| 110 Japan in Huntington Station is a food lovers dream. Whether you prefer sushi, hibachi, a solid happy hour or quick takeout – this spot should be on your go-to list. 110 Japan succeeds at fusing classic Japanese ingredients within adventurous appetizers and savory entrées. The menu at 110 Japan offers something for everyone, whether you prefer the hibachi experience or a simple sushi bar exchange. The Shrimp and Avocado Salad with Miso Yuzu Sauce is refreshingly tart and works as a refined starter. If you’re a seafood fanatic, opt for the Komodo Oysters, straight from Japan, served with Ponzu, Onion Salsa and Mango Salsa. I also strongly suggest the Boneless Roasted Duck – served with a cucumber, lime mint & hoisin reduction. My personal preference for the entrée is Chirashi – a variety of fish over sushi rice. If I’m feeling particularly hungry, I’ll opt for the 110 Japan Fusion Sushi Platter – 10 pieces of sushi, served with five different chef inspired toppings and sauces. Don’t worry – if you’re more of a sushi roll officianato, they have an entire list of classic and specialty rolls. While my friends prefer the Golden Box Roll (Tuna, White Tuna, Avocado & Crunch Topped with Sliced Mango & Gold Flakes), I personally enjoy the Amazing Tuna Roll (Spicy Tuna and Avocado topped with Seared Tuna, Spicy Mayo, Wasabi Mayo & Eel Sauce). If you’re into Hibachi – you’re in luck. This place dedicates a large portion of their square footage to the hibachi experience. The menu encompasses your go-to orders such as chicken, steak, shrimp and filet mignon, though I personally prefer the scallops. All orders come with clear soup, green salad, 2 pcs hibachi shrimp cooked together, hibachi vegetables & steamed white rice. The experience itself is worth mentioning, as these hibachi chefs are highly trained and extremely entertaining. I have visited the hibachi tables on three occasions and was never left underwhelmed. Be prepared for sake shooting contests, onion towers engulfed in flames, and air bound pieces of broccoli being launched toward your mouth. (All in good fun, of course.) Lastly, their happy hour. My favorite aspect of this hidden gem. Yummy cocktails, discounted appetizers, sushi rolls, and a fun, energetic ambiance. I opt for the Saketini, or a cold Sapporo. For food, I’ll start with Gyoza, and end with some classic rolls such as Yellowtail Scallion or Tuna Cucumber. If you’re a fan of happy hour, you should visit this one as soon as possible – it’s awesome. For one-of-a-kind cocktails, sushi rolls and entrees, the hibachi experience or simply a solid happy hour, check out 110 Japan in Huntington Station… you won’t regret it. |
