The 10 Best Restaurants in Fort Lauderdale Beach in Broward County | Eater Miami

"It stands for Sun, Surf, Sand... But we need to reserve an “S” for Scrumptious. It’s an upscale vibe with a killer daily happy hour that you can enjoy from its fire pit area. S3’s weekend brunch is a winner, too, with a bottomless champagne bar with Moet."

Love all the dishes we ordered at S3, all executed with precision and carefully plated, yet full of flavor . The cocktails 🍹 🍸 were perfectly crafted and by far the best we have had of all the restaurants we’ve visited here in Fort Lauderdale. Service is on point, thank you Cameron, and outdoor frontview of the beach is just breathtaking. We will definitely make a second visit before going back home to California. And yet, we made our second visit and we couldn’t be happier!!! We were served by Joshua and the dream team. We love the nigiri 🍣 cocktails 🍸 were perfect and consistent. Thank you for the amazing experience and hospitality. We will tell all our friends and family to visit!!!

I went there with a group of coworkers to celebrate the end of the year, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The drinks were amazing, the food was exquisite, and the service was outstanding. Add in the beautiful ocean view, and it was the perfect setting. We will definitely be back.

Overall we had a great lunch, and I would probably come back but while the food was tasty - there are a lot of areas of opportunity. The octopus starter had maybe less than 100gr of octopus, it seemed like a joke. The poke bowl had way too much rice, the tacos were served without a plate (difficult to eat). We also had to wait a bit to be seated although we had a reservation.

The atmosphere at S3 (Sun Surf Sand) is great — beautiful beach views, refreshing vibe inside, and excellent service. Our server Devin was super positive, attentive, and made the evening enjoyable. Drinks were also really good. 🍹✨ However, the food itself was disappointing. The sushi fell apart easily and tasted very average — I would rate it around 4/10. We also ordered the chicken ramen, but it was extremely salty. Overall, I’d give this place a 3/5: amazing atmosphere and service, but the food definitely needs improvement.

Great setting overlooking the beach. Terrific server and loved the small touches : the expanding hand towels bathed in hot lemon grass water, the wagyu carpaccio served under a hood w smoke! Very large thai salad was great for sharing. Good value for quality and experience. Good range of wines by the glass.

The food here was amazing! I started with the Mamasita cocktail with patron reposado tequila and strawberry, which was super refreshing. Then I had the goat cheese croquettes with guava – crispy, creamy, and so good. For my main dish, I tried the Dynamite Roll, and wow… one of the best sushi rolls I’ve ever had. The pear gave it such a unique and tasty flavor. The only downside to my experience was the hostess, who had a noticeably bad attitude and was not welcoming at all. But the server made up for it – super nice and really attentive. Overall, the food was delicious, and I’d definitely come back again.

Ordered the goat cheese croquettes and monkey bread as starters and loved them! For main dish, I had the Omakase, which was delicious apart from the octopus (overdone). Other than that, nice restaurant and beautiful atmosphere. Will be back!

I dined at S3 last night for the first time with family. There were a few hiccups with our dining experience but we had the absolute BEST waitress…SIERRA. The food was delicious! I’ll definitely be back!

I was fortunate enough to have dined at the sushi bar, traveling solo, in a busy Saturday night and had my omakase meal made by Michelin sushi Chef Pham. I asked if he recommend the surf & turf and another nigiri or the omakase. He said omakase. Asked him which one, nigiri (for $3 more) because it had more flavor. And wow was it one of the best sushi meals to date. The staff knew what every single piece was and how it was flavored, and you eat it from light fish to dark, ending with wagyu. He came from SF 2 years ago and is now responsible for all 11 restaurants in the family. Was great to sit at the sushi counter to chat with him. What a treat, truly. The staff was extremely attentive and superb. I did start with the edamame which was good but not to my flavor palette. Too spicy for me, and a bit too soft. I ordered the bag of donuts of course and they were great. Took 5 out of 7 to go because they said it stays well the next day! Get the omakase box. $68 is very fairly priced made by Chef Pham (at least that evening, I got lucky). Get a reservation. It's busy, with plenty of seating. There's outdoor seating and a circular bar at the entrance.

