    Negamaki beef
    Giselle P.

    It's a nice sushi shop in downtown Venice. The atmosphere is very relaxed, one where you can enjoy a date or a meal with friends and watch the game. I ordered the negamaki beef, volcano roll, and the dynamite roll as suggested by our waitress. The sushi rolls are handmade behind a bar in full view, so you can see that you're about to get fresh sushi. The negamaki took a minute to come out as my appetizer, but it was so juicy and flavorful. It's thinly sliced beef wrapped around spring onions and sautéed with broccoli. The waitress brought over a free plate of banana wontons for dessert. It was nice to find a good sushi restaurant in the area, I will be returning.

    I was born and raised here and this is the BEST local sushi spot in Venice!! Everything they sell is amazing. I order to go a lot for parties and they always go above and beyond for my orders. Great for date nights too!

    Tampa & Caribbean roll to go

    LOVE this place! 10+ years & I've never had a bad experience. Every roll I've tried has tasted great. The people are so kind. Usually I order to go but it's fun to sit & watch them prepare food when I can. The Caribbean roll is my favorite!

    Took my husband here as he was under the weather and in need of ramen. It hit the spot and the bushier bento I ordered knocked it out of the park. The hospitality was beyond welcoming and we will be sure to return!

    Shrimp shumai
    Kyran D.

    Nice relaxing atmosphere with soft music, i liked the oriental interior and details. We got the Shrimp Shumai, Tokyo roll, and Godzilla roll. The server was nice and let us go over the menu, our food was ready in around 15 minutes. The Shumai were decent, overpriced for the amount, and not as hot as I'd like but not bad, the Tokyo and Godzilla rolls were delicious and filling, priced fair, didn't taste low quality. Then we got had banana wontons for dessert, which were alright, sweet and airy. Overall I'd come back again, just for the sushi.

    Spring roll

    So yummy Service was quick. Place is little and nice for lunch. Would recommend if in the area!

    Lychee sake
    Maria S.

    Came here during our stay in Venice. We ordered Chicken Katsu and Chicken Teriyaki. The dishes come with both soup and salad as well as your choice of steamed white rice or fried rice. We also ordered a bottle of lychee sake. The pros: The sake was delicious! Service was quick The free dessert was good Cons: The food wasn't great. I've had chicken Katsu before but this one was really greasy and didn't taste fresh. The soup was very plain and lacked flavor. The fried rice also lacked flavor. The chicken teriyaki was my least favorite. The chicken tasted boiled and then smothered in a lackluster teriyaki sauce mixed with veggies. The seating was uncomfortable and table space was limited. I didn't get to try the Bushido Fried Rice which sounds good but not sure I'd be back.

    Great Sushi!!!! Brought my daughter from France there and have recommended Bushido to my friends from the day they opened. Have not heard a bad review yet. I do hear Why am I going to Sarasota when the best Sushi Bar is here in Venice. 5 Star rating

    Stopped in for lunch after a hot walk along the beach. Had a nice, quiet atmosphere. It wasn't too busy on a Sunday afternoon, but the service was great. Waitress was very nice and I appreciate that she wore a mask. I got their lunch special of tofu teriyaki, which also came with a miso soup (I think it was a choice between soup or salad). A lot of places have weird tofu but theirs had a nice breading with good flavor, not too mushy but not overly tough. Food was a nice balance of textures and flavors, and I was also starving so that helped. The waitress was also kind enough to give a few complimentary banana wontons for dessert. I only got a tea to drink but for a total cost of about $18, I left super full. I had an hour drive back home, so I really appreciated the hospitality here.

