The subtle evening lighting and quiet surroundings give it a traditional izakaya feel, reminiscent of the renowned Ueno district in Tokyo.
What truly sets Taka Sushi apart is the exceptional quality of its fish, known for being consistently fresh and flavorful.

Taka in Westbury, New York, is a neighborhood sushi bar that delivers a genuinely authentic experience. The fish is consistently fresh and flavorful, while the rice used for the nigiri is perfectly balanced—firm without being over-pressed. It’s hands down the best sushi spot in the area. The atmosphere outside is quiet, with subtle evening lighting that evokes the feel of an izakaya in Ueno. Inside, the space is small, cozy, and distinctly Japanese, offering a warm and intimate dining experience. The only downside is that the shrimp nigiri is made with cooked shrimp, while I would prefer botan ebi instead.
Just had the omekase again. Even better fish than last time. Superb! Do the Omekase. You're going to get the freshest most flavorful fish on the most wonderful rice. Well done!!
Update: we've been here more than a handful of times now and the quality is consistent! Super fresh and delicious fish. Little hidden gem in LI. We have been to Taka twice. The quality of fish is amazing and we love how small and intimate it is. We've had the omakase both times (at the table instead of the bar) and we were impressed both times. No need to spend a ton of money going to the city!
Excellent authentic Japanese food on Long Island
