Hidden just off Cold Spring Road, Arata Sushi is a stylish little gem that brings bold, imaginative Japanese flavors to the Syosset dining scene. It’s a modern spot with clean lines, subtle lighting, and an atmosphere that’s equal parts casual and refined — perfect for everything from quiet solo dinners to lively evenings with friends.

Inside, the layout is minimalist and intentional. Every table feels like its own little space, and the sushi bar gives guests a front-row seat to the precision and artistry of the chefs behind the counter. It’s a space designed to let the food do the talking — and it does.

The menu strikes a balance between classic and contemporary. You’ll find all the staples — tuna, salmon, yellowtail — prepared with care and attention to texture and balance. But the highlights are in the signature rolls and seasonal creations. Think crispy kale paired with spicy tuna, seared fish draped over perfectly rolled maki, and inventive garnishes that make each bite feel special. Everything is plated with a modern aesthetic and delivered with understated flair.

Service is fast but never rushed. The staff is knowledgeable, polite, and always ready to walk newcomers through the menu or offer a recommendation for something offbeat and delicious.

Arata draws a local, loyal crowd — a mix of sushi regulars, adventurous eaters, and families who’ve made it part of their weekly routine. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or making a night of it, Arata delivers quality, consistency, and just enough edge to keep you coming back.
