Very nice place BUT VERY LOW CUSTOMER SERVICE QUALITY, we had to wait almost 2 hours in the line and they never call us to give us a table... of course, at the end, we prefer to go to another restaurant.

Food is great, service is as expected when waiting on hibachi and regular tables. Make sure you check your bills there is a 20 + gratuity added to all bills. You can ask for it to be adjusted to 20% but then there is a space for additional tip. Just check your bills. The food is good and so is the service. If you go to these kind of places you know what it cost. Will definitely go again. It's on the Marina so great view. Everyone should check out. 5 stars!!! 😎👍

Surprisingly good sushi for what I was expecting on a small Florida island. Enjoyable decor and great views of the yachts at the marina where it is located. Plenty of parking too which can be difficult when going to other restaurants on the island.

Food is usually really good. The hibachi service is usually really bad unfortunately.EDIT-Last experience was much improved. We ordered drinks, appetizers and hibachi immediately when we sat down and that seemed to fix previous issues with service. It was also a Sunday and was not extremely crowded. Food was good as always.

We order for pickup and thankfully was staying just down the road cause we had to go back as they gave us the wrong order. Not only did we make 2 trips but for the money it was unfortunately not worth it. We were so excited to try them and looking forward to going back to dine in , in the future. Unfortunately we wont be back.

Amazing food with a great dockside atmosphere. The Beef Nagimaki was to die for! The steak wrapping the vegetables was nicely spiced and practically melts in your mouth. We sat dockside and it was lovely, especially early, before it became crowded. They had 3 kinds of Japanese beer. Their Key Lime pie was uniquely styled, very artistic in appearance, but average in taste.

The BEST Sushi we have ever had...and have had alot! Fresh from appetizer of seaweed salad to delicious rolls. We finished up with tempura banana dessert- a first but surely not the last time to enjoy . Seth was attentive server, and on point with suggestions. very clean, masks on to table during this pandemic. The location is a bit tucked away...but is waterfront and beautiful.

Amazing sushi but awful service (not rude or anything just take forever). Sushi rolls are the only thing we ever get here which takes over an hour but it's delicious. We got takeout and it took over 2 hours for our sushi to be ready after them giving us a wrong ETA every time, we left without some rolls because it took so long to even talk to the hostess

We came as a group of 5 for dinner on a Sunday. The restaurant was not very busy and they honored our reservation time. The food was excellent. The service was lacking - long waits between being checked in and from ordering to receiving drinks.

Horrible service. It took them 15mins to check on our table and then took another 10 minutes to get us water. That too we calling them and letting them know we need water. Why would anyone open a restaurant if they cannot even provide basic service. They were polite but very late and lazy service. But food is great though.so go here if you have atleast 2 hrs time to spend.

Food and drinks are good but do not go here on a busy weekend! We had a reservation for 7:00 and arrived in time, placed our order. Our food finally arrived at 8:30. The waiter did tell us once that the the kitchen was running behind but they obviously were not prepared for a crowd. We asked to see the manager twice but he was too busy. We did get 10% off our bill but the whole experience was exhausting and we will not return.

Food and service were excellent. The sushi was perfectly prepared and paired well with our Martinis. I just have to rave on the beef fried rice, it was by far the best I have ever eaten. Walk in or drive your boat right up for a nice treat and good experience.

Have been here a few times, it's the same deal. Long wait to be seated. Like really long almost an hour. Not enough people working, meant we waited long for the food, which was not good anyway. Not worth the aggravation to be honest and I have a hard time believing the positive reviews for this place they seem fake. Also be aware there is an automatic gratuity of 20% placed on the bill. This for waiting a long time and a non existent waiter who won't be around if you need anything while eating.
