An Asian fusion restaurant has opened its first Long Island location (with a second storefront already lined up) to the acclaim of diners near and far.

Mito Modern Japanese Cuisine + Lounge, located at 476 Smith Haven Mall in Lake Grove, celebrated its opening in April 2023, taking over a former P.F. Chang’s in the Smith Haven Mall.

In the few months since it's been serving customers, the modern Japanese restaurant has impressed the Long Island food scene.

“YESSSSSSS. Yes,” wrote Michele L. of Ronkonkoma on Yelp, “I have no reason to go out for Japanese food anywhere else now.”

Michele tried the kani salad, which she dubbed “the best I have ever had by far” and splurged to try a wagyu beef sushi with truffle salt.
