Vizen Japanese Cuisine, Sarasota, Florida, Japanese Restaurant Details

Food:

I am extremely picky, and this is truly 5 star. The quality is unparalleled. Service, spectacular. Not just for Sarasota-- but nationwide. This is only 1 of 2 places I will even eat sushi in Sarasota. GO! you will not be disappointed. Leave the kids at home. This is a quiet place, almost disarmingly so at first.

Food:

Best sushi in Sarasota, hands down. BUT, not sure who determined the two dollar signs--Vizen is expensive!! The two of us never leave there for over $110.

Food:

Pricey...plus small portions....add that to just O.K. service...and you have an expensive unsatisfying meal. When we left this restaurant, all four of us were still hungry...so we went next door and ordered a pizza.

If Japanese food is what you crave, drive ten minutes to Siesta Village and eat at Joto.

Food:

Vizen is absolutely awesome. The best sushi in Sarasota!

Food:

we had a wonderful dinner here. I am extremely picky about food and this restaurant came through with flying colors. The whole experience was fantastic.
Perfect waitress, perfect food. Partner had the salmon dinner which was cooked to perfection. Other dishes (I like small dishes to taste lots of things): seafood miso (great), seafood roll (ditto), agedashi tofu, one of my favorites, was very good but the dipping sauce could use a little more flavor, the house salad was large with prefectly fresh greens and unlike some other Japanese restaurants was not drenched in dressing, very very good.

We will return to try the sushi which we normally order but this time wanted to try some different menu items.

Atmosphere: perfect. Music was peaceful not too loud and obnoxious. Perfect temperature too (another pet peeve).
The food presentation is WAY above any other restaurant we've been to, more like a 5 star hotel restaurant in Vegas. Very pretty and very tasty.

Dress code: yes they don't want gym clothes but shorts would be OK. Just don't look like you've just left the beach. Put on a shirt, some shoes and enjoy.