This place used to be much better. Sure, the buzzy vibe is the same as always. But last time I checked, restaurants were places you visited to eat. And the eating has gone way downhill. To be honest, we should have realized that something had changed when our server offered an entire dissertation on the drinks list, recommending most of the priciest options. But when the food came, it gave away the game. Everything was so salty and acidic that it practically screamed, "WE WANT YOU TO ORDER MORE DRINKS." Not that the food would have tasted particularly good without the extra salt and acid. The Korean fried chicken bites weren't crispy, nor did they bear any traces of Korean flavors. The Thai salad was mainly a mix of mushy avocado and raw cabbage. At least the rest of our order, including some correctly cooked salmon, rose to the level of "meh." We were seated promptly, our server was trying hard, and the prices weren't unusual for this area. But I doubt our tradition of coming here on our first night in Fort Lauderdale will last any longer.

Happy Hour at S3 is a must. The customer service was great. The food was delicious and came out quickly. The drinks were the cherry on top of a great experience. We visited in a rainy day and were unable to sit at the bar for happy hour. The manager was very accommodating and we were able to sit on the side away from the rain and still participate in happy hour. Our server was very patient and engaging. We definitely went with her recommendations on drinks (not pictured sadly). We will be back to try the regular menu and definitely happy hour.

Always a good time at S3 The music is perfect the ambiance and service is always good and the food is delicious. We went after our hockey game and had a great time I even had some New Yorkers say wow. The edamame is delicious and highly recommended the burrata we had to get two plates of this app although the last time I was there the tomato was more fresh and crispy...The octopus is delicious but honestly it was too much bean and not enough octopus (it felt like the beans overpowered the octopus). The spicy tuna crispy rice was warm when it came out and had a great spice level. The dynamite roll was amazing and the salmon poke bowl was incredible. If you want great food and good vibes definitely go here.

We are staying close by within walking distance looking for a spot. I'm so glad we came upon this restaurant! We were greeted by the waitress seated immediately we got to sit outside on the patio. It was really nice. I enjoyed the water. I was so dehydrated. I enjoyed just the water that they provided for me.Lol we ordered appetizers, and a few drinks. Service was great our waitress was amazing. She really was.! She knew full descriptions of everything.. The atmosphere was great overlooking the beach, even though it sun was sitting. Can't wait to come back in a few months.

From the food and drinks to the service and atmosphere, S3 was such a great experience. The food & drinks were delicious . The happy hour selection is exceptional. Would definitely revisit. Especially for there weekend brunch.

Fort Lauderdale-WOWZA!!! This place sits right on the corner of one of the best views! We had the ocean right in our face the entire time. Loved it! It was raining, and our waitress asked us if we would like to sit outside. We happily said yes. The weather was just a little bit of a pain, and the wind had really come up, but the view could not be beat. We had a non-alcoholic, Sun-kissed Sipper, and a Hibiscus Kiss cocktail. Both were phenomenal. Our waitress recommended that we try the goat cheese balls. They were cooked perfectly and had a delicious guava jelly to dip. We had the Tuna poke plate along with a Lucky sushi roll. There is a very interesting tasting leaf in the Lucky roll. It's called madai. The waitress let me taste this leaf before I ordered my roll. It is an interesting combination between mint, spicy, cilantro, cumin, and possibly soap!!! lol You need to try it before you order, because some people do not like this item. I thought it was tasty! Presentation was really beautiful and the food tasted fresh and delicious. Definitely a spot to hang out, have drinks, and enjoy some delicious food on a beautiful sunny day. We will be back when the weather is better so we can enjoy the outdoor area to the fullest!

Came here for a bachelor party dinner, and it was outstanding. With beach views, and the open kitchen concept makes this also a great date night spot! Aesthetic & Ambience: 8.5/10 a bit more on the fun modern side. Lot of unique designs with plenty of seating at the bar. Ambiance is a 8/10 its quiet, but can kick up volume quickly. Service: 9/10 our server was amazing, unfortunately I can't remember their name, but they was awesome and even recommended my favorite cocktail which isn't even listed on the menu. They also recommended the Chilean sea bass, and it was a good pick. Korean fried chicken: 8.5/10 chicken thighs fried and coated with a gochujang sauce. It's not spicy. Grilled Caesar: 9/10 very delicious and light. I rarely find grilled salads, but this one had edamame and a freshly shaved parmesan. Goat cheese croquettes: 8.5/10 it was really good, however goat cheese does have a bit stronger of a flavor profile, but the guava sweetness was perfect combo. Chilean sea bass: 8/10 pretty good, was a bit more on the dry side with the sear on the top. There's no skin, and it's deboned!

