Always good, always fresh, best sushi on long island
I was looking for a good sushi restaurant and Nagahama is the place. Sushi is fresh and tastes great. Can get pretty busy and waits sometimes exceeds over an hour. But this place is worth the wait. Take out only! Love the Back Dragon Roll!
What a disappointment, they have a manager who clearly doesn’t know anything about the hospitality industry. We called for delivery, after an hour and change we call to see if the delivery they advised would be 30-45 mins has left. They tell us it’s 5 minutes away. After another 43 minutes we called back, politely asked if it has left, they advise us it was sitting there and they thought it was a pick up, even though we called twice inquiring about our “delivery” the manager says I’ll send someone right now he will be there in minutes. 33 minutes later we realized he wasn’t coming as it does not take 33 minutes to travel 6 blocks. We called back and the order was canceled. This is what happens when you make your delivery driver your manager. Not a single apology or anything else. Just a waste of time and very inconsiderate people. There are just as good options in LB who actually value your business. Especially with the prices this place charges. PS i was just very ting to a friend about this experience and he explained his wife got food poisoning while pregnant he didn’t hear and when they notified the restaurant they couldn’t care less. Some arrogance this place has.
This is my favorite Japanese restaurant in my neighborhood and my friends and I are a regulars here, mostly on Thursday nights after our boardwalk run. This time I went on a Friday night with some family.This place never disappoints! Sushi and sashimi are always fresh and delicious! And the waiters and waitresses are very attentive. As you get to know them they treat you even better... sometimes with little perks.Seating is a little tight and intimate and it can get crowded here on busy nights so sometimes theres a wait. Theres also seating at the sushi bar if you dont want to wait for a table.
My favorite sushi place on long Island. Been going there for over 20 yrs and it never disappoints. Always fresh. Always delicious
Very fresh sushi and the fun atmosphere to go with friends. Many different choices of sake. Wouldnt go with the beef dish as it was overcooked. But all of the different rolls offered are very fresh and delicious. Very good dumplings as well. Funny wait staff.
Excellent food! I highly recommend this restaurant. I was staying at the Allegria hotel nearby, so I ordered the Chirashi and a side salad from Nagahama for a dinner delivery. Received my order well within the estimated delivery time👍👍. The salad itself was standard iceberg lettuce fare, but their dressing was quite good.But more importantly, the chirashi was absolutely delicious! It was a sizable portion: rice was still nice and warm, and had that light, vinegary seasoned taste of good sushi rice. The slices of fish were marvelously tender and flavorful, and the pieces of tamagoyaki were such a treat in the overall bowl of seafood. I was quite full 3/4 of the way in, but the food was so good that I had to finish every last bite. No regrets!
I didn’t eat my food after they brought our food on the table. My daughter screamed Mom don’t drink it. The glass of wine still has lipstick from others, fingers prints are all over the cup. We started to at other glasses. Obviously they didn’t not wash them. They are so busy. I told the server about it. She took the cup away with attitude. No sorry nothing. We paid our bill left
Great sushi, fresh fish and good service.
This place never disappoints! There could be a bit of a wait before you get sitted, but its worth it. Sushi and sashimi are always fresh and the service is friendly. This restaurant gets crowded at dinner time and on the weekends. It seems to be very popular in the neighborhood. There are young couples, old friends getting together, families with multiple generations…; everyone seems to enjoy dining there.
The sushi is really good. And the $14.50 sushi lunch platter,is a good buy. However,they seriously need to improve their restaurant cleanliness,as I noticed;when I looked- just beyond,their dining area. It even appears that(their dinning area), is by reduced by much clutter,leading to their kitchen.
They are ok. In my opinion over priced . Theres another Japanese place down the block in Long Beach, NY that is so much better in quality and price .
I love blowing my parents money. However, I did not enjoy blowing it this time around. It really was not worth it. The food is incredibly expensive for the amount that you get. The quality is good, albeit not worth what you are paying for. There are a plethora of other Asian cuisine places near by, at least half of which I believe are better.The only reason that I did not one star is because of the free green tea, and the fact that the service is not horrible.
Faultless! Simply the best quality, best tasting, best presentation, best value...No. 1 roll, David roll, Chanukah roll, warm mussel appetizers (we got 2 each).. salads as fresh as can be! Popular place... very casual, very busy. Better than anything in Manhattan, Nobu quality at 1/3rd the price.
An excellent choice if youre into sushi. Quite pricey, but large variety. Waits are somewhat longer than normal. If you are expecting quality, its all worth it. Excellent food to eat and enjoy.
Good service, great menu, interesting choices
Paid $60 for food and got cheap silver wear no drinks
We had a variety if sushi and rolls1 roll we had had fake imitation Crab meatThen other Roll the tuna was old and fishyTasting and smelt. My girlfriend and I hadA couple of drinks at home, since this wasA take out service. Went back the next daySunday, to return the 2 Rolls mentionedabove. They were closed for that LunchService. I live 45 min. Away. I called in as soonAs they opened up. The front man who answered the phone. Said since I didnt returnThe sushi. It was policy of the owner and restaurant. NOT TO REFUND THE MONEY ORSTAND BYE THEIR FOOD. WATCH OUTany Rolls that have spice or sauce maybe badOr on the way out. So they think they can mask their food with hot sauce or other sauces. ANY SNOW CRAB. IS FAKE IMITATION CRAB MEAT. BE CAREFUL
Horrible, spicy tuna roll was just tuna roll with cucumber, shrimp tempura roll was essentially tempura breading wrapped in rice and it was nearly $80. I will never waste my money here again and I wish 0 stars was an option.
This is the best sushi restaurant on long island. Period. The rolls are inventive and unique, the fish is the freshest Ive ever had, and the staff is both competent and friendly. Highly recommend.
Best sushi around. Crunchy spicy scallop roll is amazing! Delic!
My meal is always great from here. Miss sitting at the sushi bar, wish they would open for indoor dining again.
Love the food. Great atmosphere...but its time to open the restaurant for in dining service. Come on Hide....open up already.
