You could easily spend part of your meal just looking around at all the photos, anime artwork, and displays. The service was prompt, attentive, and genuinely friendly. The staff created a fun, upbeat atmosphere, and it really felt like they enjoyed working there, which made the experience even better. They have a nice selection of sake and beer, along with daily specials, and parking was easy and convenient. It was also clear they have a lot of loyal regulars, which says a lot about the restaurant. It's a welcoming, vibrant spot that's great for families, date nights, or getting together with a small group of friends. We'll definitely be back.

He has a unique way of making the dining experience both entertaining and memorable. Each dish is presented with a creative theme, often accompanied by the cutest little figurines that add a special and unique touch to the presentation. We ordered a variety of dishes, and every single one was outstanding. From the appetizers to the main courses and desserts, everything was absolutely delicious. Not only was the food exceptional, but the attention to detail and overall experience made the meal truly unforgettable.

What a pleasant surprise! My son and I went for lunch and ordered off of the lunch menu which is…read morebrilliant. You have a choice of three dishes from many options. The food was outstanding. The lunch special is under $20 and the portion size is much larger than the picture shows as the bowl is quite deep. The fillet was so good; perfectly prepared with rice and vegetables that were delicious. The presentation was quite modern and lovely. The service was excellent, and the restaurant is brand new and beautiful on the inside. My only recommendation would be to add low-carb, light beer to their drink options. It pairs perfectly with Asian fair. Look forward to returning!

So this was actually my second time at Naori, and I brought my brother and my childhood best friend…read moreTatiana because I wanted her to experience it too. I had a great time the first time, and yep it's still that girl. Let's talk about the vibe real quick. The ambiance is everything. Modern, and just really well put together. From the furniture textures to the contrast in colors it all feels super intentional but still chill. Like, they knew what they were doing when they designed this place. 10/10 on the setting alone. Let's get down to the items shall we? What We Had Drinks ____________________ + Naori Signature Drink ($15) : 8.4/10 This one's made with Pisco Berries and Triple Sec. It's a layered, fruity cocktail that's a little more complex. Personally, I prefer the Pisco Sour it's cleaner and more balanced for my taste. But if you like citrusy and berry-forward drinks, you might love this one. Again, these are my reviews based on my taste buds. You might feel differently and that's ok honey. + Espresso Martini ($16) : 9/10 Strong, chocolatey, and gets the job done. + Lychee Martini ($16) : 8.6/10 Clean and balanced. Not too sweet, just smooth and refreshing + Pisco Sour ($16) : 10/10 My fave. Fruity, with this nice cold foam on top. Pretty sure there were peach or passionfruit notes in there. So good. * Shots - We also did a round (Don Julio, I think), and it kept the vibe going. Appetizers/Entrees __________________ +Nikkei Tiradito ($19) : 10/10 Thin tuna slices with a shouyu sauce that had a little citrusy kick. I could've had another plate just for myself. +Grilled Octopus ($20) : 8.4/10 This was good! Cooked well, had a nice char. Not my favorite thing on the table, but still strong comes with Peruvian corn and potato. +Arroz Chaufa Special ($24) : 10/10 Babyyy this dish was everything. Wok-fried rice, perfectly seasoned. That filet was so tender, and the shrimp just brought it all together. Easy standing ovation for me. * Dessert - I honestly can't remember what we ordered for dessert, but it was decent. Nothing crazy. I'd give it a 7/10. Overall Experience: 10/10 Customer Service: 10/10 Would I Be Back? Without a doubt. I even told my mom about this place and I think she went a couple months ago! This establishment has been Tamied™.

It's been too long since we had chef Jimmy's omakase. It is clear in the years that have passed…read morethat chef has not missed a beat! Just as fresh, decadent, and insanely good value as we remember. Chef infused some of the courses with local ingredients which made the tasting truly one-of-a-kind. You have to reserve ahead of time, and they kindly accommodated our limited availability. We literally fast the day of, because this is not a light omakase, you will leave full with a smile on your face! The sushi bar is tucked in the back giving you the cozy omakase experience, but behind you is the family friendly table area if that's more your style. Speaking of we met several of chef's family members that night, a testament to the love and care that goes into the food and service. Same as every other time we've been, several "regulars" swung by to thank chef after their meal. Our server was so friendly and helpful. This place is clearly a community staple. Can't forget dessert (included with Omakase), we went with the tempura cheesecake and ube flan, and they were sooo good. We are also excited to try their other location, Sticky Rice!

We came to visit Chef Jimmy, Mommy, and the rest of Otoro Sushi family. If you live in Fort…read moreLauderdale, Plantation, and Davie area but haven't been to Otoro Sushi yet, shame on you. You have no idea what you are missing out on. The atmosphere along with dining experience is perfect every time we visit here. I recommend ordering whatever you are craving and you won't be disappointed. Today, we ordered the Otoro spoons, sushi moriwase, chef special appetizers, chicken pad Thai, grilled octopus, toro sashimi, scallop sashimi, sweet shrimp nigiri, and ube flan for dessert. The quality of the fish was fresh as usual, and the customer service was on point. Thank you so much Ha, for serving us, and we will definitely be back for some more sushi in the near future. Yes, I would recommend this place to other sushi lovers as well as customers who enjoy kitchen food because they aren't yet accustomed to eating raw fish. This restaurant offers plenty of free parking spaces. Thank you Chef Jimmy, chef Hanes, Kayla, and Kristal for preparing our food today. Also, thank you Ha for serving us and making sure that we have everything we needed!

I love japan inn but not this location…read more Already started the night walking past a dead run over rat in the parking lot while on my way to the restaurant. Then we were told to sit down and wait even though there was no one there in the first place. We got seated 2 mins later, and the table location was alright, not the greatest. This location is smaller than the other one we go to which is located in Weston. What also didn't sit right with me was that they allowed 2 huge Great Dane dogs, neither of them had a service dog vest on, and worse...one dog got loose and ran around the restaurant. Just very unsanitary. I was questioned why I didn't want to get a cocktail after I had declined twice and had to share that I was pregnant (which is not their business) for me to not be asked again. Just was not the best experience I have had before at a Japan inn. I would not come back to this location.

Destiny is the best!

That said, being from NJ surrounded by great Asian food, this place definitely lived up to the expectation. The crispy spicy tuna was probably one of the best I've ever had. Angry chicken was also delicious with great flavor. The shrimp fried rice, not pictured, was good and had chunks of shrimp. We would probably skip the beef bulgogi if we came back. Flavor was good but meat wasn't very tender. Service was okay. Overall, good experience. If we came back it would definitely be for happy hour.

Crispy Rice w/Tuna 10/10 nothing original- however crispy rice was super hot and crispy! Flavor and tuna texture so good! Yellowtail sushi roll 10/10- doesn't seem like much in the photo- but one of the best yellow tail rolls I've eaten. Lightweight portion of fresh yellowtail- with light greens- Ribs 100/10 yes I rated it 100/10!!! Literally falls off bone and so fluffy and flavorful! Slaw is a nice refreshing texture! Wagyu gyoza 8.9- super flavorful and cooked to perfection- however needed salt to bring out flavors.

Devine. - sushi for dessert! They legit took rice crispy treat-rolled it out- spread vanilla ice cream on top and rolled it like a sushi roll! Served with chocolate sauce for dipping and berries.

Paced our small dishes accordingly- referred to my champagne as bubbles- yes that's why we love it! - said here's something to hold your purse and brought out a hook to hang my purse!
