Amazing sushi for Queens. This place would charge wayyyy more if it were in the city.
Enjoyed the edamame and seaweed salad. The three musketeer combo is large for its price. The spicy girl roll and met roll were delicious. The met roll was freshly fried. Everything was tasty and pleasantly portioned.
I got delivery from here the other day. The sushi was good. I got a cali roll, a special roll and then a futo roll. All were ok but the cost was $18. I liked it but didn't think it was worth that much.
I will try some other rolls and report back. Delivery was on time 🙂
A decent place for Japanese fast food. The rice tastes good, the tempura is crispy, and the chicken teriyaki is tender and juicy. It is also pretty clean inside.
Was desperate for a sushi night after months of not having it — especially worse when we found out our usual spot no longer delivered to our location!!! — and we decided to try this place. I'm always weary of new sushi spots because freshness is important with raw fish.
Other than the sashimi prices being kind of expensive, and not as big as I had hoped/.expected, it was a win!
first off — super fast delivery. I ordered a little before 5:30 and it arrived before 6pm….on a cold and rainy night no less. My husband said the delivery guy was soaking wet because he rode on a bike. And the man wasn't rude or anything which is surprising because I've had some rude delivery men acting as if they were doing a huge burden filled task by bringing us our food.
Breakdown of the order:
Miso soup — standard, warm, and tasty
tuna avocado rolls — my favorite are salmon avocado rolls but these are my second favorite. And I was amazed when i saw them! Perfectly rolled, very vibrant hearty green chunks of fresh avocado, and gorgeous color of the tuna. I don't think I've ever seen tuna that bright before and I felt more inclined to eat it haha
shrimp tempura roll — very good. Loved the flavor and crispness. Done well
Gyoza- pan fried. Didn't have much flavor at all, so wouldn't get it again
General Tso's chicken — was amazed at how tender the chicken was, and how large the chunks actually were. At other Chinese takeout shops, the chicken is tough, old, dry, but deeply fried with batter, so that's all you are really eating. With this chicken, it was actual chicken, with some light breading/batter and sauce.
We definitely want to try more things on the menu, but we were so hungry, we ordered things were were familiar with.
My go to place for hand rolls and teriyaki bento box. I've never been there in person so I always get delivery. I love their delivery service, always very fast and on time. Can't complain.
I sooo wanted to like East 21 because the location and prices were soo attractive. Alas, I couldn't.
Yes, the service is friendly and so fast that it seemed like the sushi practically flew out from behind the counter BUT.. the flavors were okay, the fish wasn't as fresh as it could've been… and it made me sick. 🙁
It's a small…more like tiny…takeout place that has Chinese food and maki rolls, sushi, bento boxes, teriyaki plates and even pad thai. Okay…usually these type of places, I don't like. Most of these type of places have a lot of different type of Asian food but none of it is any good. Well….this tiny little East 21 Boy I have to say at least gets their maki rolls to taste yummy.
Let's first establish…I am not a sushi snot. Sometimes I just get cravings for maki rolls even though I am not a huge Japanese food fan. So here steps in East 21 Boy. Here are some reasones why I like East 21 Boy so much:
1. It's conveniently located by the main Jackson Heights train station. So when I am on the way home I stop by East 21 Boy before I step onto the bus…which as far as convenience goes, it's awesome. 2. Their prices are not too expensive. Which makes sense for the type of place it is, it's a Chinese takeout place. 3. It's fast. 4. I can get pseudo American Japanese food and pseudo American Chinese food in one place. Which could have not worked, but so far…so good at East 21 Boy. I have yet to try more of their menu so all I can comment on is their maki rolls. 5. I have never gotten sick here. All the fish in the maki rolls always were very fresh. The tuna, salmon, et al was always fine. Very delicious, very fresh always…good reason to return. 6. They even have lunch specials on Saturday which I would take the bus just to get it. Hey, what can I say. I like it. 3 maki roll lunch special until 4 pm Monday to Saturday is $9 and it comes with a your choice of miso soup, salad or soda or there is a 2 maki roll lunch special for $7.75…but for the $1.25 difference, I always pick the 3 rolls. They also have bento lunch box specials.
Those are all the reasons why I love this place and have been returning again and again.
