“What a gem! The food was AMAZING! We ordered hibachi and rolls from the lunch menu. Portions were plentiful. Service was great- our server was super friendly. We’ll definitely be back.“

“The sushi here is amazing. Everything tasted so fresh. I loved the crispy rice salmon bites and tempura tofu roll, the portions were perfect with very reasonable prices. Service was wonderful as well; I was reading a book and my server turned on the small tabletop light so that I could see more clearly. I’m already looking forward to going back to try some of their other menu items.“

“Found this restaurant as a recommendation on a local Facebook group. We decided to give it a try. The restaurant is clean. The service is excellent. All of the staff were very friendly. The food was delicious. All of us were very satisfied with our meals. They give you a lot of food and we all had leftovers to take home. This is a hidden Sarasota gem. I highly recommend and we will be back.“

“Awesome sushi - as always!“

“I came this way to visit another restaurant when I noticed this place and said let me give it a try,now I have not been to a lot of Japanese restaurants so I really have nothing to compare it to,when I first walked in I was greeted by a very nice women,I chose to sit at a table instead of the bar,the tables are all sections with a light wall on either side,beautiful lighting and pretty soft Japanese music playing,the menu is put together like an expensive leather bound book,I ordered the miso and the fried oysters,miso was some of the best I have had with much seaweed and tofu,and perfect temperature,the oysters were very plump panko crusted,cooked to perfection,oysters were very moist while the outside was nice and crispy,I was told they were imported from Japan,later I had a spicy yellowfin sushimi roll that was Soo good,all the food was very well presented with a bed of colorful veggies and pretty plates,the waitress was very nice she told me the place had been there about 8 years,they are word of mouth with no advertising,do your self a favor and give them a go,and you can thank me later“

“I’ve been coming here for a few years now. I love when I ask someone if they’ve ever eaten here and they tell me no. Not only do I get to introduce them to this amazing restaurant, amazing owners and staff, and hands down the best Thai and sushi restaurant I’ve ever been to, I also get an excuse to come eat the things I know I like or try new things. Definitely come try this place if you haven’t yet. I’m writing this review as I sit here waiting for sushi…. I was just here last night eating sushi…. This place is a problem for me. 😅🤣“

“This place is my all time favorite. The lava rock is just a neat experience overall. They have a unique variety of sushi rolls as well. I’ve been there probably over 20 times and it’s just amazing. ❤️“

“EDIT: Owner reached out to me and responded to my follow-up email within hours. Very impressed by the professionalism and dedication to the customer experience. I do wish this business the very best and hope that my experience was just a fluke :)

Unfortunately a solid restaurant and amazing service paired with really disappointing food. Toppings were great, rice was a bit overcooked and stodgy, and the fish did not taste fresh. Wouldn't go back.“

“absolutely the best service, food, ambience and quality. we celebrated our daughters 15th birthday party and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was flawless. the best Japanese restaurant in Sarasota. highly recommended.“

“Red Curry and any 🍣, fast service.“

“The best poke and ramen spot in Sarasota!! So many fresh and healthy options, it never disappoints 🥰“

“Hoshi Sushi is the BEST SUSHI in Sarasota! This family-owned gem is run by Starr, the incredibly sweet and kind owner who makes every visit feel like you’re part of the family. The sushi is always fresh and bursting with flavor, and their miso soup is hands down the best I’ve ever had. Our favorite sushi rolls are the sweet potato and avocado – they’re simply amazing! Don’t miss the edamame and the bento boxes, which are perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. The service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I highly recommend Hoshi Sushi to anyone looking for an unforgettable meal! 🍱 🍣“

“Order delivery from here often. Quality is always good.“

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

“Such great food and great service!“

“We've gone here for years and are never disappointed! 🥰“

“I had an excellent experience at sushi bay! Ayu, our server, did a fantastic job. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The service was top-notch, and I will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!“

“We've been here around 20 times in the last few years. We first started going just after COVID and they were shorthanded and they said to expect longer than normal waits for food and you could expect to wait 30 to 40 minutes for your food once ordered. We've been back twice in the last month and each time took an hour to get our food! I'm not sure whether it's staffing issues or what, but that length of time just does not seem reasonable for fried rice and sushi in my opinion. We drive 35 minutes across town to go to this place because we really enjoy their chicken fried rice and my wife loves their sushi, but to drive 35 minutes to then wait an hour to get food just doesn't seem like the trip is justified. We love the food so much we'll probably go back, I just hope that either there's more help or the timing of everything improves like it used to be.“

“Their lunch option and pricing are great. Dinner portions are terrific. Like many Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants, this one is family owned and operated. Unlike some, this family seems to enjoy what they do. Makes the food even better.“

“Spice Station is absolutely the best!!! Amazing cuisine, the best service and perfect atmosphere where you always feel welcome. The food is prepared with the freshest ingredients and care creating delicious meals that my friends, family and I enjoy time and time again. Thank you Reggy, Mo, Simon, Allison and all of the staff for creating the best dining experience and such delicious food! 🙏“

“Ichiban is hands down one of my favorite spots! While they’re known for their sushi, I always go for the tempura and teriyaki chicken—both are absolutely delicious. The tempura is perfectly crispy, and the teriyaki chicken is tender with just the right amount of flavor. It’s always a satisfying meal, and the service is top-notch every time.

If you’re in the mood for great food and excellent service, Ichiban is a must-visit!“

“Our go to place for pho.. fresh rolls were amazing too…“

“I had an amazing meal at this Thai restaurant in downtown Sarasota! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm atmosphere and friendly staff. The flavors of the dishes were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the green curry, it was rich, creamy, and just the right amount of spicy! The spring rolls were the perfect appetizer, crisp and full of flavor. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the entire experience felt delightful. If you’re looking for a fantastic Thai dining experience, this place is a gem! I can’t wait to return!“

“Loved the food & the presentation! Very attentive service too!“
