ushi Samba continues to spice up their Japanese Latin American menu with a heated flair. Offering a selection of Seviche and Tiradito with Asian influences, SS merges the distinct cultures seamlessly while allowing both to standout on your plate. Take the King Salmon Sashimi Seviche with guava, carrot & mojito sauce – that’s something they surely don’t have in Japan. Add a Peruvian Pisco Sour to your meal and ponder why you didn’t think to merge Japanese and Brazilian cuisine before.

The private lounge can accommodate even 100 of your “best” friends, which is a great idea for a social gathering or special event. People just seem to be more social and friendly when there’s finger food available for snacking on.

Carlos Barillas (formerly of China Grill, Ago and Nobu Miami) recently became the new chef de cuisine here, so even loyal followers can expect some new and exciting offerings on the menu. He replaces Jose Mendin, who has left the Sunshine State for Vegas, where he's opening a new Sushi samba there (sushi lovers, take note of that).

Order a few rolls, like the Rainbow Dragon- it combines eel, pepper, cucumber, mango, and avocado. To sushi lovers, this is a tasty treat that melts on your tongue. To sushi/seafood haters (like me), this is like eating Snow White’s poison apple. But what both Snow White and sushi haters have in common is that they don’t know what the food is going to taste like. It could take some getting used to, but you may find this cuisine delicious. Hey, at least it’s not going to kill you. Snow White didn’t fare as well as you will.

If your’re still squirming, relax. They also offer grilled hanger steak, ribeye, pork tenderloin, and other dishes that are fully cooked. On Tuesdays, SS also features Cosplay, a combination of the words “costume” and “play.” Basically, if you dress up like a character from Japanese anime, video games, or movies, you’re up for the grand prize, which is cash money (picture Wilmer Valderrama saying it and it’s much funnier).
