Recently, I was told that Takoyaki and Taiyaki (authentic Japanese street food snacks) can be found…read morein the Sarasota area! But, only during the Sarasota Farmer's Market on Saturdays at Goichi's stall. We went to the market specifically for this cart and were not disappointed. The Takoyaki are generously filled with seafood and basted in a warm sweet sauce. Then, topped with dots of Japanese mayo and sprinkled with bonito flakes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takoyaki We definitely will be back, and to try all of the other items!

Hard to believe that I drive past this place at least a few times during the week on my way to the…read morePublix. I see the sign as I turn in to the large parking lot but never thought of stopping in. Our friend suggested we stop by for a couple's dinner as one of her coworkers brought some takeout from here and the aroma totally captivated her. She made reservations as we were a party of 7. Place wasn't really crowded for a Friday evening and our table was waiting for us when we arrived. Our server Grace was a real doll, charming and soft spoken. She got us started with drinks and came back to take our orders. There were some appetizers consisting of fried chicken potstickers to go around. My wife ordered the seaweed salad, I skipped the appetizers as the complimentary miso soup warmed my tummy. Plenty of Ramen orders along with a few hibachi orders rounded up our entrees. I can't say enough about their menu as there's plenty to choose from, lots of variations and or combinations to make the meal to your liking. We ate, we conversed and all enjoyed the food. And were never rushed. When you combine good food with good company you really can't ask for a better evening. Would definitely stop by again now that I know what I've been missing on my way to Publix!

Wow Spice is the perfect little Asian market! They have everything you could need as far as sauces,…read morecondiments, dry noodles, teas, sweets, frozen goods, and even some produce. What I appreciate the most though is their onigiri and kimchi, freshly made on-site! I've already devoured some of the onigiri and the kimchi and they were incredible. The kimchi was perfectly balanced and the onigiri was warm and loaded with flavor. It even had a little heat to it! Definitely skip the massive, Asian grocery stores and go to Spice. Although you won't find any tanks of live fish, Spice has everything else you would otherwise look for, all displayed in a clean, organized, mom-and-pop run shop. Not to mention their incredibly sweet, helpful service. I will definitely be back!

Great spot for ramen in Sarasota. This was very convenient when leaving Siesta Key Village. We just…read morecraved ramen since the days are getting cooler. This was the place! We ordered a nabeyaki(seafood ramen) and tonkotsu with chicken instead of pork. All were quite flavorful and warm. Our servers were quite helpful. We asked for waters, limes, & extra sauce for my shrimp tempura. All were taken care of smoothly and quickly. There's many anime toys and decor around. Definitely a cool spot to check out with so many ramen options and apps!

We were super hyped with all the anime art and figures throughout the restaurant, that it took us awhile to finally sit and order. I liked the sauciness of the Takoyaki (not much meat inside, per usual), the chicken teriyaki was more or less the same. The Shoyu Ramen was good. Adding to that, there's Wagyu Ramen only on Friday/Saturday, so come on those days. In addition, come at night to see the Green Tea Ice Cream along with the flame to make it look like a Dragon Ball. All in all, I was more hyped with the theme than the food. I did ask if they had any food items with an anime theme/presentation and Dragon Ball was it, but we came during the day time. Did plan to come back again during our vacation, but got too busy, next time!
