Sushi Sake Fort Myers

12901 McGregor Blvd., Unit 23, Fort Myers – (239)208-7356

Sushi Sake looks like a sushi restaurant should, with sleek wood, neon highlights and a modern atmosphere. What’s even better than a pretty place is pretty sushi! Here, plates of sushi rolls are garnished with purple orchids or served in palm leaf boats. The idea behind Sushi Sake is to offer something for everyone, in the spirit of high-quality, fresh and fun Asian cuisine. From sushi and sashimi to hibachi and teriyaki, full-flavored Japanese food is the trend at Sushi Sake. The Angel Roll, with shrimp tempura and krab salad, arrives looking too pretty to eat, but dig in! Eel sauce and a light crunch make this roll a favorite!

Hibachi House

6900 Daniels Parkway, Suite 5, Fort Myers – (239)672-8968

Japanese soup spoons, called chirirenge, adorn one full wall inside Hibachi House. The artful spoons look like lotus petals. Both the décor here and the sushi are lovely. A new sushi offering is sushi pop, which is a sushi roll served in the same style as push-pop ice cream! This is kid-friendly sushi. Of course, traditional favorites like their Hawaii Roll, with red snapper tempura, apples and mango, hit the mark every time. Try Hibachi House for the sushi and consider topping off your meal with a deep-fried Oreo or a slice of orange chestnut cake. Full flavors and full tummies go hand in spoon at this Fort Myers favorite.

Ninja Thai and Sushi Bar

At Ninja Thai and Sushi, the sushi rolls are so long they nearly curve off the platter! This local delight is known for generous portions. Many of their online reviews compliment the size of Ninja’s sushi servings. The sushi chefs are equally skilled with slicing and arranging fresh ingredients into rolls, flowers and half-moons. A Bento Box with select sushi, sushi rice, and tempura shrimp is one menu offering that gives diners a taste of several Japanese favorites in one trendy container. Another fantastic item to enjoy previewing before you dive in is their sushi roll served with a lobster tail. The lobster tail is a beautiful and delicate addition to Ninja Thai and Sushi Bar’s already eloquent presentations. Come hungry and be prepared to let the sushi chefs amaze you with their plating skills.
