“What a great establishment! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff, LOTS of options including Vegan AND Gluten Free. There's plenty of options so you can make your own designer Poke Bowl, or Sushi Burrito! Great location and easy to find. HIGHLY recommend - you won't be disappointed!“
“Wonderful experience each time we are visiting, doing such a remarkable job for a newly opened restaurant! The Staff go out of their way to please customers and are gracious to offer a welcoming dish as a treat each time you'll visit! Presentation is superb with mini LED light & Orchids flowers... Quality is fresh & good... A pleasure to have this restaurant in our neighborhood!...“
“After a long flight, I was thrilled to find my favorite sushi spot still open. I called ahead to ensure they'd prepare my order, making them my first stop after landing. They were attentive to my timing instructions, and as always, the food and service was impeccable.“
“I was having a bad day. Like the worst day of my life. And all I wanted was poke. The staff could see it in my eyes and were super nice and grateful. They checked on me and were super sweet. I got up to clean up, and there was a box of pocky waiting for me on my table and a silent smile. The food is amazing but it’s because of the service that I come in every week. ❤️. Thank you for making my day suck less.“
“Good Korean food and friendly service although area is a little shady at night.I got the bibimbap on stone pot and husband got kimchi chige. Also had souju, mandu and seafood pancake. Everything was delicious! The ssam, especially the potato, were all good too.They sell kimchi which is made in house! Will def come back.“
“Gave this place a try because of a friend who kept saying it's the best sushi in the area. It's quite nice. Went in on a sunday afternoon. When we got there, noone was there, and 2 other parties rolled in 20 minutes after us. If you don't want the placed packed, pick sunday rather than saturday/friday.Ginger dressing salad and miso soup came out, and they were delicious.Got us sushi combo (12 sushi nigiri and 1 tuna roll) and medusa roll. Sushi combo let us try the fish we never tried before. Didn't like all of them, but none of them had bad smell or taste. It was just a preference thing. Medusa roll was good, eel sauce they put on top was a little overbearing, but overall, still very fresh tasting roll.Udon was ordered for the kid, not crazy good (i can make it better at home) but we went there for sushi, so I won't knock a star off becaues of mediocre udon.Server (Wynn) was very nice and attentive. Price is a little on the high side, but environment and downtown location probably justifies the higher price than average.Will probably return when i crave something special.Note : parking can be a little tricky during peak time as there are limited number of spaces. Yes you can find spots for sure, but you might have to park a few minutes away if you can't find anything close.“
“Excellent menu for Asian dishes notable the sushi/sashimi selections. The restaurant has a cool vibe to it. Servers aim to please. We enjoyed our Double Tuna Roll that is one huge roll which did not skimp on the seafood. Diners around us were also ordering it so it is a popular dish. The Chilean Seabass is good; however, the amount of miso is slight which combined with a buttery mixture loss the miso flavor a bit. One hiccup is the Salmon Cappaccio appetizer. Salmon is very fresh but the olive oil, truffle oil, and balsamic vinegar is way too much olive oil that the dish is swimming in it. Less is more for this dish but again the salmon is excellent. Overall a very good place to eat.“
“I’ve had alot of sushi but this is by far the best sushi in town period! Larry and the staff are super friendly and the food is phenomenal! I wish I could give more than 5 stars Bc the food and hospitality is amazing! Definitely going back!“
“I’m super picky when it comes to my sushi! I ordered the Pacific roll to try it out. It was so delicious! I ordered two more! I Would highly recommend going here if you love sushi! We went so that my daughter could get a bubble drink. I also got one and love that as well!“
“Bushido Sushi SRQ is amazing. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. Winnie and Ivy are always so welcoming, kind and helpful. The food is incredible - literally everything we've ever tried has been fantastic (and it's probably been everything they offer by now). The Gyoza and Shumai are the best I have ever had. But, don't let the word get out - I like hidden gems all to myself!“
“Fantastic new restaurant located in Gulf gate. TJ ( the owner) is one of the nicest guys you will ever meat. Try the Happy Crab as an app! The New York sushi roll is really good! All of the Hibachi entrees are great! This place is incredible! Highly recommend!“
“Good quantity of sushi for the price. Sushi is decent. The highlight is in the dessert though. Their thai tea & green tea ice cream are exceptionally cheap & good!!! We went back for the green tea ice cream. Better than hagendazs for half the “
“Best sushi I've had in a while. Service was great and catered to our pace. Started with the lobster and crab rangoons. HOLY MOLY. If that is up your alley, please order. After talking with our server, he mentioned that it is one of their employees' only jobs, and I can definitely tell it is made with love. Best rangoons I've had. As far as sushi goes... mango definitely goes on sushi! Also appreciated the presentation with the orchid on top. I enjoyed this meal so much, left feeling full and happy!!“
“I’ve always said what Sarasota is missing is good late night options for more than just the weekends and this place is just that. Found it on Uber eats the other night when I was craving something better than greasy fast food. I got the spicy broth ramen and it was amazing and definitely spicy!“
“We’ve been regulars since they opened. Living in the Rosemary they’ve been our go to for great Thai and Japanese cuisine. Staff is welcoming and helpful. Prices are reasonable, especially in this small city that has suddenly morphed itself into Manhattan priced pretentiousness.“
