Sushi & a wide selection of sake & beer are artfully presented in a bamboo-accented resort setting.

This place absolutely blew us away!
Miso soup (best I’ve ever had)
Spicy Ename (the sauce on this mad them addicting)
Crispy Rice (simple but delicious)
Key largo roll (Absolutely must get – best sushi roll I’ve ever had)
Dragon roll (simple but incredible)
10/10 couldn’t recommend more – everything was incredibly fresh. I wish they opened earlier we wanted to go again before getting on our flight home!!!

All the sushi, sashimi, and salads were excellent, but the sake they brought was so hot that we had to wait five minutes for it to cool down before we could pour it into glasses. I recommend visiting, but the prices are above average.

Good restraunt, bad day.
Me and my family waited over an hour for miso soup, which I feel is not quiet right considering the restraunt was not overly packed. We were sat outside and there were rats on the deck walking around. The space heaters were broken. The night I went was very cold and the space heaters were broken so we were waiting outside in the cold for an hour before we got our soup.
To make up for the wait & cold, food was amazing. I think it is the best sushi I’ve ever had. It was very good. Our waitress was very apologetic and made up for earlier sub par service.

Pork dumplings delicious! Stuffed and torched avocado is also very good. Then we had the keyse japanesy, dirty Vegas and firecracker rolls. All very good. But they are in order of what I thought was best. The service was very good. The atmosphere is great. Over looks the Atlantic. For a little bit, we were the only ones, which made me a little nervous, but it turned out to be great. If you are in the mood for sushi and staying at Cheeca lodge then I say give them a try.

We had a wonderful experience and enjoyed sushi, edamame, dumplings, cocktails and dessert! The sushi was very fresh. I loved the Keysey Japanesey and Big Kahuna rolls. The Nitro is an excellent version of spicy tuna, be prepared for a kick there. The edamame was too spicy for my preference, but the guys liked it. It has a lot of chili sauce on it.
We brought our baby and they provided a high chair. The view was excellent! Our server was perfectly attentive. Highly recommend!

The dining experience was marred by subpar service; the staff were inexperienced and inattentive, detracting from the meal’s overall enjoyment. Additionally, the decor was notably outdated and unappealing, creating an atmosphere that felt neglected and unwelcoming. The interior, with its dated decorations, urgently needs a refresh to match the quality of the dishes being served. This incongruence between the quality of the food and the environment significantly impacts the appeal of dining here, suggesting that a comprehensive overhaul could greatly enhance the overall experience. The restaurant’s culinary offerings, particularly the spicy tuna bento box, was flavorful and well-prepared, showcasing a commendable mastery of traditional techniques and fresh ingredients.

Located in the Cheeca resort, this sushi is amazing with a paradisal view to satisfy all your senses. There is live acoustic guitar on the beach below. Service was quick and our server was very attentive.
This is a great date night location or for family looking for a quiet evening.

Best sushi we’ve had in at least 3 years. Service was excellent. The night of our reservation was a little chilly / windy and we were given the option of sitting outside or at the crowded bar. We chose to sit outside and it was fine. Great experience.

Tucked away inside th Cheeca Lodge & Spa, Nikai is easily one of the best sushi bars this reviewer has ever been to.
Seating is on an upper level that faces the resort beach. The tables are simply decorated with a small lamp and live bonsai trees.
The live music is loud enough to enjoy, and still have normal conversations.
The food truly is the star. Three of us went and shared two sushi rolls and the bento box. A. Ma. Zing!!
If you get the chance to go, do it. You won’t be disappointed.

We had dinner as a party of 8. Excellent service. Not all.of our party members ate sushi. We had the best waiter, Damien, who accommodated all of our party’s needs by getting food from a different menu. Excellent service-highly recommended.
