Nakata - Broad Channel

I moved out of New York a few years ago, and the food from Nakata is the only thing I miss. Nakata is the best you can get in the 5 boroughs imo. I've had Japanese food from many different places in NYC and several other states and I haven't found one that is as good. Maybe there are better places, but they are way out of my price range. For a person in the working to lower middle class, this place is where you want to go for Japanese food. I was someone who hated Japanese food until I ate here. My favourite things from the menu: eel sashimi, tiger eye, mango salad, shumai, Nakata pizza (eel), and pineapple fried rice. The staff was always very friendly and helpful (able to suggest things that I might like based on flavors I said I enjoy). They have the perfect service, there when you need them to be and letting you enjoy the food without constant interruption so you can have a conversation with your dining partner.

Nakata sushi is my favorite sushi restaurant in staten island. Their love roll with spicy mayo is to die for.

Really good place to have sushi. Very fresh, very delicious. Also good at Chinese food. Try it. Never let you down.

It's our family tradition for years to go to Nakata for our birthdays, we make reservations for the room and they never disappoint! The food and service are excellent, they're very patient with all the kids and are super friendly. We never have a bad experience dining in or ordering delivery. Fresh and tasty!

Love this place. The food is always topnotch and their reasonable. Highly recommended!
