Sakana Nikkei - (Near Fort Lauderdale, FL)

5 /5 lyla faria: This was such a cute little hidden gem in Ft Lauderdale. The vibes inside are great with the DJ, but it was quiet enough that you dont feel overwhelmed by how loud the music is. All of the waiters were very sweet, attentive, and provided quick service. The food came out very fast, and it was pretty good. I thought the menu and the mix of Peruvian and Japanese cuisine were super unique. Drinks were great too. Would recommend if youre looking for a new restaurant to try with friends or even family!

5 /5 Gina Pereira: It was my first time at the restaurant for a girls night and I had Diego as my server. He was very attentive, gave the best recommendations, very professional. All the ceviches had great taste and very fresh. All food ordered were good quality. We ordered just about a little of everything. Also dessert was delicious. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you!!

5 /5 Moshe: Another great place around Las Olas. We had an amzing time. This place has a cool Miami Vibe with Dj and ambiance. The people are all dressed to the 9s. The food was very good and did not feel rushed at all. Bartenders knows what they are doing behind that bar. Friendly and knowledgeable. We had lots of apps that looked so good and tasted good we ate them before taking pictures. But then the main coarse with sushi, slow cooked ribs, Sea Bass all were amazing. Great place. Go and you will not be disappointed.

5 /5 Paul Jordan: I was blown away. The energy and company of our service, drink quality and originality, flavors of our food and dessert. Top tier. I will definetly be back and would definetly reccomend to anyone. The Dj energy, ambiance, and decor also deserve recognition. Perfect spot for any occasion. Ask for Kethel!

5 /5 Rhea Cassimire: An absolute gem — every detail at Sakana Nikkei is done with heart, precision, and flavor! From start to finish, our experience at Sakana Nikkei was nothing short of phenomenal. We were warmly welcomed by the owner, whose kindness and passion for the restaurant set the tone for the evening. Her husband, the chef, crafted one incredible dish after another — everything was clearly made by hand, fresh, and with so much love. I particularly enjoyed that unlike most Las Olas restaurants, there was no blaring music and I could easily hear my company and Eddie as he explained anything we needed to us. Eddie truly elevated the experience. He was knowledgeable, personable, and perfectly paced each course so that the meal flowed seamlessly. His recommendations were spot-on, and you could tell he genuinely enjoys what he does. The service was basically white glove, and everything came out quickly and well prepared. We started with the Inca Old Fashioned — a must-try twist on a classic cocktail — followed by the shrimp and pork dumplings, nigiri that was unbelievably fresh and literally melted in your mouth, the hamachi tiradito, short ribs, and yakimeshi with chicken. Every dish was beautifully balanced, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. To finish, we had the Bruselina de Lúcuma for dessert — light, decadent, and the perfect ending to a truly memorable meal. You can feel the care, craftsmanship, and passion behind everything at Sakana Nikkei — from the food to the service to the warm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s the kind of place that leaves you already planning your next visit before you’ve even left.
