Spacious interior—perfect for groups. The decor has a fun, grungy vibe with street art and garage-style flair. Service was excellent, and the lunch specials were a standout. I ordered the three-roll sushi combo for $19, and it was both delicious and satisfying. Definitely planning to come back!

A pub-like atmosphere with a selection of affordable Japanese dishes. We tried a roll, a don, and nabe udon which I typically love. The food was not bad, but also not so great that I’m inclined to return. Maybe I’ll come back for some beer and casual eats.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5Sapps has consistently been my go-to spot for a great lychee martini - they really nail it. The food is also delicious and fresh, and the portion sizes are good. The staff is friendly and attentive, which adds to the overall experience. The ambiance is great, making it a pleasant spot to relax and enjoy a meal. I'll definitely be back and recommend it to friends and family.

Solid spot with a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of Japanese food options other than sushi! They also have a creative cocktail list. My favorite bites were the yakitori, particularly the chicken skin—so crunchy and flavorful. The crispy rice with spicy tuna was also really good. Easy walk from Queensboro/ Queens Plaza subway stops.

SAPPS is my go-to neighborhood spot in LIC whenever I’m craving sushi. Their sushi sashimi combo entree is my absolute favorite and it never disappoints. The fish is always fresh and beautifully presented. If you’re lucky, you might even get fatty tuna in both the sushi and sashimi selection, which is such a treat.I also love how accommodating the staff are. I’m not a huge fan of the eel avocado roll that comes with the combo, so I usually ask to swap it out for another roll around the same price. They’re always happy to make the change, and if you happen to choose something slightly more expensive, they’ll just charge you the difference. Super easy and chill.Another dish I always order is the takowasabi. It’s fresh, a little briny, and has the perfect amount of wasabi kick. So good.Highly recommend SAPPS if you’re in the area and looking for great contemporary Japanese food in a relaxed, friendly setting.
