    Sun Surf Sand is a perfect brunch spot--especially on a gorgeous sunny day. Whether you're sitting inside or out, you'll have a beautiful view of the Fort Lauderdale beach. Outdoor seating includes lounges, a fire pit for late nights and a DJ. Very beachy vibe. The restaurant itself has a rustic elegant charm. Lots of wood and yellow lighting, creating the perfect ambiance. I must mention their espresso martini. I requested mine to be made with tequila and OMG, it was perfection. We ordered a few appetizers and entrees to share. Food was fantastic. The ample portions of the servings were perfect for sharing. Some of our favorites included the duck onion rings, shrimp tacos with yucca fries, the neo tokyo roll, and burrata. We were celebrating two birthdays. Our waitress Vanessa G surprised us with a complimentary dessert. Soft and warm freshly made donuts with a variety of dipping sauces was the perfect ending to our meal.

    We ended up going there after we were scheduled to go to Nube but couldn't get in because they do not accept kids and we didn't know whatsoever. Ambiance: The view is nice, it is by the beach. They kept the door open and we were sitting by the door so the heat was coming but overall nice ambiance. Music was decent. Food: Food is okay, nothing to go crazy about. The bang bang shrimp (is not pictured) but it was not that good. The tuna crispy cakes was actually fresh and good. The sushi was okay nothing to be impressed about, i had the S3 roll. The salmon part was good though. Drinks: I had the passion fruit drink and it was described as a sweet drink but i don't think it was that sweet, we added simple syrup, it was a good and strong drink. Price: We had 3 drinks, bang bang shrimp, 2 tuna crispy tartare, 2 sushi and a wagyu steak with fries with a side of truffle fries. It was definitely a lot of food, but for the flavor we felt as though it wasn't worth the cost. Our total came out to be $240 so about 80 per person it was the three of us.

    Nice spot for sushi along the beach in Fort Lauderdale. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. I had the poke plate which was good but layered with a bit too many pickled onions. My daughters opted for avocado toast and a spicy tuna roll. Winner we all loved was a bag of donuts! So fresh and almost melted in your mouth. I highly recommend. Menu was a bit confusing to offer things like sushi and donuts but we enjoyed the meal and our server was attentive.

    Came with a friend earlier in the week to try out the happy hour here, and we had an amazing time. The weather was perfect, and it wasn't too busy so we were able to enjoy the fire pit area. WHAT WE ORDERED : Korean fried chicken bites, bang bang shrimp, dragon roll + 3 happy hour cocktails. Our bill was about $67 plus tip and it was definitely worth it! One of the better happy hours I've been to out in Ft. Lauderdale.

    I loved the quick service and the tasty bang bang shrimp and tuna roll. The music at 5pm on a Sunday was actually the perfect volume and not overly loud. The booths are comfy and ambience is nice overall!

    Sun Surf Sand is a perfect brunch spot--especially on a gorgeous sunny day. My friend and I indulged with a refreshing cocktail and a "mix it up" brunch with the classic brunch items and a sushi roll. All the items were delicious. The crowd was lively. And the service was phenomenal with the server staggering our food orders. This is a must go to spot right off the beach and A1A.

    Came here late in the evening since they stay open pretty late. The restaurant has a very romantic atmosphere and the outdoor fire pit is a nice touch that keeps the patio warm. It's a good spot for a girls night out or a date night. The sushi and omakase felt very overpriced for what you get. We did order two pieces of wagyu and toro nigiri, which were good, but overall the sushi pricing didn't really match the value. Here's everything else we ordered: Salmon Crispy Rice - Very good. Crunchy and topped with jalapeño. I liked it. Grilled Octopus - A few pieces of octopus that were tender, but it was barely charred. The plate was mostly fava beans... Zulu Pork Ribs - Fall off the bone tender. Flavorful and actually pretty filling. Chilean Sea Bass - Flaky but bland. This was the most disappointing dish. For $49, I've definitely had much better. Not worth it in my opinion.

    This is a great sushi spot right on the beach. The location is hard to beat. Service is fast and friendly, making it perfect for a sunset dinner on a Thursday night. Jinan took great care of us! The cocktails were excellent. We had the Mamasita and the Smoke Signal Old Fashioned, and the menu offers a solid selection of sushi. We started with the Tuna Crispy Rice, and then I ordered the Neo Tokyo and the Angry Hamachi, and my boyfriend had the Lucky Roll and the Surf and Turf Roll. Prices are fair considering the quality and the beachside setting (about $105 per person). Overall, it's a relaxed and enjoyable spot, worth a visit if you're in the area.

    Hamachi Tiradito
    Alexina A.

