Im reading her past reviews and it just sounds like miserable hateful life to have. Zoto is hands down the best new culinary destination in sarasota. Service was on point, and food is incredible.“

“Being Asian , I want to give a resounding endorsement to this Japanese food truck – it’s an absolute gem! 🍱 I opted for the chicken and Dragon sushi, and to my surprise, it could easily satisfy my soul. The food was not just delicious but also impressively fresh, served piping hot, and delivered with lightning speed. Watching the chef prepare it right before my eyes was a delightful experience, and knowing that all the ingredients were cooked to order, made it even. This food truck has quickly become my top spot, and I genuinely hope they stick around for a long time! 😊“

“Awesome food and so much to choose from“

“Excellent food! Awesome service 👏 The atmosphere was very nice!
Our waiter knew that I didn’t like mushrooms and took it upon himself to exclude them in my soup 🍲 I wish I would have gotten his name but he is definitely an asset to your restaurant.“

“Dragón roll personalizado muy bueno la shrimp soup pho es la que me gusta“

“Dining at Tsukino was an absolute delight. We ordered generously fully expecting to enjoy dinner there and still have plenty left for lunch the next day but the food had other plans. The rolls were so irresistibly fresh and flavorful that we happily polished off every last bite right at the table. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance of energy and comfort, and each dish arrived beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. Having visited sushi bars from Japan to San Francisco, I can say with confidence that Tsukino stands out as something truly special a place where great ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and a wonderful vibe come together in the most delicious way. 🍣✨ like its name - Tsukino… the food reflects a calm, elegant, slightly mystical vibe. My new ATF!“

“Cucumber salad , Lava roll“

“Me and my family have been coming here for over a year now and it's absolutely fantastic every time. Every dish is made to order and so so fresh. We typically stick to the rice bowl options but we've tried a few other things and never been disappointed. Their egg drop soup and seaweed salad are amazing appetizers as well, and all the food comes out so fast. The owner and employees always recognize us and greet us with the biggest smile and best service. We modify our bowls to exactly how we like them (encouraged by the owner!!) and the prices are very reasonable, with only a $1 upcharge for some modifications. Plenty of meat in the bowls as well, you will never leave hungry, even if you only ate the meat with no veggies or rice. Overall, amazing customer service and some of the best chinese I've had.“

“My son and dil asked me where I wanted to eat for a belated Mother's Day dinner(my choice}. I wanted to have hibachi since I haven't had it for a long time. After reviewing what was somewhat close by and reviews, I chose Izumi. So happy I did. The food was wonderful as well as the staff, drinks, and entertainment. Told them first time there and will be back!“
