    Calamari

    So this place was recommended because they have some great options for happy hour and I will say I was not disappointed. My daughter is a sushi lover and we decided to stop in here for their happy hour specials. They have great options for everyone and they are affordable and most of all delicious. The staff was very friendly and our host was making jokes with my daughter which warmed my spirit. The place is very nice and came be for a casual outing or a date night. Loved the look, the taste and the overall feel of the restaurant. It is ducked off in a plaza so it is a nice quiet place to eat. We will be back soon!!

    Set back in the retail plaza behind the McDonald's at University Drive just north of 595, Otoro Sushi is a bit hidden. The eatery was buzzing on a Saturday evening with its modernly decorated dining room constantly filling up. Seating about 80, it also sports a sushi bar. Our server, Jensen, provided great service and excellent suggestions. I had an otoro version of a margarita. It came with sugar on the rim. Not to my liking. We ordered the coconut rock shrimp appetizer that came with large, meaty shrimp and a great dipping sauce. But the shrimp had no flavor and was very bland. We also had the tuna crispy rice. The presentation was lovely. But the appetizer was underwhelming. For dinner we had the cucumber skin roll with tuna, salmon, and a avocado. Again, a beautiful presentation with tuna that melted in your mouth. But again, not impressive. The standout was the curry udon with chicken katsu; thick, meaty udon noodles; and a delectable curry sauce so good I slurped up each drop. Of course we had to try the pandan creme brulee and the ube flan. The latter being the better of the two desserts. Dinner for two with 1 alcoholic drink, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 desserts, tax, and tip was $128.

    Great food!! The place was packed and our server was so nice. The sushi was fresh and the fried rice was delicious. Great atmosphere too!

    I was very pleased with this experience. We were served with great attention and helpfulness. The décor is minimalist and modern with some Asian touches. From the menu, we chose: - Ari Tuna Crispy rice $14.00 (very tasty, the rice is perfectly crispy); - The Zen roll $10.00 (tasty, but I didn't really notice the mushroom flavor; it is better with soy sauce and wasabi); - Curry Udon $20.00 (the fried chicken is simply delicious; the size of the dish is well worth the price). All dishes arrived quickly, and the service was excellent.

    First thing is first, I went here specifically to try the Bang Bang Noodles based on all of the rave reviews and found out when I got there that they took it off of the menu. Not sure why, but the table next to me wanted to order that as well. Seems odd to take such a popular item off of the menu, but none the less, I proceeded to order some sushi. The waitress was very friendly and fast. The rolls came out extraordinarily quick. I had the kamikaze, tsunami, and cucumber skin roll. All of them were food but the Tsunami was definitely my favorite of the three followed by the kamikaze. The kamikaze had dried salmon skin inside which I really liked and gave it a great texture with a light crunch. The ambiance is modern, cozy, and very clean.. All of the staff were very nice and overall service was spot on. Although I wasn't able to get what I came in for, it was still a good experience. Hopefully the Bang Bang Noodles find their way back in the menu at some point. But either way I would eat here again.

    I didn't post this right after my visit, so I don't remember every menu detail. What I do recall is that while the service was fantastic, the food itself didn't quite meet my expectations. I've been to similar sushi spots where the quality was noticeably better, and for the price here, I was hoping for more of a "wow" factor. On the positive side, the drinks and atmosphere were both great, and the overall vibe was enjoyable. If I were rating just service, drinks, and aesthetics, I'd give it a 4. Unfortunately, the food quality brought my overall rating down.

    Grabbed a quick lunch here before flying out of the airport and it was SO good! Some of the best tasting sushi I've had honestly. It was all such smooth, flavorful & melt in your mouth sushi. Such a fantastic spot! Highly recommend.

    Tempura cheesecake

    Had a nice Valentine's Day lunch here with my honey. Our food and drinks were delicious! I ordered the lavender margarita and my bf ordered a sake Long Island ice tea. My drink was very smooth and tasted like a yummy lavender lemonade. As for food I ordered the surf & turf roll and my bf ordered the ribeye with wasabi chimichurri. My roll was very good and the steak was cooked perfectly. We both loved the wasabi chimichurri. We also ordered the tempura cheesecake for dessert. Everything was delicious and I loved the restaurant design with the pretty lit wall behind the sushi bar. I would love to come back and sit at the sushi bar.

