Fresh and delicious sushi but not a good value. The $33 chirashi had a very atypical presentation and looked like sashimi bento with over-vinegared rice. The sashimi smelled and tasted fresh. However, I wish the portion can be bigger.

There are 3 Sushi restaurants in Plainview including this one. This is the newest one. Now I know 1% of you are sushi freaks and KNOW the real deal. The fish here is very fresh and the staff are beyond nice!!! I ate hamachi kama, fish eggs in every color & Australian Oysters which were delicious but pricey @ $8 each. ENJOY!

I lived in Japan and know quality fish. Kinben is one of the best sushi spots on LI and the chef/owner is the best! If you have not tried Kinben and live in Syosset, Plainview, Bethpage or Hicksville, you need to try Kinben. You will not be sorry!

Hands down my favorite sushi restaurant in Long Island! Kinben always has the freshest sushi/sashimi and the omakase is on point (as pictured). The staff at Kinben are extremely friendly and welcoming and the prices are comparable for the Plainview area. I’ve been going to Kinben for date night for the past two years. With all of the quality sushi Kinben offers, I wouldn’t choose any other sushi restaurant over this one. I am looking fwd to many omakase nights for years to come .

I eat sushi, I eat A LOT of sushi and nobody does it like Adam at Kinben. From NY to LA and a lot of place in between I have never tasted a better omakase or a better Taco.

Last night was our 4th time on Kinben sushi, which has now become our new local sushi spot. We usually have to travel 20 minutes for sushi so we are very excited to have a this local spot to go with our 2 young kids who love sushi! The sushi is super fresh and amazing. My 6 year old daughter loves the sushi nori tacos! The waitress heard it was her birthday, and went out of her way to make her tempura fried Oreos and get a a candle. They were amazing. I highly recommend this sushi spot!
