   A very surprising and excellent restaurant. Our chili chicken dish and Shirazi were outstanding. The drinks were great as well

   All in all, just not good in my opinion. An empty restaurant but still poor service. One meal okay, the other, not so. I won't be back...

    Understaffed when we went. So waited a looong time. Weren't offered any appetizers while we waited. The food was fresh but used too much oil and lacked flavor.

    Service was good. However, value was questionable. I got the “sushi boat 1” and the rice on the nigiri was ice cold. Also got the waygu entree and got a few slices of beef, sauce and a bowl of rice, but no other sides or veggies

    I have always said I could eat sushi every day, but not from here. There are no signature or even typical rolls, just a list of fish and 4 ingredients that you can add to have a roll made. The roll I ordered (I used 3 of the 4 available ingredients - cucumber, avocado & massago (a $2 up-charge) - I skipped the cream cheese) with tuna was tiny. The hamachi, usually my absolute favorite thing in the world, was dense and left a weird waxy mouth texture, I really thought I might get sick. The salmon nigiri was the same, I'm not sure what they did to make fish taste/feel like this. My girlfriend had a steak stir-fry which was super bland. The cocktails were good.

    The food was great as was the service. Look at the menu prior to going. Very lite on sushi. This is not a classic sushi bar/restaurant. Maybe 2-3 rolls and 9-10 choices of sushi. Other than that food and service was excellent.

    We enjoyed all the food we ate at Sensei from the appetizer to the meal and drinks. The only negative is that the price of the food for what you get, for some of the items, is a bit skimpy. The Duck was well portioned as were the noodles, but the Sea Bass was quite expensive for a small piece of the fish with nothing else. I would definitely return, but not order the Sea Bass.

    There was a long wait due to it being a busy Saturday night, even with a reservation we waited for about 20 minutes. But the hostess was really nice and accommodating and the service was great. Food was delicious. Because we had to wait we ended up going to the bar and getting a fancy cucumber mojito which was lovely. We will definitely be going back.

    Great experience! What a pleasant surprised. Outdoor dinner was excellent! Delicious, fresh and beautifully served. Hot White Sangria was a success. Lobster wonton, Seafood noodles, Ribeye salad...amazing flavors fusion. A little overpriced. We will come back!

    We had dinner reservations for this past Saturday night for a party of 4. I have to say that the area was busy with Family weekend at UF and many of the sororities and fraternities also had family weekend. They were short staffed in the kitchen and the service. They were very honest up front about the wait time. We made the best of it and had good conversation. The girls up front were hustling and trying their very best to accommodate everyone and our server was pleasant and had a smile every time she came to the table. We had the vegetarian friend rice, the lobster rice, the chicken dish and another rice dish. Everything was fresh and very tasteful. They really deserve a 5+ given the situation they were faced with.

    We decided to have dinner with my daughter, I was very disappointed about the food quality, the service was very bad, it took about 40 mins to bring the food, honestly I will not recommend this restaurant, also music so loud for a small place.

    Always very friendly staff and fantastic sushi! However, the most current wait person could be a bit more polished. When spending over $100, a bit surprised when they said crap in the conversation. I ordered the sea bass but was disappointed, some of the pcs were thin and therefore overcooked. Wished I had ordered sushi as I have done in the past. Definitely recommend this restaurant!

    I really enjoyed my meal. It was delicious and beautifully presented. Somewhat pricey but at least it was worth it! Definitely felt overcharged for a can of local beer though ($9). Service was almost TOO fast, but there was no pressure to leave after we finished paying and we did linger a bit. I would return!

    The service and ambiance were great, but the food left a lot of room for improvement. I had the chicken katsu which was very dry and lacked any flavor. I had to ask for several sauces just to be able to eat the chicken as it was so dry. My husband had the lobster fried rice which was soggy and wet for a fried rice. Overall disappointing and likely will not return as there are much better dining options in the same area.

    This place had amazing portions. The menu is not so large as to overwhelm you but definitely requires some decision making on what you want to try (on this visit). I'll have to go back to try some of the other dishes I did not have. The Chef's sushi sampler was extremely fresh and the portions were perfect. Also, don't sleep on the Mixology.

    Fabulous food! Flavors were very tasty. Food was super fresh and nice and hot. A little on the pricey side (similar prices to P.F. Chang's- but food was much better here!) Service was great and the owner came out and talked to us, very sweet. Would HIGHLY recommend!

    The food is absolutely delicious and the service was very good as well. I did find it a bit pricey but that won’t keep us from returning because the food was that good. We had two servers, maybe one was training, and they were attentive and pleasant. We sat outside which was fun. I highly recommend this restaurant. It will be our go to restaurant so we can try some more of their delicious sounding entrees.
