Mito is a neighborhood-favorite Asian fusion and sushi restaurant at 64-18 108th St in Forest Hills, known for its sleek, red-hued dining room and approachable, crowd-pleasing menu. The atmosphere skews contemporary and loungey—dim lighting, crimson accents, and upbeat music—making it a comfortable choice for casual nights out, celebratory dinners, and small group gatherings. The menu spans Japanese and pan-Asian favorites: a broad selection of classic and specialty sushi rolls, sashimi and nigiri, crispy rock shrimp, gyoza, teriyaki and katsu plates, yaki udon and noodle dishes, and shareable sushi boats. Guests frequently highlight fresh fish, generous portions, and fast, friendly service, alongside a cocktail list featuring lychee martinis, sake, Japanese beers, and wine. For private dining, Mito accommodates intimate events in a semi-private rear dining area that can be configured for small celebrations like birthdays, family gatherings, and team dinners. The room’s flexible layout allows pushed-together tables for communal dining or distinct tables for a more relaxed setup, and groups can pre-order platters or prix fixe menus built around sushi boats, popular rolls, appetizers, and noodles. Larger parties can explore a partial- or full-buyout of the main dining room during select times, giving access to the full bar and service team. Amenities for events typically include a dedicated server, the option to bring a celebratory cake, and vegetarian-friendly menu planning; staff are accustomed to accommodating dietary needs on request. With fair pricing, reliable takeout and delivery, and a comfortable, modern ambiance, Mito offers a practical, neighborhood-driven option for private dining and small-group events in Forest Hills.
