    Soup and salad as part of number 1 special
    Bob W.

    Quick service, and the miso soup was flavorful, and the salad (iceberg) was crispy fresh. Main course was hot, and fresh crispy veges, and soft beef! And chicken. Worth the price. The portions are large so without prompting the wait staff brought over a takeout container!

    There are not many (any?) good Asian restaurants around the golden triangle. I had noticed this place in the Winn Dixie shopping center but hadn't given it much thought. It's much bigger inside than I expected and so clean and fresh. It's basically like a hibachi restaurant but the grill is in the kitchen so you don't have to give attention to the chef but can enjoy the same scrumptious food. The servers seem to work all the tables as well had 3 different people attend to us. I ordered the daily special which was chicken & steak meal for $17.99. The miso soup was flavorless. The salad was good. The meal came with rice, noodles and veggies and it was enough for 2, maybe 3 meals. Soooo good. They make their own yum yum sauce and it was delicious. Lots of sushi options as well. So happy we found this gem. They were doing a steady take-out service so that's a good option as well. They have Coke Zero.

    Shibuya Tavares - Bluefin Tuna Nigiri !!

    Food is amazing. We started with the Edamame Bean App adding the Kimchi Butter. They were bursting…read morewith flavor and I recommend you save any excess Kimchi Butter to drizzle over your sushi, which is what we did. The Green Bastard and Tavares Sushi Roll were similar with the addition of Fresh Snapper atop my roll. The prices were $16 and $17 for the sushi but they were double the size of most sushi plates. We recommend the Blackberry Lemonade cocktail with wine based vodka, delicious while still being strong. I had the Sapporo 22 oz Daddy beer bottle, a clean, refreshing Japanese beer. Their hours are great if you work and don't get out often until late; 5-11 pm Wednesday to Sunday. A new favorite in downtown Tavares.

    Wow. Local business like Shibuya deserves to be supported…read more First off - one of the best sushi rolls I've ever had. Casually asked one of the sushi chefs what his favorite roll was. He listened to some of my preferences. Saw my Tenacious D shirt and complemented it. And then proceeded to make me a modified Beauty and the Beast roll and called it the Tenacious D roll. Incredible. My wife is not a fan of sushi because she doesn't like fish or seaweed. But she saw my roll and reaction and felt jealous. Asked if they could make her a roll to accommodate her and they were totally willing to oblige. Spoke with the owner. Super nice guy with lots of passion. Service from the front to back of the house was so personal and friendly. We felt so welcomed. Ambiance was super chill. Nice ambient music. Cool lighting. It's not super high end furniture but you can tell they are a new business doing the best they can. But let's be real - food is more important than the quality of the table you're eating on. Top notch food and vibes. What more do you want? There's literally no sushi in Tavares that can compete. Heck. Not much I've had in the country that can compete. If you love sushi do yourself a favor and just go. 10 stars.
