    Amazing birthday dinner with my husband! Service 10/10 and food was delish. DJ created awesome vibes, love the decor and ambiance. Only thing I would recommend is to have a cashless option to purchase hookah.

    I expected more traditional raw fish sushi options. The menu didn't have accurate descriptions for all rolls. Neat atmosphere but underwhelmed with food experience.

    Food tasted great. We were a party of 4 each meal came out sepperately with about 30min in between of each meal. By the time we all had our food on the table some where cold already. The kitchen and server should wait until everyones plate is ready and deliver the food together.

    Food was great , drinks was good. Love the sushi , fried rice , steak skewers . The calamari was not seasoned but everything else was great. I always go to the Miami location, but the Ft Lauderdale location did its job ! Service was not the best, honestly it’s a walk in place and didn’t matter if you make reservations or not. I had to ask a few bartenders for a host to get seated. Overall food and ambience was great !
