Restaurant Yamaguchi

My family’s favorite Japanese restaurant in Long Island! We’ve been coming here to dine over 15+ years. Authentic Japanese food and great quality sushi.
They bring out edamame to start.

Sushi A is my go-to dish and every time it’s consistently good. Our favorite is white fish teriyaki. Texture of fish and sauce is to die for. Tempura udon is just perfect from broth to udon to tempura.
Fluke ponzu roll is so fresh. It comes with sauce on the side.
Many sushi combo and entrees come with miso soup or salad and they are so delicious.
We finish our meal with green tea ice cream. It’s perfect for weekday quick dinner or fun weekend dinner with friends and family.
Highly recommend Yamagucci restaurant.

Unpretentious savory delight. These words probably best describe and define a fine (and old) sushi restaurant in the heart of Port Washington area. This restaurant is located directly across from the LIRR station, so it makes sense for commuters to fall in love with this place.

However, you will immediately find out that this place is enamored by locals and tourists alike. I never lived in Port Washington, but this is one of my favorite sushi restaurants. No other place simply can catch up with Yamaguchi in terms of culinary excellence and the value. They just raised the price is Sushi A set substantially to $27. But where in NY can you get 8 pcs of top-notched nigiri + tuna roll. And a bowl of miso soup? And complimentary edamame? Please enlighten me if you know who can outcompete.

Seriously we need Yamaguchi in every town of America. It’s an understatement when I say I am getting sick of $150 omakase place taking over every major US cities. I don’t need golden spoon, I don’t need caviar on the torched salmon. I just need some good sushi meals under $30. Thank you Yamaguchi!

Food: Great quality of sushi. Hot foods are ok.
Service: They take reservations but tables are not ready by the reserved time for the most of the times.

The food here is always delicious! The sushi and sashimi combo is worth the price and super fresh. The tonkatsu is always a good choice and cooked crispy. They give big portions for the soba noodles and the dipping sauce is seasoned perfectly. Service may be a bit slow, but everyone is kind and the food is worth the wait!

We had been there for birthday dinner couple years. The service and food is amazing. The waiter is very nice.

It is one of the few authentic Japanese restaurants in Long Island. Some of the reviewers here have not been to Japan I have. As well as most of the top Japanese restaurants in NYC and the country. some of the reviewers are used to cheap sushi from other ethnicities pretending to be Japanese.
The only reason for 4 stars is they don't have uni. They only have standard fish.
But it is very fresh and I have been going for years and BTW I live in the city as Long islanders like to call it. But I have dealings in LI.

I was very excited to try this place since it had some many good reviews. Maybe it was an off night for the restaurant. We ordered the gyoza appetizer it was excellent but are main dishes were average at best. The sushi was cut too thick in my opinion and I was not impressed with the toro. The service was good and they have us some complimentary fruit.

Yamaguchi does a great job of handling massive take out orders and servicing dining customers. Though sushi service can be slow at times but the service itself is amazing. The fish is top-notch and their rice is very well seasoned and moist. The place serves chef's special and that's the best to get in my opinion. Cooked food is pretty good as well especially their egg (tamago), which might be the best one around. Recommend calling ahead for weekend reservations.
