shrimp were huge and tasty Overall, really good. We'll be back for sure. read more

So I very frequently order my sushi to go from this location. I live close in the area and sometimes I just want to take it to go. You cannot go wrong with the sushi here I am not a true lover of some of the other meals that they offer however, if your goal is to get some nice fresh raw sushi, this is definitely the place to go. My favorite are the spicy yellowtail sushi roll and I just add some scallions and poof, perfection! Service is always good, friendly, and timely. Since I never dine in I'm not sure what the ambiance is like but from the quick glances I've stolen it seems pretty nice. read more

Weak. Crispy duck rolls weren't crispy. Server took forever to get our drink orders and kept walking right past the table and ignoring us. Japanese people all know that spicy rolls are where they put the old fish to mask the flavor. This place has 16 of 30 rolls that are spicy! The $55 sushi for two has no salmon roe, no urchin, no omelet, no flying fish roe, no eel... you get the idea. Very uninspired. The only high points are the calamari and the cold sake selection. Decor is overly brightly lit and not particularly attractive. We won't be back. read more

The food and the staff are great. I highly recommend Xaga. I absolutely love the chicken lettuce wraps.

I ordered this for my boyfriend as a surprise for his birthday. Being out of the country and knowing he loves a good sushi I decided to give them a try. I pre ordered the meal for a specific delivery time and I was pleasantly surprised with the on time delivery. He was surprised with the presentation and he really enjoyed his meal. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Never disappointed with this place. Sometimes there's a wait to sit on a busy night but the food is always amazing. We ordered take out because I was working and they brought right to my job. The always package the food well and when we tell them how to separate it per person when they package it. It's always perfect. Over the years they've only messed up once or twice and they are willing to fix any of there mistakes. read more

These places are all starting to look like a chain restaurant. Same exact menus just make sure you name one of the sushi rolls after your neighborhood ie Merrick location has to have a Merrick roll. Don't forget the crazy roll and sexy girl roll. The difference with this place is the funky 2 story retro 70's decor. Not sure what this building was for before Xaga. Food is ok and the portions are large. I had a salmon bento box, the salmon had some kind of sweet gooey stuff on top, not very appetizing. The one thing that really bugged me is when I ordered the sake the waitress opens the bottle and pours it into a carafe. I didn't realize until after she poured it there were cucumber slices in the carafe. This was not a house sake, it was a good bottle of sake and she just ruined the flavor. It's like ordering a bottle of Chianti and pouring it into a carafe with cut up apples and oranges. They have a Happy hour until 6:30 and it was crowded on a Thursday night. If you live nearby I guess it's ok but not worth a trip. read more

I've heard great things about this place however my experience wasn't great. As soon as we walked in we were given a attitude. The waitress barely talk to us and gave us an attitude. The place looked as if I needed to be cleaned or updated or both. Food seem promising but it was subpar. Maybe it's different on different days . I remember me and my friend saying to ourselves we hope we don't get sick that's not a great sign. read more

This place is amazing! I don't know how to explain it except it's our favorite sushi place and we've tried many. We keep this as our standard. We love it. From their spicy tuna pizza to their regular rolls. I suggest the spicy yellow tail. Their specialty rolls are amazing. The one that looks like a heart, I can't remember the name, but it's just incredible. Their service is great. They're always very quick to fill a water glass or bring you what you request. Their birthday fried ice cream is, one again, amazing! If you have t been you need to go, guaranteed it will not disapp read more

This was our first time trying out this sushi place as we bought a Groupon deal for this place and it was a great experience. I only noticed that reservation was required to redeem the Groupon right before I left my house to this place, so I called in to make a reservation for 5 people in about 30 minutes. The staff had no problem with that and immediately offered me a reservation confirmation. Upon arrival, my table was ready and they brought a high chair for my 3 years old right away. The menu was nicely printed and included lots of photos for some feature dishes. My 3 years old was able to look at the pictures from the menu and tell me exactly what he wanted. The food was served really quick and hot and they were very delicious! We ordered the chicken lettuce wrap and crispy calamari as appetizers. The chicken was very tasty itself as well as wrapping with the lettuce. The calamari was fried properly and very crispy, but I felt the size was a little bit small (maybe it was the regular portion, but not enough for us because it was too yummy! lol) Then we had about six different sushi rolls, fried rice and duck fried udon! The sushi rolls and fried rice were about the same as other sushi place, but the duck fried udon was a surprise! It was the first time we ordered duck udon as most sushi places did not have this option. The duck (maybe roasted duck?) mixed very well with the udon and it tasted so so so good! Both of my sons loved the duck fried udon more than the fried rice. We had no problem redeeming our Groupon at the end, just showed them the Groupon and they deducted $50 from our bill. It was a pleasure spending our Sunday night at this sushi place. By the way, the interior design is very modern in this place and the overall appearance seems new and clean. The place isn't that big, maybe about 10-15 tables and booth altogether and a bar with about 6-8 chairs. It has plenty parking spots at the back. read more

For those of you who don't know Merrick, we're famous for a few things... Ben and Jerry, Lindsay Lohan, Zack Ryder, and having roughly 20% of Long Island's bagel stores and sushi restaurants. But if you're looking for the cream of the crop, this is it. Consistently the best sushi you'll find anywhere in Nassau County, reasonably priced, and quite the variety. And for those of you who like to dine-in, it's got a cool modern/club vibe going which is nice. read more

Enjoy!! read more

I feel like every sushi place in and around Merrick have the same menu. I mean like when they open, they are told what printer they are allowed to use. Jen S. and I stopped in for dinner one night after running around all day. We were seated and given menus. We started off with the standard sashimi and calamari. Both were fine. We shared a few rolls for dinner. Both were very good. Fresh and flavorful. For dessert, we shared the tiramisu, which was really good. It's a large piece with ice cream and the extras you would expect. Had a good meal. Would go again. read more
