Last Updated: February 2026
Our Top Pick
Ooi Sushi and Bar
High-volume proof with consistently clean rolls and nigiri in central LIC.
Notable Picks
8.4
A high-volume LIC sushi bar that wins on clean, fresh fish and a menu that works equally well for rolls, sashimi, and a casual sit-down with drinks. It’s most reliable when you lean into their core sushi execution and keep the order balanced between nigiri and one signature roll.
Must-Try Dishes:
Ooi Roll, Volcano Roll, Omakase
What makes it special: High-volume proof with consistently clean rolls and nigiri in central LIC.
Worthy Picks
7.6
Primarily a ramen destination, but it earns a spot here for its rice-and-burger section when you want a burger-like bite that’s still in a Japanese comfort-food lane. The experience is strongest when you treat the burger as a supporting player to a bowl, not the whole reason you came.
Must-Try Dishes:
Rice Burger, Honeycomb Platter, Tonkotsu Ramen
What makes it special: Ramen-first spot with a legit rice-burger option and standout interior booths.
