Kondo

Pretty good japanese restaurant for those who want to have not American japanese sushi.

Kondo is a solidly good Japanese restaurant in Astoria. It’s not at the level of nearby Gaijin, or Manhattan high-end sushi bars, but it’s far better than an average sushi joint in Queens.

The place is simply decorated and pleasant. Service was polite and efficient. The food was served quickly (I was one of four customers for dinner at the time).

I tried the sushi deluxe and it was all delicious. The fish was seemingly fresh, or at least of a higher caliber than places nearby (again, besides Gaijin). The scallop sushi was the highlight for me. The presentation for the whole platter was also above average.

I’d definitely return, but my one qualm is that my sushi deluxe cost about $40. With a single beer and also tip, my dinner for one cost me $60. With this said, I do appreciate that fresh fish comes at a price.

Excellent sushi restaurant. The food is good and on time and their prices are not over the top. Good choice to have japanese food in the area.

Pleasant dinner, the fish was very fresh and most importantly the rice was cooked perfectly. The salmon teriyaki was perfectly seasoned and grilled.
Also, we tried the desert Almonds Tofu and that was tasty. Not too sweet.
We'll probably go back sometime later.