Nerina B.

Yelp

One of my favorite restaurants across the Ft Lauderdale beach. Service is very good. The food is excellent . The Dragon roll- fresh and good Sea bass Special- omg, melt in your mouth. So tender, with a nice crust on the outside. It was so delicious and delicate. Very flavorful. The Farrotto was very good as well. Korean Fried Chicken - Very flavorful, they were small bites, but very tasty. Very good. Lamb- was good, nice flavor. Not overpowering Highly recommend.

Sun, Surf, & Sand (S3) on Fort Lauderdale beach @s3sunsurfsand 10/10 spot S3 makes our favorite cocktails & seafood in Fort Lauderdale, you can never go wrong with one of their sushi rolls (fish sourced directly from Japan!), meat dishes, or martinis : ~ Salmon Bowl (Glazed Salmon * White Rice * Pickled Onion * Cucumber * Pickled Ginger * Seaweed Salad * Arare Pearls * Avocado Crema) ~ New York Strip 14 oz (black garlic yakiniku glaze, kimchi guava shishito peppers) ~ Angry Hamachi Roll (Furikake * Jalapeño * Togarashi * Shiso * Spicy Mayo) ~ Crispy Rice Cakes with Ora King Salmon ~ Frites ~ Wok Charred Edamame ~ Chocolate Chip Blondie (Large Toll House Style Cookie * Walnuts * Vanilla Bean Gelato * Butterscotch) ~ Dirty Martini (best martini in fort laud, served ice cold and extra dirty with bleu cheese olives)

Beatrice M.

Yelp

Great service last night. We chose about 5 small plates and shared an entree. My date doesnt drink so he opted for a cocktail and I had their martini. My favorite dish tonight was the perfectly cooked bang bang shrimp, then the grilled Caesar and New York strip. We walked there so no parking issues and we did not have a reservation and opted for inside seating.

Cosmo G.

Yelp

Stumbled upon this restaurant while we were in Fort Lauderdale. Ambiance was great. Service was amazing. Food was good. The octopus I ordered was good but not what I was expecting flavor wise. Fried rice was yummy! Good place to grab a bite as it's conveniently located near the beach.

Lady at front desk was very rude and said that they don't cater to children for dinner Ordered monkey garlic bread and waitress never brought it but was on the bill

Phenomenal!! We hosted my graduation dinner here at S3, for a party of 20, and everyone had a fantastic time! Let's talk about the atmosphere first. Ambiance was fantastic, we were seated at a large combined table with ample space. Lighting was great and we loved the excellent service by our wait staff team. The menu was pre-selected and the wait staff did a phenomenal job timing the arrival of food such that we had ample time to enjoy our drinks and chat prior to digging in. We first had the edamame and korean fried chicken, followed by some salmon, grilled octopus, one of the best churascco steak I've ever had, shrimp noodles, and to close it out, a delicious, velvety soft double chocolate cake. I would highly recommend S3 to my family and friends without any hesitation. They are a great place to host celebratory dinners!!

Tiffany Z.

Great location across from the beach. Very nice outdoor area to relax or sit properly at a table. Service was good and fast. The food is good as well, about middle ground. The cocktails use a mix of fresh juices such as passion fruit or mango.

Robert S.

Yelp

We had a great meal at S3. I pulled into the valet parking area and I asked about getting a charge while I dining. They gladly took care of getting my car charged while dining. We got a nice table by the window overlooking A1A and the beach. We started with an Omakase box (supreme) and every one of the sushi pieces was like butter....nice, full of flavor and delicious. We got a Korean Fried Chicken and each piece of the boneless chicken bites was excellent...we asked for sauce on the side. My grilled octopus was very tender and served with some large beans in a bowl. My husband's eggs benedict were delicious. My niece got the A5 Surf and Turf and she loved the blend of flavors. Overall a great experience. I just wished our server had a bit of a more friendly and smiley customer service attitude...it was fine, but not great.... Valet parking with the S3 validation was $9.

I was at this restaurant for lunch about 6 years ago. I wanted to surprise Max for our 31st anniversary. We booked an awesome room at the hotel and "swam" over to this restaurant for brunch. The view of the ocean is spectacular, but what is more spectacular is the service and food. Max loved the sushi. I told our waiter that only one restaurant made Eggs Benedict for me that was my top pick for 31 years. No one could top the restaurant in the French Quarter in New Orleans. The restaurant closed many years ago and I was heartbroken. The Eggs Benedict at S3 jump started my heart and this dish now takes the place of Petunias. Rest in peace Petunias, your life lives on at S3.

