Dan D.

was surprised, and then impressed by the meal I shared at Summer Wood Cafe. The tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and eel quality was first rate and the sushi rice was excellent. I admired the artistry of the avocado shavings that accompanied our dragon roll. Based on this meal I'd recommend almost any sushi they have. I laughed to myself when, following a conversation with our attentive waitress, I realized that hot green tea is an off-menu item here. And it was served properly: just short of boiling hot, with the pot left at our table for self-refills.

Cheesecake tempura

First time coming here based on reviews and crossed our fingers it would be as good as promised and it was, every appetizer was great sushi was great the mango passion tea was shockingly amazing chunks of actual fruit inside. Service was lovely but my favorite part is it didn't have a fishy smell walking no oil smell it had a pleasant smell walking in and the place was as so clean. Even the shelves next to our table was dust free. 10/10 if you're picky about where you eat I absolutely re

We stumbled upon Summer Wood Cafe after an impromptu trip to Sawgrass Mills. We were met with friendly and attentive service from what appeared to be their only server. Our food came out promptly and tasted amazing! We both ordered tea - mine was passion fruit and lychee and my fiancés was just passion fruit.

Honestly I don't have much to say but only that the food was amazing! Small business owner and the food is definitely made with passion! Their fried rice beats every hibachi restaurant I ever went too. 10/10 would recommend. Very small and lowkey shop and super fast service.

Rainbow roll

This review is based on take out* Tired and hungry parents treating themselves to sushi after the baby goes to bed. Summer wood cafe did not disappoint! Wow amazing taste! I've tried a lot of sushi and is always hard to find authentic, fresh, sushi. Summer wood cafe delivered just that. We also ordered pork dumplings and they were a great tasty addition. I will be going back to experience the ambiance and sitting down service, but for now the food has already won me over!

Matcha water  . Waste my money .. how u go wrong with a matcha ?

Today I ordered Matcha with cake batter taro it taste like water . I told the lady who took my order & she just looked at me like there is nothing she can do .. shrimp tempura wasn't all that. I'm sure they have better options. I won't be going back here .!

I've been here twice now. Just moved to the area. It's 1000% questionable when sushi restaurants need to add cream cheese to their rolls but so far so good. My son enjoyed his steak hibachi. The lunch hibachi or sushi special is definitely worth it. $15 for sushi and $19 for hibachi. No, you don't hear or see the hibachi grill. The teas are delicious and taste fresh. I'm looking forward to trying a coffee drink next time.

Never disappoints absolutely fantastic every single time With every single bite, I love this place more and more From the beef fried rice to the delicious honeydew or lychee smoothies, don't even get me started on the strawberry flavor Chen-Chen & LAN-Lan are my heroes Comfortable relax, atmosphere Bigger than best service, possible, friendly, and memorable staff

Tempura sweet potato
Phoebe E.

This shop is tucked away in a quiet plaza just next to the DMV. The inside of the restaurant is very cozy, clean and cute. The staff is friendly and welcoming. While I was eating, what seemed like a regular came in and the server was excited to see them, welcoming them back into the restaurant like a good friend. I tried to order something I had before but the server told me they no longer sold it but kindly suggested an alternative. I opted to eat in. The key west roll was very tasty, it had raw tuna, cucumber, and topped with eel. I also got the tempura sweet potato which was extremely hot and fresh. Very crispy and was served with a sweet chili sauce. I also had an iced matcha tea latte with oatmilk and it was pretty tasty. A little on the sweet side for me but it seems like it's customizable. Food service and atmosphere is great. Prices for the food are a little high but I'm willing to pay a little extra for great service.

Rainbow Roll and Tuna Roll
Benjamin H.

Summer wood cafe is great food and service! We stumbled across this hidden gem and gave it a try. First off the staff are so nice and accommodating. They have plenty of hibachi options. Now this isn't a restaurant where they'll cook the food in front of you, but the food tastes amazing. A group of us went and we split some sushi and hibachi. The sushi was great! We didn't get any house rolls unfortunately, but the rainbow roll and tuna roll were both great. Tasted great and fresh, they were prepared well. The hibachi was also fantastic! Steak was actually medium rare just like we ordered, the fried rice was fantastic, as were the vegetables. All round just a fantastic dish. Topped it off with a boba tea, which they've got tons of options for. We'll for sure be returning, great food, great people, great price!

