“We went to this restaurant for my daughters birthday. She had been there previously for her husband‘s birthday, so she wanted to go back for hers. All in all the service was excellent, very attentive. I can’t say I wasn’t happy with my food because he asked my daughter if she wanted her steak medium rare that she had and he didn’t ask me if I wanted my steak on my Noodles meet them where are we are done so when it came, it was medium rare I can’t eat me to where I feel like blood in my mouth so I asked him to go back and make it well done so they actually went back and literally bought the meat to every bite that I took take it tasted like burnt grill Choco pie crispy very unhappy with my meal very dissatisfied but other than that my daughter like to hurtful my son-in-law like this food oh my granddaughter, she did not eat her food but all in all it was OK experience just not happy with my food“

“The sushi and salad combo were delicious, as always. Our server, Ms. Darling, added to the enjoyment of the evening---always available when needed and very pleasant and knowledgeable.“

“I got the food delivered. The delivery was over an hour late due to an issue. I was concerned the food would be in bad condition but even the whip was still frosty. Everything was tasty and I love all the options.Vegetarian options: You can customize your bowl with shrooms and sprouts. They also have some vegetarian sides.“

“After a long flight, I was thrilled to find my favorite sushi spot still open. I called ahead to ensure they'd prepare my order, making them my first stop after landing. They were attentive to my timing instructions, and as always, the food and service was impeccable.“

“This place is just AMAZING! I don’t know why I took so long to visit!The place is very well decorated, clean, with a pleasant atmosphere. We ordered Miso soup (one of the best I had in Sarasota), Guioza (became my favorite), and the sushi: Volcano, Philadelphia and Fuji Roll, they were all incredible! We will definitely come back again with friends and family“

“Despite this place being 30 mins way from our home and countless other sushi restaurants in between we are happy to drive to Utamaro. We love their rolls, sushi and sashimi. Service is always on point, ask for Jade to be your server, she is great. Very welcoming and nice clean interior.“

“I was having a bad day. Like the worst day of my life. And all I wanted was poke. The staff could see it in my eyes and were super nice and grateful. They checked on me and were super sweet. I got up to clean up, and there was a box of pocky waiting for me on my table and a silent smile. The food is amazing but it’s because of the service that I come in every week. ❤️. Thank you for making my day suck less.“

“We love the food and the owners! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Always delicious!“

“My family and I ate at Rose and Ivy for the first time last night and we will 100% be going back! We have been coming to Sarasota for many years and this is now going to be one of our favorite restaurants. We were eating at Clasico (another favorite of ours) the other night when we met the owner and he informed us he recently opened another restaurant around the corner that we should try out, so the next night we took him up on his advice and we’re glad we did! The atmosphere was incredible as was the food and service. We indulged in some appetizers, sushi, and our filet was amazing! If you’re looking for a unique menu this place is a must try as there’s something on the menu that’ll interest anybody. The patio area is beautiful!“

“great quality sushi. nice comfortable intimate atmosphere. highly recommend!!“

“All other sushi places we've been to in Sarasota have been okay at best, but we finally tried Sushi Bay and wish we had been coming here all along. Not only was our server Angga attentive, but he was very friendly and enthusiastic, something you don't often get in authentic sushi restaurants, or frankly most restaurants in Sarasota, in general. The sushi rolls were generously filled with flavorful fish, and beautifully garnished. Excellent product presentation! The atmosphere was clean, neat, and welcoming. Ambiance was classy, but comfortable. The owner even came by to greet us in a genuinely friendly demeanor, which is rare for any restaurant on a Sunday evening. Pricing was very fair, especially for currently being in an economic state of hyperinflation. Bottom line is we'll be back again soon, and regularly!“

“I’ve had alot of sushi but this is by far the best sushi in town period! Larry and the staff are super friendly and the food is phenomenal! I wish I could give more than 5 stars Bc the food and hospitality is amazing! Definitely going back!“

“We enjoyed our experience and would return.“

“Bushido Sushi SRQ is amazing. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. Winnie and Ivy are always so welcoming, kind and helpful. The food is incredible - literally everything we've ever tried has been fantastic (and it's probably been everything they offer by now). The Gyoza and Shumai are the best I have ever had. But, don't let the word get out - I like hidden gems all to myself!“

“Awesome sushi - as always!“

“Wonderful food and service“

“food is spot on. Fast curtious help. great place. go check it out“

“I'm normally a very picky eater but the food was amazing. I loved the little bowls of spiced vegetables brought out before the meal. I can't stand cucumbers and this was the only time I was able to eat and ENJOY cucumbers.Our server was fantastic, very friendly. It was a very nice restaurant. Though I didn't get any of the snacks (this time!), I loved the little snack bar. Fantastic idea!“

“Good quantity of sushi for the price. Sushi is decent. The highlight is in the dessert though. Their thai tea & green tea ice cream are exceptionally cheap & good!!! We went back for the green tea ice cream. Better than hagendazs for half the “

“The Best…aroouund (cue Karate Kid song). We recently moved south and miss this place a lot. The food here is excellent. I always get thai hot chicken pad thai, and it couldn’t be better. Got my parents addicted to this place since they live around the corner. I make it a point to order from here when I visit. Super friendly service, always accurate on the orders, always fresh and delicious. As someone that loves thai food, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT.“

“Second time dining here. Really love this place and the patio is delightful. Not sure what happened because our first visit everything was perfectly timed. Last visit from the time we were seated until our entrees came was 2 hours and 15 mins. Maybe longer. It's like our party of four got forgotten. We were having such a good time with friends we didn't really notice at first but then saw other tables that had come in much later than us were being served. Odd. Hoping this is just a once off kinda thing.“

“Service was great and loved our lunch specials“

“We enjoyed our sushi, the service and the atmosphere there! Definitely will be back!“

“I’m not sure what I was expecting….but I can say, any expectations were blow away….from the front entrance to the bathrooms….everything was so beautiful….the food was spectacular (so many choices everything so hot and fresh) the staff was on point at all times….Cant wait to return…Sarasota needed a place like this !!!“

“Now I get why this place was so busy on a Tuesday night. ?We ordered both from the sushi menu and the Thai menu and both were very yummy! I especially loved the volcano roll and the shrimp summer rolls. The peanut dressing that came with them was very flavorful and delicious. Will definitely be back ??“

“Great sushi and service for a decent price.“

“Ahhh this restaurant is really really awesome! It isn’t an enormous place but is comfortabl! I suggest for alone people who wanna eat a delicious food, because you can seat on the “bar” and be served. If you like boba teas or special juices they also have a unit at the same building.“

“This place is so good! My 2nd favorite Thai place ever!“
