Reviews for Sai in Queens, NY
Fresh high quality ingredients unlike many of the other Japanese restaurants in the area. Got the sushi and sashimi for 2 and... added on 2 more rolls. The truffle toro is a must have. It was nicely seared and just melts in your mouth. Will be back! Read more

I completelyrecommend this place to all the fish and rice lovers out there ???? Read more
One of the best sushi place I have ever been to. Everything was super delicious. We tried bunch of rolls(shrimp tempura, black... dragon(amazing), triple salmon, spicy tuna, spicy girl roll) and got avocado salad and spring roll as appetizers, and lava cake,espresso creme brule as dessert.The interior design is beautiful, employees are friendly,deserts are superb. I highly recommend! Read more
Sai was SOY good! This is our favorite upscale Japanese restaurant in Queens. This was such a hidden gem, it definitely deserves... more hype. They are located in Rego Park right across from the Ikea. We found street parking (It’s meter parking until 10PM).Im sure you can probably find some free residential parking in the area, but we were running late with our reservation. When wegot to the restaurant, it was super clean and the ambiance was lovely. This is the perfect spot to celebrate a birthday oranniversary. I mean I am hoping my boyfriend takes me back here soon. We sat in one of their booths and began to go over themenu. They have a regular menu and an omakase menu. We decided to order from both. We started off with the omakaze appetizers,with 5 pcs of sashimi. Since it was chef’s choice, we did not expect such high quality and popular pieces. The chef gave ustoro, salmon, scallops… they all SUPER fresh and paired with different ingredients such as garlic crisp, chilli crisps,truffle etc. The presentation was beautiful as well, as it comes in tiny Japanese plates on a bigger platter. . We got the $99omakase set. It comes with clam miso soup (it has REAL clams inside), edamame, three pce sashimi, two appetizers, 9pce nigiris,one toro don. When I found clams in my miso soup, I was honestly surprised. I don’t think I’ve ever found real clams in mymiso soup in any other Japanese restaurants in NYC. The edamame is fun to just snack on while we wait for the rest of the meal.The set also came with three pce sashimi. Most of the time when we go to Japanese restaurants and order chefs choice sashimis,we wouldn’t get salmon or toro. However, SAI gave us toro with caviar and fatty king salmon. It was so good! For ourappetizers.. we were superr impressed! They served us toro with truffle, and the truffle wasn’t just there as a decor, thetoro had aromas of truffle as it melts on your tongue. The other appetizer was a giant scallop. It was plated with the freshe Read more

Stopped by Sai after the gym and it satisfied our sushi cravings. Server was super attentive. We ordered the Ultimate Toro Roll... and the Sushi/Sashimi set. The toro was lightly seared and super fresh. The garlic sauce on top added a good touch to it. Woulddefinitely stop by again since they have a wide variety of special rolls that I still want to try! Also, don’t forget tocheck-in on yelp for a free sake! Read more
