    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: [[HIGHLIGHT]]The view is nice, it is by the beach.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They kept the door open and we were sitting by the door so the heat was coming but overall nice ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Music was decent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice spot for sushi along the beach in Fort Lauderdale.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They offer both indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The weather was perfect, and it wasn't too busy so we were able to enjoy the fire pit area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    My children took me here for Mother's Day today and what a lovely time we had . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere and the service was excellent very warm , welcoming, kind people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server Zoey was excellent . We did brunch and it was delicious. A great way to brunch on Mother's Day .

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sun Surf Sand is a perfect brunch spot--especially on a gorgeous sunny day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The crowd was lively.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Stopped in for a beachside casual dinner which did not disappoint! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere felt a bit more upscale for our casual attire, but beachside nice casual attire is permitted.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The sushi was amazing, be sure to start with the hummus (so much flavor!) and the Korean chicken appetizer. My salmon bowl was perfect and the chicken and shrimp stir fry was the perfect amount for a hungry teen. Shrimp tempura roll was packed with flavor and regret not getting a second. Will definitely go back. Service was fast and awesome.

    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.

    One of the best restaurants I've tried on the Ft Lauderdale coast. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for solid Asian fusion. The happy hour deals are great as well. Would come back here for the food, vibes, and service.

    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
    Amy H.

    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!!!

    Yummmm  The meat is so delicious
    Gloria N.

    Our server Bri was phenomenal! So my husband drank an incredible old fashion , I only drank water so she gave me Mint water !!!! Come on how awesome is that !?!

    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

Parking was easy, with a metered lot conveniently located across the street. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and requested outdoor seating so we could enjoy the waterfront views and watch the boats pass by. The atmosphere was relaxing, scenic, and definitely one of the highlights of the experience. Our server was friendly, attentive, and had a great personality. Table snacks was a small bowl of popcorn. To start, we ordered a Pearl Bourbon Smash and a Dragon Margarita. The Bourbon Smash was so good that we ordered a second one. The Margarita wasn't my favorite, but I finished it and followed it up with a Sensei Old Fashioned. For our entrees, we ordered the Korean BBQ Bulgogi and the Korean Steak Chimicurri (spelled that way on the menu, so I'm not sure if it was intentional). The Bulgogi portion was generous, and we really wanted to love it, but unfortunately the meat arrived cold. That was disappointing, especially after being told that everything is made from scratch. My husband's entree was served about 10 minutes before mine, which wasn't ideal. Generally, guests dining together should be served at the same time. I encouraged him to start eating so his meal wouldn't get cold, but unfortunately it already was. My steak arrived hot and was cooked slightly more than the medium temperature I requested, leaning closer to medium-well. Despite that, I still enjoyed it. It was served with jasmine rice and maduros, which complemented the dish nicely. Overall, we had a lovely dining experience. The waterfront setting, pleasant service, and enjoyable cocktails made for a great outing. We would definitely consider returning, especially to combine dinner with one of the boat tours. To top it off, our server gave us a bag of cotton candy. I felt like a kid. I haven't eaten cotton candy in years

Food: I really enjoyed my Trio roll it was full of yellow tail, tuna, and salmon, and I ordered eel sauce on the side. Service: The food came out quick, but I didn't like our waitress. She didn't speak English really well and couldn't understand us when we had questions for her. My friend ordered a side of noodles for her dish and it was literally just butter noddles and when she asked for a sauce to put on them (which she wanted in the first place) she said it was going to be an extra charge and she also didn't list any options of sauce so my friend had to come up with it off the top of her head.

    We recently ate at Phat Boy Sushi and unfortunately both of us got really sick afterward…read more We shared our entrées. We ordered beef fried rice, gyoza, and pork ramen. Because we shared, it's hard to pinpoint which specific dish may have caused the issue. However, within hours of eating, we both experienced significant gastrointestinal symptoms. I personally started burping up the taste of pork ramen around 1am and have been dealing with ongoing severe stomach issues since about 2am. It's understandable that foodborne illness can sometimes be difficult to trace to one specific item, but since we shared everything and both became ill the same night, it felt important to share our experience. We hope the restaurant reviews food handling and preparation practices to prevent this from happening to others. Unfortunately, this was a very uncomfortable experience for us and we wont ever eat at this location again.

I asked the server how long they have been open and he said 8 months but I see Yelp pics and reviews dating back at least 3 years. Someone must have told him the wrong information but no matter, we are just glad we finally found it. We went with the classic Shoyu Ramen with nishu beef and black garlic. I was over the moon when they touted a 12 hour chicken broth soup base. Every ramen shop I have tried to get ramen from has a pork based broth which I do not eat. I'm finally able to have ramen and boy it did not disappoint. The noodles were perfectly al dente and had a satisfying chew with every bite. The broth was so flavorful with the bamboo shoots, bean sprouts and all the slow cooked fats and oil from the chicken broth and the nishu beef, which was tender, thinly sliced rib-eye meat, I suspect. All this topped off with a perfectly cooked soy marinated egg. What an amazing flavor combination. The takoyaki appetizer was also delicious. Biting into the crispy exterior, you are then met with a soft and tender interior filled with chunks of octopus. The balls sat atop Japanese mayo and was drizzled with delicious takoyaki sauce. All it was missing was the katsuobushi which would have elevated the takoyaki flavor. We also ordered the Mala Shrimp which was on the Chinese menu and did not come with rice. That had to be ordered separately. Food came out quick as we were the only patrons apart from another table outside and service was good until a large party sauntered in and the server became inundated with requests. All in all, we will definitely be back to try out other menu items.

Our waiter checked in on how we were liking our meal and even turned a hot latte into iced without any problem. The outdoor patio is beautiful as it overlooks the beach right across the street. We went for breakfast which has a small but amazing menu. As a vegan myself I had to order off the "sides" portion of the menu and I ordered an English muffin and a sliced avocado - very affordable ($5 total). I also ordered the fruit platter ($10) which came with an array of yummy fruits including pear, melons, pineapple, oranges, grapes and strawberries. There was more than enough for our table of three! My daughter had the pancakes which came with a warmed jam, syrup, and whipped cream. She said they were very fluffy. My husband had the chaffles which are croissants pressed in a waffle maker. They came with the same sides as the pancakes. And again he said they were so light and fluffy. We rounded off our meal with iced lattes - mine made with oat milk - and they were outstanding. I usually do not like iced drinks but the weather called for it and I was not disappointed! Overall Takato's breakfast is A+ and the view takes it over the edge of greatness! I hope you get a chance to enjoy it as much as we did! We returned to Takato for dinner and what an amazing meal we had. My one warning is to ask about portion size as many dishes are worthy of sharing size. We ordered an array of food. My son loved the kimchi short rib tacos (2 to an order). My daughter had the duck bao and California roll - both received two thumbs up! My husband had the wagyu sliders which he thought were an appetizer but ended up being a good sized meal served with french fries. He said the burger roll was a bit dry and could have used a sauce. The fries received rave reviews. We also had the mushroom gyoza (5 to an order) and these were delicious. I had the Takato salad without cheese and it did not disappoint. It came in a big bowl with crispy tofu. And I also enjoyed the vegetable sushi which provided a light fragrant taste with a crunchy texture. Takato hits the mark on all fronts and will definitely be a place to which we return whenever we come to Ft. Lauderdale!
