I was in the area for church and needed some food so decided to stop in. I'd been before and had the lobster fried rice which was really good. I decided to get some tempura with a salad on the side. And a boba drink. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious as was the drink. The service is friendly. The prices are good. And it's a cute little restaurant to dine in or carry out. I'll definitely stop in again when in the area.

was surprised, and then impressed by the meal I shared at Summer Wood Cafe. The tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and eel quality was first rate and the sushi rice was excellent. I admired the artistry of the avocado shavings that accompanied our dragon roll. Based on this meal I'd recommend almost any sushi they have. I laughed to myself when, following a conversation with our attentive waitress, I realized that hot green tea is an off-menu item here. And it was served properly: just short of boiling hot, with the pot left at our table for self-refills.

We stumbled upon Summer Wood Cafe after an impromptu trip to Sawgrass Mills. We were met with friendly and attentive service from what appeared to be their only server. Our food came out promptly and tasted amazing! We both ordered tea - mine was passion fruit and lychee and my fiancés was just passion fruit.

Honestly I don't have much to say but only that the food was amazing! Small business owner and the food is definitely made with passion! Their fried rice beats every hibachi restaurant I ever went too. 10/10 would recommend. Very small and lowkey shop and super fast service.

Rainbow roll

This review is based on take out* Tired and hungry parents treating themselves to sushi after the baby goes to bed. Summer wood cafe did not disappoint! Wow amazing taste! I've tried a lot of sushi and is always hard to find authentic, fresh, sushi. Summer wood cafe delivered just that. We also ordered pork dumplings and they were a great tasty addition. I will be going back to experience the ambiance and sitting down service, but for now the food has already won me over!

Cheesecake tempura

First time coming here based on reviews and crossed our fingers it would be as good as promised and it was, every appetizer was great sushi was great the mango passion tea was shockingly amazing chunks of actual fruit inside. Service was lovely but my favorite part is it didn't have a fishy smell walking no oil smell it had a pleasant smell walking in and the place was as so clean. Even the shelves next to our table was dust free. 10/10 if you're picky about where you eat I absolutely re

I've been here twice now. Just moved to the area. It's 1000% questionable when sushi restaurants need to add cream cheese to their rolls but so far so good. My son enjoyed his steak hibachi. The lunch hibachi or sushi special is definitely worth it. $15 for sushi and $19 for hibachi. No, you don't hear or see the hibachi grill. The teas are delicious and taste fresh. I'm looking forward to trying a coffee drink next time.

Never disappoints absolutely fantastic every single time With every single bite, I love this place more and more From the beef fried rice to the delicious honeydew or lychee smoothies, don't even get me started on the strawberry flavor Chen-Chen & LAN-Lan are my heroes Comfortable relax, atmosphere Bigger than best service, possible, friendly, and memorable staff

Matcha water  . Waste my money .. how u go wrong with a matcha ?

Today I ordered Matcha with cake batter taro it taste like water . I told the lady who took my order & she just looked at me like there is nothing she can do .. shrimp tempura wasn't all that. I'm sure they have better options. I won't be going back here .!

Tempura sweet potato
Phoebe E.

This shop is tucked away in a quiet plaza just next to the DMV. The inside of the restaurant is very cozy, clean and cute. The staff is friendly and welcoming. While I was eating, what seemed like a regular came in and the server was excited to see them, welcoming them back into the restaurant like a good friend. I tried to order something I had before but the server told me they no longer sold it but kindly suggested an alternative. I opted to eat in. The key west roll was very tasty, it had raw tuna, cucumber, and topped with eel. I also got the tempura sweet potato which was extremely hot and fresh. Very crispy and was served with a sweet chili sauce. I also had an iced matcha tea latte with oatmilk and it was pretty tasty. A little on the sweet side for me but it seems like it's customizable. Food service and atmosphere is great. Prices for the food are a little high but I'm willing to pay a little extra for great service.

Rainbow Roll and Tuna Roll
Benjamin H.

Summer wood cafe is great food and service! We stumbled across this hidden gem and gave it a try. First off the staff are so nice and accommodating. They have plenty of hibachi options. Now this isn't a restaurant where they'll cook the food in front of you, but the food tastes amazing. A group of us went and we split some sushi and hibachi. The sushi was great! We didn't get any house rolls unfortunately, but the rainbow roll and tuna roll were both great. Tasted great and fresh, they were prepared well. The hibachi was also fantastic! Steak was actually medium rare just like we ordered, the fried rice was fantastic, as were the vegetables. All round just a fantastic dish. Topped it off with a boba tea, which they've got tons of options for. We'll for sure be returning, great food, great people, great price!

