Came here twice in the last 10 days. First time, on Saturday night, the place was packed. No complaints about service. I had Shrimp Tempura Udon soup ($12) and my hubby had three rolls. I liked that they put the tempura on the side, so it doesn't get soggy. 2nd time was during the week and we were waited on by a very interesting server. He approached us by asking us "how may we quench your thirst?", then while taking order, he asked "what will you have, my lady?". And for the rest of the night, he kept addressing us as "My lady". He could have been the Prince Lancelot of Japanese restaurants. He was amusing.
Food is okay, price is reasonable. The only con is that the bus boys are a little too eager to clear your plates. Its like the minute you put your chopsticks down, they take your plate away….. hey I wasn't really finished…..but too late.
Very pricey but just average quality sushi and shasimi. The service is average as it's rather slow and inattentive yet very impersonal. It's just a job to the wait staff, nothing more and nothing less.
Another mediocre sushi spot near my office, it's my last choice for when the craving hits. I like the fact that they deliver, but the lunch rolls are tiny. I can tell the fish is fresh, but it's kind of tasteless – maybe it's the way they store it? Regardless, there's nothing special about this place and I don't understand why they charge so much.
I love this place! I come here for casual dining with my friends or for family functions. The Hibachi Chefs are so interactive and in my opinion, the best I have seen on Long Island.
The staff is friendly, service is quick and the owners are so sweet. I feel like home here! They are always offering us free Sake and drinks.
Their seasoning in their rice, fish and meat is something special…different from most places. The dish you have to try is the Tomy Tropical Fried Rice. It has chicken, shrimp and fresh pineapple topped with cashews inside an actual pineapple!
The Quick: Classic go to sushi spot in the cute "Main Street" area of town, nothing outstanding but always good food. Solid 3.5 stars.
The Details: I've been going to sushi ya for years, it was the original sushi restaurant in the area, here before the "sushi craze" caught on. The food is always good, the owners are extremely friendly, and the location is great. The venue is nothing extravagant or special, and the food is pricey, but there's something to be said about being the first restaurant of its kind. The sushi is always good and the lunch special is very reasonable. Nothing extraordinary, but I always return every once in a while.
The Damage: A little pricey especially for the fancy rolls, which is to expected for sushi. I like to go for the lunch specials.
After having a yen for sushi yesterday but feeling too tired to drive to Kotobuki in Roslyn, which is my favorite sushi restaurant in Nassau County and because the sushi places in my immediate area are mediocre at best, I decided to try Sushi Ya due to excellent reviews both from customers and critics. After checking the menu online, I decided to order a Sushi and Sashimi Deluxe Combo and a Chicken Negimaki entree. I called Sushi Ya and got a good first impression of the service as the gentleman who took my order was friendly, courteous, and attentive to my needs. He stated that my order would take 10-15 minutes to prepare, so I made the quick 10 minute drive to Garden City and was easily able to find street parking along Franklin Avenue (there are also village lots). When I walked inside, I found Sushi Ya to be clean and modern looking, with regular tables towards the front of the restaurant along with two hibachi tables if I'm not mistaken. The host stand was in the back near another entrance and I found Kate, the hostess at the time, to be very friendly and welcoming. She had my order ready and it came out to $24 for the sashimi and sushi platter and $16 for the Chicken Negimaki entrée, which despite the slightly smaller portion size than Kotobuki, was in line with other Japanese restaurants in the area. When I got home, I found everything to be delicious. I first tried the Sushi and Sashimi Deluxe Combo, which contained satiny and buttery Salmon in in nigiri and sashimi form, moist and meaty tuna in nigiri and roll form, two pieces of tender and not chewy octopus, mild and flaky yellowtail, and sweet and mild fluke. After enjoying the delicious sushi, I found the Chicken Negimaki, which I split for two meals due to the relatively large portion size and the fact that I ate the sushi first to have tender and juicy chicken with savory scallions tucked in the center and a sweet and salty teriyaki sauce surrounding it. The Chicken Negimaki was also accompanied by various vegetables, which included a sweet carrot, two crisp heads of broccoli, a dollop of sweet mashed sweet potato, and a dollop of earthy and creamy mashed potatoes. My meal also came with a salad, which had crisp lettuce and a tangy miso dressing, making for a wonderful accompaniment to my meal. Based on this meal, I would definitely add Sushi Ya as a top pick for sushi in Nassau County and it is nice to have a good option for sushi that is closer to home to satisfy my cravings for Japanese.