    G14 roll, Tsunami roll and Tokyo Tea (Sake Long Island)
    Debbie A.

    The food and drinks were great, service was fast and the ambiance was very nice. This hidden gem is a must try. Everything we had was incredible. G14 and tsunami rolls and the Tokyo tea (pictured here) were delicious. The spicy tuna crispy rice and fried dumplings (not pictured) are the best I've ever had. I will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

    Pandan Creme Brulee
    Mai T.

    I ordered the tsunami roll and it had a proportionate amount of rice and toppings in my opinion, it wasn't just a roll with a bunch if rice. The fish was fresh and smooth with a crunch from the shrimp tempura and I love a best of both worlds in texture. The edamame was chili garlic flavored and it was really good. It had a spice to the traditional edamame which I really liked. The ube flan was smooth and somewhat thick, I wish it had a stronger ube flavor, but nevertheless, it was still very tasty. The pandan creme brulee was very soft and reminded me of a mousse but I was able to taste the pandan flavor. The service was nice and he checked on us regularly. The ambiance and setup was nice and there weren't many people as we came in around noon when they opened. Overall, great experience!

    Pretty restaurant, albeit smaller inside than it looks online. Good service and a great value with the Happy Hour menu. The food was super fresh although lacking a bit flavor wise, and presented very nicely. Had the Crunchee roll (meant to get the Yummy), calamari and lychee martini that gave me big apple juice notes on the tongue. Not opposed to trying other items but not pressed to return based on this taste. I implore you to explore as it is nice.

    Fried rice with shrimp
    Roger M.

    Absolutely fabulous. I am a sushi and fresh fish fanatic. I am delighted when there are fresh takes. And Otoro rings the bell. I had a salmon aburi roll that had three types of salmon. The spicy salmon inside was fantastic. The ikura (egg) on top was perfect and added the right level of saltiness. The cooked salmon on top would have been better raw, but still great. Then, because of the other reviews, I had the shrimp fried rice. Normally I would not order that. But I am so glad I did. The flavors were great. I do not know what sauce the shrimp were in, but I could eat it all day. The rice was the right level of crispy. My wife and I realized that while you could have a big meal here, the portions are so big that it is possible to share two dishes, eat in a reasonable amount of time, and walk out feeling great for under $50. We will surely be back. I loved the cool interior and the waitstaff was helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

    If I could give this place 100 stars I would. My mom and I did the omakase experience, which you had to call ahead of time and reserve so the chef was able to prepare ahead of time. They take a $50 per person deposit at reservation and the experience advertises itself as $175/pp for 14 pieces. This experience was less like your traditional omakase sitting in a room with eight other people are watching the chefs, and more like a private chef dinner. My mother and I sat at the sushi bar, right in front of Chef Jimmy. Our server, Matthew, introduced and greeted himself, and took away every plate immediately upon completion. Chef Jimmy was so happy to meet us and incredibly personable. He asked us all about Miami, our travels, our favorite sushi, and other omakases we have experienced. He was so thankful and grateful that we were there, and we even took a shot of nice whiskey with him! The restaurant does not have a full bar but he has it behind the sushi counter and will offer to buy you a shot. Now - let's talk food. This was one of the best omakase experiences I have ever had. First of all, I almost had to stop the chef from bringing food out - I was SO FULL. In most omakases you're usually given one piece of nigiri per fish - here they give you at least two of almost everything, and there were way more than 14 courses. We said "oh my god wow" after eating every single bite. The creativity and sauces were amazing, and there was so much caviar and uni involved in the pieces that I simply could not believe my eyes. In the end you get two full size, huge desserts that we could seriously only take one bite of. In terms of the omakase my favorite dishes were the toro box, the king crab, the langostinos, the wagyu, and the ama ebi. But truly - I can't decide and I cannot wait to go back. It's an hour and fifteen minute drive for us to get here, and worth EVERY MINUTE.

    Was in the mood for some galbi short rib and I saw that they offered it... so decided to try them…read moreout. Got the galbi with rice and the grilled beef spring roll. I was surprised how much food came out. Great for the price. The spring rolls were massive and the peanut sauce that's paired with it tasted great! Def going back!

