Torigo Japanese Restaurant

I think I’ve found my favorite go to Japanese restaurant on long island now. It used to be Kotobuki and Yamaguchi, but this restaurant definitely become number 1 out of the three. The workers there are so pleasant and the interior design of the restaurant was very nice. It gave a traditional Japanese feel to it. We had the tuna tartar which was the best I’ve had so far. Their spicy salmon roll doesn’t look very appetizing, but my it is SO GOOD and you can taste the freshness of their salmon. Their chicken katsu curry over rice was great too. The curry flavor was strong and reminded me of golden curry mix (which I don’t mind cuz that’s my favorite). The katsu was fried crisply and still juicy which was perfect. We ordered the deluxe sushi and sashimi which was a lot of food haha. Their sashimi quality is still better than the sushi pieces they gave. If I were to go again (which I will), I would just stick with the sashimi!
Their green tea crème brulee was awesome too. Very nice and crispy sugary top like a crème brulee should be. I’m definitely bringing my friends and family over here next time!

My go to spot close to home for omakase.
Sit by the bar and let sushi chef Tony who’s been training since he’s 17 take care of the rest.
Fresh fish prepared, cured and plated with different spins on flavor but always allowing you to taste the freshness of the fish.
Give it a try!

First time here and definitely not last. Got the sushi and sashimi for two and every bite was so fresh and flavorful, especially the salmon. Staff was really nice, good service too. Only downside was being too full for the green tea brulee, which just means we need to come back asap.

Love love love this place! Tony is very nice and a great sushi chef. Came here for the first time with some friends of mine and now I refuse to go anywhere else. The sushi is super fresh. Omakase is amazing! Tony knows exactly what is good and what you will like. From their nigiri so the rolls and everything else, food is great. I personally love their salmon belly and toro tuna nigiri. The rest of the staff is very nice and attentive. Oh and don’t forget to try their green tea crème brûlée because it is delicious! I recommend this place to everyone that wants good food and a great experience.

Second time I’ve been here. Had a grand experience both times. Easy parking. Warm staff. Delicious food. Reasonable prices. Wide selection of sushi types.
You can’t beat this place if you’re in the mood for sushi.

This place is by far my favorite lunch place in the area. I heard about the ownership change here and was afraid their taste might change but katsu curry I had still tasted the same as I was here previously.
I think I eat here at least once for lunch every time I am in town. My favorite lunch dish here is katsu curry or katsu don. Price is very reasonable, make it affordable for daily lunch.
Lunch comes with either miso soup or salad. I like to have their salad with lemon dressing. Their lemon dressing is refreshing, feels good for my tummy.
So close to the airport, it seems like I always see Japanese speaking businessman here. I am sure I will be back again next time I am in town

This place is awesome, they have a mix of sushi, great donburi and other entrees, and some itzakaya style appetizers. On the whole Torigo really captures a breadth of what is best about Japanese cuisine which swings from traditional to modern. If you go in the daytime try their ramen, which is cheaper than any place in the city and gives Totto Ramen and several other popular city establishes a run for their money. They have a Tonkatsu ramen and a spicy version of the same, both of which are great. I only wish they had it for dinner!
If you really want a sublime experience try the Omakase, its not on the menu as the price ranges but its well worth it and certainly more affordable than most other similar high end sushi places. They regularly have O-​toro and Chu-​toro cuts of tuna, as well as blue fin tuna on the menu, along with oysters and uni from all over the world. If you truly love all that is sushi, you will be more than well accommodated here. Their seasonal fair is also great, I’m still waiting for Artic Char to come back in season. Finally, I don’t know where they get their green tea ice cream, but its chock full of matcha flavor which imparts upon it a beautiful deep green color. The owner Tony is impressive in his knowledge of his cuisine and seems to remember every customer by name, which is probably good as I end up coming back here very very often!

By far my favorite sushi place on LI. Staff is always kind and attentive and the fish is always extremely fresh and tasty. Never a disappointing meal here

Bomb omakase!
Their omakase included couple appetizers, 10 pieces of sushi and a dessert dish.
Everything was so fresh and excellent — the salmon skin sushi was to DIEEEEE for! Superb omakase spot for those in queens/​LI that don’t want to travel all the way to the city!

