🇺🇸Astoria | Bet You Haven’t Tried This All-You-Can-Eat Japanese Spot

I recently discovered Tokyo Ya, an incredible sushi spot in Astoria, Queens—and I just have to rave about it! 🎌 With over 150 dishes available as part of their AYCE menu, plus à la carte options, you can mix and match to your heart’s content. But for big eaters like me 😏, going all-in on the buffet is the only way to go! Their menu is seriously impressive: nigiri, sashimi, classic rolls, hand rolls, specialty rolls, tempura, appetizers, udon, ramen, rice balls, drinks—you name it! As a Japanese food lover, I was in heaven. I especially loved their nigiri and sashimi—the flying fish roe was super fresh, and the yellowtail and thinly sliced octopus were delicious. The fried shrimp cutlet? Crispy outside, tender inside… so satisfying! 😋 But the real stars were their creative sushi inventions: sushi tacos 🌮 and sushi donuts 🍩. I’ve never seen anything like them—quirky, Instagram-worthy, and 100% fun. The secret to their delicious food is simple: fresh ingredients + made-to-order preparation. You can watch the chefs skillfully craft each dish at the open sushi bar. It’s clean, transparent, and totally reassuring. The sashimi is thick-cut, chilled to perfection, and melts in your mouth with that just-right satisfaction 🥰. And the prices? Seriously friendly! 🕐 Lunch: $27.99 🌙 Dinner: $37.99 (all day Fri–Sun) 👶 Kids eat for half price—great for families! 🎂 On your birthday, dine with three others and your meal is FREE! Easy to get to, too! If you’re not driving, just take the N train to the last stop and walk 8 minutes. After your meal, make your way to Astoria Park for a gorgeous sunset 🌉—views of the bridge, river, and open fields, with a gentle breeze that’ll leave you feeling completely refreshed.
