“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10/10 Experience!) 
Kuro – Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood
This restaurant is absolutely amazing in every way—stylish, upscale, and unforgettable. But what truly made our experience exceptional was Cisame—hands down the best employee by far.
She went above and beyond with her sushi recommendations and completely knocked it out of the park. We even asked her to surprise us—and WOW—every dish she chose was perfect. You can tell she is incredibly seasoned at her craft. She doesn’t just serve food, she creates an experience.
Cisame has a rare gift. She makes you feel welcomed, valued, and excited about every course. Her passion, knowledge, and attention to detail truly set her apart. I write reviews often, but this one takes the sushi! 🍣😂
She is not only an outstanding server but also a teacher—guiding us through the menu effortlessly. You can also tell she leads by example with the team around her. She is truly an alpha in the restaurant industry—a diamond 💎.
To management and anyone in leadership—please recognize her. She is something special.
To Cisame: you are appreciated more than you know. My wife and I will absolutely be requesting you every time we return.
Shoutout as well to the bussers and support staff—great teamwork all around.
Amazing food, incredible service—we will definitely be back! 🙏🍣
Guido Is also Phenomenal At his craft as well Ty“

“Have been loving this place for years“

“Found this place on Trip advisor when I was in town for business. Looked like it would be a good place to try out. This is a Great place to go if you are in the mood for tasty food. I had their Wonton soup and Spring rolls for an appetizer. The soup was tasty and a large bowl of soup. Each chicken wonton was very good. The spring rolls were cooked just right along with the dipping sauce had the perfect amount of spice. My main course I had 2 sushi rolls. The Rainbow Dragon roll and the tempura tuna roll. Both were so good and each had 12 pieces. The presentation of the rolls was nice too. I couldn’t stop eating all the food it was so good. Service was fast, and very pleasant. I will come back here again and again.“

“Oh my God, I don’t believe how amazing food they have it , so tasty the Owner is so nice. The food is really really amazing. Must recommended five stars recommended ⭐️ ⭐️🌟🌟⭐️ 👏 Bree is so nice she help me to find a really good food 🥘 thanks Bree“

“Stopped by tonight omw home from dancing and glad I did. Food was delicious and fresh. Came out quickly and service was great. Bronson was our server and was such a sweetheart. Answered all of our questions and what he was unsure of he didn’t hesitate to ask the kitchen or nearest server about. I appreciated his efficiency and willingness to provide great service.“

“Best kept secret in Coral Springs. We ordered takeout today from this place and we ate like royalty. The food was abundant, delicious and meticulously prepared. Not only are they courteous and kind, they even added extra food for us as a bonus. My family were pleasantly surprised…thank you guys - you’ve made a loyal customer who will be recommending you to many others :)“

“El mejor pollo teriyaki 😋😋😋“

“Absolutely a five-star, must-experience adventure! Jeff and Jordan are simply incredible, radiating an infectious energy that transforms the atmosphere. Their vibrant personalities make every moment enjoyable, but it’s their culinary skills that truly steal the show. Each dish they create is a masterpiece, showcasing their passion and talent as chefs.

From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and excited. Jeff and Jordan’s enthusiasm is contagious, and their ability to engage with guests is unmatched. The whole experience is not just a meal; it's a delightful journey filled with laughter, creativity, and exceptional food.

I can’t recommend this experience enough—I’ll definitely be returning again and again. If you’re looking for an unforgettable culinary adventure, look no further!“

“Teriyaki Express is my go-to for a quick, reliable, and delicious meal. The chicken is always perfectly grilled and flavorful, and the portions of rice and vegetables are generous for the price. It’s hard to find a takeout joint that stays this consistent, but they nail it every time. If you’re looking for a savory, filling lunch or dinner that doesn't break the bank, this is the spot.“

“Just had lunch at Lucky Cat and it was absolutely incredible. Everything was fresh and executed well. If we lived here we would definitely eat here at least once a week!“

“The Best Sushi place in the area. Excellent customer service. Don't look no further if you want to have a best sushi!“

“G7 Rooftop is a fantastic kosher spot in Hollywood that delivers on every level. The food is consistently delicious, with beautifully prepared dishes and great flavors across the menu. The atmosphere is lively yet comfortable, making it perfect for a night out, a date, or dinner with friends.

The location couldn’t be better, right next to the Hard Rock Casino, which makes it an ideal stop before or after an evening out. The rooftop setting adds to the experience, giving the place a great vibe and energy.

