Sushi Ya — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

The food was not good. The sushi was not fresh and there is a slight odor when you enter the restaurant. We ordered a salad, clear soup, fried oysters, 1 avocado cucumber roll, 1 sweet potato roll, 1 spicy tuna, and 1 shrimp tempura roll. Tempura rolls were not warm (which leads me to believe they must've had the fried tempura pieces premade and sitting down all day). Instead of spicy tuna we were served spicy salmon and told that's what we order (which isn't what my friend ordered). Fried oysters tasted like oil and air. Fried onion pieces that were offered were stale and chewy opposed to being crunchy. While eating my friend continued to express how hungry she was because the food was so bad and unsatisfying. We asked for a couple of things to be taken off the bill (salad and fried oysters), paid, and went next door to Kaji Sushi and Lounge where we had a much better experience.

Maybe in house the food and service is much better. But delivery wasn’t worth...

We arrived at 9:30 on a Monday night, just before the 10 pm closing time, seeking a quick bite. Despite finishing by 10:06 pm, the experience was disappointing. Our order included two rainbow rolls and a specialty roll with mango, and unfortunately, the sushi fell below the standards of even gas station or grocery store sushi. This stands as the worst sushi experience I've had on Long Island – the rolls were poorly made, dry, and tasted horrible. The subpar quality, especially given the price, has led me to decide i will never come back here again. I strongly advise against choosing this place for sushi; opting for grocery store sushi would likely yield a better experience. This establishment doesn't deserve...
