You have no idea what you are missing out on. The atmosphere along with dining experience is perfect every time we visit here. I recommend ordering whatever you are craving and you won't be disappointed. Today, we ordered the Otoro spoons, sushi moriwase, chef special appetizers, chicken pad Thai, grilled octopus, toro sashimi, scallop sashimi, sweet shrimp nigiri, and ube flan for dessert. The quality of the fish was fresh as usual, and the customer service was on point. Thank you so much Ha, for serving us, and we will definitely be back for some more sushi in the near future. Yes, I would recommend this place to other sushi lovers as well as customers who enjoy kitchen food because they aren't yet accustomed to eating raw fish. This restaurant offers plenty of free parking spaces. Thank you Chef Jimmy, chef Hanes, Kayla, and Kristal for preparing our food today. Also, thank you Ha for serving us and making sure that we have everything we needed!

Set back in the retail plaza behind the McDonald's at University Drive just north of 595, Otoro…read moreSushi 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.

Dining at Marumi Sushi for tonight's dinner made me wonder why I haven't tried this place sooner…read more My girlfriend and I were seated within seconds of entering the restaurant, the server we had today was prompt and efficient, and the booth was spacious and comfy enough for two. Marumi Sushi has a wide variety of menu to choose from sushi to cooked food from the kitchen. We ordered different appetizers, small portioned food, some ramen and seafood & veggies hotpot. They literally have everything on the menu even the ones I didn't know I was craving for until I saw them on the menu. My girlfriend loves uni (sea urchin) so we ordered two pieces (1 pc per order) at a reasonable price. It was good for the price of ($14.50 may change due to market fluctuation). It wasn't Japanese uni, it looked and tasted like the ones from California. Nonetheless, it was good, especially with uni being scarce temporarily. We also tried their grilled shishito peppers (nice mini app to snack on), fried tofu with chicken sauce (very hot inside so be careful, but it was tasty and light enough to enjoy other dishes), spicy salmon roll wrapped in soy paper (very simply roll and tasty, you don't get tired of it after eating couple pieces), nato beans and rice with Ikura and quail eggs (tasted little blend but couldn't complain for the portion and quality), seafood hotpot (will satiate your hotpot craving until next time, and Michelle ramen (which was mediocre at best). I got the impression that the place is neat and well kept. I will definitely be going back for the second and third time. There are plenty of free parking spaces in the plaza. Try and let me know if you enjoyed it as much as we did!

So this was actually my second time at Naori, and I brought my brother and my childhood best friend…read moreTatiana because I wanted her to experience it too. 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! This establishment has been Tamied™.

We ordered sushi, salad, burger, and hibachi. Everything tasted delicious. However, everything was brought out at very different times. This made for a very awkward lunch. I was done with my entrée and my husband had hadn't been served yet. The waiter seemed overwhelmed. He was apologizing to the table next to us, and then he apologized to us as well. Seems like they were understaffed or not properly trained. This is a shame because the restaurant has a lot of potential.

Stopped in on a Saturday around lunchtime and it was pretty slow, so we were seated right away and…read moregot menus quickly. The ambiance was really nice cute spot with outdoor seating, light and airy throughout. The bar area had the windows/screens open, so it felt bright, cozy, and inviting. Definitely a vibe for a casual lunch or date. Unfortunately, the service was very slow despite it not being busy. We were told there was only one sushi chef working, which explained the delay, but it still affected the overall experience. The food itself was good the sushi rolls were flavorful and the sauces paired really well. My drink was also on point. 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.

We started off dinner with Edamame and for dinner I had the queenie and honestly it was freaking amazing. It was garlicky and delicious; I could have easily consumed another plate. My husband had the Koume and he enjoyed it. We shared the pork gyozas and they were tasty. The kids had the chicken katsu with a side of white rice and they seemed pleased with it. Naturally we tasted it and the chicken was fried perfectly and the katsu sauce was yummy. If you can, try to make reservations. We got there close to 7 and thankfully only waited 5 mins but it starts to get really busy after 7:30. Service was extremely fast and we were in and out within an hour which is always lovely with children.

I'm really happy to be back and I'll definitely be coming often again like usual. Just one small ask: please don't seat us with that same server again (if she's still there). Other than that, everything was perfect. Thank you so much. Love you, Imasa.

The spicy tuna roll and oysters were amazing. We followed that with the crab fried rice, intending…read moreto save some for our entrée, but it was so good we ended up eating almost all of it before the main courses arrived -- like potato chips, impossible to stop. The bulgogi was fantastic -- a little messy to eat, but absolutely worth it. The lettuce leaves provided were on the small side, making it difficult to load them with both rice and meat, but the flavor more than made up for it. My wife ordered the fish and enjoyed it very much. Keep room for the ice cream rolls, an extra special treat to finish the dinner. Our server was friendly, attentive, and provided good service throughout the meal. If you choose to dine outside, the beach view is beautiful, but be prepared for some wind -- at one point it literally blew my lettuce leaves off the table. One note on parking: valet is $60 if you want your car kept up front, which is the highest valet charge we've experienced. Restaurant validation reduces parking to $17, which is a much better option. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience with excellent food, beautiful scenery, and service that would bring us back again.

Absolutely phenomenal meal from start to finish!…read more Service was great I ordered a Coke Zero and as soon as she opened the can she heard how flat it sounded and took it and brought me a new one right away. We ordered the crispy tuna rice, dynamite shrimp, truffle salmon roll, and beef noodles and every single dish delivered. The crispy tuna rice was perfectly crunchy on the outside with melt-in-your-mouth tuna on top, balanced beautifully with just the right amount of sauce. Easily one of the best bites of the night. The dynamite shrimp were addictive crispy, juicy, and coated in a creamy, spicy-sweet sauce that had just enough kick without overpowering the shrimp. A little hesitant at first being almost $30 but it was worth it! The truffle salmon roll was rich and buttery. The truffle flavor was subtle but elevated the salmon perfectly without being too heavy. Super fresh and beautifully presented. And the beef noodles were comforting and packed with flavor. The noodles were perfectly chewy, the beef was tender, and the sauce tied everything together with a deep, savory richness. On top of the amazing food, the presentation was gorgeous and the atmosphere was warm and stylish perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

The setting in Bal Harbour is beautiful, very polished but still relaxed. It's definitely the kind of place you go for a nice dinner where you want things to feel a little elevated without being stuffy. Service was solid overall--attentive and professional, though at times it felt a bit rushed, like they were trying to keep the pace moving more than letting you fully enjoy the experience. Food-wise, there's a lot to love. The sushi was fresh and well-executed, and some dishes really stood out with great flavor and presentation. That said, a couple of items felt a bit underwhelming compared to the price point--good, but not quite memorable. Portions also lean on the smaller side, so it can add up quickly. All in all, it's a great spot with a cool vibe and very good food. Not flawless, but definitely worth going--especially if you're in the area and want a stylish dinner with consistently good quality.