I would show my drink, but I drink it. So I can't. I disnt have food but the menu looks cool, and Armerelo Sours I had were Fire. Get here before I get back

Food: 5/5 I visited S3 with a few of my coworkers. We tried the sushi, duck, rice, noodles, and desserts. Everything with fresh, flavorful, and presented nicely. Portions were modest but ok for sharing tapas style. The coconut cake was a large portion and very good. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was attentive, even on a busy night. Some of the dishes came served on large platters that took up a lot of table space, but our waitress did a good job keeping the table tidy. Cleanliness: 4/5 It seemed fairly clean although I will note that our table was noticeably sticky. This is likely partially due to humidity but also due to the varnish breaking down because of improper cleaning chemicals that are too harsh. Not a big deal at most restaurants, but for the price point, I would expect some of these details to be a little tighter. Atmosphere: 5/5 The resturant had a nice vibe and decor. It was super busy, even on a weekday. The patio was full with a large group. Value: 3/5 We racked up a large tab but I think most people would find the menu in line with Fort Lauderdale full service restaurants, which is higher than most other areas in the US. Overall, I had a positive experience.

Amazing surf and turf roll! So fresh and so amazing. We love this place! My review needs at least 85 characters more to post this review.

Mary W.

Yelp

S3 is just a few steps from the hotel we're staying at... The inside is nice, but we opted for sitting outside as it was a lovely day. After being seated, we were told that the waitress would be right over... a good twenty five minutes went by and no one came to our table, so we flagged down a worker to get service. A waitress stops by and takes our order... more waiting... First the edamame, which was very tasty! I'd definitely order this again. The charred flavor and the seasoning is perfection. Next out was the spicy tuna roll, which was also very tasty and elevated to the next level with the sauce from the edamame-- absolutely delicious! If not for the excessive waiting with zero acknowledgement, this would be 5 stars easy!

Wendy D.

Yelp

My fiance and I are in town from NY to scuba dive. We had dinner here. Spicy tuna roll, surf and turf, and Thai tuna roll, octopus, and goat cheese balls (forgot the name of them). The octopus was fantastic. And the sushi was good. The outdoor seating was nice and they had light house music playing. Overall it was a great experience. My only negative remark was that service was very slow. We were there for a long time. That's the only reason I'm giving 4 starts instead of 5.

Larry G.

Yelp

Another amazing experience filled with exemplary flavors and service. This time from Anthony, Cassidy, and I got to meet Janan - all so dedicated to their service. So knowledgeable about the menu and the various components to each item. I got the nigiri box which was SO DELICIOUS. Some of the highlights include the toro, aged wagyu with foie...unreal. Extra bonus...I don't drink alcohol but I told them the things I like to drink and they made me a mocktail that was sublime.

Jonathan B.

Yelp

Summary: Good but not great sushi, very good service, pleasant patio environment Details: Hamachi tiradito: fresh flavorful hamachi but the best of the ingredients didn't quite work. Not enough truffle ponzu. Suggest leaving the Jalapeño in place for longer so flavors mix. Bluefin toro sashimi: two excellent pieces. Fatty (as it should be) and melts in your mouth. Unagi (BBQ eel): good bordering on very good. Lucky roll: crab and snapper with some avocado. Light and summer but not much flavor. I didn't taste any of the garlic truffle. Dynamite roll: shrimp tempura with fake (?) crab. Spicy eel sauce and mayo amp up the dish. Eh. Lots of speciality cocktails. Not many choices of wine by the glass. All of the waitstaff were very pleasant and helpful. Good choice if you can get a seat with a view. Otherwise better choices nearby

Kimmoi C.

Visited this restaurant couple days ago on a weekday afternoon and enjoyed my experience. The menu was extensive, didn't really know what to order so I decided that we should just get some appetizers and just had a nice fried rice and steak bowl and chatted over drinks.

Mike And Susan M.

Yelp

Great people, food and decor. Endamme is the best we've eaten. Coconut cake is a must if you love dessert and should come with a warning about size. Amazing welcoming outdoor bar area. Service is always excellent!