My friends, Mayumi & Hide own this restaurant. They are voted best sushi on Long Island, for 7 years straight, by Zagats. Their food, service, & atmosphere is outstanding!
Rolls are delicious. Atmosphere is ok, a little crowded, a little loud but the service is good and the waitress was very friendly. Its great place to go but I wouldnt take a first date here is all
One of the best sushi places on Long island. The menu here it much more traditional than some of the new popular sushi places that have been popping up on Long island (i.e. Arata, Tiga). If you value the quality of fish, and the more simple crafting of sushi, then you will love nagahama.
I would give it zero stars. Fish is very low grade, definitely overpriced for the quality of fish. Fake crab meat in rolls described in the menu as a snow crab. $1.25 extra for each! roll for brown rice. Place is a joke.
Yesterday I went with two long time friends to Nagahama Sushi to celebrate a dear friends birthday. I had bought her a $100 gift card and this would be the first time we would be able to use it.First the good - the food is excellent and easily compares to anything else around. Ive been here several times and would definately return for the food alone. I would definately return despite the negative points below; the food is simply that good. We had sushi, tempura and a slew of appetiziers, all done to perfection.The negative - when we tried to pay, the manager told us there was a zero balance on the unused gift card. Fortunately we had both the gift receipt and the credit card I used for the gift card. We waited a half hour for this to be sorted out. The manager was very apologetic, and said that this happened frequently, apparenyly so we wouldnt take it personally. He even showed us a list of accounts in which he had similar problems.I dont know what would have happened if we didnt bring the gift receipt and if I didnt have access to my credit card account. I would recommned this place, despite the gift card debacle but Id strongly advise against buying their gift cards.
Wonderful vibes and super friendly service. The food was fresh and delightful. Will clearly recommend this spot to friends. Reasonable prices and large meals. Good job.
I started visiting Nagahama initially after my long time favorite sushi restaurant, Taiko of Rockville Centre, closed down unexpectedly a few years back. Ive been taking friends to Nagahama ever since. Their fish is always fresh as can be, in particular their salmon sashimi is irresistible! Nor do I know of any other sushi restaurant in Nassau that sells authentic tamagoyaki with thin layers of egg folded many times over. Crunchy Spicy Fresh Salmon roll, David Roll, and Black Dragon Roll are must trys.
Service was only slightly less better than the food, and if you know how good the food is, you know what I mean. One of the best sushi restaurants around.
First off i asked for extra soy sauce didnt get it.. the avocado salad had only a crunchy 1/2 of avocado and he sashimi was so awful i threw it out.. 35 dollars gone.
My go to place when you are looking for good sushi than this is it. We are frequent customers and cant get enough. Weve been coming here for almost 4 years I think and cant stop coming.
I had great sushi (salmon, kanpyo, oshinko, shrimp tempura) and tempura vegetables here. I tried ramen as well and it was delicious! Staff was friendly and attentive. They provide hand towels at the start of the dinner.
Great service, excellent sushi and sashimi. Friendly atmosphere like youd expect in this neighborhood. Order the tuna balls as an appetizer. Youll thank me later.
Never disappoints. Fish is always fresh. Staff is kind. Its my favorite Sushi place on Long Island.
Nice little Japanese restuarant.My daughter contantly raved about Nagshama in Long Beach when we lived on LI. We are here on a family vacation, visiting friends and family and happen to be staying on Long Beach so of course we had to give it a try. My, wife, son, and I all tried a few different rolls to get a sense if it lived up to my daughters hype.I am happy to say Nagahama is an excellent choice based on my admittedly limited experience. The spicy crunchy tuna, barbacued yellow tail, and salmon roll were all great. I think Nagahama is definitely worth a try.
The best sushi I have ever had. Be prepared to wait, sometimes even 30 mins, but it is so worth it. Ait at the sushi bar and see the masters at work. Try the special mussel appetizer.
We had an awesome experience in this place. We loved the extraordinary vibes and the food. The staff members are super personal. I’m content we eventually managed to visit this place.
A very good sushi place in the area. Locals favorite with a lot of regulars that keep coming back. If you are into special rolls - this is a place for you.
The Japanese hospitality is very apparent with their service. Food is very very good. Hard to beat if youre looking for sushi in the Long Beach area!
I always order the large hot sake here with my sashimi deluxe dinner. The saki is very good here.
Was looking for a new sushi spot in Long Beach and came upon this winner. We loved it!
Very fresh sushi, great menu choices and service. Up there with the best I have been to, and this costs less
The Worst food and service. They absolutely messed up our order, we waited forever (with 2 kids) and the food was not too good. They could at least have been apologetic, but they were not. It was a very bad experience - restaurant was better several years ago, but I will not return!
Great food. I go there for their pork katsu don sometimes. Its a bit pricey for one lunch but its worth it.
The best sushi in NY. It is part of our life. Spicy crunchy shrimp handroll made by Hide. Sit at the sushi bar and have it all.
Best Sushi on Long Island, hands down, service is great but be aware that on summer weekends it can get very busy but worth the wait
The absolute best sushi in NY. Hands down indisputably. Have been going here since 96 . Classic presentation.
The sushi was mediocre, it took over an hour to get our food, and our waitress was incredibly rude until we became visible upset that we had been waiting for so long with nothing to eat.
Friendly staff! Excellent sushi and good tempura. Agedashi tofu broth is a touch bland.
Amazing quality,authentic taste and very freshGreta service!
Food was great! Staff was attentive, informative. Would have given 5 stars if it had better ambiance
Have been eating here for ever.. Always fresh. Always great. Thanks to owner and head sushi chef Hide.
Good sushi, but waitress forgot to put our order in and did not apologize or pay attention to us.
My favorite sushi in ny! On par with any top sushi spot in the city. (Sit at the bar its a great experience. On par with sushi seki in manhattan)
The most amazing sushi in all of nyc and long Island. Drive here from wherever you may be. Hide the owner is incredible.
Very bad waitress! (middle aged asian woman)she makes the food mediocre!I can recomend going there! Very bad she makes the experience not worth it. ....the best word is ANNOYING
You have to try the Brook role!

