Well, now, I want to cry…read more I can't believe I've lived in this area for 8 years and this is my first visit. The host was super friendly and warm! Greeted us immediately even though she was just coming off helping someone else and she sat us in a booth as requested with no issues. Just two of us, so I wasn't sure if it would be an issue. It wasn't! This place is AWESOME inside! Beautiful and creative themed murals all over the walls. Totally set the vibe as a casual and ultra cool spot. Our server was friendly without being obtrusive. Definitely gave us our space but made eye contact from across the room in case we need anything. We started with the Sushi Mori A, which we thought was going to have a roll and 10 pieces. We asked if we needed to pick and the server started listing what it comes with. So many amazing selections so we happily said yes! Well take whatever it comes with. Wow! It actually arrived with closer to 18-20 pieces (and yes we checked the price at the end and we paid for what we ordered as expected). We were absolutely floored by the variety and quality. Everything was fresh. Texture spot on. Nothing slimy. Nothing grey. Nothing fishy. Just pure, clean, water/ocean tasting pieces. All expertly assembled, nothing was sloppy. Hubs, who is mid on sushi, was so satisfied, so happy, he's legit excited about coming back for this boat, other boats, and bringing friends to show off the quality. Were we done? No. Bc this IS a Thai restaurant we had to try specifically Thai food. He'd never had any, so he wasn't sure what to expect. Ordered Beef Cashew Nut and he LOVED it. He first commented that he forgot to order fried rice instead of white, but as soon as he started eating noted it didn't need fried rice. There was so much flavor in the dish it would have been unnecessary. I ordered Beef Chili Paste. I was worried about the spice so went with mild. Next time I would definitely go medium bc I wanted a tad more heat. But the flavors in the dish were so good! Savory, probably oyster and soy sauce on top of chili paste. It was beyond my expectations. We had the Singha Thai beer and some cold Junmai sake. Both were excellent. The Singha tastes light, even though it's just a regular lager. Sake was not too sweet but still smooth and easy to drink. All in all, sushi boat, three beers, one sake, and two entrees was under $100. An amazing deal for the exceptional quality and variety of choices and service. We had just visited an exclusively Japanese restaurant the day before and thought we wouldn't really be into the sushi as a Thai restaurant. Boy were we mistaken! This place took the prize and I would declare it the best sushi and Thai in town by a mile! Absolutely obsessed with returning asap.

I left as a human sushi roll with zero self-control and absolutely no regrets. Round 1: "I'll pace myself." Round 2: "Okay but these rolls are tiny, so it doesn't count." Round 3: "We don't quit in this family." Round 4: I started negotiating with my waistband. The sushi? Fresh, fast, and dangerously delicious. Like... suspiciously good for something labeled "all you can eat." The spicy tuna had me questioning my loyalty to every other sushi place I've ever been to. And the fried rolls? Crispy little traps of joy. AND the vibe? Super cute, really clean, and tons of seating--so even while I was making questionable life choices, at least I was doing it in a place that felt put together and comfortable. Service was on POINT. Our server kept the plates coming like they were personally invested in my downfall. At one point I'm pretty sure they made eye contact with me like, "You sure about this?" No. No I was not. By the end, I was: 70% sushi 20% soy sauce 10% poor decision-making Would I go back? Absolutely. Will I learn my lesson? Absolutely not. Pro tip: Do not say "just one more roll." It is never just one more roll. 10/10 would roll myself out of there again.

Too bad as this ayce was a closer drive than the other, but I'll stick with ayce spots that serve humans only.

So good and if you're ailing, the ramen soup will nurse you back to health. The service is excellent. Everyone works hard as you will see them scurrying around to ensure everyone is served. The best part is the floor manager. Her name is Mama. She watches over the customers and staff with a watchful eye. She is so awesome. Older woman with the spunk of a teenager.