If you’re looking for an upscale kosher restaurant with excellent food, a great scene, and an unbeatable location, G7 Rooftop is an incredible choice.“

“We loved this spot! We ordered the clásico ceviche, calamari, and Sakana roll. Everything is tapas style. We split those 3 and the both of us still left full. You can just taste the quality! We decided to go big and order the Sakana roll. It comes with fried lobster in too. It was absolutely delicious. We sat outside and enjoyed the atmosphere. They do offer happy hour at the bar only so we will be returning for that. All in all, a great experience.“

“Last night was my first time here. The food was great as well as the service. The fried snapper, lobster macaroni and cheese, and tempora shrimp sushi roll were all delicious. Can't wait to come back!“

“Riquísimo Todos ea exquisito Recomendado: atención comida todo“

“sushi best of Broward , consistent fresh ingredients.“

“Fantastic food,place and vibe Chicken wings with sauce Chicken teriyaki And crab Rangoon“

“Love this little family restaurant. It’s tucked away in the corner of the plaza, but once you find it you won’t be sorry. The service and the food is unmatched and the food portions will make sure you have leftovers. Also the sweet little ladies who are in the kitchen are also very welcoming and it’s a pleasure every time I get to see them. Highly recommended.“

“Sozo is the only place I will go to for sushi in Wilton / Fort Lauderdale. The fish is always buttery soft, the quality is consistently superior, and the customer service is genuinely welcoming. I cannot recommend this place enough. The passion for their craft is evident at every visit.“

“Service was great and prompt, excellent presentation and food was absolutely delicious. Alaskan sushi roll has real crab meat. Great portions“

“sashimi, Thai soup, duck soup, lucky wanton soup“

“This place is honestly a hidden gem… I say this because it is in the corner of the Coconut Creek Promenade lodged between two loud bars (They have noise canceling walls and doors). But inside you will find a high-quality Sushi/hibachi Restaurant with very decent prices and great drinks. The service is really good (Unlike the surrounding restaurants… ) and everyone who works there is very friendly. I’m a local to the area and go here very often. And seriously the sushi is so so good. Highly recommend!“

“Great food. We had Thai food and calamari was amazing. Staff was friendly and easy going. Love this place !!!“

“Stopped in while vacationing and had a wonderful experience, all around! Every thing ordered was simply divine. Well prepared and fresh. Had the Dubai Chocolate Crepe for birthday dessert. Delicious! Would definitely highly recommend and look forward to a future return.“

“Always great quantity & reasonable prices. Fast & efficient …. Grab and go 🍣🍱!! I’m a fan 🙋🏻‍♀️ ps: please open another location in Palm Beach County !! 😊🙏 thanks !“

“Great Shushi Restaurant! Enjoy my visit very much! Great service and fresh fish!“

“Excellent. Enjoyed my food.“

“There’s sushi is is yummy and fresh!“

“Creative and tasty rolls. Could be a little larger with more fish but...overall its a good place.“

“The absolute best sushi in Fort Lauderdale! Great place for a quick bite or date night!“

“Not sure if this is a national brand or just in the Fort Lauderdale area but it's the best Supermarket I've ever visited. There is absolutely everything you could want, good quality and price. We visited for snacks not really knowing what we wanted, a busy day, and came out with fresh cooked curry complete with sides. Cakes, beers etc are all available too... I intend to visit again before I leave on Thu“

“Delicious food! Reasonably priced“

“Jasmine Thai & Sushi does have very good food which I highly recommend. The restaurant is also violating Florida Statute 501.0117 by charging a 4% surcharge for using a credit card to pay your bill. For those of you who are unaware (most people) this is against the law and cannot be done. The business has been notified of their infraction and hopefully your next visit will not include this surcharge. If it does, be sure to dispute the fee. This is a State law and applies to any business which regularly accepts credit cards as payment. Ensure that your local businesses aren’t committing crimes against you.“

“Great food. Nice portions, Always very consistent I enjoy the waitresses they are very friendly and wear a smile, happy to help. Love Thiago place my go to sushi place.“

“sushi best of Broward , consistent fresh ingredients.“

“Friendly servers, best sushi I ever had Fire cracker is the new one on the list, and in my opinion the best! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ service.“

“Beautiful atmosphere, superior friendly service and delicious, flavorful food.“

“Ample parking in the front lot. Handicap slots are available . Excellent service for 4 for lunch. The staff greated us and we were seated. Drink order taken and lunch ordered. Extensive sushi menu. As well as traditional Tia dishes. The salads were served with an giner and pickled red onion dressing. The main courses were as ordered no problems and in a timely manner. My Tia rice and noodles were tasty. The sushi was fresh and generous servings provided. Prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity. Overall an enjoyable lunch with the family.“

“best sushi all night long!“

“Amazing Sushi! great service and good location.“

“So our family (well kids to be specific) has always had a tradition of going out to Hibachi for birthdays. For years we were going to Saitos on Lyons and Glades then they closed down. Honestly was never my favorite, but tradition is tradition. So we moved on to Benihana’s. Well don’t be fooled by the name. Their food and particularly their service was waaay below PAR. Anyways getting to the point, we wanted to try a new spot and stumbled on Saiko-I. From the first few minutes after being seated we could already tell the dramatic difference. The service was on point. Drinks served immediately, appetizers and meals ordered shortly after. Then came the chef. He was fun, entertaining, funny and efficient. The food was probably the best hibachi I’ve had. None of the one item at a time nonsense you get at the other places. And they used much less of the butter and other garbage they throw in at other spots. At the end of our meal we complemented the GM and she went out of her way to make our business feel appreciated. The staff here was friendly, classy and fun, and the food was amazing. Found our new spot! No this is not a solicited review, I was just super impressed with this place. Shout out the server Hector, chef Javier and GM Ouray.“
