I came here with my dad and best friend. the restaurant itself was very small but nice enough inside. the man working (I'm not sure if he was the owner?) was very friendly and chatty. my dad ordered a sashimi nigiri combo, while my friend and I both ordered lunch combos (two rolls and soup or salad). I chose the JB and spicy tuna rolls. there was an ant under the glass on the table. no big deal, it's south Florida, it happens he brought over some dishes for soy sauce and returned to making food. we picked up the dishes to pass around and immediately noticed each one was covered in ants. at least 5-10 on each dish, so we pointed it out and he got new ones unfortunately when the food came out, my JB roll had a dead fly on it. at first I thought it was a really big sesame seed, but then I noticed distinct wings on it. the man was very apologetic and offered cooked food instead, but unfortunately I was too put off at that point to eat the food. my friend and dad both also elected to not eat I really wanted to give this place a good review because I truly love supporting local businesses, but the excess bugs on the plates as well as food... I can't give more than one star. read more

Food was amazing and so was the service!! Woody the owner makes all the good in house and it's all fresh. 11/10 recommended for some cozy and very tasty Japanese food! read more

Sushi Boat - Japanese Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

See all

We stopped by here for lunch. The restaurant is tiny! Probably the smallest we've been to in a very long time. There are a few booths and a sushi counter and that's about it. There was only one gal dining in when we came, but they were doing a bit of takeout/pick up during the lunch hour while we were there. And there was one very friendly guy cooking the food and preparing the sushi and waiting on us -- all by himself. Parking is limited right outside the restaurant which is in a very small strip of stores and another restaurant. It's located on the west side of Cypress Road (18th) just south of the Publix grocery store. We'd been here once many years ago. And we frequent Calypso across the street. The menu is huge. It's about 6 pages long and there are a lot of combos and options from which to choose. There are cooked items as well as sushi. It was hard to decide what to have. My husband chose one of their lunch specials. It turned out to be two pieces of salmon, two pieces of tuna, and two shrimp plus a California roll. I chose their salmon crunch roll. We both added a house salad to start. We were told that the ginger dressing was house made -- and it was quite good. I loved my salmon crunch roll. I'd asked for the salmon to be cooked through and it was. This roll has no rice, but it has salmon, asparagus, cream cheese, and crab meat all in a tempura batter. It was delicious with a bit of eel sauce. The prices here are pretty reasonable, as well. If you like to support local businesses and you are in the area, this place is well worth a visit. We know we will be back more often when craving sushi. read more

They wouldn't honor the special price they advertised online and when I arrived to pick it up it was cancelled. On top of that the person behind the sushi bar had an attitude with me and started yelling. The place is also dirty and looked very rundown. I wanted to try but I would never eat from this gross restaurant. read more

This place is so cozy and the food is really good especially for the price I would come here everyday for lunch if I could 10/10 would recommend read more

I had been looking for a good (just good) sushi place in south Florida for over 4 years and I finally found one. It's a small hole in the wall like the best restaurants out of NYC. Owned by an awesome family And the fish is sooo fresh!!! The menu is a lot bigger than the website shows read more

Great little sushi place! Sushi was delicious and fresh. Highly recommended, their menu has many great options.

I have been a resident of Pompano Beach for years and I finally tried out Sushi Boat and I cannot express enough in words how excited I am to have found this hidden gem. It is now my go-to sushi place in the area. This family owned business provides the best service, attention, and quality. I highly recommend this place! read more

Not from the area and this place was near our rental. Easy to order on yelp and the food came as ordered. Good sushi!

This is hands down the BEST SUSHI I HAVE EVER HAD. The man making the sushi was incredibly sweet, great sense of humor and even BROUGHT NAPKINS TO MY CAR when he realized we were eating in the car. 10/10 would DEFINITELY recommend! New favorite spot. read more

Sushi Boat - Volcano, Japanese Bagel Crunch, Spider, American Dream roll - Japanese Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

One of my favorite spots for 10+years. Family ownee and operated. Small place hidden in a small center in pompano. Sushi is always fresh and adequate amount ot food given. For covid they are wearing masks, washing hands and have sanitizer available. They do a lot of takeout and delivery. Make sure to support pompano small business!! read more