2022-07-10Absolutely the best! I wish I could give more stars to this place because it is a legitimate Japanese experience of what sashimi and sushi should be.Good selection of Sake and beer.The miso soup was perfection.I ordered the miso cod as an appetizer. Definitely recommend! Cooked perfectly, not overly seasoned or sweet. Just great flakey fish the way it should be with perfectly chared and crispy skin.Sushi and sashimi sampler + California roll was a great value.Specialty rolls ordered did not disappoint! The David roll was AMAZING!! Spider roll with soft shelled crab was good too, lots of crab, enjoyed very much.Now on to my favorites, as of this wasnt enough already lol, the medium Toro.. OMG literally brought tears to my eyes, Im still so happy just thinking about it. Super fatty, great cuts, best I have had outside of Japan.Finally.. THE SWEET SHRIMP!! Definitely order this! I didnt get a picture of the fried head but it was fried to perfection. Light breading, perfectly cooked. The sweet shrimp sushi was plump, sweet, with a small crunchy bite to it. This is one of my favorite things and Im so glad it was as good as it was.Kudos to the Chef and his team on excellent execution, awesome service, and friendly staff.Highly recommended, and will be back next time I am in NYC!

2022-05-04Food may be good but the owner is horrible. Tells her servers not to let you know that they aren’t taking credit cards until they bring the check and that if you did want to pay credit card as of today they have a new policy to charge an extra 3.5% for credit card (points to a sign the size of a notecard) This was after we got ignored all evening. Never got teriyaki we asked for. Good food but not worth the bad service.

2022-03-12Worst phone etiquette I’ve ever experiencedBad attitude I’m just hoping that the food is worse the hour and a half waitOrdered my food at five and at seven was told I was an hour and a half wait save your money use another sushi restaurant is plenty around.Will finally got food delivered and Definitely was not worth the wait

2022-01-17The food is excellent, however, the front house staff were disorganized and rude. The food wait for delivery and pick-up have been long and dreadful since before COVID-19. Front of house staff was unapologetic and perhaps finding suitable and competent replacements would benefit the establishment. Dining in is a much better experience.
Review №7
2022-06-13Good but overrated and wait times for pick up can be ridiculous. Service when dining in has been very good. The interior could use a renovation.
Review №8
2022-05-10Best sushi on LI. It would be nice if they delivered. It says here they deliver, that is a lie. Everytime i’ve called for delivery they say it will be two hours or it will be over an hour and a half or it will be a very long time. This means no, they do not deliver. Shame. Best sushi, worst delivery.

2022-06-13Excellent sushi rolls & service. Ambience is meh, but acceptable.

2022-02-06Fake japanese food. Service from staff is pitiful and cringe worthy. I felt like I was being yelled at. Way better alternatives in Long beach than this place.
