    We had a wonderful dining experience at YOLO . The staff was incredibly attentive and professional, making sure we felt welcome and well taken care of throughout our meal. Gabby, our waitress, was exceptional—friendly, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to make our time there enjoyable. The entire team demonstrated impressive courtesy and professionalism, which really enhanced our experience. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning!

    Takato never disappoints. Food and staff were amazing. We had lamb chops,sea bass, kimchi fried rice, shrimp fried rice, California roll, spicy tuna roll, yellowtail sashimi, machine, chocolate lava cake, specialty martini, cosmo, and a spicy margarita. Everything was amazing. The only bad part is this place seems to attract screaming kids with entitled parents with no regard and don't do anything. Not that the restaurant can help that but it is frustrating and definitely has an effect on the ambiance. Regardless, this is definitely one of the top restaurants in Ft. Lauderdale with amazing sushi and so much more.

    The service was amazing. The food was amazing. I had the shrimp and scallop risotto. It’s always excellent and we share the dessert of the crème brûlée bread pudding. It was the best I’ve ever had.
