Naniwa Sushi

I come here very often, seems always busy for delivery. Fish are not fresh but decent quality sushi. I always order naniwa pizza, it’s very good! Reasonable price. But the servers talks so loud in their language nonstop, I get annoyed… I asked delivery once, and I got wrong order, so never again for delivery but would return to the restaurant.

I used to live around this area, so I ate here many times and still go back. My favorite is their bento boxes. Their sushi is also great and the place is cozy and cute. They are great at also accommodating some of their meals to what you prefer, if you want more seaweed in your soup, or what to change one of the items in the bento box for more sushi etc. I will continue to go back.

I Unilocaled this restaurant yesterday to find bad reviews about this place. Just by reading, I wouldn’t come. But today was my friend’s birthday dinner here, so hey, got no choice but to try the food.
Location is nearby my place. Décor looks nice and with dimmed lights makes the place look relaxing. Downfall is that service is so slow and food isn’t pleasant.
There was about a total of 15 people for the party. Only a total of 8 came including me. We all were hungry, so we decided to order the X Large Party Tray which contains 7 rolls, 45pcs of sushi or sashimi. We got: eel avocado roll, crispy roll, shrimp tempura roll, chicken tempura roll, spicy salmon roll, california roll, and philadelphia roll for the 7 rolls. And for the sushi, we got: salmon, yellowtail, tuna, shrimp, crab stick, and white tuna. All the cooked rolls were ok but too sweet. The sushis were not good. They were cut thin and were not fresh.
Everyone started to order their own dishes. My friend and I only wanted the sushi tray but were still hungry, so we decided to share the Chicken Teriyaki bento box. We asked can we substitute the california roll with another roll and they said it will be $ 0.50 extra. We said ok and substituted it with the salmon avocado roll. When the bento box arrived, I realized they forgot to give the tempura sauce for us to dip the tempuras provided in the box. We asked for it and it took a while for them to give it. The vegetable tempuras were ok but the shrimp was better. But still, not that good. The salmon avocado roll was not good. It’s not fresh. The shumai was ok. My friend and I didn’t eat the rice knowing we got full quickly.
We also decided to share a fried green tea ice cream. Out of everything eaten at the restaurant, only the ice cream tasted best! This is why I gave another 1 star for it. If not, 1 star is good enough for this place or even no stars.
When it was time to get the bill, we asked if they can split the bill with everyone’s own order and one bill for the sushi tray. They had to retake everyone’s order again which also took so long! When the bills were all given, my friend and I were surprised on the total. And to my horror, I found the reason, they added the tips to the total. So my friend and I decided to just give exact change. I don’t know about the others on how they paid. When my friend ask the birthday girl how much to give for the sushi tray since we are going to split the total, birthday girl said $ 10 each. Both my friend and I was surprised once more. We looked at the bill to find a huge total with tipping added to it as well. We asked why they added the tips to the receipt when tipping is optional. And they said 7 or less people doesn’t have to, but more than 7 people, 15% is added to the bill. And since we asked to split the bills, they also split the total tipping $ to all the receipts. It didn’t make any sense but it concluded that everyone gave $ 10, the divided amount for the sushi tray.
Now thinking back to the whole scene and with calculations to the bills, tipping price was way beyond above 15% of the bills. I didn’t know the total of all the bills. Maybe they only tipped 15% of the whole entire bill listed before splitting it and then split that amount to everyone’s receipt? If I did know the total of the entire bill, I may have the solution to this issue and will definitely give a complaint.
To conclude my review, this is a place I will never come back. I’ve tasted way better sushi at other restaurants here in Brooklyn.

Top notch sushi for the price — I have been coming here for the last 10 years, or more.

I think this place is A-​ok average for sushi and hand rolls, but their teriyaki dishes really needs some work! The teriyaki sauce is lacking in taste and flavor, chicken is a little dry and tasted bland. Their delivery service is always on point though, no complaint there.

So yummy and affordable! My all time favorite sushi place :-)
Only complaint I have is I keep getting this particularly unpleasant waitress… she always seems to be in a bad mood?
Food’s great though

They have an awesome dish they named the Japanese sandwich! Delish. I’m a regular I love stopping in for the lunch it’s the best Japanese lunch in the neighborhood. The naniwa pizza is also awesome.

