    Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Cindy M.

    This sushi restaurant has a really fun and unique setup with floating boats carrying different colored plates around the sushi bar - definitely a cool experience visually. The sushi itself was fresh and enjoyable, and the decor added a nice touch to the atmosphere. However, there were a few downsides. The hot food items we tried came out cold, which was disappointing. Service was friendly, but not very attentive - our drinks sat empty for quite a while, even though the restaurant wasn't very busy at the time. Also, the noise level was higher than I prefer. The music was loud, and it seemed like everyone was raising their voices to talk over it, which made it hard to relax and have a conversation. Overall, it's a fun spot with good sushi, but there's definitely room for improvement in service and ambiance.

    This was my first time at a place like this and it did not disappoint. We went on a busy night but were still able to be sat right away at the sushi boat bar. Menus were given which although we didn't order from it, it was a nice reference to what we were eating. It was great to be able to watch the food get made as you can see what the freshest items were. Loved everything we ate.

    Phenomenal sushi! My friend and I unfortunately got here before the conveyer belt starts (which is after 5pm), but we ordered some sushi off the menu. My go-to, the california roll, is spot on, and my friend ordered the Red Dragon Roll and loved it. The edamame is delicious, and they also have plum wine! Definitely coming back to try out the sushi conveyer next time!

    Blue Ginger is a sushi restaurant located in the Southwest Ranches area right off of I 75 and Sheridan in the Publix shopping center. They have convenient parking right out front. What's a little different about this restaurant is you can sit at the bar and there is a mini lazy river that goes all the way through the bar. On the river are little boats that will deliver different plates of fresh made sushi and cooked food as well. The plate color helps differentiate the cost, and there is a breakdown of the cost / plate colors on the menu. They also offer sit down, full service inside the restaurant as well. This time we chose to sit at the bar and try several items. We started with the spring rolls and the scallops and then we had a few different sushi rolls and sashimi. We ended our meal with Thai donuts. The dessert was ordered through the server as we did not see desserts offered on the bar area. We found this to be a fun experience. The sushi was very good and very fresh. They make it and place it on the bar right in front of you.

    This was a last minute decision for a late night dinner. Great they are open until later than most restaurants in the area Our server was great. Friendly and efficient Food was ok. Fried tofu was tasteless and the pad Thai was ok but unlike all other pad Thais I had there was no peanuts cilantro and sprouts garnishing and that removed some of the taste too Overall not bad but would only go back if there was no other option

    I've had eaten here a long long time ago, even before I was on Yelp. It's a sushi bar that has the sushi rolling around the bar on a conveyor belt. That doesn't really excite me. But they do have regular tables with regular menu. The menu has a nice variety of different things to choice from. So we started with a couple of appetizers, the crab salad and some garlic edamame. The crab salad was really good, it was not heavy mayo, topped with Panko and avocado. The edamame was also very good, it was very tasty and cooked perfect. For dinner I had chicken teriyaki, other then it being over loaded with sauce it was very good. My wife had a JB tempura roll. It had a thin layer of rice and was full of salmon. I got to try it and it was very good. The only thing I didn't care for was the miso soup. It was loaded with sea weed and tofu, but I felt like it was way to salty. Our server, she was amazing too. I'd definitely want to eat here again

    Some of the tastiest rolls I have found with awesome ambiance and service. We checked out the sushi boats one day for dinner and went earlier another day for regular sit down service. The sushi boats are awesome if you are an adventurous visual eater because it's small portions so you get to try a little bit of everything. And you have control of how much you spend because each plate has a price based on the color. The regular sit down service was awesome. I got a chance to appreciate the decor because the boats took my focus the first time. The place is trendy and an open space while maintaining intimate individual spaces. The rolls were delish. Usually we like one or two of the rolls a lot and the others are ehh. We have yet to be disappointed here. Service was phenomenal. We always had topped off water and service was prompt. Prices are average. Parking is easy because this is in a large strip mall lot.

    If you ever avoid sushi because you want to try multiple things but can't justify the price vs quantity, this is your place. I recommend sitting at the bar with the rotating sushi boats, you can try as many things as you want (most are under $6 per plate) with a few special items but you'll understand what you're spending based on the color of the plate. They refill your drinks quick and the ambiance is no frills but it's perfect if you REALLY want to get your sushi fix.

    Delicious! We especially love their mango roll. Have never had a bad experience here.

    Good place to take the kids. Sit at the bar and select your sushi from the passing boats.

    This was my second visit, and i cant believe I hadn't reviewed this place!…read more THE PLACE: Located in a Pembroke Pines shopping mall, parking is free and available. Inside, you will find a sushi bar, tables and booths. The restaurant is small, but so cozy. THE FOOD: For starters, we had the chicken dumplings, small , soft and flavorful 4/5. We then ordered the sunset roll 5/5 which was refreshing and well rolled. Our entrees, came with miso soup 4/5 not salty like most tend to be, and with a good ratio of tofu and seaweed. I had the chicken teriyaki bento box, but switched the tempura veggies for rice. incredible 5/5. With the bento box, youre able to have a little of everything (sushi, gyoza, salad, your protein of choice and the tempura veggies or rice) but still end leaving full, not to mention the presentation is cute and functional. My husband tried the Oyako Don and while it doesnt sound like much on the description (chicken, rice, carmalized onions and omelet on top), this dish is heavy, flavorpacked and so good! THE SERVICE: Service is always great, the waitress will sit you, take your order, and check up on you regularly.

They also had a green curry they liked, but the sauce was a little watery, and a fried fish that was okay, but not great they said.

I got the salmon lover which came with an array of salmon sushi. We got Khao Soi (which came with an Arnold Palmer), Pad See Ew, curry, and a few other things. Everything was so good! We also got some dessert to celebrate the birthday and it came with a big "candle" which was more like fireworks and it was such a fun way to celebrate. Overall, such a great experience and a hidden gem for Thai & sushi in West Pines.