Great sushi: Very good portions, good price and the owners are very friendly. We will come back :-) read more

This is my friends go to sushi spot. She took me last night to check it out, since she knows how much I love sushi! Sushi Boat is a cute little hole in the wall dive that offers an array of sushi along with many other dishes. The moment you walk in you're greeted by the friendly owner, Ling. Ling is very sweet and really takes pride in her restaurant. Her son also works there and was our waiter. He was great! I didn't get to meet Lings husband Woody but I hear he's great also! We started with some hot sake, a salmon crunch roll, a spicy crab roll, a Mexican roll, a spicy jb roll and two pieces of salmon sushi. All delicious and plated so nicely. Their spicy mayo is also a must try! If you're in the area I recommend popping in or ordering some sushi to go, it seems to be more of a to-go place. They had many pick up orders while we were dining in. Ling even sent us home with some yummy chips. Can't wait to return to try different rolls and dishes! read more

This is hands down the best sushi ever! I had company over and they we're also amazed! They delivery guy topped it off!! Love him!! The best!! read more

Diamond in the rough! Rather modest place run by a family who truly cares about providing great food. We ordered 40 Nigiri Sushi and a roll, all a la carte. The fish was sweet, fresh and unusually large atop the rice. The roll was equally tasty. Very generous portions at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended for take-out. read more

The service was very pleasant, however the food left very to desired. I ordered sashimi and the pieces of fish where cut with a chopper knife, the salmon was not not cut al the way through. The tuna was flaky, the ginger had a bad taste. In other words the worst sashimi I ever ate. Please put more attention to this details. read more

Favorite Sushi restaurant in South Florida.I have been enjoying the hospitality of Woody and his wife who treat us like family when my wife and I visit for a great meal.Thank you for your service to the pompano community and providing great service and food at a great price. Chris Clay read more

I've been eating here for a few months now and I love it. The owners are a nice polite family and the quality of fish is good. It's also conveniently located next to Publix so you can get some groceries while you pick up their take-out sushi. I'm eating from there again tonight read more

I feel bad writing this because everyone that works here was very nice... BUT the food was horrible. I was craving sushi and wanted something fast so I got takeout based on the reviews. I got gyoza, a spicy salmon roll, and the salmon lovers special. The gyoza tasted like microwaved cardboard and the salmon was super fishy fishy... not good at all. I literally had to throw away $25 worth of food. read more

The food was meh... not good, not bad - just meh. The service was choppy at best. Won't go back

Food was good and quick! Seems like more of a take out or delivery place, but it was close to home so we ate in. I had tuna and salmon sushi and a JB roll. The fish was fresh and rice was perfect. I loved that this was definitely a family run spot. They were friendly and I love supporting local small businesses. Place looks very "authentic" inside and is tiny, only four tables, but who cares!! Will probably only take out from now on, but happy to have found a close, inexpensive, and good sushi spot! read more

Sushi Boat - Japanese Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

During my time living in Pompano Beach I visited Sushi Boat a number of times. The small family owned shop has a great atmosphere that makes you feel like a guest in someone's home. I always enjoyed the volcano roll when I went. Once while we ate inside the owners young son sat near us playing League of Legends on his laptop. Major bonus points. read more

Sushi Boat - Bar area. - Japanese Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

This is my first time checking in and I find this gem to be a wonderful place for Japanese. The menu is plentiful. I ordered the lunch special and would have to say it was one of these sushi rolls I ever had. The atmosphere is home-like, and small business owner owned. I would recommend the overall restaurant as a 4, but the service I would remember a 5. When I first walked in it was past the regular rush hour. The owner came from the back and was kind enough to make sure ALL of my requests were met. It sits on the corner of 5th and Cypress, just south of the Publix plaza so you may pass it on your first drive. I'm glad I found this mom and pop restaurant, they will definitely be seeing me again. read more

Freshest tasting sushi I have had In a long time! I'm a Florida native so we know there is a lot of competition down here. Owner of Sushi Boat are so kind. Definitely our new go to sushi spot. YUM read more

Really dig the ambience of the spot. It was very small and quaint, but very wholesome. The food itself was very fast and tasty and the rice was very surprisingly good. It was tiny, very tiny, but it's a hole in the wall chance spot that really paid off in my case. Great sushi! read more
