One more Japanese restaurant joins the bustling Garden City dining scene. What’s a little unusual about the opening of the new Kaji Sushi & Lounge is that it's almost next door to another sashimi spot, Sushi Ya Japanese Restaurant.
While Kaji offers several hibachi-style entrees ($11-$38), they are made in the kitchen, not at communal tables in the dining room. Also on the menu: black pepper tuna tataki ($11), spicy tuna gyoza ($10), a Kaji roll made with lobster tempura ($15), salmon teriyaki ($18) and rack of lamb ($26).
Kaji Sushi & Lounge is at 935 Franklin Ave., Garden City, 516-500-9510, kajisushiny.com.
