This boutique, six-table restaurant located off of Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale takes French technique and merges it with the ingredients of Japanese chef/owner Iwoa Kaita’s homeland. The result is as enticing as a well-written line of poetry. A specials board denotes what’s fresh daily and includes offerings like vibrant Florida stone crab baked with […]
Putting the “dine” in diner, the Thai and Japanese dishes at this roadside joint are superb. Mee krob isn’t too sweet; pad Thai isn’t too fishy; curries are beautifully balanced. For Japanese fare, order any one of the numerous fresh-fish rolls or the katsu – pounded chicken or pork that’s deep-fried and served with plum […]
Takeshi Kamioka has a solid pedigree in Japanese cooking. His father was a sushi chef brought over from Japan to work at Benihana in the ’70s who eventually opened his own shops, Japanese Steakhouse Village and Tokyo Sushi. So Kamioka grew up in the restaurant biz, then also worked a stint at Nobu in Miami […]
There’s something surreally Depression Era about finding anything on a menu that costs one buck, or even two bucks seventy-five. At Heart Rock, rock-bottom prices are the norm, not the exception. Skewers of zucchini, chicken, chicken liver, shrimp, or scallops cost less than $5 each; soups like crab-spinach, mussel-miso, or mixed vegetable come in under […]

This Korean-owned Japanese restaurant is an elegant surprise on the inside, and not just because the décor is attractive. Soups can be so-so and appetizers iffy. But sushi, especially white tuna, is reliably good. And the Korean barbecue, grilled right at the table, is tantalizing. Be sure to request the Korean menu and a grill […]
An agreeable if not exemplary example of teppanyaki, or artful and entertaining Japanese tableside cooking. Tables surrounding traditional grills and menus offering complete prix-fixe dinners make this a good place for a group to dine on fried rice, grilled vegetables, grilled seafood, seared steak, and the like. Chefs will automatically provide a little wrist music […]
Japango owner Kevin Lee makes it look so easy – but here, any bite is a revelation of flavors you’ve probably never tasted all in one place before. You’ll never again eat plain old tataki without yearning for Lee’s version; it’s like discovering a higher calling. Shallot-crusted tuna scatters crunchy bits of fried shallot over […]
Sophisticated big-city food, a gorgeous dining room, and the Keys’ laid-back ambiance combine to make this chic Islamorada restaurant one of the best and most appealing places to eat in the islands. Duck confit wrapped in green tea crêpes, tempura-fried baby abalone (don’t panic, they’re farm-raised) with wasabi sauce, and slippery udon noodles with shellfish […]
Although the raw and cooked fish here is stellar, Kiko is best-known for country-style Japanese fare. This clean, bright space in the Fountains Center offers food you’d discover a farmer serving to guests in the old country. Ramen and other noodle dishes are outstanding, as is the deep-fried pork cutlet with panko breading, a true […]

Sure, sushi and sashimi are in no short supply in Broward County, but that’s not all you’ll find at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s newest restaurant, Kuro. Named simply “Black” in Japanese, Kuro is the resort’s 9,500-square-foot showpiece, a custom-designed theater-style dining room set with booths and circular tables each presenting a clear […]
Lemon Grass is swank, but the price is right. The menu at this Fort Lauderdale spot verges on gigantic, but it?s easy to navigate, and your bill will be just as easy on your wallet. And unlike other multipage menus, this one hangs together beautifully and never loses focus, effortlessly drawing out Vietnamese, Chinese, Hawaiian, […]
The menu at Mama Asian Noodle Bar in the Coconut Creek Promenade doesn’t stop at noodles. In fact, its list of Thai-, Chinese-, Japanese-, and Vietnamese-inspired dishes is more extensive than restaurants that focus on just one country. It’s the third restaurant from Mike and Lisa Ponluang, who previously ran Coral Springs favorite Thai Pepper […]
Marumi, hidden in a sleepy strip mall in Plantation, defies the typical definition of a Japanese restaurant. The emphasis is on freshness and authenticity: a derivation of the Japanese practice of washoku, which favors of broad range of small bites over one main course. Take a glance at the specials board at Marumi — placed […]

This beautiful little room, with its waterfall and warm colors, has long been a favorite with locals. Young people crowd in on weekends for the specialty rolls, the stir fries, noodle dishes, and tempura vegetables, which you can order by the piece to mix and match. The sushi and sashimi here is about average – […]
You wouldn’t know it by the name, but this place has a sushi bar and a really long list of Japanese specialties. Still, it’s impossible to get past the Thai-ness of the place, from servers in traditional dress to giant prawns in wonderfully rich peanut sauce. Everything from the bright-yellow walls to the tangy tom […]
Nu-Sushi has been operating silently in the same dim spot on University Drive for going on 20 years now. In that tiny space that seats about 30, chef-owner Yuji Azuma turns out fresh sushi culled from local and international waters, as well as an extensive array of authentic Japanese dishes that you won’t find in […]