Alyssa C.

Yelp

We decided to order a bunch of random stuff and share it. Everything came out quickly and was delicious. The menu has a great variety of options and a good mix of seafood and non seafood options. Their specials all sounded delicious but the appetizer special sold out so we weren't able to try it but we did like the entree special which was the salmon. Our server was amazing and attentive. She checked on us throughout the night and was quick to bring out our drinks from the bar. We sat on the patio which was perfect for a summer evening. The team does move fast when the evening showers come in.

Lindsay M.

Yelp

This place is top notch right near the beach. perfect sitting area inside and out amazing food and sushi. The portion is s so good cooked to perfection nice staff. I got so much variety of sushi and shrimp they have a large menu of food and drinks. Denis is the best bartender. When you go sit at the bar. I let him pick my drink options with the variety. Of flavors I like. And I was amazed at how good they were they were perfectly made with flavor and never water down. It's a must go. Place for date nights. And the manger checked on us as well

Lindsay M.

Yelp

We were staying at the Hilton Beach Resort and our flight got in late. We didn't get to check in until 8:45, so we thought why not give the hotel restaurant a try. I am so glad we did! We loved our food. We sat at the outside bar and it was such a lovely night and so much fun seeing the atmosphere of Ft Lauderdale at night. We ordered the chicken appetizer, side order of onion rings and the side order of the lo mien. The chicken was amazing and I would order it every single time. We also got the doughnut dessert...most adorably and delicious way to end the night!

Kavitha P.

Yelp

Went here on a whim when visiting from out of town Loved the food and vibe here!! Highlights- Bang bang shrimp- prob the best I've ever tasted Lucky roll sushi was so fresh and delicious The filet was just okay- didn't like the sauce it came with, the duck fat onion rings were delicious and plentiful Cocktails were great Service is good- we had a new server but he seems to know what he was doing

Ashur S.

Yelp

Just had the dinner at S3. Menu wasn't great. Service was good however 4 out of 5 us received their food 15 mins before the kids burger arrived. If anyone of you is dining with children you know the pressure of getting all the kids food if not first, at least at the same time. Frustrating we all received all the food and had to wait 15 more mins for a tiny burger for the kid. Most likely won't come back with the family.

Amanda A.

Yelp

This was my second time eating here, and excited to go back because I really enjoyed my first time here. However, I was kind of let down by the food this time. I ordered the cheeseburger, and it came out overcooked and with cold fries. Hopefully, it was just one-off bad experience.

Taylor A.

Yelp

Nice restaurant with chill vibes and a lot of sushi options on the menu. I highly recommend their drinks, especially the Berry Breeze! It was very refreshing and hit the spot. While the atmosphere and drinks are great, it is a little pricey for the food they serve. The sushi (and fried rice) were good, but I would expect more for how much they charge. I do recommend the Monkey Bread as the app--super soft bread and garlicy.

Jess H.

Yelp

Wow, I'm blown away by this place. The atmosphere is top notch. We sat inside but you can sit outside and have the cool ocean breeze. The service was phenomenal and our server was so attentive. Not only is the atmosphere amazing, the food was top quality. We had a sushi roll, octopus and pork ribs. Wow wow and wow! This will not be the last time we go! Go check this place out. It's definitely worth it.

Lucy A.

Yelp

I loved this restaurant. We went here to celebrate our niece's birthday and had such a great time and brunch. We ordered the bottomless mimosas and loved the fresh orange juice and strawberry juice and fruit. We also ordered the roasted peppers andburrata cheese, which I think was my favorite thing. I ordered the shrimp &grits , which was fantastic. My husband ordered the huevos rancheros and he loved them. We also ordered a sushi appetizer. Everything was delicious. The service was fantastic and the ambience cannot be beat. Definitely will go back to this great place!

Sara D.

Yelp

This is the restaurant inside the Hilton Beach House hotel in Ft. Lauderdale. We were tired and did not want to go outside the hotel for dinner. But WOW what surprise it was. Both the food and the service were divine. The food had a varied menu including sushi (and sushi bar) and other small bites as well as entrees. We split a few things, and it is probably one of the best meals I have had in a hotel. We shared edamame, Thai salad, and Korean chicken pieces. You will not be disappointed.

Banu S.

Yelp

this place was wonderful. Went with some work friends. The food from start to finish was on par. I was having so much fun that I did not take any pictures or pay much attention. But I do wanna say I enjoyed the service and the ambience.

