Mayaki Sushi & Izakaya

Travel Distance/time from Florida Delight (2.5 miles: 7 minutes)

Mayaki Sushi & Izakaya is a new Japanase restaurant which is conveniently located just under 10 miutes drive from the villa. 

We ate there twice when we were on holiday at the villa in February 2024 which coincided with their soft opening of the restaurant. This meant that it wasn't fully ready at that point in terms of having their full menu available. A few months on though it is fully functioning with full menu now operating although they didn't sell alcohol at the time due to waiting for the alcohol licence and looking at the menu I don't think alcohol is available.

The food when we went was excellent. Lots of choice, great food and it was delicious. We preferred to choose a number of small plates between us rather than having a small plate/starter followed by a main each. This way we got to try lots of the different dishes and there was more than enough to eat doing this. 

If you don't want small plates tapas style eating you can have main size of curry, ramen and very speciality dishes.

Apart from the fact that we enjoyed the food we liked going to this restaurant because it is the nearest to Watersong so a nice easy drive and it is in the same car park as Publix at Loughman's Crossing so parking is easy. At the time we went we didn't have to wait for a table on either occasion and service was fast and friendly.

I notice there are very few reviews for Mayaki Sushi & Izakaya on TripAdvisor to date but well over 100 Google reviews which give it an average of 4.5/5 which is very good.
