SAKANA NIKKEI – Japanese
Peruvian-Japanese Nikkei room on Southwest 1st Avenue in Fort Lauderdale, marrying Peru's vibrant ceviches with precision sushi in a space split between Peruvian artwork and Japanese minimalism. Dining room, bar, and outdoor seats run to 11 or midnight, with Resy reservations, Toast ordering, and private banquets behind. It suits Las Olas-adjacent ceviche scholars, leche-de-tigre-and-nigiri pairings, date nights with two passports, and diners chasing the Nikkei genre's best argument. The house billing promises a truly unforgettable dining adventure, and the room is staged to match it.
