Misaki Sushi in Port Charlotte

Our waitress Mrs. Kay was very funny and attentive and amazing! She did such a wonderful job! She made sure our drinks were topped off and got us all the sauce and stuff we needed! She was very helpful with all our the questions we had and didn't mind helping us! Thank you so much to her! Our food was amazing we got the Port Charlotte roll, the Crazy Spicy Tuna roll, and the Spicy Conch roll! They were all amazingly awesome! The food came out fast and was very fresh, delicious, and tasty! ♾️/10! I would say it's the best sushi place in the area for sure! They also serve ramen and fresh URCHIN! WOW! It's such a neat place with such a friendly welcoming atmosphere! We were very comfortable there and the staff made us feel like we were family friends! It's a great family owned local business! Also I got the ginger salad and the miso soup and OMG both were spectacular! I mean absolutely DELICIOUS! The good fortune cat greeted us as we entered! I will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much to the people of Misaki Sushi! 🫶🥰 ALSO THEY WERE SO COOL TO PUT LIGHTS ON THE PLATE OF PUR SUSHI! 😎 🆒

Overall, avoid at all costs. Below is a detailed review of this establishment. Many months of dining here and cataloged reports of every major event. - Sanitation issues - Insects - Spoiled Seafood - Contaminated Silverware & Plates - Overall, repeated food poisoning reports from my business associates. Below is where the review starts, which begins excellently, but drastically becomes a literally nightmare. The Tempura Appetizer was very good. Crispy and not saturated by oil. I’m more accustomed to a more transitional style Tempura flakes, but this is good alternative. It has great flavor. The lunch special came with Miso Soup and a Japanese style salad. The soup hit all the fundamental marks for flavor and consistency. Nothing out of this world, but you know you’re eating good Miso Soup. The salad, is a salad to be fair. The only thing that makes a salad stand out is the sauce. In this case, it is a carbon copy of a traditional dressing, that leans a bit too much on the sweet side. It is good, but not as balanced. I had the lunch sushi special, to try their more “fresh” dishes. All the cut fish looked excellent, had the proper textures, and the correct tastes. For the roll, I had the one with the filet mignon. I don’t remember the name of the roll. It was good, but not something worth remembering. A great lunch and a place I would highly recommend over many many others in Port Charlotte and various local counties. With a soda, one appetizer, a premium lunch special, and an uncooked sushi roll, it came out to: $41.89 plus a $15 Tip. Update: 2024 November 18 I ordered the BMW Roll and Shrimp Tempura Entree and now have food poisoning. It was the only thing I ate today. It’s 2AM and have not stopped being sick for the past 6 hours. Update: 2024 December 6 - Order the same foods that caused issues prior with no personal health issues in the past week. - Level of Customer Service has significantly increased with additional attention to details. - Quality and freshness of foods has significantly increased. - Will recommend location after additional visits to ensure overall quality has been sustained. Final Update: 2024 December 23 - Shrimp Tempura: vegetables were soggy on the inside. - Miso Soup was excellent. - House Salad was excellent. - Naratu Sushi Roll (Cucumber Wrap) was absolutely abysmal. The worst tasting sushi I have ever had tasted. It was saturated in a pink liquid which tasted funny. Come to find out it was a pink laxative they put in my sushi. It was already suspicious that the waitress asked why I didn’t eat it all and to tell her why I didn’t eat it all. Of the dozen times I’ve eaten here and left food on the plate, she has not once asked me this question. I soon realized what they attempted to do and I asked for the bill. I got home and became ill. They have their children working there during multiple visits which, under Florida law, is illegal given their age. Taking orders, answering phone calls, and assisting customers is the responsibility of employees which he has fulfilled on multiple and separate occasions. Hopefully, they will be reported to proper the authorities and be investigated. Especially, on multiple reports on food poisoning. They also have other employees in the back and at the sushi bar that are not legally documented to work. No work visa, no citizenship, no green card. I’ve been a responsible reviewer of restaurants, establishments, and various locations for many years. This review is an extended and long detailed report. As you can see from their response to my review, they wish me to not return as well. Most locations wish to find a resolution. In this case, they are aware of the problems, but choose to ignore them even though recommended to. Unfortunately, after serious consideration, I cannot recommend this location any further after a long period of dining here. A multitude of opportunities to provide an unbiased review has lead to this result. The prices have also increased dramatically while the portions have decreased in direct results as well.

