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.

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.

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.

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!

Alicia G.

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.

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.

Cucumber Wrap Roll, tuna was minced and very fishy
Michelle D.

Service: 5 stars Food: 2 stars Service was quick and amazing! David was great! He was really friendly, great quick conversation about UFC fights. Told him the meaning regarding the shirt I was wearing. He was helpful grabbing a high chair for my daughter. He came back multiple times to check on us and asked how the food was. I ordered the dumplings ($12) for my daughter. It was originally pan-fried, I asked David if they could just steam/boil them and they were able to do so. Very accommodating! The dumplings were meat heavy and the wrap was thin and on top it was thicker (LOVED that). It looks like they dumplings were made in house. There was a ponzu sauce that was already on the plate. It was very heavy on the vinegar. I like tangy ponzu but not overpowered by vinegar but more with citrus (lime, lemon, yuzu). The meat wasnt as flavourful, bland meat, didnt have any veggies or spices to it. My daughter wasnt a big fan, so I ordered an easy roll that couldnt taste bad, the avocado roll! Simple roll, it was decently priced on the kids menu for $7. The avocado wasn't perfectly green, there were a few brown spots in it, maybe we came too early on Monday and it was leftovers from the previous night? The chef could've been a bit more detail oriented and taken those parts out of the avocado for better presentation. I ordered the cucumber skin roll ($14) which had Crab, Salmon, Tuna, and Avocado. I love cucumber rolls since theyre refreshing and usually order two of them. I'm glad I only ordered one to try it out first. I was surprised to see the word, crab instead of krab on the menu. When I ordered I was thinking it would be real crab but just a tiny bit since it's expensive and the roll was priced on the lower end. I was wrong. The dish came out, it was just regular imitation krab. The tuna came out minced, I did not like it. It was really really fishy. Im not usually a tuna gal but I'd still eat it in my sushi rolls. The tuna again tasted like it was yesterday's leftovers being used. The presentation with the cucumber skill roll was really pretty. When I left, David and a lady up front said good-bye. Service is great. Decor was modern and cozy. I was really looking forward to this sushi spot since it's highly rated on yelp and a few of my friends and husband wanted to dine here. Maybe it was just an off Monday morning for them.

Curry Udon with Chicken

First visit here. Nice ambiance, great service (thank you Isabella) and delicious food. We had the Coconut Soup, Kani Rangoon, Curry Udon and Tsunami Roll. The only thing that wasn't great was the Rangoon. The ratio to filling and dumpling was way off. Also, the filling was not thick and every bite it would pour out on to the plate. I will absolutely return and try other items on the menu.

Michelle F.

I dined in with my daughter for lunch and it was not too busy but there were a few other couples dining so the food did not take too long to come out. This was by far the freshest and best tasting sushi that I have ever had. I thought the prices were reasonable for the quality. I think that I like this place for special occasions and not for my weekly sushi fix.

Ikura, Salmon Belly, Yellowtail
Julia V.

A few people have told me about this sushi place, and I am so glad I finally tried it!! The food is divine--some of the freshest sushi (especially if you are a nigiri lover), at a great price point for its quality. The nigiri was so yummy, I ordered a second order. I had the salmon belly, the hamachi (yellowtail), ikura, and the kampachi. All of the fish is incredibly fresh and the presentation is beautiful. I love sitting at the sushi counter where you are able to watch the sushi chefs work their magic. If you are a toro lover, they have a whole toro nigiri section. The restaurant is clean, and gives a warm vibe, while remaining sleek. They also have great sakes.

I had a great time the first time, and yep it's still that girl. Let's talk about the vibe real quick. The ambiance is everything. Modern, and just really well put together. From the furniture textures to the contrast in colors it all feels super intentional but still chill. Like, they knew what they were doing when they designed this place. 10/10 on the setting alone. Let's get down to the items shall we? What We Had Drinks ____________________ + Naori Signature Drink ($15) : 8.4/10 This one's made with Pisco Berries and Triple Sec. It's a layered, fruity cocktail that's a little more complex. Personally, I prefer the Pisco Sour it's cleaner and more balanced for my taste. But if you like citrusy and berry-forward drinks, you might love this one. Again, these are my reviews based on my taste buds. You might feel differently and that's ok honey. + Espresso Martini ($16) : 9/10 Strong, chocolatey, and gets the job done. + Lychee Martini ($16) : 8.6/10 Clean and balanced. Not too sweet, just smooth and refreshing + Pisco Sour ($16) : 10/10 My fave. Fruity, with this nice cold foam on top. Pretty sure there were peach or passionfruit notes in there. So good. * Shots - We also did a round (Don Julio, I think), and it kept the vibe going. Appetizers/Entrees __________________ +Nikkei Tiradito ($19) : 10/10 Thin tuna slices with a shouyu sauce that had a little citrusy kick. I could've had another plate just for myself. +Grilled Octopus ($20) : 8.4/10 This was good! Cooked well, had a nice char. Not my favorite thing on the table, but still strong comes with Peruvian corn and potato. +Arroz Chaufa Special ($24) : 10/10 Babyyy this dish was everything. Wok-fried rice, perfectly seasoned. That filet was so tender, and the shrimp just brought it all together. Easy standing ovation for me. * Dessert - I honestly can't remember what we ordered for dessert, but it was decent. Nothing crazy. I'd give it a 7/10. Overall Experience: 10/10 Customer Service: 10/10 Would I Be Back? Without a doubt. I even told my mom about this place and I think she went a couple months ago!

The deviled eggs, though, were underwhelming not seasoned and just didn't hit for me. I ended up adding eel sauce, which actually made them much better... honestly something they might want to consider. Overall, decent food and a really cute atmosphere, but the slow service brings it down for me. Not writing it off completely, but for now it's a 3-star experience.