    "Let's drive the extra 15 minutes, we haven't been there in several years."…read more Instead of our usual Pho Gia Vi, we decided to give Noodle House in Lauderdale Lakes another try. The main reason was one particular soup they serve that you don't see very often locally: Tom Cua, a crab and seafood soup with egg whites, surimi, shrimp, and I believe squid. It's a nice change from the usual pho options. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal reminded us why we haven't been back in a while. The restaurant was surprisingly quiet for a Friday night. The rocket shrimp appetizer had been overfried, the egg rolls in Rachel's bun dac biet were noticeably overcooked, and the grilled shrimp on top were dry from being cooked too long. My lemongrass beef arrived with far more onions than beef, and the beef itself was on the tough side. None of it was inedible, but compared with the consistently excellent meals we've had at Pho Gia Vi, it just wasn't close. The Tom Cua was the one dish that justified the trip, but everything else ranged from average to disappointing. I'm glad we went back because it answered the question of whether our memories were accurate. They were. We'll stick with Pho Gia Vi from here on out. It's closer to home, more consistent, and every visit leaves us happy.

    I've never heard of this restaurant, nor did I read any reviews prior to ordering…read more I placed an order via Grubhub today, and I was a bit impressed, mainly for the flavors. Everything arrived within 40 min, still hot. I ordered a ramen broth, an order of tempura shrimp along with the spicy yaki udon. The udon was not spicy at all, but very delicious. Not sure why it's referred to as "spicy", there was not a single sight of red or green chilies. I would have loved for it to have a kick of spice, but nevertheless, still delicious. The appetizer shrimp a fail, they did feel a bit chewy/ rubbery, and dry. This was not my favorite. The hot ramen broth was soothing and on a cool day like today, well worth it. I wish that my order had arrived with chopsticks, or some type of utensils. None were provided, not even napkins. And I was a little disappointed that no sauces were provided, not even for the noodles. Often times some oriental places will provide siracha or some type of chill sauce. Perhaps this places does not offer those condiments? I wish that I could have given this a 4, even 5 star, but ordering from a food service one would hope the meal arrived with at least chopsticks, or some napkins. If I visit the restaurant in person, I'll be sure to update my review then.

    A great place to stop for a quick, fresh, delicious pho meal! We all know rainy days call for warm,…read morecomforting soups, so on this most recent rainy day, I came to slurp noodles and broth. Everyone seemed to have the same idea, since the restaurant was 80% full on a late Saturday afternoon. There is a counter immediately on the left when you walk in, mainly for to-go and delivery order pickups, which happen pretty often if you're sitting and seeing in the restaurant. The walls are decorated with traditional Vietnamese paintings and the tables have the heaviest ornate wooden chairs I've ever pulled out, but both the tables and chairs feel stable to sit at no matter where you sit. The menus are typically already sitting at the table so you can start looking and be ready to order within minutes, which is how quickly you can get a drink order and/or water served. You order your choice of pho by number, as one does in a legitimate pho restaurant, and the pho toppings come out again within minutes of your ordering. The appetizers and pho come out so quickly and fresh, you forget you had ordered. The rocket shrimp rolls are a great snack appetizer to have while you wait for your pho to come out (which isn't that much time). I've had them 3 times and they arrive hot, fresh, wrapped in crispy wonton on the outside and with plump well seasoned shrimp on the inside. They come with a sweet vinegary soy dipping sauce. The pho broth is rich in taste and never over salted. It comes out hot cooking the brisket and steak that was just added to it before serving (along with tripe in my case---I got #30 during my last visit). I love adding all of the toppings and having them cook and soften as I make my way through the bowl contents. The bean sprouts, Thai basil and culantro are always fresh (which is hard to keep that way for long, from experience). The pho bowls start at $13 for regular and go to $16 for a large size, then to $19 for an XL size. If you're real hungry like I usually am, the large size is a sweet spot. Dump some chili oil and/or sambal from the table into your bowl, munch on softened jalapenos and savor the heat in temperature and your taste buds. There's no better comforting way to spend a rainy or cold day!