Hibachi steak lunch special togo
Henry V L.

Summmer Wood Cafe What can I say? The hibachi was really salty With exception to the steak and veggie The steak wasn't chewy which was great But the fried rice was not the same great taste It also came with ginger salad and egg roll A generous meal for lunch though The veggies were really good but not the sauce and salad I felt like nothing touched my pallet I believe it's because I got my order togo But now next time I know

Was in the area and decided to pop in and check out this place for lunch! The hibachi lunch specials are a pretty good deal! Only $15.99. Pretty tasty with the salad & the ginger dressing was different but tasty. For our appetizers we got the takoyaki (squid balls) but they were just ok, I probably would not get them again. However, the crab angels were stuffed and a great choice for an appetizer if you like crab Rangoons! Lots of menu items to choose from. I also got a HK boba milk tea, that was okay. I wished I would've gotten a lychee smoothie instead- seems like a tasty option. Considering everyone who was picking up to go orders got a smoothie. This place was really spacious and lots of decor around it. The staff seemed friendly as well. Our total came out to $75 as we also ended up ordering hibachi to go. I probably would recommended eating there though!

The sushi is always incredibly fresh and delicious, and the service is consistently friendly, professional, and welcoming. Sashigami is wonderful and always makes the experience feel special. There's always such a great vibe here. Amazing food, beautiful concept, fresh ingredients, and excellent service. I absolutely love coming here and highly recommend it!

If you've ever been walking through Sawgrass Mills Mall, bags in both hands, and thought, "You know…read morewhat would really complete this retail journey? Sushi... delivered by conveyor belt," then Sushigami is about to be your place. Let's set expectations properly. The sushi here is not life changing. This is not the meal you'll be telling your grandchildren about. On sushi alone, it's a solid three stars. Totally fine, very average, and honestly exactly what you want when you're eating raw fish inside a mall the size of a small country. But then the conveyor belt starts rolling, and suddenly none of that matters. Plate after plate of sushi cruises past you like it's auditioning for your attention. You lock eyes with one. You make a decision. You pull it off the belt, crack open the lid, take a bite, and feel like you just won something. No waiting, no awkward server check-ins, just instant sushi gratification. The pricing system somehow turns dinner into a game. You pay by the color on the rim of the plate. Blue plate is five bucks. Orange plate is eight. Before you know it, you're stacking plates, doing mental math mid-bite, and quietly negotiating with yourself about whether one more plate is "basically free." And if nothing rolling by is calling your name, the menu has your back. The salmon tacos are the standout. They're absolutely loaded with salmon, aggressively messy, and require a full commitment to eating like a feral raccoon. Delicious, sloppy, and worth it. So yes, Sushigami lands at three stars overall. The sushi is average, but the experience is fun, fast, and strangely entertaining. Where else can you sit in the middle of a mall, watch sushi parade past you, and eat until your shopping fatigue completely disappears? Not fine dining. Not a hidden gem. Just a good time, some decent sushi, and a conveyor belt that understands the assignment.

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™.

Alrighty this is rare for me, but this location is getting two stars…read more I want to start with review off by saying the food was not bad. It wasn't the food that was the issue it was the oddness of the service and my experience. 1) We were two people and clearly wanted a booth but apparently the were all taken so instead of sitting us at a table they say us at the tinest bar. 2) When I asked for eel sauce, she gave me terriaki instead and then proceeded to charge for it. I was like girl this is not eel sauce. I know eel sauce. It was terrible. 3) The sushi roll was so small. I ordered a rainbow roll and I was still hungry. Also I would like to add they didn't have tuna crispy rice!! 4) Paid almost $100 and for what? I don't feel like it was worth it. 5) Service was slow for not such a busy night. Overall my experience here was more like "it doesn't matter who you are, it's who you're with." Because this sushi spot sucked. I know such better places and for it being a second date with someone I didn't do a good job at picking this restaurant to eat at.

We've tried the sushi, the soups, the poke bowl, the Chilean sea bass.

As a whole, I did enjoy cilantro's. They definitely have an impressively large selection of sushi rolls and they were good. However, and maybe I am just spoiled because the sushi in Orlando is delicious, I found that many of their rolls were pricy for what they were. I will say if you want a good raw fish sushi roll, the Cilantro roll is very good. While I liked the fish on top of the Hocho Motto roll, I did not care for the contents of the roll itself as much. I did get to try one of their tuna appetizer which were delicious, so I definitely recommend their tuna. I hope to explore the menu and order something else next time I am down. But as of right now, nothing has blown me away.
