Bean Sprout
$ | (321) 632-8999 | WEBSITE
Sure, maybe you grabbed some quick sushi elsewhere, but you’re still going to want a proper sushi dinner later. You’re just a short drive from one of the best sushi spots around at Bean Sprout. Already tried the classic rolls? Get the volcano duck or bulgogi – they’re just as good.
Sushi Factory
$$ | (321) 300-6644 | WEBSITE
Haven’t been to Melbourne recently? There are tons of new things happening in this area, and it’s about time you did some exploring. Start off at Sushi Factory, a sushi bar with a robot delivering orders, serving the kind of sashimi that you rarely come by in Florida. If you get excited about thick-cut sashimi, you should be excited about Sushi Factory.
Sabai Thai Restaurant
$ | (321) 733-0895 | WEBSITE
After exploring Melbourne’s sushi scene, make your way to Sabai Thai Restaurant. Resist the urge to judge by its unassuming exterior and go straight inside, which will defy all your preconceived notions about bland suburban Thai spots. This one is actually delightful. The cozy space feels authentic, with warm lighting and simple wooden tables that create a welcoming atmosphere.
You’ll find the Panang curry rivals what you’d get in much larger cities, while the Kiss of Fire sushi roll brings just the right amount of heat. The Amazing Chicken entrée delivers exactly what its name promises, and the new poke bowls offer a refreshing alternative. Service moves at its own pace, but the friendly staff makes you feel at home. Expect to spend about $15-25 per entrée, which feels reasonable for such fresh, flavorful food.
It’s a true gem that makes you forget you’re in a strip mall.
Mangetsu
$ | (321) 499-4988 | WEBSITE
If you haven’t tried Mangetsu yet, we’re putting an end to that oversight right now. Yes, the whole busy weekends/street parking can be challenging thing is really inconvenient. We hear you. But Mangetsu comes as close as it gets to an exceptional Asian dining experience, and is more than worth it. Especially if you have time to explore the neighborhood’s cute shops while you wait for that perfect table.
Makotos Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi
$$ | (321) 724-8751 | WEBSITE
Our appreciation for excellent casual Japanese restaurants is well-documented. But Makoto’s is a particularly good one to hit for special occasions, when they fire up all the hibachi grills, so the dining room gets that lively energy – and there’s plenty of generous portions as well. Great for everything from celebrations to dinner with friends, Makoto’s is a place that’ll always make you go, ‘Oh yeah, that’s a good idea.’
Nitro Sushi Food Truck
$$ | (321) 367-0637 | WEBSITE
If you can’t get to a fancy sushi bar, your next best option is to pretend like you can. And the best spot in town to do just that is Nitro Sushi Food Truck. We like to swing by in the late afternoon, when the sun’s still out. Grab a few bites like the Flaming Hot Cheetos Sushi-rrito and some Spicy Tuna Fuego Nachos, ignore the fact you’re behind a plaza, and suddenly you’re at a creative culinary hotspot somewhere in Tokyo. Imagination is delicious.
Thai Hana Restaurant & Sushi Bar
$ | (321) 636-3363 | WEBSITE
After all that shopping, you’re going to be hungry. Head down the street to Thai Hana, a cozy Asian fusion spot that’s open for both lunch and dinner every day. Keep the family outing going with fresh sushi rolls and steaming curries on the table. The Krab Angel appetizer is also killer.
Thai Koji & Sushi Bar
$ | (321) 622-6576 | WEBSITE
After pad Thai and Thai hot drunken noodles, make your way over to Thai Koji & Sushi Bar, a hidden gem that, on any given day, is where you’ll find authentic Thai flavors. Add in the friendly staff and fresh ingredients, and Thai Koji has everything you need for a great meal out, all under one modest roof.
Osuki Sushi
$$ | (321) 802-3228 | WEBSITE
Once you start to get tired of the downtown hustle and hungry for real sushi, come back to calm and head to Osuki Sushi. It’s a quiet, intimate restaurant inside a small mall-style area. Don’t know what that means? That makes two of us. All you need to know is it’s cozy as hell in here. And the sushi is pretty unbelievable, too.
Siam Orchid Thai & Japanese
$ | (321) 729-6383 | WEBSITE
So arrive at Siam Orchid Thai & Japanese hungry, put your name down, and then make the five minute (ok, seven – but you’re going to have plenty of time to chat anyway) minute stroll around the plaza. This is one of our favorite special occasion spots – the sushi is fantastic, and so are the Thai dishes, and so are the appetizers, and so is the warmly lit dining room.
One important note: part of the charm of Siam Orchid is that it’s reasonably priced – stop by the bar on your way from the entrance to your table so that you’ll have your drink ready when your miso soup arrives.
Asian Time – Asian Cuisine and Sushi Bar
$ | (321) 600-4839 | WEBSITE
Like the idea of Asian cuisine, but want something a little more refined than your typical takeout spot? How about sushi that looks like edible art… would that do it for you? Plan a satisfying meal starting at Asian Time. On point.