We had some specific needs, the guest of honor is a vegetarian, very environmentally conscious and supports sustainability. Chef Danny and his wife Katie Clark created such a fantastic event that not only fulfilled the needs of every guest, but knocked it into the stratosphere. Firstly the food. The menu was so thoughtfully put together. Fresh, innovative dishes for every palate that were just so delicious and looked absolutely beautiful. Every guest was so excited about the food, it was a repeated topic of conversation throughout the event. My personal favorite was the blueberry cobbler crumble with chantilly of which I ate 5, but we'll move quickly past that...sorry not sorry. Honestly, I wish I'd had leftovers for breakfast this morning. The beautiful sustainable bamboo plates and "silverware" were gorgeous and a perfect compliment too and much appreciated by Ainsley. Next, the bar curated and tended by the hostess-with-the-mostest Katie, co-owner of Drifters with husband Chef Danny. Katie put together an array of delicious drink options around certain specifics we'd requested and ensured everyone had their needs anticipated and met instantly. Beautiful drinks in compostable drinkware and stunning edible decorations. The mocktails for the non-drinkers were perfection. Bravo! The presentation, decoration and attention to the smallest of details made the event just extra special - fresh flowers in Ainsley's school colors at the bar, gorgeous ice baths for the drinks and beautifully displayed fresh flowers surrounding the food itself, which were like works of art. Visually stunning as well as beautiful to eat and drink. Like I said earlier, they knocked it into another galaxy in every aspect. Lastly, but certainly not least, the service. From start to finish, every single member of the Drifters team made this such an easy and fun experience. The offers of help for anything we might need throughout the process was unexpected and absolutely above and beyond what was required, but we were so very grateful and appreciative of all they did. The team puts their heart, soul and love into their work and it shows in abundance. They did it all with genuine smiles on their faces; each of them happy, calm and confident, no stress, no fuss. It was a pleasure to work with them. We've been regular customers of Drifters the restaurant and now we can say that we love their event catering just as much as we love their restaurant. I'm already thinking about what next event we have coming up...I need that blueberry dessert again. To the Drifters family, thank you from our family to yours for helping us make such great memories that we'll have for years to come. We love you guys. We didn't get that many pictures because we were too busy eating and enjoying ourselves with family and friends, as is the mark of a great party, but hopefully you get the general idea

The woman answering the phone was very pleasant when placing the order, and I received a warm, friendly greeting when I arrived for pickup. I ordered the Hot Mama Roll, which was easily my favorite of the evening. The combination of kani, eel, avocado, masago, and jalapeños wrapped in mamenori delivered the perfect balance of flavors, and I absolutely loved the jalapeño kick. If you're a fan of spicy sushi, this one is a must-try. I highly recommend pairing it with spicy mayo. We also tried the Rising Sun Roll, featuring cucumber, tempura kani, masago, and avocado, topped with tuna, salmon, and ebi with a touch of sriracha. Everything tasted very fresh, and the variety of seafood made for a flavorful roll. My only wish was for a little more heat. Clearly, I love my spice! Adding some jalapeño would have taken it to the next level for me. That said, it paired wonderfully with eel sauce, which added a nice touch of sweetness. Overall, Mangetsu delivered fresh, flavorful sushi and friendly service. A great option for takeout in downtown Melbourne, especially if you're looking for quality sushi later in the evening. We'll definitely be back.

I have to say first - we literally chose this restaurant bc they had pork katsu (tonkatsu) and Japanese curry on the menu. These are dishes we had in Japan and always look for, but this is THE ONLY restaurant we've found in the area that has real pork katsu. A few have chicken... but that's not the same at all. Also, Japanese curry is a specific and special dish that I haven't seen anywhere else around here (except in my own kitchen). I ordered miso soup, squid salad, shumai, and eel with cucumber roll. Hubs ordered pork katsu entree which came with a carrot ginger dressing salad and miso soup to start, and rice, broccoli, and tonkatsu sauce with the pork tonkatsu. Also ordered Kirin and a sparkling sake. We were both mostly happy with our choices overall. The katsu was SO crispy, just like we had in Tokyo. But it was a tad overcooked, so not as tender inside as one would hope. It also didn't come with shredded seasoned cabbage, which I would have expected as a traditional accompaniment for this dish. The steamed broccoli was crunchy, bright and fresh. The tonkatsu sauce was on point. Steamed shumai was a delight! So well made, delicate but tasty, and it came with a perfect soy vinegar sauce. The squid salad was amazing! I scarfed every single bit of it. I loved the plentiful addition of julienned cucumber. Miso soup wasn't anything special, but wasn't bad. Kind of basic. Didn't seem house made. Maybe from packets. Hubs loved their ginger carrot dressing. More than what we've had at other places. I was not happy with the eel and cucumber roll. They were very tiny pieces, which made them fall apart easily. The wrap barely overlapped so it almost required a fork, and it was less than an inch thick. Also the eel itself did not have a prominent flavor or texture. Neither did the cucumber. The sauce seemed bland. It wasn't "bad" or "off", but it just didn't stand out at all and I'd give it a 2-2.5 stars. (If I had blind tasted this dish, I would not have tasted unagi or sauce or cucumber. I honestly wouldn't have been able to put a finger on what I had eaten at all.) Because the eel cucumber roll was a disappointment, I chose not to order additional sushi or the curry I had intended to order for myself. Definitely going to come back for another meal. I'm giving it a 4 now because I believe we'll probably have more success coming during dinner. Maybe they had prepped my lunch roll earlier so it wasn't great? Maybe the lunch chef is inexperienced and overcooked the pork by mistake? Hubs thought the hibachi choices looked great and he 100% enjoyed the tonkatsu (despite it being overcooked). The crust and fry on it were shatteringly crispy in the best of ways. I am absolutely going to try the curry next time. It's such a comforting dish when done right. We also will try the nigiri and rolls for a better feel and taste of their sushi offerings. Sometimes your first visit happens to be on an off hour or day, so we'll give another try before being too critical in stars.but another mid visit like this would definitely be 3 stars or less.
