    Nippon Cha is absolutely fantastic—easily a 5-star experience! The katsu was perfectly crispy on the outside yet juicy and tender inside, one of the best I’ve had. Their noodles were rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care, giving a truly comforting taste. The service was quick, friendly, and attentive, making the meal even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to friends who love authentic Japanese comfort food!

    The beef nabe was delicious!! Definitely great for the cold weather. The tochucha udon was also really good and hearty. For the appetizer we had the classic takoyaki which came hot but delicious nonetheless.

    a little surprised & unhappy as i wasn’t advised that Uni is not in the sashimi feast dish($55)! & the crab meat still has icy; otherwise overall the food is quite fresh & service is great!

    This Japanese restaurant is an absolute gem! Their tuna don is hands-down the best I’ve ever had — so fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. And the matcha tiramisu? Truly unmatched. It’s creamy, perfectly balanced, and absolutely to die for. I also love their appetizers, especially the baby octopus, which is tender and crispy. Everything here tastes incredibly fresh and thoughtfully made. You can tell we come here for birthday celebrations. A must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Japanese flavors and high-quality ingredients!

    Great atmosphere. Excellent chicken teriyaki set. Incredible salad. Rice was well cooked. Miso was good, but a bit too sweet for my taste. Vegetables and egg cup nice touches. My friend got sushi, came with real wasabi. Good restaurant would come back again.

    Wonderful experience and good Japanese food ! It’s my friend’s very first time here and we told her it’s a must try in Bayside. We ordered Negi ramen, the broth is so flavorful and yet, not greasy at all. The chirashi is fresh and rice is of perfect temperature. My friend was even saying that the Karaage (JP Fried Chicken) should get a 5-star as it’s totally juicy in the inside and crispy on the outside! Perfect texture. Matcha Tiramisu is handmade, it’s so creamy like ice cream !! I’m drooling now! A big shoutout to the staff for the night as they were so attentive and gave us appropriate personal touch with small talk! Amazing service and we will definitely come back again ! Cheers!
