Daikon Sushi Bar: Fresh, Artistic Sushi and Innovative Japanese-Italian Fusion in Forest Hills, NY

Fantastic experience! New chef Momo was amazing and the sushi was top notch! I'll definitely come back here for more of the Sashimi!

What a hidden spot! The sushi here is incredibly fresh and delicious. The chef takes his time with each piece, and you can feel the dedication in every detail. It’s truly a work of art — both in how it looks and how it tastes.

I’ll start with the very few negatives I have to get them out of the way because I did really enjoy the food here and my time. The truffle fries were a bit flavorless and only had the slightest hint of truffle. The Mac and cheese was also a bit bland but still decent and did not skimp on the cheese. Lastly, the drinks were so watered down. My friend and I both thought that our drinks legit had water in them. For the $16 and up per cocktail, I want a drink that packs a punch. On to the positive, the calamari was delicious, perfectly fried and not chewy at all. The sushi was also so delicious and I definitely recommend spending a little extra for the caviar roll as they use real caviar from Russe as I asked the server for clarification as to which one they use. For those who don’t know, a lot of restaurants will say they use “caviar” and it ends up just being roe or any fish egg without it being from the sturgeon fish. The service was perfect as our server was attentive and friendly. We skipped desert but I definitely want to be back and try their tiramisu. I also like the decor inside and the vibe of the place. Feels upscale but not to the point where it’s over the top or you feel you need to dress up. Good for casual meal with friends at a table or by yourself at the bar and also seems like a good date night option.

An incredible spot for sushi! The brunch omakase was unreal. It had to be the freshest fish I've ever had. Each bite was satisfying as the fish melts in your mouth. Every piece of sushi was a religious experience! The gyoza was a great start to the meal. To conclude the meal, we tried the tiramisu which was rich and decadent. Would recommend!

As someone who considers themselves a food critic, I can confidently say Daikon is an absolute gem not just in Queens, but in the entire NYC . Chef Momo was behind the counter, crafting each dish with a level of care and creativity that’s rare to find. My fiance was surprised with the special roll made just for her . Every bite was fresh, balanced, and bursting with flavor. I asked the chef n he blends Italian n Japanese cuisine, it’s not an easy blending two cultures in the kitchen but Daikon nails it with elegance and innovation. Whether you’re a sushi purist or someone who loves inventive, high-level cuisine, Daikon delivers. This is the kind of place you make a regular spot or travel across boroughs for. Absolutely top
