New Sushi Village — Restaurant in New York

Came here on a Monday night (President's Day) for all you can eat (AYCE) sushi with two others. There are a few parking spaces on the side of the restaurant. Outdoor dining is an option with large tables set up, but we opted for indoor dining. We were seated promptly when we arrived, with options of ice water or hot tea for the table. The tables are amply spaced apart to not feel crowded with other patrons. There are also several seats at the sushi bar available. The interior is somewhat dated and aged, and maintenance is lacking (lots of algae in the fish tank).

In contrast, the food was up to date. The AYCE menu includes several types of sashimi, nigiri, basic rolls, and specialty rolls on the raw side. There are many cooked options as well such as noodle dishes and fried dishes, plus a couple ice cream flavors for dessert. Our party of 3 opted for some fried tempura veggies and shrimp (the shrimp was excellent but the veggies were on the heavy side), LA galbi (well seasoned but over cooked), and miso soup (average) from the cooked menu.

For the seafood, we ordered the salmon and white tuna multiple times, arctic clam, cooked eel, multiple nigiri including salmon, tuna, and shrimp, and many different rolls. All the fish was very fresh and delicious. The nigiri was a little heavy on the amount of rice given with each piece and also not the most well constructed (several fell apart when trying to dip in the soy sauce). The beautifully crafted rolls are well balanced with the amount of rice, fish, and other ingredients. After 3 rounds of orders, we opted for green tea and red bean ice cream to finish.

Overall, our total came out to be just over $100 (prices as of Feb 2023 were $34 pp M-Th, $36 pp Fri-Sun and holidays, kids under age 10 half price) plus tax and tip. The service was prompt in standard Asian restaurant efficiency style, the AYCE cost was fair for the quality and quantity of the food we had, and the ambiance was par for the course of AYCE sushi joints in Queens. Will certainly consider returning to satisfy any future AYCE...

Love This Place Definitely Worth It!

Had a great experience here. Totally worth every bite of sushi I had. Just a few things for anyone coming here for the first time:

Read the menu carefully. When you're ordering, take your time. For example, under Option C (Maki), you can choose between a hand roll or 6-piece cut roll I missed that part and realized too late. So don’t rush and make sure you double check what you're picking.

It’s all-you-can-eat, but don’t waste. It’s written right at the top of the menu: if you leave too much food, they’ll charge extra. So just be mindful when ordering.

Service was good overall. Waitress was excellent fast and kind.

I ordered a lot of different stuff, so it’s understandable that the shrimp tempura didn’t come out the first time. I just asked again and got it later—no big deal.

Parking is tight but doable. They have parking out front. It’s usually full, but cars move pretty often, so if you’re a little patient, you’ll get a spot.

Now, the food: The fish was fresh especially the tuna, salmon, eel, and red clam sashimi. The sushi rice was just right, and the avocado was fresh. The spicy tuna roll had a nice kick without being too much. Spicy mayo was really good too. Just so you know, the crab meat is imitation, but that’s normal for these kinds of places.

We also got a few items like edamame, shumai, and the chicken veggie soup (I forgot to take pics before digging in).

Dessert was the best part for me loved the green tea ice cream and the tempura banana. So good.

Price: We paid $88 for two people, including drinks and dessert. For the amount and quality, I thought it was more than fair.

Final Thoughts: Good food, fresh fish, fair price, and a nice spot overall. Just take your time when ordering, and don’t overdo it on the portions unless you plan to finish it. I’d...

Excellent AYCE Sushi place. They take your order and deliver your food in a timely manner. A highlight is the AYCE isn't just sushi but also fried foods like tempura and deserts. A big eater can easily get their value here. Some highlights was the various tempura dishes, their aged tofu and BBQ squid app. Various sashimi's were also great as some rolls. Some dishes are not has good as others such as the Tonkatsu which was dry and tough. However, keep in mind that there needs to be a certain mastery over the Tonkatsu which honestly requires a store on its own or basically restaurant not serving at AYCE but on its own dish. The Tonkatsu being thin was probably why it came out dry and tough and their, fish-katsu was similar.

Equally a lot of the special rolls are very good but not fully my cup of tea, though I ate through them. All the sashimi was very good including the peppered varieties, eel, tuna, white tuna, white fish, kind but surprisingly the salmon was very bland even though it had a full marbling and looked good. Perhaps I got unlucky.

Service was superb despite being busy. I do belie mastery of the menu is a bit needed to avoid things that are great in concept and people are big fans of but in a AYCE setting might not be so great.

Desert was also fantastic and part of the AYCE experience. Fried oreos, fried bananas with honey and green, red bean, or vanilla ice cream. Totally delicious and would cost quite a penny in not a AYCE scenario but here you order to your hearts content. I did order a red- bean ice cream but got a green in instead but I didn't fuss about since it was delicious!

Its fully worth every penny to go to this place and has parking and when I went plenty of space. I will likely go again to fully check out the menu or put in on a list of spots I will always like...
