Best Japanese Restaurants in Melrose Manors

Our only disappointment with the restaurant was not having visited it sooner. Living in the neighborhood, we bypassed it many times before venturing out on a Monday night. To our amazement, the food, the ambiance and service were beyond expectations. Our server, Thomas, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. His recommendation of a variation of our usual unfiltered sake was right on. Walking us through the menu, we selected the tuna tower, the Korean barbecue with rice, the grilled octopus and the crispy duck entre. All were excellent but the octopus and the duck were particularly noteworthy. Having worked in Turkey for many years, we can appreciate the correct way to tenderize and char grill octopus. Here, it was done to perfection. Likewise, the duck was crispy on the outside yet still moist on the inside after being sliced and quartered. The outside seating was not overcrowded like many similar venues, and the volume of the music did not preclude us from having strained conversations. While pricey by some Fort Lauderdale standards, it was well worth. Lastly, we were pleased that are open table reservation was promptly honored notwithstanding a busy restaurant.

Fresh, delicious and look at the variety on the menu! Any cravings can be satisfied in one place! Will be back for more!

Amazing birthday dinner with my husband! Service 10/10 and food was delish. DJ created awesome vibes, love the decor and ambiance. Only thing I would recommend is to have a cashless option to purchase hookah.

This was a very nice dinner! The pink Christmas decor was super cute and fun! We had tuna tartar, meatballs, filet with cowboy butter and lamb lollipops. Everything was delish!

Jeff and the rest of the team make the best experience from delicious sushi that can’t be found anywhere else, to a friendly atmosphere that makes for a great time every time - highly recommend.
