“ Great food, great service, and overall a lovely dining experience. We gone here for years, and they do not disappoint. Gluten free options are great too. ”
“ I mostly prefer all you can sushi restaurants which this is not. However, it did not disappoint me. The portions were good, and they even gave a free sushi while dining in. I only went there for lunch, but the price was about right for lunch and the portions were pretty good. The fish was also fresh as well. Overall, pretty good considering this restaurant is not all you can eat. ”
“ Love the ambiance here and the food is delicious and fresh. I appreciate the samples on the house of different rolls and even desserts. Definitely recommend. ”
“ Still a frequent order-er but wanted to get props to dining inside. This is the 2nd year in a row I've brought a friend in for her birthday (her choice) and both times it has just been such a lovely experience. The staff is so attentive and nice! We had the special which included a bunch of different tuna sashimi and a roll. It was all spectacular! We will continue to come here for celebrations. Thank you Swordfish!! ”
“ Karmyn was our server and she was EXCELLENT. This place has such a beautiful interior and great ambiance. Great music playing. Outdoor patio seating with gorgeous fresh flowers in planters. Super clean inside and outside. We were at a local nail salon earlier and the nail technician actually recommended this place! She was so excited she showed us a few pics of the sushi so we naturally had to check it out. She was spot on. The menu is so extensive I didn't know where to begin. We asked for recommendations from our server and she said the Ocean Drive was a good roll with yellowtail (my fav). We ordered that and: oceans 13 roll, yellowtail and scallions roll, house salad regular, casas del bosque Sauvignon blanc wine. Our waitress brought us a small complimentary bowl of edamame which was so nice. Everything was so fresh and fancy. The rolls came out and they put dry ice in little cups on the platters for dramatic effects. I love the little robot that shows you to your table and brings you waters. Will look forward to coming here again! ”
“ Everything we ordered were delicious and fresh. It was really nice to receive complimentary Baby Shark sushi and have us try something different. As well as tempura fried banana for dessert. Dark Night has a savory taste and the smokey salmon went well with the cream cheese. If you like lobster, then try the Golden dragon and it had a hint of zest. The Black dragon was my fave, but it's probably because Eel is my favorite. Green Dragon was packed with ingredients and you just can't seem to get enough. The dessert tempura ice cream was really good and it was a lot bigger than I thought and the cappuccino cake had a really strong coffee flavor, which reminds me of tiramisu. Definitely need to come back to try more from their large menu. ”
“ Came here tonight for some sushi and miso soup. I was immediately greeted. The hostess had the robot server lead the way to my table which was different. I didn't mind it. The menu I was given was a paper one that they send through the mail. I'm guessing you can keep it if you want to. But their menu is also available online and they have a QR code for it at the table. The restaurant has a nice little vibe to it. Dim lighting and trendy seating and light fixtures. I really enjoyed their miso soup. Great rich flavor! The server brought me a piece of shark maki with my soup. It was delicious! It took about 15 minutes for my maki rolls to arrive. I got the Dirty Old Man roll and a California roll. Both were delicious and beautifully presented. Overall a good experience. I recommend visiting the Swordfish restaurant if you're looking for delicious sushi on a date night. ”
“ Had a fantastic experience with great service and delicious food. Definitely worth checking out! ”
“ First time trying this place because I got several recommendations to try it as a go-to favorite sushi spot. We will DEFINITELY be going back. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Our server, Mae, was wonderful! I think they must know their regulars from total newcomers because she kept bringing us small plates of things to try "on the house" and it was all so good. My fav was the super white tuna with truffle oil... It was melt in your mouth amazing. The drinks were also made very well and they had a nice selection. The chefs were all very friendly and the robotic servers were a cute touch! The cost for 3 of us was very reasonable for a great sushi dinner with drinks included. Can't wait to try more of their menu. ”
