We were in town for the week and tried many different restaurants. This wasn’t our only Asian restaurant, but it was the only sushi spot we visited. We didn’t have reservations, but they were able to seat us outside. It was a cool evening, but still pleasant.
Food:
We started with several appetizers: fried gyoza, soft shell crab, spring rolls, and shrimp tempura. The standout was the tempura, with a crisp coating and tender shrimp inside. The soft shell crab was good, though it could have been fried a bit longer, as it felt slightly soft. The spring rolls were unfortunately very greasy, to the point of being unpleasant.
For my entrée, I ordered the sashimi appetizer. The fish was fresh and flavorful across all three selections, but the portions were thinner than expected. When I order sashimi, I usually expect thicker cuts than what you’d find on nigiri.
Others at the table ordered different specialty rolls, with the favorite being the Happy Birthday Roll. All of the rolls were good.
Service:
Service was somewhat inconsistent. They appeared busy, or possibly short-staffed. The staff were cheerful and helpful, but interactions felt rushed. We received water and menus promptly, but waited a while before the server returned. The appetizers and main dishes arrived in a reasonable time. However, there were moments when we could have used a bit more attention, such as needing extra utensils or napkins, which I ended up retrieving myself.
Atmosphere:
We dined outside on the small patio and didn’t go into the main dining room. The patio was pleasant, with red brick and subdued lighting. The tables were generously spaced, making it easy to carry on a conversation.
Overall, it was a good meal, but not a place that made it onto our “must return” list.

My partner made reservations for my birthday. We were seated and served by Ardie. He made our experience very fun and enjoyable. The food was fresh and very tasty. The florida roll I thought was amazing along with the tuna sandwich served in a triangle shape. Smart and tasted amazing made the tuna pop along with the rice. Overall a great time and experience.

Our family are not sushi/ seafood eaters- so we ate chicken and steak, both were excellent (and the spicy edamames!!)
The servers were wonderful- fun, friendly, and fast!! Made for a great New Year’s Eve dinner.
Loved this place. Thank you!

This (July 2024 for July 4 week vacation) was our first time visiting the Keys and we stayed at Duval House B&B on Duval Street. We wanted sushi so we walked maybe a block down the street to this restaurant.
but not only did she answer the question but explained the sake production process and sweetness-to-dry differences with a diagram (see the diagram she drew) and poured the nigori sake for us herself – which by the way was delicious! I learned that sake should be consumed soon after being bottled, unlike with wines which should be aged. All the time living in Asia town in Cali, and none of the resturanteers took the time to teach that – but she did! Soon, we got to talking about our trip last month to Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley. During the conversation, the manager unexpectedly poured us a glass of rose wine from Southern France for tasting (see photo added to my Vivino app)! Wow! We learned new wine information specific to French and Argentinian wines, and new wine to add to our tasting list and cellar! We ended up being the last patrons in the restaurant as it was closing. On our way back to Duval House, we stopped at a souvenir shop and realized we left a credit card. We returned to the restaurant, which was closed but had a male employee inside who opened the door and helped us search for the card. He remembered that the manager had put it somewhere and called her – right as she came breathlessly rushing in! It turned out that she had noticed our card lying there after we had left and ran out of the restaurant down the Main Street looking for us in various shops. WOW! I’m certainly grateful and impressed with the customer service as well as the quality of the food and sake, and I recommended that my mother eat there when she vacations in October. I’m just now posting this in September 2024 after getting sick then busy after traveling in July-September 2024.

All of the fish in our sashimi dinner was super fishy tasting, discolored, and obviously not fresh at all. Honestly its questionable as to whether or not any self respecting sushi place should have served it. The server was nice but service was mediocre overall. The quail egg was the only good part.
Even the seaweed salad wasn’t as good as the other sushi joints.
Highly recommend miso happy or sushi song over this place.

They serve guests without reservations last even though we got there before it got busy. Made us wait an hour for mediocre sushi that isn’t worth the price. Tables that arrived after us got their sushi first.

Overall, good sushi but not the best I’ve had. I wish they had brown rice. Sitting inside is limited. Service was good. We sat at the sushi bar and had a nice evening.

Food was divine. Service was extraordinary. Sushi was melting in my mouth. Have visited twice within the last week and will continue to visit multiple times throughout my vacation. No better place for sushi in the Keys.
