Jeffrey Chodorow’s famed China Grill waited 20 years to land in Fort Lauderdale, but now that it has, this glitzy pan-Asian fusion eatery is attracting the young and beautiful in droves. From the infused saketinis and Poire cocktails to the giant platters of spareribs, moo shu duck, overwrought sushi rolls, mountains of toro and Kobe, […]
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 […]
We’ve all had ramen. For most Americans, it comes from styrofoam cups in flavors like “oriental” and “seafood.” We eat it when we are short on time, hungover, broke, or living in a dorm. If cup o’ noodles instant ramen is all you’ve ever known, it can be hard to get excited about a bowl […]
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 […]

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 […]
The Mai-Kai is easy to love. It’s not that its oversized tiki cocktails and Lobster Tahitienne are anything to write home about. It’s just that you can’t set foot in the place without succumbing to a deep enchantment: You’ve entered a waking dreamworld, part Blue Lagoon, part Monkey’s Paw. Maybe because it’s dark as a […]
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 – […]
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 […]
With a view like this, it’s no wonder this oceanfront bistro is packed during season with snowbirds snapping phone photos of the pier to taunt snow-shoveling friends back home. A wide selection of seafood anchors the menu at this casual-chic spot, but it’s the creative extras like seafood hummus or beef picadillo empanada that shake […]

Off the Hookah is downtown Fort Lauderdale’s dance club, hookah lounge, and waterfront dining wrapped up in one sexy, Mediterranean-themed venue. Vegas-style flair bartenders serve the drinks, belly dancers arouse the onlookers, and the Mediterranean and sushi menu tantalizes the taste buds. There are cabana beds throughout the venue; thus, you can ask someone to […]
This spot is supposed to be known for its sushi, but food seems to take a backseat once the cocktails are served. What? You’ve never tried a lemony-raspberry Blushing Geisha ($20)? Before you get schnockered tasting all the inventive spirits, start out with the lobster spring rolls (yeah, that orange stuff inside is mango, mixed […]
Red Ginger covers all bases with a pan-Asian menu that stretches from China to Thailand. The spacious restaurant is draped in steely grays with lipstick-red accents. The food showcases similar contrast. Chinese classics like kung pao chicken and Szechuan beef share space with wok-fried Thai soft-shell crab and spicy beef and lime salad. Sushi from […]