Hibachi steak lunch special togo
Henry V L.

Summmer Wood Cafe What can I say? The hibachi was really salty With exception to the steak and veggie The steak wasn't chewy which was great But the fried rice was not the same great taste It also came with ginger salad and egg roll A generous meal for lunch though The veggies were really good but not the sauce and salad I felt like nothing touched my pallet I believe it's because I got my order togo But now next time I know

Nancy L.

Was in the area and decided to pop in and check out this place for lunch! The hibachi lunch specials are a pretty good deal! Only $15.99. Pretty tasty with the salad & the ginger dressing was different but tasty. For our appetizers we got the takoyaki (squid balls) but they were just ok, I probably would not get them again. However, the crab angels were stuffed and a great choice for an appetizer if you like crab Rangoons! Lots of menu items to choose from. I also got a HK boba milk tea, that was okay. I wished I would've gotten a lychee smoothie instead- seems like a tasty option. Considering everyone who was picking up to go orders got a smoothie. This place was really spacious and lots of decor around it. The staff seemed friendly as well. Our total came out to $75 as we also ended up ordering hibachi to go. I probably would recommended eating there though!

Freshly made Spring Rolls
Paris G.

So as you may know by now this is my favorite go to spot to go for sushi and hibachi. The food is always made fresh to order (tonight I had the Fried Rice with Salmon) which is one of my favorite dishes with extra Yum Yum sauce. I love the Thai Iced Tea with cake cream it's up there with the Iced Hong Kong tea and the Cake Cream Toro Bubble Tea. The Wonton Chips are the perfect snack. My boyfriend loves their Chicken Hibachi and Strawberry Smoothie. The customer service is always impeccable and the staff is nice and friendly. I always enjoy coming here and excited to go back soon.

If you've ever been walking through Sawgrass Mills Mall, bags in both hands, and thought, "You know…read morewhat would really complete this retail journey? Sushi... delivered by conveyor belt," then Sushigami is about to be your place. Let's set expectations properly. The sushi here is not life changing. This is not the meal you'll be telling your grandchildren about. On sushi alone, it's a solid three stars. Totally fine, very average, and honestly exactly what you want when you're eating raw fish inside a mall the size of a small country. But then the conveyor belt starts rolling, and suddenly none of that matters. Plate after plate of sushi cruises past you like it's auditioning for your attention. You lock eyes with one. You make a decision. You pull it off the belt, crack open the lid, take a bite, and feel like you just won something. No waiting, no awkward server check-ins, just instant sushi gratification. The pricing system somehow turns dinner into a game. You pay by the color on the rim of the plate. Blue plate is five bucks. Orange plate is eight. Before you know it, you're stacking plates, doing mental math mid-bite, and quietly negotiating with yourself about whether one more plate is "basically free." And if nothing rolling by is calling your name, the menu has your back. The salmon tacos are the standout. They're absolutely loaded with salmon, aggressively messy, and require a full commitment to eating like a feral raccoon. Delicious, sloppy, and worth it. So yes, Sushigami lands at three stars overall. The sushi is average, but the experience is fun, fast, and strangely entertaining. Where else can you sit in the middle of a mall, watch sushi parade past you, and eat until your shopping fatigue completely disappears? Not fine dining. Not a hidden gem. Just a good time, some decent sushi, and a conveyor belt that understands the assignment.

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™.

When we first arrived, our waiter completely forgot about us and another waiter had to step in and help. My husband ordered a seafood soup, and the waiter's assistant brought it out... but with no spoon. We waited about 5 minutes before she came back with a tiny dessert spoon for a seafood soup I asked the hostess if we could please get a proper spoon. She kept walking in and out until finally she told us that all the spoons in the restaurant were occupied and we had to wait. Meanwhile the soup had already been sitting there for over 10 minutes getting cold. At the end, Alejandro the only person actually trying to help finally went and found a spoon himself. By then my husband didn't even want the soup anymore. Our original waiter finally came back and asked if we wanted him to reheat the soup ‍ My husband said no, please just take it away and bring the check. Then the waiter says, "Look, I removed the soup from the bill," as if that fixed the situation The saddest part is that no manager ever came over, nothing. Everyone acted like this was completely normal. The only person who genuinely tried to resolve the situation was Alejandro.

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.

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!
