Sushi Daizen

Authentic Sushi experience, best I've had since I lived in Japan. Highly recommended.

Best sushi around by far, fish quality feels just like upscale sushi shops in Japan, could not recommend more

Incredible Omakase (chef's choice) restaurant. Clean, classically Japanese decor conveys humble elegance and doesn't distract from the meal. You can order 10 or 15 pieces per person, I think (we had the 10pcs option). Anyway the chef asks if there's anything you don't eat or if anyone in your party has any allergies, then you let him or her go to work. The way in which the pieces are prepared, seasoned and described (yes, the chef will give you a short description of each piece as he/she places it in front of you) adds to the experience. Go to Queens and enjoy a great meal in this newly developed section of Long Island City. They keep opening classy joints like this and get a couple of good public schools LIC will supplant Astoria as the Park Slope (or Williamsburg) of Queens.

Super delicious.! The staff are all really polite. We were lucky to have the head chef/owner preparing our meal for us. Definitely worth the trip from Manhattan. Not to mention the price below the normal and the quality is as good as 5 stars or even better.

My friend and I visited on Tuesday evening for omakase. It was definitely one of the best sushi I had in town. Everything was very fresh. We sat by the bar and saw the chef making the sushi in front of us. The restaurant was very small and had very few seats, so it was very quiet and allowed me to focus on the food more and to have some quiet time with friend.
