Steak and shrimp hibachi
Libby H.

My friend and I were staying at the Hampton Inn so we decided to order take out since it was a 1 minute walk. The restaurant looked cute though on the inside. My friend did the california roll dinner portion which she said was delicious. I did the steak & shrimp hibachi dinner with fried rice and miso soup and it was so good but lots of food! The vegetables were okay.

Salmon hand roll

Exceeded expectations. The staff was super accommodating in letting us move our seats to the bar. The fish quality was better than I expected and I loved the sashimi platter app especially. The space was a little crowded, but that's because so many people were there for the lovely food! Love this place.

Black dragon roll & sunrise roll

Food was delicious and the service was good as well. We got two rolls and a few appetizers!

Was craving sushi and I went a little over board with ordering, in my opinion, sushi was decent but the rest of the stuff that we ordered was meh. In the words of my bro, if you going to charge premium price for the appetitzers it better live up to the price in which it didn't. Tom Yam Soup $13.00 -Tastes nothing like tom yum, it's suppose to be spicy and limey, but all you can taste and fresh shrimp dropped into the soup, it was very fishy. Seaweed Salad $6.95 -Alright Thai Lettuce Wrap (Hot & Spicy) $10.95 -meh didn't really have that much flavor to it. Pork Gyoza $5.95 -something outta the freezer, i'm a couple of bucks from buying a whole bag at the freezer. Shumai $5.50 -The pieces were tiny, not your dim sum size shumai, tastes like something outta the freezer. HB Filet Mignon & Chicken (Dinner) $27.95 -didn't taste the filet mignon part of it, meat was cooked through when I wanted it medium well. It was ok flavor wise. There was so much liquid inside the container, hibachi is suppose to be stir fried and DRIED. Drunken Noodles (Hot & Spicy) $12.00 + Chicken $2.00 -stay away from this dish, does not taste like anything, no flavoring at all. You would need to hit up a thai restaurant for good drunken noodles or chinese restaurant for chow fun. They didn't have beef as an option either. California Roll $6.50 -meh, CR tastes the same everywhere you go, it's so basic. Capital Roll $15.95 -this was decent Godzilla Roll (8 Pcs) $15.95 -this was decent too Rainbow Roll (8 Pcs) -decent Sushi tasted fresh, it was probably the most decent part of the meal for me. Anything else I would not order was meh to me.

OMG! What an experience! Our family is visiting from Seattle and we have some awesome sushi over there. The staff was very friendly and helpful with suggestions when we were trying to figure out what to order. Kids loved the fish pond that was greeting them as soon as we entered. The atmosphere was very friendly as well. We did 2 of the Group B sets that had sashimi, nigiri, and your choice of 2 special rolls. We also added the sweet potato and something else for my cousin who doesn't like seafood. Kids loved the boats that they were served on. The fish was very fresh and cured nicely. The special rolls were pretty fun and well put together. We had gotten the Ashburn, Sunset, Lobster, and Passion special rolls.

Gyoza Dumplings & Roti Canai
Cameron B.

Really nice sushi restaurant in town and we went purely off of the positive reviews (which I will contribute to!) For our appetizers we got the Gyoza (5/10) (it was ok...gas we tried it but could have done without it). We also got the Roti Canai (8/10) that was very flavorful and I would absolutely get that again. I was pleasantly surprised to see a dish like this in a largely Japanese restaurant. You also can't go wrong with any of the rolls you get, all will be good!

Don't remember which rolls but they were all fantastic.
Chris A.

First experience dining at Passion Fin and was pleased we chose to try it out. Very unique rolls and reasonable prices. Service was friendly and very quick for sushi restaurant with a good crowd. I look forward to going back to try other menu options. Don't miss this!

We ordered the drunken noodles and two sushi rolls. The drunken noodles did not have any flavor so we had to ask for spices, salt, and soy sauce to give it some flavor. It tasted much better with adding some spicy spices and salt to it. The sushi was alright as well. Not the worst I've had but also not the best I have. The service was great. The lady became very concerned when we asked for spice and salt and seemed to really care that the food was not seasoned well. That was appreciated. The location is near lots of things making it very convenient.