    S3 was absolutely marvelous. The atmosphere was really nice we sat outside, and the heaters made it cozy and comfortable. We started with the hamachi tiradito, which was incredible; the hamachi literally melted in your mouth like butter. We also ordered the S3 sushi roll, and it was delicious, with the perfect combination of salmon and steak. Our server was very nice and friendly. For dinner, we went with the skirt steak since they were out of the filet, and we were pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Everything from start to finish was great, and the overall experience exceeded expectations. I would absolutely love to go back and try more dishes.

    We had the best tuna crispy rice cakes ever. The spicy tuna was absolutely delicious. We also very much enjoyed the Hamachi Tiradito! Cool look inside.

    Donuts

    Wow wow wow best brunch!!! Amazing ocean views, delicious food, amazing service, bottomless mimosas!! I came here with my friend and we had an amazing time! The service was absolutely phenomenal!! When you order bottomless, they bring a bottle of champagne and juice to your table which I love. The burrata appetizer was INCREDIBLE I'm telling you it was the most delicious thing I've ever tasted. Get it!!!!! The steak bowl was just ok... the flavors and everything included was delicious, but the steak was over cooked and tasted off. The onion rings were underwhelming, not a lot of flavor but crispy. The donuts for dessert were delicious!! 10/10 recommend!!!

    Roll (and an empty Edamame bowl)

    Came here with colleagues for a bit of a nicer dinner, such a fun, elegant spot. The bar by the beach is lovely, albeit windy, and the booths inside are nicely sized for a small group. Fire pits outside are nice too. The waiter was SO knowledgeable about all the items on the menu and made great recommendations for delicious picks, helping gauge if we'd ordered enough, and having a good sense of humor too.

    Where can I find the latest health score?

    myfloridalicense.com.

    What are the best parking options?

    There is street parking to the West. I believe the road is Breakers Ave.

    What are the vegan options?

    Unreliable.

    Are you allowed to smoke (cigars, vape, etc) in the outdoor area?

    Yes

    Would this be a good place for a dinner party, celebrating a 25th birthday? We want fancy and yummy, but fun.?

    It's on the beach so wouldn't consider it fancy. But you can dress up in the evening and have a great time. Food and drinks are great!

    Do they charge corkage? I found out. It's $20 and the wine cannot be on their menu.

    Probably, they charge for everything else.

    Do they have a good whiskey collection?

    Not sure. Best to call

I was so excited to finally make a visit! Like others have said, Theres a garage or you can park on the street. It was $3.75ish/hr on the street. I'm not sure how much the garage was. We came right at opening and there was already people there! We took a Quick Look at the menu outside. It's at the bottom floor of the garage and the plaza looks like it's in a subway station. It reminded me of Japan! They chose a great spot. It was well thought out. The art, walls, plates were so aesthetic. Services was great as well! I had to start with the classic Japanese food. Although I did want to try everything. Started off with the JFC. It was perfect! Perfectly fried and had just enough sauce. The marinade was perfect. The crisp-perfect. I love that they used chicken thigh. It was a perfect start. It was nice because they waited for us to finish our appetizer before bringing out our entrees and that's never done at a lot of restaurants anymore. I'll start off with the disappointment. I ordered the tonkatsu for myself. I was shocked at how burnt it was. And how disappointed I was that they allowed it to be served to me. It was very dry on the inside. And the whole dish wasnt as piping hot as the karaage was. Kinda like it was sitting on the pass waiting for the ramen to be done maybe? I wouldn't have mind if it was lukewarm if it wasn't burnt. That really bothered me. Not something I expected so early on in the day. But I ate it. It was hard to chew because it was dry. This was my only complaint. I wouldn't suggest ordering this dish. I liked the details. How the cabbage and carrots were cut. I liked the Japanese rice too. I could tell it was Japanese rice. It reminded me of going to mt Fuji when we went to a restaurant there that had the mt Fuji rice. It was perfectly cooked. Not soggy or hard. My partner had the house ramen-ichimora. It. Was. The. Best. Ramen. I've. Had. In awhile. lol. It used to be Momosan but went down hill about 2 years ago. They ended up shutting down this year. Anyway, back to the ramen. It wasn't as thick as Momosan (I like thick broth). But I liked this one too! They are both different broths. The meats were very very tender. Noodles weren't Al dente. But overall loved it. You won't find another broth like that in florida. Another thing I'd like to mention was the plates with good portions. Which I haven't seen done in a loooong time. We were stuffed! Next time I'd like to try their sushi and hopefully bentos for lunch because I miss going to Japanese restaurants that have the bento boxes.
