Sushi Spots in Nassau County To Try This Summer
Today, sushi's popularity has grown so much that it's a favorite for date nights or gatherings. Our real estate agents love how many fantastic restaurants there are on Long Island. Check out these first-rate restaurants around Nassau County.
- Koiso Japanese Restaurant - 540 Westbury Ave., Carle Place, NY 11514
When it comes to serving seafood, being close to a waterfront is a definite advantage. Koiso Japanese Restaurant sources its seafood from the fishing community of Freeport. If someone in your group isn't a sushi fan, Koiso gets high marks for their gyoza and ramen. Get happy hour pricing on selected a la carte items and combos from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on weekdays. Hours are noon - 9:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, noon - 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 1 p.m. - 9 p.m. Sunday. - Hana - 14 Haven Ave., Port Washington, NY 11050
While the phrase "farm to table" doesn't usually bring sushi to mind, the concept certainly could refer to Hana. The traditional Japanese restaurant sources products from the iconic Tsukiji Market in Tokyo, along with its NYC equivalent, Fulton Fish Market. In addition, organic produce is purchased from local farmers' markets. Hana specializes in omakase, which translates to "I'll leave it up to you." Omakase is a chef's-choice presentation that allows diners to sample a variety of sushi. Hours are noon - 9:30 daily except Friday and Saturday when doors close at 10:30 p.m. - Sushi Ko - 2063 Merrick Rd., Merrick, NY 11566
When Hollywood producers told James, owner of Sushi Ko, that he should be in movies, they were actually referring to his food. Chef James made a featured appearance preparing a plate of his photogenic sushi for Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker to share in the rom-com Failure to Launch. Fortunately, you don't need to be a movie star to enjoy Chef James' contemporary take on classic sushi. Sushi Ko is open 11:30 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. - 10 p.m. Friday, 1 p.m. - 10 p.m. Saturday, and 2 p.m. - 9 p.m. Sunday. - Kirazu Sushi - 107 Stewart Ave., Hicksville, NY 11891
Kirazu Sushi showcases not one but two iconic Japanese cuisine styles. In addition to a sushi bar, the restaurant features a hibachi grill where chefs prepare chicken, shrimp, salmon, beef, vegetables, and fried rice. One delighted customer asked the sushi chef for a customized roll and the result, the eponymous Riana roll, is now a permanent offering. One tip: warm up your vocal cords, as karaoke is also on the menu. Kirazu Sushi is open 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, 11 a.m. - 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and noon - 9:30 p.m. Sunday. - Shoshaku - 68 Middle Neck Rd., Great Neck, NY 11021
Not far from Great Neck homes for sale, two distinct culinary cultures meet at Shoshaku. The first is Japanese, represented by an extensive menu of sushi, sashimi, teriyaki, and katsu. Other Asian favorites such as edamame, gyoza, and karaage are served as tapas, the Spanish small-plates dining style. Paying in cash is so 20th-century, but it's still in style at Shoshaku, where it earns you a 10 percent discount. Shoshaku is open from 11:30 a.m. - 9 p.m. daily except Friday and Saturday when hours are extended to 10 p.m.
Sushi also makes a great carry-out meal to enjoy in your new Nassau County home. Contact us for help with all your real estate needs.
