- This place is so good! The sushi is always fresh and delicious. Get the Spider roll, you won't regret it. The Pauline roll is also great and Spicy Crab- off the hook! Do it.Upvoted Feb 13
Stephanie GallisJanuary 26, 2014The Sea color roll was DELISH !!! The Bumble bee roll and Irine roll also two great choices. The Irine roll you get a different filling with each roll because of the multi seafood choices they add.
Some of the finest sushi on the planet and I travel a lot! Great for family, great for a date, but not great to find a mate. @GeorgeSpartanUpvoted Jan 31
Jeanette ChowMay 22, 2017Love Watawa—it's my favorite sushi place in the area & go-to dinner spot. Top picks: the wasabi shumai, garlic or miso Chilean sea bass, Park Avenue roll, Bumble Bee roll, sashimi, and hot sake.
Neal JosephSeptember 4, 2017The fish sourcing is superb. Top quality sashimi - ask about what fish they have that day that are not on the menu (sea bream and jack from Japan today were exceptional).
Amazing place for date night or even casual lunch with friends. Lunch specials are amazing. Love the sushi entrees, so much food!!
DailyCandyFebruary 14, 2014Don’t let the electronic music and LCD lights distract you. Instead, focus on inventive rolls like the Wasabi (bursting with four types of caviar) and the Humble Bee (topped with mango).
Kathleen VargasMay 11, 2016It's a perfect place to talk and enjoy really good sushi! Love their drinks and definitely would be back
Best sushi in Astoria! Best and friendliest service. Super fresh. Best Philadelphia roll in the city. It includes salmon, cream cheese, avocado and cucumber! Yum!
Michelle ToubaliSeptember 8, 2012This is my favorite sushi place anywhere, including manhattan. Spicy tuna is to die for!! Beef negamaki is great, and most of the rolls- we love the volcano roll.
Large place, comfortable, clean with street side seating. Get the Tempura appetizers, chicken/beef Teriyaki and terrific iced tea.
Match ThisflyJuly 8, 2014Busy, dark and popular neighborhood spot. Creative menu. Sit at the sushi bar! You can ask the chefs about everything they are making.
The original home of the Spicy Crab Roll. Get the Pauline or Dynamite rolls because they are guaranteed to shatter your universe. The expansion is taking a bit long though...
Renee MaslikhovJune 1, 2014Very busy and popular place in the neighborhood. Sit at the bar! You can ask the sushi chefs about everything they're making
Sean FlemingNovember 21, 2015The dynamite roll is magic. Plus try the American Dream roll, it's not on the menu anymore (secret menu item).
RJ LivingstonJuly 17, 2013One of my favorite restaurants in all of NYC!! Fresh fresh delicious sushi! I always go for the sushi combo.
Elizabeth TuckerJune 4, 2010Best sushi you can get in all of NYC - that includes the freshness, the price AND the service. Hands-down, I'd bring anyone from Manhattan to Astoria for this experience. Google will say the same! Read more
Billy KeenlyJanuary 17, 2013They put a lot of ginger dressing on their salad which I like. Sushi and Sashimi for Two for $42 is a great deal.
Get the hot sake all night. I promise by the time you leave to your next location you will have the time of your life.
Stacy FiorentinosJune 22, 2013The spicy tuna with caviar on top is divine as is the shrimp tempura roll and the bumble bee.
Pauline roll is always a must for me.. shrimp tempura topped with spicy crab meat- hello, best of both worlds!- Thank God theyre back! New decor, new rolls, and ventillation! Same awesome staff too! Get the new Sea Color Roll, total life changer!!!
The Constant EpicureanJanuary 21, 2014The lunch specials have many options and affordable. Can't go wrong with those!
Leah MababangloobNovember 23, 2013Yummiest japanese food in Astoria! Make sure you order the soft shell crab roll!- Anna RAugust 16, 2014not accommodating at all. Happy hours specials are at the bar only even if you have a group of 7 looking to do dinner and drinks!
Come here often and try all thr specialty rolls! They're addictive!
Sarah KelleherDecember 31, 2013Making an exception here on the BK list as the sushi is excellent. Sweet lunch specials.
Amazing sushi! The seaweed salad is awesome and the leche martini is perfection!
Bumble bee roll is so fresh and fried angel hair noodle is so awesome :)
Lisa GrowJuly 25, 2011My go-to sushi restaurant and it happens to be in my neighborhood. Better than most Manhattan places. Delicious.
