9 reviews for Nagoya Sushi
I came here for lunch one day for two main reasons:
1. I go to school near here and
2. I taught English in Nagoya for one year.
The waitress informed me that the owners are Chinese (as seems the trend of Japanese places in this area) and that no one who worked there had ever lived in Nagoya. I took this as a bad sign and expected the sushi/sashimi bento to be average at best.
To my surprise, the sashimi was excellent. They even included a piece of buttery sashimi I had never tried before. I asked the waitress and she said it was white tuna, but I had never had white tuna like this before. Looking up white tuna on the internet now, I see that I was probably served escolar, which, ironically, I could not have legally obtained in Nagoya, due to the gastointestinal distress that can occur from eating too much. Whatever, it was super delicious. I can't get it out of my head.
The rest of the bento was great too (other highlights: salmon sashimi and crispy shumai, ONLY $8.95!) and the decor is quite tasteful. Pleasantly surprised and will be back here on special occasions (Hayashi-ya, a few blocks away, is a better bet for bargain basement Japanese).
Lightning quick! Nagoya is currently at the top of my list for takeout. On one occasion, it was literally 15 minutes from when I called them to when they were at my door, and I don't live nearby.
They're also open relatively late, which is great for when I'm studying and I suddenly realize that I'm starving and I look at the clock and it's 10:30 pm...
Plus, they take credit cards over the phone and keep the number on file! Makes the whole experience totally hassle-free.
I won't rhapsodize about the food; it's pretty good, but if I were inclined to leave my apartment, I'd go somewhere better. However, the chefs are very competent; I've never had anything that didn't taste fresh. And the prices make it very affordable.
Try their (original) Nagoya pizza. It's not what you think - it's actual sushi!
You won't be let down. Guaranteed.
I was in the mood for some Japanese food today and decided to try a local Sushi Japanese restaurant called Nagoya.
I ordered a lunch special called the "lunch bento box" for $8.95 and it came with chicken teriyaki, white rice, 2 shumai, 6 california rolls, a choice of miso soup or salad (I took the salad which was cucumbers,lettuce and french dressing).
The order over the phone said 45 minutes...it arrived in about 30, which was nice since I was pretty hungry.
I liked the rice...a tad sticky, but thats how I like it, so I can grab some and dip it in some soy sauce. The shumai were interesting for a 1st timer like myself. I loved the cali rolls, and as a sushi beginner, I thought they were tasty. I am not a sushi expert, but I do know bad sushi from experience and this was NOT bad, but not spectacular either. But then again they were part of a $9 lunch special...you get what you pay for.
I will order from them again since the menu is just loaded with so many options and specials. Recommend for a cheap lunch or dinner.
Great sushi bar in the neighborhood. I always enjoy their good sushi and excellent attentive service. Never had a problem with them. Always received what I ordered.
Brand new Sushi Restaurant in the busy area of Gravesend has really impressed me. I went here first time last night and it has a great atmosphere. Very trendy inside with cute wooden tables, drapery on the floor to ceiling windows and a waterfall that flows down the window as you walk in. They have a private room if you want to eat on pillows and in your own private hut and they also have a nice sized sushi bar. This place was very busy and they only had one waitress which meant the service was not the best, but hey its new and it will work out the kinks.
The miso soup was served in ceramic bowls with ceramic spoon, so very good. Not too salty and flavored to perfection. The seaweed salad also was very good, again not to salty. The sushi was fresh, warm and huge. We ordered some special rolls which were very tasty and the spider roll was crunchy and right out of the oven tasting. I love that.
Down side is they do not have a liquor license yet, which we didn't know so I was not able to get Sake, but BYOB isn't so bad especially in NY. Next time I will BYOB and enjoy my experience even better. The sushi is very reasonable too, all rolls are 2.50 and the special rolls average around 8.00 per roll. The shumai were very good too and the bento box gives you a lot of food for the price. The sticky rice was amazing...I love sticky rice.
So head on over to this trendy new spot but just BYOB and give if its busy expect to wait a bit or two.
On occasion, I trek to Kings Hwy to see my huny to fulfill my duties of being a good luva'. The food options is limited to a few Russian restaurant's, a McDonald's and some take out places. We were both ecstatic when Nagoya opened up because it's the only sushi place near my huny's crib.
It's become our default choice when we are too lazy to go to the city to eat. The decor is not so bad and the service is efficient and polite. There has been times when they forget an order or else don't refill our tea or water until we ask them to. It's actually a Chinese owned restaurant but the food isn't bad for the price. How can anyone complain about 1/2 priced sushi/sashimi?
We've gone here several times and have tried a lot of their rolls, salads and appetizers. There was one time when the spicy tuna roll tasted a bit off but the overall quality is good. Their Nabeyaki & Seafood Udons are HUGE and they are very generous with the seafood.
They have expanded their menu and added some very interesting items that we tried. Like I said, it's become a reliable place for my huny and I to go to when we're craving sushi.
It's the best sushi place in the area, and the prices are great.
Great addition to Kings Highway. The sushi/sashimi is very inexpensive ($1 for one piece of sashimi), but the quality wasn't so great. I found the cooked food better. The bento box for dinner is a great deal ($15 for your choice of chicken/beef/pork teriyaki or katsu plus soup, salad, shumai, shrimp & veg tempura, california roll and rice).