“So so glad i gave this place another go! My first experience was not great—they emailed my notification that my order was ready and i didn’t see it until the food had been sitting for 40 min. However, now I’ve ordered and dined in multiple times since and it’s been excellent. Last time we dined in, we were seated directly next to a very noisy kid-birthday party. This struck us as very odd since it was early and there was plenty of other seating. Thankfully, the party was only there for the first 30 minutes that we were dining, so it didn’t ruin the entire experience. The food is fantastic. Fresh cut of sushi and excellent presentation. Prices are average with other sushi in the area. One of my new top faves. (If you have back/spine issues, definitely bring a seat cushion for support. The seating is very hard at many tables).“
“I'm normally a very picky eater but the food was amazing. I loved the little bowls of spiced vegetables brought out before the meal. I can't stand cucumbers and this was the only time I was able to eat and ENJOY cucumbers.Our server was fantastic, very friendly. It was a very nice restaurant. Though I didn't get any of the snacks (this time!), I loved the little snack bar. Fantastic idea!“
“The Best…aroouund (cue Karate Kid song). We recently moved south and miss this place a lot. The food here is excellent. I always get thai hot chicken pad thai, and it couldn’t be better. Got my parents addicted to this place since they live around the corner. I make it a point to order from here when I visit. Super friendly service, always accurate on the orders, always fresh and delicious. As someone that loves thai food, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT.“
“Second time dining here. Really love this place and the patio is delightful. Not sure what happened because our first visit everything was perfectly timed. Last visit from the time we were seated until our entrees came was 2 hours and 15 mins. Maybe longer. It's like our party of four got forgotten. We were having such a good time with friends we didn't really notice at first but then saw other tables that had come in much later than us were being served. Odd. Hoping this is just a once off kinda thing.“
“Now I get why this place was so busy on a Tuesday night. ?We ordered both from the sushi menu and the Thai menu and both were very yummy! I especially loved the volcano roll and the shrimp summer rolls. The peanut dressing that came with them was very flavorful and delicious. Will definitely be back ??“
“Always a great experience. Amazing service and even better crab rangoons! Seriously they are the best in town, full of flavor unlike your ordinary crab Rangoon. I’ve liked everything I’ve tried, food always comes out hot and fresh. Try the baby octopus salad you won’t regret it!“
“great atmosphere. awsome sushi . establishment goes over beond service you...hot saki good.Love boat was over top. never had bad experience here .family owend .great Local spotCALL MAKE RES. they get busy .lots great thai inspired food on menue also. some best in town highly recommended.Parking: Hillview st 300 parking spotsfor the street. they get full peak dining hrs“
“I’m really not someone who typically leaves reviews, but I do use them as a gauge of recommendation when others leave them.This place is under rated; the prices are reasonable, sushi holds up in flavor but is not elaborately displayed, and the hibachi price is one of the most reasonable in all of Sarasota. The parking is always convenient which is another plus.If you want local food without the expensive price this is the place to go.“
“We went on a Friday night during Spring Break so it was rather busy. We were seated immediately, but service took a little while. I suppose the sweet tea was green tea which I’ve had at other establishments. I usually very much enjoy it, but I was not a fan of JPan’s iteration of the beverage. The Miso soup was decent and my husband liked his Tokyo Kiss and Spicy Salmon rolls. But the real winner for the evening was the JPan Beef Teriyaki! So tender and flavorful!! One of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time!Parking: May have to walk a little ways so hopefully you have on comfortable shoes. It really will depend on the time of day/year.“
“Ahhh this restaurant is really really awesome! It isn’t an enormous place but is comfortabl! I suggest for alone people who wanna eat a delicious food, because you can seat on the “bar” and be served. If you like boba teas or special juices they also have a unit at the same building.“

“First time at this establishment. First, the vodka martinis were consistently cold and generous pours. Our service was excellent. Sushi rolls were mixed, I loved my yummy roll, my wife not so much on the shrimp roll she ordered. Our dining partners were very pleased with their sashimi, huge portions of fresh fish. The dining room in the back is too dark, and the booth is too small, we spent the evening kicking our dining partners' feet.“
“absolutely amazing! this has been my favorite place in sarasota for a bit but i'm writing this review because Suracha just gave the best service tonight! It was my birthday dinner tonight and she just made it so special!!! truly the sweetest person paired with the most amazing food!“
“The food was good. Instead of all you can eat sushi bar, you need to order them. The service was a bit slow because it was during lunch time and there were so many people. It’s pretty noisy in here and only one lady was attentive and checking on my table a couple times.I like Eel and Salmon so I ordered Green Dragon Roll and Crazy Salmon Roll. Few of Eel Sushi, Seaweed Salad, Kani Salad, Miso Soup, Sesame Ball with red bean paste inside, and Green Tea Ice Cream. My Fave is Eel Sushi!They said the dinner menu has more options and you also can order 6pc of Sashimi. I might try this next time even it costs $10 more.“
“We went to this restaurant for my daughters birthday. She had been there previously for her husband‘s birthday, so she wanted to go back for hers. All in all the service was excellent, very attentive. I can’t say I wasn’t happy with my food because he asked my daughter if she wanted her steak medium rare that she had and he didn’t ask me if I wanted my steak on my Noodles meet them where are we are done so when it came, it was medium rare I can’t eat me to where I feel like blood in my mouth so I asked him to go back and make it well done so they actually went back and literally bought the meat to every bite that I took take it tasted like burnt grill Choco pie crispy very unhappy with my meal very dissatisfied but other than that my daughter like to hurtful my son-in-law like this food oh my granddaughter, she did not eat her food but all in all it was OK experience just not happy with my food“
