Heart Rock Sushi
1970 E. Sunrise Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304
(954) 779-2735

Located in the quirky Gateway Shopping Center, this Fort Lauderdale favorite packs in the crowds day after day. At first glance, it’s easy to see why. The owners have hit on the perfect formula for a sushi restaurant: soft lighting, comfortable seating, and, of course, fresh fish served in generous portions. Sushi and sashimi can be ordered by the piece or in platters. Mix it up a bit and order a combo platter; you won’t be disappointed with the results! Sake, plum wine or Japanese beer provides a great accompaniment to the menu selections. Check out the dessert section of the Heart Rock menu, a course not taken seriously at most other sushi restaurants. The banana fried in a spring roll skin and served with honey and chocolate or caramel sauce is a sweet way to end a great sushi meal.