So we found this place and we just love it service is always friendly and fast. Food is fairly priced and hot and fresh. Never a bad meal here. I like the filet and shrimp with extra veggies. My friends like the sushi. Free refills and no up charge on your credit card. Large portions. Well cooked to order. Kitchen staff knows how to prepare a hibachi filet. Very friendly staff. Everyone smiling. They all thank you for coming. Much better than the crabby counter lady in Punta Gorda off Virginia ave. Try it you will love it too.

First Time Here and Everything was Delicious The Misaki for 2 was amazing 👏 😋 Filet was Perfection! Shrimp and Lobster Perfect! And fried cheesecake at the end!! Sushi 🍣 YUMMY Tried something New 12/24 The Steak & Scallion Appetizer very delightful 😊 The Filet you can cut with a fork! Lobster melts in your Mouth! Always consistent:)

I brought my girl here for her birthday today. The service here was very good. They took us to a corner table. The location is very good. We all liked it. It was very private. My girl ordered the California roll, Dragon roll, and some Special rolls, She liked it very much. It tasted very good and fresh. The meal was served quickly and we didn’t have to wait too long. In the end, the staff here helped us light candles and gave the child a pair of birthday glasses and played birthday song. We are very satisfied with the food, environment, service, and lovely staff.

The food was very fresh and delicious, large in quantity and affordable. The food was exquisite and the service was great. The food was served quickly and I didn’t have to wait too long. Both adults and children enjoyed their meal. We will come back again.

Always have a great meal and service here. We get takeout frequently, aa we'll as dine in. Nice family run business, reasonable prices, plentiful, great tasting portions. Hibachi shrimp,steak, and chicken are all very good. Sushi is good as well. Soup and salad with dinners. Warm Sake is not bad either.

I visited this sushi restaurant and ordered the dragon roll, expecting a standout crab flavor. Sadly, the crab was either absent or undetectable—cucumber took over the roll to the degree that I poked half of it out of each slice with my chopsticks. It wasn’t terrible—just underwhelming and disappointing for the price. There was barely any roe at all on top. The hot sake, though, was a highlight; it was great and warmed me up perfectly. The tap water was gross—I could taste it—so I switched to bottled. The waitress was very nice, and the service was excellent overall, though presumably because I arrived 40 minutes before closing, I felt a bit rushed. Worth a revisit, but I’d skip the dragon roll.

Update 04/03: We're backkkkk😂🤣 We ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen and King Losbter Rolls. Yummy yummy 😋. Both are very good. The lobster tempura is crunchy, the avocado is so creamy that blended in perfectly with its sauce. Shirley, our server was wonderful and friendly, very attentive too. She's frequently checked on us for water refilling and other things... We really liked the freshness of the food and the good service of this restaurant. Price is fair too. Highly recommend it. Found this wonderful restaurant on Google. It located in between Beals and Winn Dixie. Very welcoming staff. Special shout out to Kay, our server, she is attentive and helpful. She recommended some of their popular dishes from a large menu. My husband and I, we tried Tonkotsu ramen (new item) and it was DELICIOUS. The creamy broth is balanced with the noodles and the sliced pork is perfect tendered as well as the egg yolk. Our next dish was Misaki Special for 2, it's a combo for 2 which came with lobster tail, shrimp, steak that served with fried rice, noodles and mixed vegetables. It also came with miso soup and salad. Last, but not least, a yummy dessert for 2 also included. Very tasty, good food and not oily at all. Generous portion too. We could only finishing 1 out of 2 portions, therefore, to go the left over for the next day. Still good. Lol 😁 Good food, good service. What's not to like? We'll definitely come back to try other dishes soon.
