Met a dear friend for happy hour. Our experience was exceptional. Everything was fresh and delicious.
My husband and I went for the happy hour specials. Sushi was yummy and our server Leah was very attentive and quick. Probably should have done the two for one house wines because the liquor drinks were a little pricey. I will definitely be back.
Well…beautiful facility, nice outside sitting area and seemed well if not over staffed, the food and drinks were presented nicely, we had the Green Dragon and the Lavender Margarita and both were very nice.We started with the Edamame’s and the Krab & Mint Rangoons were both good, the Rangoons were refreshing.However from there it went south.The service was very slow, when we got our appetizers my wife ordered a Tequila Sunrise and after a long wait our dinners came and still no drink. We we’re almost finished eating and the server came and told us that they didn’t have any orange juice for the drink and that they sent someone to go get some at the grocery store. As she brought the drink with no OJ we finished our dinner and they staff member that went for the OJ came back with it and they remade the drink correctly.This is why they are being given a 4 star instead of a 2 or 3 star.As for they Sushi it was presented nicely but was lacking flavors, we had 5 rolls (Yoshi’s roll, Rising Phoenix, Pineapple Express, Godzilla and Hamachi Lovers) only the “Rising Phoenix” tasted different mainly it was warmed and had lots of sauces, everything else tasted basically the same.As for the slow service?It may have just been our server because there were tables that were sat after us and left before we got our food.So I would chalk that up to a inexperienced server which will be left unnamed.
It is my first time here since they moved from carrollwood and i definitely i prefer the old sushi alive .I had the tuna avocado salad and it is different from the one in carrollwood,it was good but it is missing something,the sushi i wasn't impressed like before .Banana sundae was so good with the tempura,nice texture and flavor and the chocolate lava it was fine.
This is our favorite sushi place! Staff is friendly and the place is clean.The ginger salad and Pho are really good too, we come here often and it's always good.
Consistently good, staff is so nice. Happy hour is always busy so you can expect a wait but the host staff will keep you in the loop of estimated times. Entrees from hot to cold have been great. Lots of parking in the plaza but sometimes might push to the front of the drug store next door.
In short, they do a good job providing a sushi option that is diverse, delicious and casual. I have not been here in several years and noticed a definite improvement. While roll sizes have diminished, the flavors are still there. Love the Hamachi appetizer, they do a nice tempura app and offer a huge assortment of tasty rolls. Only miss thus far is the spider roll, it's one of my favorite items to order and Sushi Alive needs to go back to the drawing board on that one. Definitely reccommend this location.
Honestly really good food for our first experience here on a Wednesday night. It wasn't busy and our service was good. Our server tried to joke around with us, which was nice! They put a type of carboard table runner - pretty sure it's to keep the tables clean of any mess? That was interesting. The California, Mexican and Veggie rolls are so good. Sauces on the side cost 50 cents extra, I believe, and they give a good amount filled to the top. The pho was great and filling. The chicken teriyaki plate was also very good - we got charged a bit extra to add sirloin, as well. We even ordered another veggie roll because it was so easy, crunchy and delicious to eat. The Crème Brûlée is surprising tasty at an Asian restaurant. The chocolate lava cake was decent. I like that they put strawberries on both desserts and added a couple chocolate sticks to them, too. They have an interesting variety of food - you wouldn't think to find Pho and such specifically at a sushi restaurant, so it was a nice surprise. We very much enjoyed our dinner and will be back to try more!
Came to eat with family and friends. Took like an hour for them to receive their food. I didn't receive my food personally. Our waiter sent another waiter to tell me she did not put in my meal. Another member received a kid sized meal and did not get his meal. Thank you for the 20% gratuity you charged for parties larger than 8 with 7 orders delivered. My first time personally to this place and will not be back. Picture is of the food I didn't receive.
We purchased a delicious platter from this restaurant and when i got home and realized that something was wrong with my order they went above and beyond to correct the mistake, excellent customer service, excellent quality, taste, and presentation, this will always remain my go-to for sushi :)
