Start with fresh seafood and raw fish, take a scoop of seasoned rice, and then roll with it. That’s simply what makes sushi sumptuous. The variations are as endless as the fish in the sea. We bring you this year’s winners for Best Sushi on Long Island.

I agree with many of the places on this list, but don’t know if I would put them in the same order….its a tough call. Many places seem to love Aji53 though, I read great reviews on them all over the web and I find them one of the more non-traditional places, which is a nice change. You are forgetting a great place called Matsuya. Saw some pictures of their dishes here http://www.thesushicritic.com/matsuya-great-neck-ny-sushi.html & I can’t wait to go back. Try the foie gras & eel sashimi for sure! There are other great pictures and recommendations on that site http://www.thesushicritic.com/ that I found helpful when deciding on li sushi and figure’d I’s share. Enjoy
The sushi critic is a moron, he doesnt know sushi at all
Homura Sushi is by far the best!!!

There is just no way there is a top sushi listing without kashi Huntington village. I have been to all the “best” on long island as I am a sushi nut, and kashi is the best quality, most creative, and has the best overall service. As I say to my friends “kashi is a high end high quality sushi rest. At an average sushi rest. Price”.
Nisen is the best Japanese restaurant I’ve visited!
Nisen of Commack is the best sushi and dining experience on the island! My husband and I eat there once a week and he usually goes there for lunch too
The staff is great and the sushi and cooked food are even better. Hands down Nisen of Commack is the Number 1 Sushi Restaurant.
MISAKI on plandome rd. acroos from the Manhaasset movie ..great sushi but NO ambience
