I would like to know where they are now, I invited a friend to eat at the best restaurant in Pembroke Pines and it was closed, even without the notice. Please, if you are going to open somewhere else, let me know the address.Thank you,
IshilimaI visited during happy hours and ordered- Ordered the Doki Doki with Maduro added to it as a special addition. The chili soy paper is a great light kick, the salmon and goat cheese and truffle with the maduro combination is divine especially with the avocado.- If you’re a fan of a slight kick of spice and a savory sweet flavor that complements the truffles and goat cheese I highly recommend trying the Doki Doki how I ordered it.Half roll GuavaThe Gauva is so delicious it’s such a delightful flavor to compliment a shrimp tempura roll and truly hone in on a Latin cuisine food staple with the guava and the MaduraBoth rolls were served elegantly and on such aesthetically pleasing plates and the plating of the maki was impeccable and the seafood quality was superb. I will definitely return to this establishment and I would recommend this establishment 10/10 from the tea lateens and fun animal decor and friendly servers, I’m excited to return again for another amazing experience.

This has been my favorite restaurant in South FL for over 2 years. Chef Wendell is masterful and creative in the kitchen, Cynthia has taught us about wine, and this entire team delivers so much joy and outstanding meals. Must do the wine tastings, try all of the specials, and order everything on the menu!?? cheers y'all.

A must try Japanese Peruvian Fusion restaurant. Everything we ordered taste really good. The place is small but the food is big for a good appetite. The prices are reasonable. Just a little waiting for the orders to come but it is worth it. I am giving this a 5 stars because of foods. A highly recommend this place to try. I am surely going to return.
So it’s a Peruvian Japanese fusion place which is playing Colombian music, So ambiance was a bit off. Decoratively looked fine Other wise. Had a lot of oriental stuff. With a few out of place decorations but it’s fine. Server was nice seeing as she was the only one there can’t complain too much about the service. But they did serve a child chicken and fries with out ketchup. Had to ask three times for them to bring it and when they did they filled the cup half way so the chicken could not even reach the ketchup. Had to ask for a second one. Food was ok, there was six of us. My lion sushi was good great fusion sushi one of the best I have had to be honest, but small for $19. But the other food was ok the traditional ceviche was decent flavor was there. Decent for $14 just needed some more additives In there. However Wasn’t a fan of the sweet potato purée. It looks nice but the flavor was lacking. Chicha morada Wasn’t as sweet as you would normally expect. Didn’t taste bad but tasted more like watered down sorrel to me. Mixed green salad, $7 Looked nice but flavor wasn’t there. Been wanting to try this place for a while. But did expect better. Friend got the hamachi, For $14. I don’t think it could of filled a small child. Flavor was there just small the other dishes the guava roll too sweet and Nikkei. Ceviche Flavor lack luster. It was just underwhelming for the price. I think it was a bit over priced and to charge those prices. It should be something that matches. That experience alone would of given a 3 star from my book. Only gave it a 2 since never been a fan of a place putting automatic gratuity. And 20% in parties of five or more is crazy. It’s like one of the higher tipper ranges and five is barely even considered a large party. But one was a child and three out the five adults left hungry. One didnt want the ceviche anymore since the flavor was just off and Was forcing it down. Other the entree so small. And the other guava was too sweet to eat the full thing. Felt embarrassed taken out people to try a fusion place for the first time and so many people leaving unsatisfied. And paying about $200 with the tip. It was just crazy to me. And a bit underwhelming. I am not here to bash the restaurant I just love food and feel the price should match what you pay for. I hope they take it as a way to improve. I will pay a lot for great food. But to pay a lot and have so much dissatisfaction, just a shame. But like I said to me the lion roll best thing I had there and just needed to be slightly larger to get it to that point of being worth $20. You can go to buffets for that price. Honestly with All the reviews Majority either agree with me about the price and the size or rave about the taste. So idk if I will ever go back. But I do know it won’t be my first choice. Unless I was already close by it. This place does have potential it just has to either lower its prices or make it worth the price. By size and or flavor.Update :Did hear back from owner. A few days later. I understood their reasoning. When it comes to food cost and overhead. When it comes to the pricing. But it want even the price that was the issue just if the food quality matched the price. Did try four things and two were good. And for those two and the reply from the owner I will consider going sometime in the future.Thank you for reaching back out owner I hope the next visits. Will be able to earn more stars
Never been here but it is really a hidden gem! My girlfriend was recommended by this restaurant by a friend. This might be my new favorite spot.Super good food, i’ve never had or seen a twist on some of the menu items like the s’mores dessert or the guava roll. My girlfriend & i ordered 3 rolls and all 3 rolls were delicious!The staff was very helpful and friendly. We of course had a bunch of questions and they were happy to assist us with any questions needed. We called ahead for a table and we were seated right away. Our glasses of water were always filled & i didn’t even have to ask for a refill which i loved because the young gentleman was very attentive. This restaurant definitely a vibe, music is good & very well decorated. It reminds be of a downtown restaurant but with better quality food.In other words, I am coming back to try more items! I’d recommend this place to anyone who wants to try a new place in pembroke pines.
Not a bad concept at all. I definitely want to give this place another try since we ordered food to go. So my opinion is purely on the food we got and not the atmosphere. We ordered the Chifa Chicken Wings, the Dragon Roll and the Steak Frites, all of which I would order again. I was impressed with the quality for the fact that it was ordered to go. The wings had a great blend of sweet and spicy. The dragon roll was delicious. Again, I'm not much of a steak person, but this was very nice. The fusion of parmesan and chimichurri was very tasty.
Very good food and good service. Love the unique menu. It's a bit hidden so you have to know it's there. Had the tuna tartar bowl and the steak. Absolutely delicious

I would give them more stars if it was possible. This place is so cute. You wouldn’t expect this gem to be at a strip mall.The decoration is rustic. It feels laid back and comfortable. We were greeted by a young lady who was super polite and friendly. There are many options in the menu.Everything we ordered was just AMAZING, fresh and tasted so delicious.We ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts, the crispy tuna bites, grilled octopus and ceviche. OMGosh, I cannot tell you what my favorite was because everything was superb! Cannot wait to go back.
They are always so nice when we go there! Food is outstanding. It’s one of my son’s favorite restaurants.Went again tonight and the food was on point and our server Sofia is always so sweet and attentive. She even remembers what we typically get. That kind of attention is rare these days.
Food was good but was surprise with the check. Ordered a Pad Thai with chicken and chaufita also with chicken. It turns out that w/o the chicken, a rice and pasta, with some spices is $20.00 each, and about five pieces of nugget or smaller size chicken, adds another $10.00 to each. Total, 60+ tax+ tip for a total of $75.0lunch for two, ouch, talk about inflation. But, I would add that service was good!!!!! I know, next time eat at home, yes, I will!!
Good local sushi place. Casual atmosphere and good , fast friendly service. Sushi rolls ranges from $12-18.00. with 4 drinks and 4 people the bill was about $190.00.
The Lomito 'Lomo Saltado' was way too overpriced at $26 and frankly the taste was very disappointing. You'd be better off going to La Granja or El Fogon for a more succulent Lomo Saltado
