An unexpected find in this part of Queens. The staff was very accommodating and made space for us to come with a baby stroller. We had the black cod, karage, and a selection of nigiri. Everything was delicious and the sushi was very fresh. Recommend the salmon and uni pieces. They also have a few Japanese craft beers – we had the matcha IPA and Yuzu ale, all delicious. Giving 4 stars mostly for the cleanliness around the bathroom area.

I had the best time here. It is a hole in the wall and I almost missed the entrance because it looked like it was closed, but if Google maps says you’re in front of the restaurant, you’re in the correct place. They are also reservation only.

Reservations only, don’t bother walking in without one. The reason being is the experience of the meal not just the dining in part. BTW, no take out either. It’s not allowed nor offered, if you must eat, then dine in is the only option. This is not meant to be snooty in any way. The pace of the meal and the attention they provide to each diner is part of the whole culture. It felt like I was eating in a friend’s home. Polite and friendly, yet still relaxing and warm. The food just added to the whole experience.

this place is definitely worth a visit and then some! I had been eyeing this place for a while, but never had them opportunity because COVID-19 got real, but luckily they opened soon after NYC started allowing dine-in at the end of last month, just in time for the first year anniversary for the wife and I! this place is the real deal when it comes to fresh authentic Japanese cuisine! the sashimi was so fresh that it melted in the mouth… the owner was kind and accommodating, as well as extra cautious during these troubled times. I’m not sure you can find a better Japanese sushi place in Forest Hills or Queens for that matter!

This is one of the most exceptional restaurants I have ever been to in my life. The atmosphere is like no other, and the pride they take in their work is like no other. The food, is incredibly fresh, and the presentation is always perfect. Every time I come here it tastes better. Highly recommended.

All the food was above average. My wife is Japanese and very critical of Japanese food in the states. Service was on par as well. We will be returning to try the other stuff.

My wife introduced me to katsuno a few years back and we still keep it for special occasions. This time around we both got the black miso soup which was heavenly, and we shared the larger shashimi platter. The fish was great, my wife wasn’t a fan of the Toro, which just meant more for me. We usually order some sort of sushi or sashimi but were interested in other newer looking menu items that we are excited to try on our next visit. Adding a picture of the exterior as it is kind of easy to walk past but definitely worth it once in.