Solid Japanese sushi restaurant with impeccable service. I would give 3 – 4 stars for food as most dishes were good, but I’ve definitely had it better at other sushi places, but definitely 5 stars for service. Reasonable pricing. Would definitely come back if in the area.
Appetizers: hamachi kama, salmon skin salad, scallop special. Scallops were by far one of my favorite dishes I tried. Hamachi Hama is pretty good and smooth. Salmon skin salad I would skip next time as I didn’t think the dressing had enough flavor and might be too salty.
Sushi/​sashimi: sashimi deluxe, California uni, toro, seared salmon belly. Fish is fresh and it was tasty but I’ve definitely had better nigiri at other places. Toro was too fatty to thoroughly enjoy.
Rolls: Fourth of July and stuck up shrimp. Sooo pretty! Great presentation and tasted pretty good too.
Service: One of the best service I’ve received at restaurants. The waiter was so friendly, helpful and polite. He even asked the sushi chef to cut the sashimi into thinner pieces so that more of our group could enjoy.

I’ve been going here for years. The workers here are fantastic and the sushi is so fresh.

Great lunch spot! Their succinct menu lacking the typical fare that plagues typical sushi spot on long island offers a few excellent rolls and tons of excellent noodle dishes. Perfect for a rainy day.

Kani Salad tasted disgusting
Miso soup has a strange smell to it and also tasted disgusting!
Spicy Tuna roll was okay
Chicken curry was okay but the curry sauce is not even edible.
I wouldn’t come back here ever again!
I’ve tasted better Japanese food, will not come back here again.
If I could I would give this resteraunt Zero stars.
I don’t understand how there even open and how people actually eat here. Smh

My favorite spot for sushi. Always fresh never disappoint. Price is reasonable for fresh fish you can pay less else where but guarantee will suck !! Must have when I’m here. Uni, toro, oyster, seared salmon belly.

THE MOST LEGIT BENTO BOX DINNER EVER.
Not just some rice, salad, sushi. It came with shrimp tempura, chicken dumplings, seaweed, the main entrée choice (I had delicious cod), and rice. It may have had more but I ate it so quickly I didn’t even remember.
I have also had the chicken katsu curry, deluxe sushi and sashimi for 2, gindara & shrimp sauté, and una-​tama don = ALL AMAZING AND FRESH!!!

(3.5 Stars) I’ve been here 2 times so far and the food are consistently good. Their servers are nice, but a bit slow. Also I highly suggest whoever is interested in trying it out to make a reservation because it’s a pretty small place, so the wait can get ridiculous. The second time we came here with no reservation, we waited for about 45 minutes for a party of 4.
Anyways off to some food recommendations!
Starters: Shrimp tempura, Fried Tofu Fire, and the Hamachi Kama. They are all pretty good.
Sushi: Deluxe Sushi & Sashimi Combo for 2 (very fresh ingredients), Salmon Queen (my favorite roll), and Crunchy Roll — all in all, their sushi is very good here!
Desserts: Fried Ice Cream is delicious here & their green tea ice cream is one of the best green tea ice creams I had before, so it’s a must try if you like green tea.
As for the other entrees and bentos, I remember my family ordered it before the first time we came here and I got to try them. they were just okay, very average so I would never order it here considering how expensive it is too. For example the Salmon Teriyaki is $ 18.totally not worth it especially when it tasted very average. So I would just recommend the starters and the sushi/​sashimi.
I would still recommend this place if you’re around the area and you’re craving some sushi, but otherwise I’ve been to better places.

I went for dinner and didnt have any high expectation. The place was small and cozy. The waitress was super polite and friendly. Started off with appetizers: fried tofu and fire sauce: i licked the plate!!! The sauce was not fire… more like a few sprinkles of red pepper and it was sweet and tangy
Soba noodle salad: very gingerish but good!
Entrée: sushimi and sashimi platter… wow!!! It was so fresh and the rice was perfect! I loved how i was able to put it all in my mouth without struggling… where some places are huge with so much rice and a small sashimi…
All their fish were fresh… i didnt taste or smell anything fishy… this means you are getting quality sashimi!
I will definately go back!!! I left happy and satisfied! Oh and their green tea crème Brule was so good too!

