21 Best Japanese Restaurants in Sarasota

“The Creamy Curry is a constant craving in our house. This dish has been my Birthday and Mothers Day request 2 years in a row! 🥰🍜“

“The 💣 diggity 🍣 🍱. Not only is the food out of this world but the atmosphere is killer. The 1st time we ate there the one and only 🎙️Mick Jagger was there. 5 ⭐️“

“Stopped in for first time, food was delicious and service was great. Definitely will go back.“

“My friend had been wanting to try Zoto Sushi for a while, and as a sushi lover, we chose this place from several options because of its excellent reviews.

I must say, it truly lived up to the hype. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the friendly service adds to the overall experience. You can tell that the chefs take great pride in their craft—every dish is prepared with care and attention. From the drinks to the sushi, everything we tried was delicious and beautifully presented.

The only reason for 4 stars is the restroom maintenance. There was water all over the floor during our visit. When the food, service, and overall experience are handled so well, this is one area that deserves a little more attention.

Overall, a wonderful place for sushi lovers, and I would definitely return for the food, service, and atmosphere“

“Loved our second visit. We can’t quite work out why it’s taken so long to return. The sushi options are amazing, fresh and made at the large display area in the restaurant. This time I tried a Hibachi meal combo, chicken and scallops with house fried rice and fresh veggies. Delicious.
My wife had the California roll, one of approximately 30 sushi options.
This is really a great find off the beaten track on Honore, the staff are very nice too.“
