Contrary to popular belief, it’s not the fish that makes a perfect sushi roll — it’s the rice.Crafting great sushi rice isn’t easy, and most places don’t quite master it.. Aiko Sushi & Bar, just a ten minute walk from the Port Washington train station, gets closer than most. Opened in 2011 and holding a 4.8-star rating on Google Review, the Main Street spot serves the best traditional sushi in Port Washington.

Aiko’s chefs pride themselves on perfecting the traditional sushi roll, with their perfectly sliced, high quality fish and delicate rice. Their rolls are consistently impressive— the spicy tuna crunch, unicorn roll with shrimp tempura, and spicy salmon avocado are must-tries. Beyond their traditional sushi, their menu includes teriyaki dishes, bento boxes, hand rolls, and other Asian cuisine, like pad thai and chicken katsu. 

The atmosphere at Aiko is calming, with soft lighting, comfortable seating, and attentive servers. The staff is always polite and willing to accommodate food allergies, even with all the moving parts to their dishes. Even with the competition Aiko faces along Main Street — Bonsai, Aki, Tiga — Aiko remains popular, due to their exceptional quality and cleanliness.

Aiko is a break from all the noisy restaurants crowding Long Island, creating room to appreciate the food rather than the company. If you like sushi and Japanese cuisine, Aiko Sushi & Bar at 90 Main Street is definitely for you. They consistently go above and beyond to ensure comfort, satisfaction, and a dining experience that feels like home.