My husband and I are big sushi fans. So when we heard there was a reputable sushi joint in Floral Park (of all places), we had to try it.
We came early on a Friday night and the place wasn’t too crowded, but after a few minutes, the place was packed. Thankfully we placed our order before it became too hectic. The service was a little unorganized, but I overheard a waitress saying they were down a server. My husband and I ordered sushi, while our kids ordered cooked food. Everything was delicious and the sushi was fresh. We were pleasantly surprised to find their don buri was excellent. We will definitely return to try their omakase, but definitely on a different day when it’s not so busy.

I think it’s safe to say that I have a healthy obsession with sushi. I think if I had to pick between a sushi or a steak dinner, I think I would go sushi. Overall, I thought my meal here was good, there were a few things that bothered me about the meal, it was a good meal but by no means great. I think the two biggest issues I had were the flavoring of the rice and the temperature of the seafood. I was OK with the texture of the rice but I felt the rice needed more seasoning, I felt the seafood had nobody to pair with. But the biggest issue I had was the temperature of the seafood, everything came out ice cold. I know seafood has to be cold but these things were SO COLD. For the meal, I went with the Omakase which was $ 75. I say this is solid for Long Island, but doesn’t compare to any in the boroughs.
The food:
Ankimo– Monkfish liver. I have had this dish in many restaurants and the version here was great, it was nice and livery, but in a good way.
Ikura fresh wasabi– I am normally not a fan of salmon roe but the one here had really nice flavor. I am not a fan of the salty flavor but the one here was done very well.
Otoro– I normally love Otoro but this was just OK, I felt it was a tad mild in flavor.
Wild prawn with Ceviche– This was one of my fav pieces, I also enjoyed how it was kinda spicy. The prawn had such a wonderful flavor and texture and the head was fried really well.
Ocean Trout with seaweed salt– This was such a pretty piece, Ocean Trout is in the salmon family so I thought it was originally salmon. Overall, I though it was good but a tad mild.
Hokkaido scallop with soy and seaweed paste– Another fav piece, it was so perfect and meaty. The scallop was so crazy fresh and it really felt like I was biting into the ocean. The piece did have a little kick from the wasabi, which was nice.
Madai– We know it as Sea Bream, it was good but too mild.
Kanpachi– aka Amberjack. This piece was good, it was so silky, smooth and velvety, I liked this piece.
Ocean Trout– Wasabi, Avocado and tofu. I loved how fatty and silky the Ocean Trout was, it was also such a pretty piece. The condiments kinda felt lost, I really didn’t notice the Wasabi, avocado or the tofu.
Bonito with Scallion and Ginger– This was my least favorite piece, I didn’t like the taste nor texture of the Bonito.
Horse mackerel The Japanese call it Aji and normally it’s one of my favs, it was pretty good but I was expecting more.
Mackerel Oshizushi– I have seen this before but never tried it, it’s sushi pressed into a box shape, it looks pretty but there was so much rice.
Santa Barbara Uni– It was nice and clean, the flavor was great but oddly, the flavor didn’t linger. It was just good.
Crab Hand Roll– It was kinda like a Japanese crab taco, you roll it yourself. The roll was nice and meaty but the crab wasn’t as sweet as I thought it would be.
Tamago with Shiso– It was just OK.
Honeydew– The «dessert» was just sliced fruit. I was expecting/​wishing it was something different.

I am happy to have found torigo, hubby and i were craving sushi but there is not a lot of authentic sushi joint in queens to choose from, we came across torigo on Unilocal which is on longisland but close to where we live so we decided to try it out. This restaurant is japanese owned and the menu is pretty authentic as well. Our waiter is a young japanese man who is very friendly and attentive.
We ordered the ebi shinjo (fried shrimp rice ball), ankimo (monk fish liver) and a bunch of sushi a la carte. The day we went they were out of uni so i was a little disappointed, but I love their ankimo, it has a very strong liver taste than what I am used to so if you are a fan of this dish you will love it. We ordered different sushi ala cart and the highlight is the scallop and the botan shrimp. The botan shrimp is super sweet and they deep fried the shrimp head for you which is just how other authentic places serve this dish. I love the crunchiness and the shrimp head is so flavorful!
Their fish is very fresh and melts in your mouth, one minor complain is their sushi is really big and their rice is a little bit on the hard side, but it doesnt bother me too much. They have a good selection of beer, sake and wine, i ordered the fuji apple wine which is very interesting, i will try their lychee wine next time.
It seems they serve omakase, I will definitely come back to try it.