Walked here because it was highly recommended. Great variety and our server, Chris H. was very informative and lots of knowledge of the chef. We will be returning to enjoy good sushi again.

In town for a day before heading on a cruise and staying at the hotel the restaurant is attached to . The food was excellent and recommended by the staff of the hotel . I was able to make a reservation for inside dining fairly quickly and no wait to be seated . It was loud , but a great atmosphere . The Bowls and excellent and the sushi was good . The staff were friendly and pleasant. I'd go back and recommend to others .

Chelsea M.

I went specifically for the burratta and was not disappointed! It was massive, fresh, and filled me up for a light lunch. Service was exceptional and just an all around pleasant experience

Donnalyn B.

Tried their Dine Out Lauderdale menu and I was impressed! I ordered their Salmon bowl and the crispy rice. Everything was tasty and service was good! Would definitely return.

Analisa K.

Yelp

I came early enough to find convenient parking which isn't always easy near the beach. I chose a table in their covered outside seating area which offered a beautiful beach view. See my pics for the delicious menu options I chose which I would again (goat cheese croquettes & dragon roll). Service was efficient and professional. Following my meal, I walked across the street for some beach therapy. I think I just might make this a monthly thing!

Bee D.

Yelp

Randomly stopped here for a drink while walking the beach. The vibe is chill and the drinks were good.

Gabriela Z.

Yelp

AMAZING!! Everything was SO good! Arrowhead roll, dynamite, and dragon rolls were all so good. Edamame was delicious. Had a charred flavor with a soy sauce on top. I've had better crispy rice but it was still very good. Fried rice was delicious! Drinks were all delicious. We had the Sun, Hibiscus Kiss, and espresso martinis. All very good. Service was wonderful! Sever was so sweet and attentive. Ambiance was great. We sat outside by the heaters. Great intimate vibes. Food and drinks was also very affordable. It was tapas style I would say. We will definitely revisit this place next time we're in Fort Lauderdale.

Tracy M.

Yelp

This was our first time here. It was busy and a little on the loud side. Service was friendly. There were a lot of options on the menu. We had the octopus as an appetizer which was pretty good, but we would've liked more octopus and less of the beans, tomatoes, etc that it came with. The duck was delicious and cooked perfectly. The presentation for the lobster was pretty fancy. The ribs were ok; not as good as I thought they'd be tho. The location with the view of the beach were nice.

Katie K.

Yelp

Quite expensive. But verrrrryyy good. I went here for a bachelorette party and we ordered one of every sushi roll... what a fun time. Everyone had a different favorite roll but we agreed that they were all good! The appetizers were also sooo good. THE EDAMAME. I'm still thinking about it. The bang bang shrimp and the Korean fried chicken bites were also delicious. We also got fancy cocktails as one does while celebrating the bride to be and they were also good. We sat outside hoping for a nice view of the water but we were on the ground floor so it wasn't that spectacular... and it started down-pouring towards the end of the meal. But that doesn't go against the restaurant itself. If I find myself in the area again and have a few extra bucks to spend I'd definitely go back

Rachel B.

Yelp

This is a restaurant you will want to try everything on the menu. In fact, this was so true for us that we returned the next evening with friends to experience items we were too full for the night before. The food is off the charts delicious, while the environment is a curated masterpiece. Stay cool inside with comfortable seating and flawless decor, or enjoy the ocean view on their large patio. The Caesar salad was absolutely the best take on a caesar salad I've ever had. No where near traditional, but boasted flavor, texture and presentation. We tried a few Izakaya dishes and sushi rolls, all were phenomenal. In our party of 5, there were no complaints, only ooh's and ahh's from the scrumptious main courses ordered. There is no doubt this restaurant serves high quality ingredients and focuses on the details. Whether it's the food, the service or the ambiance - S3 is an example of what every restaurant should strive to be.

Walked here because it was highly recommended. Great variety and our server, Chris H. was very informative and lots of knowledge of the chef. We will be returning to enjoy good sushi again.

I went specifically for the burratta and was not disappointed! It was massive, fresh, and filled me up for a light lunch. Service was exceptional and just an all around pleasant experience

Tried their Dine Out Lauderdale menu and I was impressed! I ordered their Salmon bowl and the crispy rice. Everything was tasty and service was good! Would definitely return.