    Sunday, May 11, 2025 / 6:45 PM - Mother's Day evening. First time here Take out for 3…read more We will come here to dine in. Our usual spot is closed for a week or so for some reason. We love the Indian place a few doors away so when this came up on a Yelp search I figured I would drive over from Lake of the Woods/Jacaranda West area and pick it up. By the time I made the trip I did not expect the food to be kitchen hot and fresh: my review is not about that. I suspect to make things even more challenging, they told me it would be ready in 35 to 45 minutes.....and I was there in 30. I think it had been sitting already for a bit...the place was FULL with people waiting. There were 4 drivers in queue for Door Dash and Uber Eats I suspect. We got the Chicken Satay as a common item, which my wife really enjoyed, the chicken was tender and properly cooked. Sauce and seasoning very nice. 8/10 We got the white rice. i am NOT a fan of white or basmati rice or any white rice for that matter, even brown is suspect with arsenic and chemicals and processing and packaging issue. But I would have gone for brown but that seems to be NOT an option here???? My wife selected the Spicey Basil Shrimp which was also nicely prepared and a healthy variety of vegetables lightly cooked and seasoned, a very nice job. The shrimp seemed a good product and not too scary (smile). She could not finish it and is taking it to work/school tomorrow. 8/10 My daughter rolled with the House Fried Rice with double egg but no meat/chicken. She really enjoyed this and this is here "test" entree. So simple and yet when its poor......you really know it!! Hats off this gets a 9/10 I got the Garden Vegetable Fried Tofu. This has a nice wide array of vegetables nicely firm but amply cooked. The sauce was also very nice. The tofu was cubed and fried on all sides but perfectly done and not greasy and oil charred blocks or rubber. Good tofu product!! I really enjoyed this! I will order this ON SITE when we dine in just to see how much better it will be kitchen to table fresh and hot!! 10/10 So for take out, this was pretty good. 10x better i am sure freshly served and not sitting on a shelf and in a plastic bag.... then driven 20 more minutes to the house..... great job Star Thai & Sushi. Till we meet again to dine in..... Good job!

    So. Looks like a nice place inside. We might've just ordered the wrong thing. I got sweet and sour…read morestir fry tofu and my partner got the same except with chicken. I guess we should just stick with Chinese sweet and sour. This was different and tasted like a sweet tomato soup. Not good. I also got Eel. It was ok. Probably should've done sushi. We got take out and I could see there was a sushi bar and a lot of people were getting sushi that were sitting at their tables. Otherwise. Not a good experience.

Fairly open at 5:30 pm on a Sunday....... PACKED and folks waiting by 6 PM!!!!! Clean (brand new restaurant) and plenty of parking, however we walked over from d/t Wellen Park. Not packed, but we still had to wait for server. We did have to flag her down multiple times and ESPEICALLY as the rest of her tables filled up. I got a tofu ginger soup that was awesome. I coudl (well actually now I can't) rattle off all the rolls and items we got. I got vegan/veggie vegetable aspargus and avacado and etc rolls............ each and every one was prepared perfectly, and presented fantastically and had fresh and delectable ingredients. I have had a bit of sashimiand sushi in my 45 plus years of international and domestic travel and living in NYC/LI. As well I worked for a Japanese company for 10 years......... this was VERY well done and my top spot in the Sarasota to North Port corridor and thankfully 6 miles from my home..... my wife works a mile away!!!!!! As a restaurant amongst over 150 I have tagged they are also top ranking with me. Sadly I will never be able to get in there as they are already busting at the seams and when YOU read this you are going to make it worse (smile) That is okay, ENJOY and Bon Appétit ..... or meshiagare.

    It's been a couple of years since I darkened the door of Fugus. The last time I ate there the food…read morewas great and there were several other diners. I popped in there with my 10 year old daughter today for a late lunch. The place was completely empty and appears to be mainly a take out place now although there are several booths. I told the young lady behind the counter that we were eating in so she brought us a menu as we sat down. I walked up to the counter to place our order of miso soup, California roll, and hibachi style steak udon. The soup & roll came out almost instantly served in take out containers complete with lids on and flimsy plastic cutlery. It seems to me that if there are multiple booths for eat in customers there should be regular serving dishes and utensils available for those diners. The miso soup had a strange flavor like it had absorbed the smell of a refrigerator IYKYK. The rice on the California roll was dry and crunchy on top as if it had been rolled hours earlier and left uncovered in a fridge to dry out. After a few minutes my udon appeared also in a covered take out container with a cheap flimsy plastic fork. I ordered it "habach" style so I expected that lovely browness you get from sautéing on a very hot flat top. There was none of that. The "steak" was gray and impossible to chew, most likely some cheap cut of roast that if treated properly might have passed for steak but as prepared was just cubes of grey tough flavorless muscle. The vegetables of carrots, broccoli, cabbage, and zucchini were cooked to mush with not a hint of seared flavor. The noodles were gummy and pasty and whatever small amount of sauce was at the bottom and watery and bland, didn't cling to the ingredients at all. I added a ton of soy sauce to try to enhance what little flavor there was but even that didn't do much. When the cashier approached to ask how everything was I, very nicely I promise, explained some of the issues. All she was interested in was telling me that everything was fresh not reused from yesterday and that I was wrong about my assessment. She offered no refund or remake although a remake wouldn't have been accepted anyways. I ate a few bites of the noodles because I was starving but we threw everything else out. We will not be back and I cannot recommend.