Luv Luv Luv the consistency - service is on point!!! Sushi - - check!!! I have been here multiple times - and have never left disappointed!!!

Fried Soft Shell Crab
Vin P.

Tl;dr - wowzers was I surprised! The food is great! Legit I was surprised like... whoa! I would never have expected great sushi at a place in Gainesville... foreal!? We dined for two and we were seated at a small two person table, and the place itself looked nice and cute. We were starving before we got there, and our stomachs ended up ordering LOL. We ordered Soft Shell Crab for appetizer and a Pineapple Fried Rice with chicken. Since we were at a sushi resto we also decided to order the Sushi House Platter B. House Platter B included 16 Pcs. of Sashimi, 8 Pcs of sushi and choice of two special Rolls. (Served with House Salad or Miso Soup)... we ended up getting the Amazing Roll and Deluxe Rainbow Roll as our special rolls. Remember how I said we sat at a small table? Lol the waitress asked if we wanted to move to a bigger table after we ordered. Smart move for sure! EVERYTHING tasted great and the fish all tasted fresh. It was way better than most sushi places you'll find in the DMV. Yes I know I'm surprised too! I will definitely be coming back

Do they offer outdoor seating/dining?

Is this restaurant handicap accessible?

We didn't use the restrooms, so I don't know about that, but except for the sidewalk curb there weren't any steps/stairs to enter/exit or in the restaurant proper.

They'll bring out a cup with ice and then a water bottle for you to pour. Their hot green tea was very bitter, and I didn't recognize the teabag that they used. Hibachi is always an entertaining experience and my SO loves it. We waited a long time before the cook came. The performance was fun and we got a lot of steak because we waited so long. They seemed like they were very busy, so the chef came quickly and left quickly. The scallops were really wet so it made the fried rice soggy. I would try to put the scallops on the side as soon as you receive them. Good yum yum sauce and well cooked food overall.

So the best sushi that you could…read morepossibly have at a gas and convenience store, will not be anywhere close to five stars at Nobu. That said; We visited Musashi several times before this review. So right off the bat I can say that the service and the flavor of the food has been consistently wonderful! We have not yet tried the sushi, we always come for hibachi. We have sampled the tempura, Giza, and Schumer for appetizers. Enjoy the mushroom broth and salad that comes before the meal. We are never made to wait if we are the only two of the hibachi table, the shift comes out promptly and makes our food With flare into our taste. We routinely get filet mignon, rare. And it is made perfectly to order, and we frequently take home a second helping for later. From the hostess to the server to the chef and the bartender, we have always experienced excellence and courteous service.

My significant other, his family, and I came here because they highly recommended it as one of…read moretheir favorite places to eat. It was my first time visiting, as well as my significant other's. When we arrived, the host was polite and we were seated with our party of about 8 people. However, things started off awkwardly when my significant other's mom wanted to sit on the opposite side of the table to spread out more comfortably. She was told she could not sit there and had to stay in the seat closest to us. At first, I assumed it was because another group was joining us since there were 3 extra chairs left open, but that wasn't the case. The restaurant was empty aside from one other table that had arrived before us, so the situation felt unnecessary and frustrating. Unfortunately, the food experience was disappointing as well. As soon as the chef placed the shrimp, lobster, and chicken on the grill at the same time, I had a feeling the seafood would end up overcooked -- and it did. The lobster and scallops had noticeable burn marks, the shrimp was overcooked, and the steaks were not cooked correctly either. Two people ordered medium steak, but both were cooked at the same time, and one was left on the grill longer than the other, causing inconsistency. Another issue I had was that the chef automatically drenched the seafood in teriyaki sauce without asking first. Personally, I don't enjoy teriyaki sauce, and I think he should have asked us if we wanted sauce on our seafood before pouring it on. When the chef asked how everything tasted, my significant other was honest and said the food was okay but overcooked and burnt in some areas. Our bill ended up being around $400, and because we were unhappy with both the food and service, my boyfriend left a 10% tip and even explained respectfully why he felt the experience did not justify more. To end on a positive note, the baked sushi roll I ordered was actually delicious. However, the drinks were subpar and overall the food did not meet expectations. Unfortunately, this is not somewhere I would return to.