When it comes to this place, you get what you paid for. Indeed, it is decently priced but the quality of food is below average.
Twice I ordered a salmon roll, and typically salmon is a nice coral color, but at this place apparently it is brown. I didn’t eat it both times. Their miso soup also has a strange sour taste to it.
The staff is nice and friendly but what the point if the food makes you sick.

Blahhhh cheap not fresh ingredients no taste first time in my life threw sushi to garbage

I have to give this place credit. Having a place in south Brooklyn that actually serves good food is hard to come by and this place hits the mark.
Pork pan fried dumplings are a favorite along with stir fried Udon. Sushi has always been fresh and perfectly made.
As far as service goes I have never sat in to eat so I can’t judge, which is why I am only giving 4 stars, but delivery wise they are usually pretty good and timely. Food comes hot and perfectly sealed.

Are you looking to not get your money worth but wanting disgusting average food at the same time? Naniwa is the hell hole where you shall discover two-​faced waitresses & slow service! Haha of course this is the best place to eat sushi! Disgusting sushi to be more precise.

Great local place. Been here for lunch and dinner a few times and food was always great. Chicken teriyaki is great. Pretty much any of the special rolls will have you leaving happy.

There sushi is always delicious and fresh top of the line, customer service is great, friendly support staff is great. .we have been coming here for year’s we so love this place and there food

I decided to give this local sushi joint another shot — seeing as my cravings for sushi and innate laziness aren’t going away anytime soon.
A review update for their food: From my prior visits, Naniwa has always been a hit-​or-​miss experience. However, recently Naniwa has been ‘hitting’ it real well.
Dining in and taking out, I found my sushi to be appropriately prepared and ‘on-​point’ tasty. No qualms over the phone. No troubles in the restaurant. Just hassle-​free sushi rolls.

Price is average. Went in around 5 PM for take out and the place was empty, but not a single employee greeted us. The wait for the food was average. We ordered a Sakura roll, Ichiban roll, Phoenix roll, yellowtail, and salmon rolls. One of the rolls had eel and the bones were still in the eel. Not good.

I am almost everyday there. Nearest, nice, small, cozy place. Day by day I’m getting disapointed of servise. I like food, I like to eat there, but because of servise I change my stars for this place from 5 to 3.

This place has great sushi and it’s just a small little place you’d never notice on kings highway! They have really cheap and yummy classic rolls and their more fun rolls are decently priced as well and extremely good. I also love their shrimp tempura and chicken teriyaki! They are also really fast and deliver!

I’m about to eat an «Angry Bird» sushi roll!
Yum…There are lots of different types (maki, futomaki, nigiri, etc)… It’s usually some kind of slice of raw fish wrapped in or placed on top of rice and seaweed… Other kinds wrap eggs… imitation crab… vegetables…just about anything! Not the best sushi I ever had but this place is a ok and it’s convent… just a block away from my house!

I was impressed with the quality of fish here. It was fresh and served at an ideal temperature which brought out the flavor in the fish. My favorite a la carte sushi was the tuna.
The rolls were very good too. I recommend the Kings highway roll the most. They also make good handrolls! I really enjoyed the salmon skin handroll and the eel handroll. The salmon skin was perfectly crispy.
In addition to good sushi, they have good cooked entrees too. I tastes the chicken teriyaki. It was sweet and tender.
For dessert, most of my party enjoyed the fried red bean ice cream. I was too full for dessert but was impressed to see this dessert which I have not seem in a while.
Overall, the service was very friendly service and accommodating. They brought out the food promptly; my only negative critique was that waitstaff did not refill our water glasses. Otherwise, I had a good experience here!

Good sushi and excellent special roll selection, I was impressed. They have stuff I have not seen elsewhere. Tried a mango roll and a baked sushi roll with caviar (it was different/​interesting but I enjoyed it). I also tried a simple smoked salmon roll and that was great.
They serve sake/​beer. Happy with the service and the atmosphere. Would return.
