Best Japanese Speciality Restaurants in Maspeth

The staff was so kind and they made you feel at home. The chefs were knowledgeable of the menu and they were fun to talk to the whole night

This was the second time we’ve come to Wano for our Anniversary dinner. We were greeted by the host who said immediately said happy anniversary and sat us at our table. Our server was great, we got the Omakase for both of us. It was delicious! Course after course of fresh sashimi and sushi along with some cooked items like two different soups, two different courses on unagi (eel for those that don’t know), and anniversary glass of sparkling wine for my wife and an extra glass of sake for me and then dessert which was house made mango sorbet along with more sake! The last sake was Yuzu infuse and tasted like fresh citrus that was so flavorful I could have had a whole bottle! Thank you to the staff and chef at Wano, we had an incredible meal!

Always delicious. First time coming with kids and the girls loves it - can’t go wrong at Nami Nori. Everything is absolutely delicious

This is one of my favorite restaurants. Delicious sushi with some Thai influences. Intimate setting. The chefs prepare the meal in front of you, they have a great sense of humor. They refill your sake continuously through the night. They are so welcoming and so clearly enjoy what they do! You leave feeling full but not uncomfortably so. It is a great value.

3rd visit and again, the Chef surprised us with great new dishes. An exceptional omakase experience and it has become our #2 favorite. It is still a little unknown gem on the UES, but it is better than many of the known names in th area: yes, we have frequented them all. In the meantime, BYOB, book a seat at the bar, enjoy the company of the other guests, and let the chef take you on a delicious tasting journey.
